Gowdy: Hillary Clinton Should Be Treated As David Petreaus Was, Equal Under The Law
Townhall.com ^ | August 12, 2015 | Katie Pavlich

As you've probably read by now, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had at least two top-secret, classified information emails stored on her private server. The FBI is currently conducting a criminal investigation and her server has been turned over.

The Clintons have always been known as the teflon couple, somehow capable of dodging any scandal that comes their way. But this time, things could be different.

As you'll recall, General David Petraeus was charged, prosecuted of convicted of improperly storing classified information in his home. The information Petraeus had was categorized at the lowest level of the classified tier. The information found on Clinton's server by the Inspector General is classified as top secret, the second to highest level.

So the question is now, will Hillary Clinton be treated equally under the law? Or will she get a free pass? Chairman of the House Benghazi Select Committee and former prosecutor Trey Gowdy believes in the former.

"The lady out in front of the Department of Justice wears a blindfold and holds a set of scales and she does so that she treats everybody the same whether it's me or you, whether it's General Petreaus, whether it's a cabinet level official. I was not part of the prosecution team or the defense team for David Petreaus, I don't know all of the facts. I know this, the same rule ought to apply people irrespective of their station in life," Gowdy said during an interview with Fox News Wednesday. "So, I'm going to have to count on the Bureau [FBI] and [Director] Jim Comey has a reputation for even handedness and fairness. The same folks who investigated and prosecuted General Petreaus are looking into the current allegations with respect to classified information and if the facts are the same then I expect the result to be the same."

We'll see if Lady Justice is really blind.

With hillary and Jeb, it’s not a campaign game of wanting an easy-to-beat opponent. It’s about getting them out of the primaries ASAP. It’s not about WINNING, it’s about saving the US from these creeps.

“Joe Biden is waiting in the wings, as soon as he gets finished doing laps in the pool”

And most importantly don’t forget, he likes to swim naked.

It isn’t the end of Hillary—but, its the beginning of the end. She will drop out before the vote is taken.

Why else would it need to be mentioned. He can stay in the shallow end because his rudder doesn’t go too deep.

That screaming old democrat scumbag Howard Dean was on Morning Joe today - and he was totally happy the ‘Department of Justice’ had taken possession... The feeling I got was the DOJ would very carefully make sure all the emails were destroyed.

The FBI’s no better... they’re Obama’s Enforcement Team... the folks that go after cops, traditional Americans and anyone on Lois Lerner’s list...

At this point what difference does it make? :)

If those two that were identified were the only ones out of 35,000 or all 35k were T/S it makes no difference.

She violated Federal Law, State Department Policy and exposed Assets to the Enemy. Most likely created the intel needed to take out Ambassador Stevens.

Call it what it is, TREASON!

Biden is a pervert. There are other girls and women he’s fondled on camera even. What about that war on women?

Yeah and that was a 13 year old girl Biden was molesting on camera. The media ignores that war on women though.

He's molested many others

Her is Biden molesting another under aged girl in public in front of cameras:

The press doesn’t care if Hillary’s a traitor - they care if they can find a Republican jaywalking or a Trump calling Rosie O’Donnell a pig.

For the press the country being compromised and/or a woman like Rosie being ‘dissed’ are equivalent.
