FBI: Hillary Clinton to face Criminal Indictment for Email Abuse 'Very Soon'
Santa Monica Observer ^ | June 1, 2016 | By David Ganezer

Posted on 06/01/2016 9:36:30 AM PDT by drewh

A journalist employed by liberal Huffington Post reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) will recommend that the Department of Justice file a Federal criminal complaint, indicting U.S. Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Frank Hugenard is a political scientist, public speaker and freelance contributor to the Huff Po. He had his story removed by HuffPo editors and his account disabled without explanation. His article bore the title: ""Hillary Clinton to be Indicted On Federal Racketeering Charges" It quickly went viral before being removed.

FBI Director James Comey will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General and head of the U.S. Department of Justice, that includes a compelling argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.

Huguenard, a Bernie Sanders supporter, says that he has sources within the FBI. They say the Bureau will recommend that the DOJ file Racketeering charges against Mrs. Clinton.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States Federal Law passed in 1970 that was designed to provide a tool for law enforcement agencies to fight organized crime. RICO allows prosecution and punishment for alleged racketeering activity that has been executed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Attorneys regard the RICO statute as unduly broad, and in the past it has been used to indict even legitimate businessmen for legitimate activities.

Hillary Clinton admits using her own server to send classified e-mails, which was against State Department policy at the time.

Activity considered to be racketeering may include bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, embezzlement, illegal gambling, kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other nefarious business practices.

Huffington Post Politics senior editor Sam Stein claims to have no idea why the post was removed, and refused to give further comment when contacted by Breitbart News. Stein opined, "Sorry. I don't know. I'd direct your question to a blog editor."

A controversy arose in March 2015, when it was revealed by the State Department's inspector general that Clinton had exclusively used personal email accounts on a non-government, privately maintained server-in lieu of email accounts maintained on federal government servers-when conducting official business during her tenure as Secretary of State. Some experts, officials, members of Congress, and political opponents, contended that her use of private messaging system software and a private server violated State Department protocols and procedures, and federal laws and regulations governing record keeping requirements.

Nearly 2,100 emails contained in Clinton's server were retroactively marked classified by the State Department, though none of the emails were marked classified at the time they were sent. 65 were later classified as "secret", more than 20 were designated "top secret", and the rest were later designated as "confidential".

However, the intelligence community's inspector general wrote Congress to say that some of the emails "contained classified State Department information when originated."

In a joint statement released on July 15, 2015, the inspector general of the State Department and the inspector general of the intelligence community said that through their review of the emails, they found information that was classified when sent, remained so as of their inspection, and "never should have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system." They also stated unequivocally that those secrets never should have been stored outside of secure government computer systems. Mrs. Clinton had stated over a period of months that she kept no classified information on the private server that she set up in her house.

Smug or indicted? You decide

Government policy, reiterated in the nondisclosure agreement signed by Clinton as part of gaining her security clearance, is that sensitive information can be considered as classified even if not marked as such.[394] After allegations were raised that some of the emails in question fell into the so-called "born classified" category, an FBI probe was initiated regarding how classified information was handled on the Clinton server. In May 2016, the inspector general of the state department criticized her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state stating that she had not requested permission to use it and even if she had, she would not have been given permission.

The controversy occurred against the backdrop of Clinton's 2016 presidential election campaign and hearings held by the House Select Committee on Benghazi

"...Huguenard, a Bernie Sanders supporter,..."

Sorry, but that person lost all legitimacy right there. I only respect and recognize grownups with critical thinking skills.

If it happens, we will all be shocked. And then the Dems will circle the wagons and keep supporting her. And almost half the population will support her as long as she promises more government handouts.

Shillary indicted? Did hell call? Did it freeze over?

“They say the Bureau will recommend that the DOJ file Racketeering charges against Mrs. Clinton”

The BFI can recommend all they want to and DOJ / AG can stonewall and ignore all they want to until hell finally does freeze over.

Much as I may hope this is true, this is pretty shoddy journalism. The title makes it seem like the FBI is stating they are going to indict. They didn’t. And the content is just a copy and paste of seeming ramblings with know legal fact sprinkled in to give it credibility and there are no sources.

Today, I want to talk about this Patwa phrase that comes up a lot: “Soon come.” I still remember when PCV Jedd, then quite seasoned and near COS, told us about this phrase that we would come to understand, resent and eventually, maybe appreciate.

“Soon come” is a brilliant display of the laid back, sometimes apathetic value of time. It means, “it will come,” and that could literally mean soon, eventually, next week, soon enough, or it might mean that enough time will pass such that you’ll forget you were waiting for something.

No, they will enlist the uniparties candidate, provided by Comrade Kristol to in a desperate effort maintain their illegitimate power.

You can see the uniparty ticket now: French/Biden!

Obama and Lynch can put on the kibosh - but if they think the spotlight on their own crimes becomes too hot because of Hillary, they will throw her to the wolves. It all depends.

This is the Smoking Gun against Hillary:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-31/wikileaks-asks-if-smoking-gun-email-will-bring-down-hillary

If this is true - then that should be it. She is a criminal.

Open and shut.

But we all know "justice" does not apply to the elites.

Judge Napolitano said this morning that Hillary should be indicted for espionage. This e-mail, if true, confirms it.

It will be under review at the DOJ until well after the convention, then the Biden/Warren team takes over.

Comey is busy writing a “No Bill” message so he can “clear” the felon - which BTW is just what we want. Then Trump will try her in the court of public opinion and convict her. She will have no chance to fix a jury and or judge and no place to appeal.

We went through this with Vince Foster, Watergate, etc, etc. They will clear her of all charges, right before the DNC convention vote.

Tom Llamas will be all over it.
