An ominous precedent is lurking over Hillary Clinton's email scandal
Business Insider ^ | Aug. 25, 2015 | MARC A. THIESSEN

Hillary Clinton likes to point out that she is not the first senior national security official to conduct official business on a home computer system.

She's right about that, but the precedent should not give the Democratic presidential front-runner much comfort.

Former CIA director John Deutch was also found to have stored classified documents — including top-secret intelligence — on computers in his homes in Bethesda and Belmont, Massachusetts, leading to an investigation by the CIA inspector general and a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.

Deutch was stripped of his security clearance and ended up reaching a plea agreement admitting to his crimes — but was saved by a last-minute pardon from none other than ... President Bill Clinton.

The Post reported that on January 19, 2001, Deutch reached a plea bargain agreement acknowledging guilt, “but too late to file it in court that day.” President Clinton intervened, pardoning Deutch a day later in his final hours in office.

Why? She's not going to pay a penalty for her misdeeds.

So that’s the “card” Hill is holding in her back pocket?

From the Washington Post.

The Democrats must be in SERIOUS trouble.

Do you hear anything from Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi about this?

It’s really bad if they aren’t out there screaming about this.

I think Caliph Baraq could be persuaded to pardon Hillary with a $100 million transfer from the Clinton Global Initiative to the Baraq Obama Foundation....

SHUT THE UNITED STATES DOWN ... LOCK ALL THE DOORS AND DEPLOY EVERY AVAILABLE MILITARY TO OUR BORDERS

FIRE EVERY FRIKKIN' POLITICIAN, IMPRISON THE ONES WE KNOW ARE GUILTY AND START FROM SCRATCH


WE COULD SHUT THE US DOWN IN ABOUT A WEEK MAX

EMPTYING CONGRESS AND THE SENATE IS A SIMPLE MATTER OF LOCKING THE DOORS .... THEY REALLY ARE INCAPABLE OF OPERATING INDIVIDUALLY AND WITHOUT STRUCTURE

ELECT TRUMP NOW ON A TEMPORARY BASIS BUT HE HAS FULL POWER OF THE OFFICE ... HE'LL STILL NEED TO BE ELECTED IN 2016 (OR WHOEVER)


I AM SO SICK OF POLITICAL MACHINERY


LET'S DO WHAT WE KNOW WORKS ... THROW THE FIRST PUNCH AND GET THE FIGHT ON !

Speculation: Obama and company threaten to prosecute unless she steps down and let Uncle Joe Biden run. But in return Obama offers her a pardon.

Bill put up a fight

But as a token of agreement, the muslim offered bill an autographed ball

But the muslim changed his mind, like a good muslim practicin' taquia and gave it to his muslim bud instead

And prepped for an evening of fun

I saw a Tweet from some NBA guy who said playing golf with Baraq was no fun because there were 50 SecServ guys on every hole.

She’s NOT right about that... no one else is doing this in the way she did... well, some guy her husband granted a pardon to did this... but that’s it.

We should not push stories that feed democrat talking point lies.

RE: Your first photo.

When I first saw it, I immediately wondered how many of the respective SS cadres were about to draw down on the others' charge.

Who ever thought that Hillary would take the fall for the Benghazi operation that the entire congressional leadership knew about as well as Obama,the running of guns From Libya to Syrian rebel terrorists to oust Assad.

I think one of O’s goals was to “get” Hillary. Makes room for four years of Biden/Warren, then four years of Warren.

Well, if Secret Service agents are assigned to current AND past Presidents, wouldn't that mean there'd be a firefight between the two groups?
