Will a Hillary Clinton Presidency Trigger a Constitutional Crisis? (Spoiler alert: yep)
IN Homeland Security ^ | Nov 3, 2016 | John Ubaldi

Posted on 11/03/2016 10:11:13 PM PDT by dayglored

With all the twists and turns this presidential race has seen, nothing compares to the political bombshell that went off last Friday. In a letter to Congress, FBI Director James Comey announced that the Bureau had re-opened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

The decision came after emails possibly pertinent to the investigation were found on a computer belonging to former N.Y. Congressman Anthony Weiner. Weiner’s estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is a close Clinton advisor.

The investigation of Weiner’s laptop stemmed from his alleged exchange of sexually explicit text messages with a 15-year-old girl. In the process, FBI agents discovered thousands of emails between Clinton and Abedin, prompting the FBI to re-open the Clinton email case.

New Email Investigation Could Have Disastrous Effects on Clinton Presidency

The new Clinton federal criminal investigation could usher in a constitutional crisis. This kind of crisis has not been seen since the 1972 Watergate scandal, which forced the resignation of former President Richard Nixon.

The Electoral College favors a Clinton victory. But if Clinton wins, it would be the first time in U.S. history that a president-elect would be facing a criminal investigation while preparing to take the oath of office. Clinton’s presidency could be crippled from the start, with its focus centered on a federal criminal investigation.

No one knows what is in the over 600,000 emails in the possession of the FBI. Do they include the more than 30,000 missing emails and do they contain classified material? Do the emails show a co-mingling of the Clinton Foundation with her tenure at the State Department? Who else in the federal government is implicated in the email scandal and does it reach the White House?

[additional material from the article...]

Was the President Involved in Clinton’s Email Scandal?

In September, the FBI released a batch of documents from its investigation. The documents showed that President Obama used a pseudonym when he communicated by email with Clinton.

The Obama administration acknowledged that Obama and Clinton emailed each other while she served as secretary of state. So, did Obama and Clinton exchange classified emails on an unclassified account?

Recent revelations by WikiLeaks into the hacked emails of top Clinton advisor John Podesta showed deep concern regarding the president’s statements when he learned of Clinton’s email practices.

Now with the continued investigation by the FBI into Clinton’s email server, its continued investigation of corruption at the Clinton Foundation, its impact on the Obama administration, what did the FBI find, and how does it affect a potential Clinton administration and President Obama’s legacy?

If she “wins”, in other words, if the election is handed to her, the investigations will end. No republicans will stand against her because she has too much dirt on most of them.

That's my bet.

Nov 9, 2016, full pardons for anything Hillary & Co. did "or might have done", just like Ford and Nixon.

If for some reason it doesn't happen the day after the election, you can bet the rent it'll happen by Jan 19, 2017.

Huma and Anthony had better already be in a witness protection program.

Otherwise they're dead people walking already.

Once she adds her first Nazi gun grabber to the already laughable and disgraceful SCOTUS, the fit will hit the shan. You can bet on it.

Of course it will trigger a crisis.
And everyone except us poor schlep Joe blows will enjoy every salacious moment. There will be money to be made. Fox ratings, News Review subscriptions, the Blaze, Rush...will all make money railing against the corruption. CNN et Al will make millions defending their masters against the nasty opposition. And our tax dollars will continue to be skimmed by corrupt politicians.

Her worst punishment may be to lose to Trump. Can you imagine her winning and Obama pardoning her before takes office Jan 20?

The Constitutional Crisis will occur well before any potential swearing-in of TIAPS (Traitor)

“If she “wins”, in other words, if the election is handed to her, the investigations will end. No republicans will stand against her because she has too much dirt on most of them.”

Exactly ... she wins, all these investigations come to a halt. Comey will be “fired”, or as reported “retire to spend time with his family”, and that will be the end of it. All evidence now in FBI hands will disappear.

Anyone who thinks anything else will happen are delusional.

Another reason to insist on TERM LIMITS. Don't give them enough time to accumulate all that dirt!
