Hillary Clinton investigators were told Obama DOJ 'not willing to charge' her on key espionage statute: internal chart

An internal chart prepared by federal investigators working on the so-called "Midyear Exam" probe into Hillary Clinton's emails, exclusively reviewed by Fox News, contained the words "NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this" next to a key statute on the mishandling of classified information. The notation appeared to contradict former FBI Director James Comey's repeated claims that his team made its decision that Clinton should not face criminal charges independently.

Fox News has confirmed the chart served as a critical tip that provided the basis for Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe's explosive questioning of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page last year, in which Page agreed with Ratcliffe's characterization that the DOJ had told the FBI that "you're not going to charge gross negligence." A transcript of Page's remarks was published Tuesday as part of a major document release by the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.

The document, entitled "Espionage Act Charges - Retention/Mishandling," contained a list of several criminal statutes related to the mishandling of classified information, as well as a list of all the elements that prosecutors would need to prove in order to successfully prosecute a case.

If you don’t obstruct justice, and someone goes through the judicial process, you are privileged to give them a pardon. What Obama did was rig the system and obstruct justice for political purposes. He committed a crime, like so may others, in doing so. The media is now calling it a pre-facto pardon. It’s not, it’s obstruction of justice and tyranny.

Together, the congressional GOP and PDJT could destroy the rat party for the next generation.

When I step into the voting booth next year to vote for PDJT, I hope I remember this: the GOP had every tool available to do (legally) to do to the rats, what the rats tried to do (illegally) to PDJT.

So, Comey might not have been truthful in his testimony? I am shocked! I hope the new AG is paying attention.
