The word inside the beltway is that a longtime adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton is urging her to hire outside legal counsel and look into cutting a deal with the Feds over the e-Mail scandal currently dogging her presidential campaign, it was reported Tuesday.
According to the report Mrs. Clinton was told she needs to act quickly because, contrary to reports that the FBI probe into her use of a private e-Mail server may drag on for months, the investigation may actually wrap up by year’s end.
The NY-T’s is reporting that Mrs. Clinton received Top-Secret e-Mails on her unsecured, privately maintained server she used as Secretary of State. She has repeatedly said she did not send or receive classified material, though she later amended that material that was marked Classified. Tuesday she said that she was “sorry.”
“Hillary needs counsel to let Congress, the Justice Department, the FBI, and all the authorities involved know that she’s taking this very seriously,” the adviser said “And she needs to get some discovery as to where the investigation is going so that she can make plans how to deal with it.”
Joking about her e-Mail problem and acting as though it is a conspiracy by her political enemies is hurting her with the Federal prosecutors, the adviser said.
The adviser said he pointed out that former CIA directors David Petraeus and John Deutch each avoided criminal charges by pleading guilty to a Misdemeanor for mishandling classified material. But Mrs. Clinton responded that neither of them was running for President.
She fears an admission of guilt would end her chances of being elected. Which it is likely to do, many do not like her already, but cotton to her perceived power.
The adviser told Mrs. Clinton it was a chance she had to take because Federal investigators smell “Blood in the Water,” according to reports.
Bryan Pagliano, a State Department IT professional hired privately by Mrs. Clinton to set up her private e-Mail server, has invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify before Congress, and Mr. Pagliano could end up being the Key to forcing Mrs. Clinton to make a plea deal.
Mr. Pagliano is not a member of the Clinton Inner Circle and will not be as willing to “Fall on the Sword” for her as someone such as her aides Cheryl Mills or Huma Abedin.
People close to the investigation expects Mrs. Clinton to make a plea deal and quit the race, leaving space for Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering a run.
Joe Biden has said he is not sure he has the emotional energy to run following the death in May of his son, Beau. US President Barack Hussein Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett is putting Mr. Biden in touch with psychotherapists in an effort to get him in the mental space to run.
Suddenly there is a huge outpouring for Mr. Biden, while HRC goes in the tank over the e-Mail scandal.
Stay tuned…
Someone leaked info to the NYT
Hillary is in BIG TROUBLE
This is exactly correct in the Private Sector.
I used to work for Intel and it was impossible to do what Hillary setup.
It WAS possible to take photos of screen shots which meant smart phones were a constant problem.
The core problem is the State Dept who has had lax security back all the way to FDR.
They almost act like a Shadow Gov with their own rules and goals.
I have family members in the State Dept and they are all 100% Hillary supporters.
That has been Obama's plan all along IMO. The ONLY reason a Democrat has been investigated since January 2009 is because Obama wanted them investigated.
Thanks
That’s the info I was looking for
Benghazi???
I think there will be an indictment prior to election day. Biden will get in soon and that will confirm the upcoming indictment.
So you’re saying that the Obama-Jarrett influence can’t get Hillary convicted at some level, high or low, but mostly will be satisfied with “mayhem” for Hillary?
I think what you’re saying means that mayhem may be well enough to serve the purpose of the Obama team, in that defaming Hillary is good enough, because the Democrats will float over to the Obama team for their guidance and direction.
I should think they would want Hillary and Bill gone entirely, as in forced to withdraw from running, and as in a conviction of some sort. It would take a conviction to pry her cold fingers from accessing the White House, would it not?
This whole email deal confirms what I have been thinking, namely that Obama and his team are the ones orchestrating the release of information. It should be interesting to see how it all works out but it sure looks to me like Hillary’s goose may be cooked for this election. If she does not make it this time, I do not see her running again at age 70+ next time.
