So a judge asks the government to kindly ask her not to...
Now this can’t be, can it? A Clinton aide blatantly destroying evidence in a criminal investigation? That would never happen.
OK, I’ll wait for you to stop laughing. This is the level of absurdity we’ve reached in the Hillary e-mail boondoggle, except that this doesn’t even really quite cover it. Because not only is Cheryl Mills destroying e-mails she’s supposed to be handing over, but the federal judge who issued the order is now sadly reduced to pleading with the Obama Administration to please ask her not to. How do you think that’s going to go? The New York Observer reports:
Issue a bench warrant for her arrest and send in the US Marshals.
With hillary having certified that they’d all been handed over.
If they can raid Sheriff Joe Arpaio's offices, they sure as hell ought to be able to raid Cheryl Mills's and Hitlery Rotten Clinton's.
MEMO TO JUDGE SULLIVAN: Sen Grassley has determined the Hillary/Huma/Cheryl MO. Abedin's "special employment status" allowed her to work for the State Dept, Teneo Strategies and the Clinton Foundation.
Abedin used Hillary's server......she had access to Hillary's ntl security info......valuable info that could be sold to countries and companies for a fee, of course, and a contribution to the Clinton Foundation.
Go get 'em Judge: all the material is on Teneo servers and the Clinton Foundation servers. ...and on the servers of the buyers and donors.
Try to think like the practiced Clinton gang....factor in the con artists destroyed them much earlier....when the heat was on.
L/E says this is a classic criminal MO-—destroy everything.
Hillary’s closest adviser is hiding the truth of her emails
May 17, 2015
If Congress really wants to get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton’s missing Benghazi and pay-to-play emails, it should call her consigliere Cheryl D. Mills to testify — under oath, and under the klieg lights.
A hearing featuring Clinton will be a wasted show trial with a lot of political grandstanding.
But Mills, who served as the former secretary of state’s chief of staff and counselor, knows where the bodies are buried. After all, Hillary tasked her with “identifying and preserving all emails that could potentially be federal records.”
And, presumably, deleting.
Mills has a long track record of hiding Clinton documents.
Since the 1990s, Mills has been at Hillary’s side — first as a White House lawyer, then as her closest and most loyal adviser at the State Department, and now as a key member of the Clinton Foundation board, which is under fire for raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from dubious foreign sources in alleged influence-peddling deals.
The job of damage control has fallen to Mills through a parade of scandals. Her lack of cooperation is legendary. In fact, she’s been officially accused of both perjury and obstruction of justice.
Sworn affidavits, depositions and court rulings, as well as congressional reports and testimony, paint a picture of, to put it charitably, a brazenly dishonest cover-up specialist.
Among her shenanigans:
•As White House deputy counsel, Mills ordered Commerce Department officials to “withhold” from investigators emails and other documents detailing then-President Bill Clinton’s and first lady Hillary Clinton’s allegedly illegal selling of seats on foreign trade junkets for campaign cash, according to sworn statements by Commerce’s former FOIA chief. “Ms. Mills, in her position as deputy counsel to the president, advised Commerce officials to withhold certain documents,” testified Sonya Stewart Gilliam in a July 2000 sworn affidavit taken by Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group in Washington. “The Commerce Department’s collaboration with White House Deputy Counsel Mills on these matters was, in my experience, highly irregular and at variance with normal procedures.
•At the same time, a federal judge ruled that Mills “failed miserably” to take proper steps to search for and recover 1.8 million Executive Office of the President and Office of the First Lady emails under subpoena in the Monica Lewinsky and Filegate scandal investigations, after computer contractors discovered them mysteriously missing from the automated White House archiving system. Mills, who was in charge of finding the lost email, conveniently made “the most critical error” in recovering them, US District Judge Royce Lamberth concluded in a 63-page opinion, adding that he found her actions “loathsome.” In fact, Judicial Watch accused Mills of orchestrating a “cover-up” in what became known as “Email-gate.” Her court testimony in the case, during which she repeatedly answered “I don’t have a recollection,” sounds like an interview with an amnesia patient. (In the end, the emails were never recovered.)
•In another scandal, Mills “concealed” so many subpoenaed emails and other documents detailing allegedly illegal fundraising activity between the White House and the Democratic National Committee — specifically, Hillary’s illegal integration of White House and DNC computer databases — that staff lawyers for the House Government Oversight Committee in 1998 sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department demanding federal prosecutors charge Mills with obstruction of justice and perjury. “Ms. Mills knowingly and willfully obstructed the investigative authority of this committee by withholding documents,” the panel concluded in a 647-page investigative report. “Moreover, when this obstruction was brought to light in a hearing before the committee, Ms. Mills lied under oath about the documents and the circumstances surrounding their nonproduction.”
•In October 2012, Mills sorted through key Benghazi documents and decided which ones to withhold from an independent review board. She also leaned on witnessses. Deputy ambassador to Libya Gregory Hicks testified before Congress in 2013 that Mills told him in an angry phone call to stop cooperating with investigators.
•On behalf of the Clintons, Mills negotiated the weak conflict-of-interest rules for disclosing foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation with the Obama administration. She also reportedly helped broker international payments to the group.
In short, Mills “is in the middle of it,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
An investigator with the House Select Committee on Benghazi said if the panel calls Mills as a witness, her testimony will most likely be taken behind closed doors in a “transcribed interview.” That would be a mistake.
Mills should be sworn in and grilled in a public hearing in front of TV cameras.
Sweating Mills could crack the case wide open. Otherwise, Hillary could walk away unscathed, waltz right back into the White House — and Mills could end up running it as chief of staff.
Apparently threats issued by judges in DC have no teeth, otherwise Lois Lerner and that arrogant SOB Koskinen would be experts in breaking big rocks into small rocks. This seems to be a similar circumstance.
So ... Cheryl ... if you were “told to” jump off a bridge, would you do that too?
Crap like this is exactly why Hillary will never face justice. Much as it sucks, the undeniable fact is the Clintons are above laws and can act with impunity. The judge says “turn the documents over,” and Hillary’s people say “piss on you.. we do what we want.”
Well, that bench warrant has to go through the Attorney General before any US Marshalls are dispatched, no?
Yes, they have no teeth if the Attorney General is a political partisan who is willing to obstruct, rather than assist those judges.
Add to that for a brief time she was married to Bill Clinton’s right hand man Bruce Lindsey.
Sweating Mills could crack the case wide open. Otherwise, Hillary could walk away unscathed, waltz right back into the White House — and Mills could end up running it as chief of staff.
Eventually the case against Hitlary will be dismissed for lack of evidence, such is the total control by the Progressive Liberal Democrat/Rino Communist Uni-Party.
You are correct. Imagine what Mitch McConnell’s deepest, darkest, most disturbing secret must be, then realize that the Clintons have it on a thumb drive.
Personal lawyer order doesn’t supercede judge’s order.
There must be some real whoppers they havent turned in yet.
Well looks like the Clinton crime family has mellowed in its old age. Instead of killing incriminating witnesses, they are killing incriminating emails.
These people are either so stupid that they think other people won't notice when watching this Mills woman declare publicly that she is going destroy her emails to Hillary Clinton.
Or they have such huge huevos, that they are mocking the law and the judge and taking their chances on not getting prosecuted.
Or these people are so evil that they think they are above the laws of the land and don't have to comply with the judges order like everyone else has to.
Knowing the liberals and the government as they have proved themselves for years, I bet on the latter scenario. They will get away with this. They will not be prosecuted and held accountable because they run with the correct inside Washington crowd. If you or I were to try this, we would already be in jail and trying to figure out how to pay the huge monetary fine the court had penalized us with.
Unbelievable....
