Déjà Vu: When Bill Clinton Pardoned His Former CIA Director Over Classified Documents On His Home Computer
By HANS A. VON SPAKOVSKY & CHARLES STIMSON August 21, 2015
Bill Clinton’s administration was nowhere near as lenient as Obama’s is being with Hillary. What’s past is prologue. — William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act II, Scene 1
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton insists she did nothing wrong by running all of her government communications, including classified material, through her unsecured, home-brewed computer server. Perhaps she’s forgotten one of her husband’s final acts in the Oval Office: issuing a presidential pardon to former CIA director John Deutch. Deutch’s offense? Keeping classified material on unsecured home computers. The pardon came just as Deutch was reportedly going to cop a plea with the Justice Department. Deutch headed the CIA from May 1995 to December 1996. Several days after he left the agency, classified material was discovered on a government-owned computer at his house in Bethesda, Md. Additionally, unsecured classified magnetic media were found in the study.
According to the CIA inspector general’s report, the computer had been “designated for unclassified use only.” Unlike the current administration’s six-month delay in obtaining Clinton’s computer, the feds moved almost immediately in the Deutch case. Within ten days of discovering the errant material, they retrieved the hard drive from Deutch’s computer. A formal security investigation was opened within a month.

Drilling down further, it may be in the nation's interest to not allow its foes "to know what it knows they know". So, she gets a walk either way.
She gets the pardon 1 month after she withdraws from the Presidential race and endorses the fake indian
I hope she keeps fighting this.
Her lies are very entertaining.
And she is really helping the Democrat Party.
Come on Hillary! Tell us how the moon men hypnotized you!
I remember this happening. BTTT!
My opinion is that most of the Clinton Foundation windfall was in anticipation of Hillary becoming POTUS both 2008 and 2016.
Obviously the first didn’t work out and the second may well not either.
