"This is gigantic," said diGenova. "She caused to be removed a classified marking and then had it transmitted in an unencrypted manner. That is a felony. The removal of the classified marking is a federal crime. It is the same thing to order someone to do it as if she had done it herself."
If Hillary being indicted depends on action by the Obama Justice Department, then I can practically guarantee that no indictment will ever be brought against her.
She is guilty as sin on so many issues...but they may be able to get her on this one.
If she in fact instructed someone working for her to remove the security headers and markings of a classified correspondence, and then send it unsecure...she did in fact commit a serious crime and should be prosecuted for it.
I hope and pray they do. she more than deserves it.
I still hope the undoubtedly damning evidence of her and Obama’s dealing in Benghazi some day comes out...that would send her away for 25 or more years.
And there it is.
Watch for the Left to either suddenly coalesce around Bernie or find someone else to shove into front-runner status.
I want to see the actual email. Annoys me when reporters spend more text paraphrasing a document than just publishing it verbatim.
Only the CoC can give a stand down order, and only the SoS need know.
Yep, I’m going to start holding my breath right now. The ruling elite have to follow the same laws as normal people, so she will definitely get charged.
“It’s not clear if Sullivan actually followed through on Clinton’s orders. But if he did, it may expose Clinton to serious legal jeopardy.”
I’m not a lawyer but it seems that giving the order puts her in jeopardy regardless of whether he acted on it.
Hillary isn’t going to be indicted. The things that us lesser mortals would go to prison for, that’s the political equivalent of a parking ticket for her.
Its a non-issue. And proving she knew she handled classified e-mail and improperly resent it is going to be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
It may be a felony but who cares? Its the same kind of felony like lying in court. Big deal and the Clintons get away with it.
Methinks someone is leaking out false info from the FBI to draw people into the false notion an indictment is a sure thing, knowing all along it was never coming in the first place.
This can be — in diGenova’s words — as “gigantic” as the eye can see, but Loretta Lynch knows too much will be blown open about the actions of the Obama people if she indicts Hillary.
I don’t believe Lynch will even have to make the call. Look for the FBI to conclude that, while some haphazard practices pertaining to classified documentation may have occurred, any evidence it can be linked to Hillary is, at best, “inconclusive.”
Obammy won’t touch her. Why? He knows he will go down with her if she is indicted. Mutual destruction.
Clinton will claim that the TP’s were not classified info, just innocuous nothings intended for public release anyway, and therefore not secret. The media will parrot the line over and over, and make her accusers look foolish for trying to “make political issues over nothing.”
Put money on it.
Go after the person who actually removed the security classification, and then, as his defense, he may claim he was “under orders”, and failure to comply threatened his continued livelihood.
This gives a direct shot at the “unindicted co-conspirator”.
An unindicted co-conspirator is a person who is identified by a law enforcement officer to have engaged in a conspiracy, but who is not charged in the indictment charging that person’s fellow conspirators. The term unindicted co-conspirator was familiarized in 1974.
The publicity alone is often enough to force out the unindicted co-conspirator, or at least destroy any moral authority they may claim.
She will face the same penalty as Lois Lerner. Nothing
Laws are for conservatives, not liberal apparatchiks
Was this from the New Years Eve document dump? That would be so ironic if it was.
And we all know how that just destroyed Bubba's presidency.
Oh, wait...
“The removal of the classified marking is a federal crime.”
I know Di Genova has stated this but I reviewed 18 USC 793 which is the statute cited in other articles, and I can’t find anything that specifically says this.

If there are any FReepers out there who are knowledgeable of federal criminal law, please let me know if there is a statute that specficlly addresses the removal of classified markings being a criminal offense.
This means that Satan's daughter ordered information marked classified to be sent to her without the classified markings.
Attosecond = 10^-18 sec = the time it would take for any other American with clearance to end up in the Gray Bar Hotel for doing what Satan's daughter did.
