Congress Asks Trump to Prosecute Clinton Private Server Team for Obstruction
Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 27, 2017 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 04/27/2017 9:03:43 PM PDT by SSS Two

The private internet company hired by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton to maintain her private email server has been obstructing a congressional investigation into its actions for more than a year, prompting a leading lawmakers to refer the case to the Trump administration’s Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas), chairman of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, has asked the DOJ to prosecute Platte River Networks CEO Treve Suazo for obstructing a congressional investigation into his company’s role in providing security for Clinton’s home brewed email server, which became the subject of widespread debate following revelations that it had multiple security vulnerabilities.

Smith, whose committee has jurisdiction over the investigation, said the Congress would not tolerate Platte River's failure to comply with the investigation.

"The Committee is referring Mr. Treve Suazo, CEO of Platte River Networks, to the Department of Justice for prosecution under federal laws pertaining to failing to produce subpoenaed documents, making false statements to Congress regarding possession of documents, and obstructing Congress," Smith said in a statement.

"Platte River Networks, a company hired by former Secretary Hillary Clinton, has deliberately withheld requested materials from the Committee and refused to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas," Smith alleged. "With a new administration in place, I am hopeful that the Department of Justice will appropriately respond to the referral. We cannot allow companies with valuable information to stonewall us in our oversight efforts."

Gotta start cleaning out that swamp somewhere; this seems like a good place to start and set an example of things to come.

When dominoes start falling I bet the skunks who thought they would get away with it will start coming forward to make a deal rather than fall on their swords for someone who would never do it for them.

Get those who are clearly criminals. Throw the book at them unless they spill the beans.

How about Clinton? She deleted mail and smashed her phones with a hammer. A clear cut case of obstruction.

“Trump is being ambushed by every damned Dem and media moron that sucks air”

Leo that’s the truth, but if I were Trump, I’d be wary of the RINOs trying to mousetrap me as well. Cornyn is a POS! I wouldn’t trust that MFer as far as I could throw him. Hopefully, this request is on the up and up. But if I were Trump, I’d move carefully in this area, because while it would make all of us “feel good” that someone connected with Hillary is in jail, it would not be worth the possible “political cost” in other areas.

When you can’t get in the front door, the best strategy is to try the back door. And if that doesn’t work, a window into things is the next option. We’re going in the window, and once in, both doors will manage to open themselves when the roof blows off. Watch.

Which is why Chelsea Clinton must run for office. It is yhe only way Hillary can hide from prosecution. They are like sharks. If they stop swimming they die.
