Yep.
If a private citizen like Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens lies to Congress about injecting steroids into their butt they will be brought up on federal charges.
Politicians and cabinet members can lie as much as they want.
Top Secret Clearance has 3 Levels:
‘Top Secret’.... is applied to information that reasonably could be expected to cause ‘exceptionally grave damage’ to the national security if disclosed to unauthorized sources.
This level needs to be re-investigated every 5 years.
‘Secret Clearance’ ....Secret is applied to information that reasonably could be expected ‘to cause serious damage’ to the national security if disclosed to unauthorized sources.
This level is re-investigated every 10 years.
‘Confidential Clearance’.....Confidential is applied to information that reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national security ‘if disclosed to unauthorized sources’. The vast majority of military personnel are given this very basic level of clearance.
This level needs to be re-investigated every 15 years.
(Clearance Re-investigation...Reinvestigations are more important than the original investigation because those individuals who have held clearances longer are more likely to be working with increasingly critical information.)
“...to blunt an expanding probe into the use of a private email account.”
I, on the other hand, DEMAND that Hillary! turn over her blunts!
I hate this evil, reprobate, intoxicated, Fabian Socialist Harridan BEOTCH with the white-hot intensity of a THOUSAND suns! I hope I live long enough to p*ss on her grave!
She’s RIGHT behind Jane Fonda on my list!
Very nice! But thanks for ruining Merry-Go-Rounds for me, ya Jerk. ;)
“That’s why Trey Gowdy has been laying low and so quiet. He will get his hands on this if he hasn’t already”
Ahhh yeahhhh thats the ticket. Gowdy has been a big fat zero. Nothing to date to believe he has been laying low in the weeds. Phony, threatened or blackmailed into submission.
Diana, don’t hold back tell us what you really think. :-)
Some may say that even if Clinton committed security violations, there is no evidence the material got into the wrong hands no blood, no foul etc......But I understand Legally that is not relevant because “Failing to safeguard information” is the issue.
From what I’ve been reading it’s not necessary to prove the information reached an adversary, or that an adversary did anything harmful with the information for a crime to have occurred.
Possible similarities might be compared with Manning and Snowden.... The standard is “failure to protect” by itself.
However now that they’ve discovered top security clearance information has indeed been found....she’s in very deep waters.
Yeah, wonderful. The Justice Department has probably been calling her every week asking
"Hillary, are you done scrubbing that server yet? Let us know when you're done."
Meanwhile, the original hard drives were erased, shot, and left at the side of a road with a handgun nearby - more than a year ago. Some Justice Department we got, working in cahoots with Hillary all along.
“Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information” - This is even higher than just the generic “Top Secret” classification.
Wiped no doubt.
I completely agree. Why people aren't demanding she drop out tomorrow is pretty telling.
Hillary's Server Conundrum: Is it going away?
Hey Hillary, it's Never going away. . not until charges are pressed, you're tried and you go to prison. How dare you place the lives of all Americans at risk to hide your private emails. And no, saying the Secret Service was there to guard your server doesn't cut it. Duh. . .
In a sane world, that would end her candidacy right there.
If it was any of the current crop of Republicans running for President, that would end his/her candidacy right there.
If she were any republican, that would end his/her potential candidacy right there.
If it was anyone else, that would end his/her potential candidacy right there.
If it was you or me, we would be arrested tomorrow.
If it's Hillary. . .
My take is Obama wants to make sure the Hildebeast is never gonna be “Precedent” of the “not” United States ........her future is in his hands and nothing she can do about it.
May as well put one of the Cult Leaders of Iran in as POTUS as Hillary.....
She’s going down ....along with her little dog Mrs Huma Weiner what’s her name.
Just my opinion..... Stay safe !
No one can predict any outcomes here. This is the Obama-era Oligarchy at work.
“They will all answer to their Creator.”
With all that Freepers know about law, politics, Hillary psychology, history, and handling classified information, THAT is the only prediction any of us can make here.
Have they hired Sandy Berger to run the probe yet?
The FBI picked up 3 thumb drives from her lawyer.
“On Tuesday, Clinton attorney David Kendall gave to the Justice Department three thumb drives containing copies of work-related emails sent to and from her personal email addresses via her private server.”
BTW, I don’t think her so-called ‘personal’ emails have been destroyed. She’s got a copy of them somewhere. Actually, the Colorado company that handled her email accounts (Platte River) may have copies of her personal emails .... got a visit from the FBI last week.
I thought the sucker was seized, not handed over.
Exactly.
