Revealed: Eleventh-hour Subpoenas in the Clinton E-mails

Why the Obama Justice Department avoided the grand jury . . . until it had no choice On the matter of the 2016 election, why is there an investigation into Russian meddling but no investigation of Justice Department meddling? The latter effort was more extensive. And it sure looks like it would be a lot easier to prove. This week, courtesy of Judicial Watch, we learned that the Obama Justice Department and the FBI did, in fact, use the grand jury in the Clinton e-mails probe. Or, to be more accurate, they fleetingly used grand-jury subpoenas, which were issued to BlackBerry service providers at the tail end of the investigation — a futile attempt to recover e-mails sent to and from then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton right before she transitioned from BlackBerry to her homebrew server.

One of the reasons why this matters:

“The news of grand-jury involvement contradicts prior reporting, at least at first blush. As we shall see, to say a grand jury was “involved” does not mean there was a real grand-jury investigation. It does, however, reinforce what we have said all along: The main subjects of the investigation could easily have been compelled to provide evidence and testimony — which is what investigators do when they are trying to make a case rather than not make a case. There was no valid reason for prosecutors to treat criminal suspects to an immunity spree. They could, for example, have served grand-jury subpoenas on Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, demanding that they surrender the private computers they used to review Clinton’s e-mails, including classified e-mails it was unlawful to transfer to such non-secure computers. The Justice Department did not have to make promises not to use the evidence against the suspects in exchange for getting the evidence.”

Thank you for that great post! I think things are going to be coming down hard in a matter of a few months...

A.G. Sessions has been mighty quiet, a few interviews on immigration, but you know he isn't just working on that, and now that one of his Deputy’s have been confirmed, oh boy watch out ... he still has another Deputy to go so I am very excited to see what is about to happen...

YAWN......

Thank you. I am sorry the link didn’t work!

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

You are welcome. I am trying !!

Next job is to learn how to post a pic!!

I’ve only been on here over a decade :).

[HarleyLady27]

Well when you learn how to post pics, please help me, I have tried for years and can’t do it...just learned how to post articles (which I’m sure JimRob is pulling his hair out over)...lol...so when you learn, give me a shout...

To me, this last paragraph is the bottom line.......

Russia’s apparent preference for one presidential candidate over the other is routinely described as a sinister scheme to “interfere with the election.” Fair enough. But how shall we describe the Department of Justice’s patent preference for one presidential candidate over the other?

They’ll find unicorns and buckets of gold at the end of the rainbow before anything comes of this.

Why do people not yet realize it’s over? This country ceased to be decades ago.

Only God can turn back the clock. But He won’t do it unless we give up our comfortable homes and lives and fight for it. The Battle Hymn Of The Republic isn’t just a bunch of random words.

Methinks if you really felt it were over, you wouldn’t be here on Free Republic with the rest of us.

Warm regards friend.

There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton committed numerous FELONIES, and was allowed to walk by Lynch and the other democRATS.

She belongs in prison, at a minimum, the entirety of her assets should be forfeited down to their last nickle.

That this nasty old bag is still on liberty is a travesty.

[HarleyLady27]

Ok, so you do the *img src=”http:// put in the picture”width=”50%”> right???

The last two paragraphs are revealing.

Second, consider what else was going on. At the very same time it was bending over backwards not to make a case on Hillary Clinton, the Justice Department was pushing very aggressively — on much thinner evidence — to try to prove that the presidential campaign of Donald Trump was in cahoots with the Putin regime. For Clinton, the Obama Justice Department ran away from the grand jury, notwithstanding that its use in investigations of obvious crimes is standard. For Trump, the Obama Justice Department ran to the FISA court, notwithstanding that its use in an investigation of the opposing political party’s presidential candidate, based on sketchy information, is extraordinary.
