Is Bill Clinton in the FBI crosshairs too? -- Hillary may have implicated her husband

[Zakeet]

In the unfolding political and legal drama surrounding Hillary Clinton and her private server, one name has been conspicuously missing.

Bill Clinton.

There has been scant mention of the former president's possible role and potential exposure in the server/classified material controversy, which now represents an existential threat to Mrs. Clinton's presidential ambitions. But perhaps his role may be more central that we've been led to believe.

Rather than simply focusing on Mrs. Clinton's actions as secretary of state, the FBI investigation may be proceeding along two tracks: his and hers. So far, two areas of focus have been mentioned.

One is the possible abuse of highly sensitive information by Mrs. Clinton through her use of a private, unsecured server. The other involves possible violations of public corruption law: whether she and Mr. Clinton used her position as secretary of state to further the interests of the Clinton Foundation. When these two apparently separate tracks are looked at conjointly, two major questions arise concerning Mr. Clinton.

She want to now say that her 24 top secret emails and 1400 classifieds are ok because Collin Powell had “two”. I say prosecute him too if its not too late. IS SHE ABOVE THE LAW?? Nixon wasn’t—we remember.

Per Catherine Herridge, the FBI did recover those 30K emails Hilly tried to wipe ... you know, the yoga & Chelsea’s wedding emails. I suspect this is when the 2nd front of the investigation into the pay for play scheme was begun ... when the FBI kicked in the door to the Clinton Foundation with those emails that Hilly planned to never see the light of day. Think Bill’s been looking pretty sickly lately? Knowing the FBI is privy to your criminal doings & slush fund details will do that to ‘ya.

Religion has nothing to do with it. Trump has always gone for the jugular in business dealings. He will do no less with the Clintons. It’s to his advantage to turn up the spotlight of opprobrium on the Clintons. The Democrat vultures including Lieden, Liawatha and even Bloomberg will go running to file their papers for the race.

At that point the race is the Republicans’ to lose.

If either Hillary or Bill think they have a hole card against Obama, Bill will die of a heart attack and Hillary will die from a stroke. Sometimes bad things do happen to bad people.

Maybe you should read more about Trump than just what the media tells you.

“No Clinton will be charged with anything.”

That is what I keep trying to tell people. Someone on another thread thought getting Cruz elected would bust the Clintons.

I thought W was going to eradicate democrat corruption when I was politically naive back in the 90s.

[plain talk]

She want to now say that her 24 top secret emails and 1400 classifieds are ok because Collin Powell had “two”. I say prosecute him too if its not too late. IS SHE ABOVE THE LAW?? Nixon wasn’t—we remember.

There is no law against getting high speaking fees. If one can prove bribery than go for it but that will take some hard evidence and not just existence of high speaking fees.

Now what she did with her email is illegal in and of itself. Who knows what she covered up using private email. What Powell did is irrelevant. She is the one that got caught. If some worry about fairness then prosecute Powell as well and lock them up together.

[TalBlack]

Investigation of the Clintons. Yawn. I’m not holding my breath. Yawn.

[meatloaf]

I’m not sold on Trump. All I want to see out of him is his megaphone mouth blasting the Clintons’ criminality. Kapeesh?

[Know et al]

It would probably be considered cruel and unusual punishment to confine them in the same cell ...

I believe Bubba would opt for lethal injection.

[DrDude]

Good posts Liz. The Clinton Foundation and its subsidaries have full access to SOS computers. They may not have shared emails but they shared information. Don’t forget Sid B. sent her emails while a higly paid employee of the Clinton Crime Foundation.

[Jim Noble]

You don’t think she thought the “server” up on her own, do you?

Back to motive. It’s all about Bill and his money laundering tax evasion bribery scheme called the “Clinton Foundation”.

Hillary is too dumb to come up with this scheme.

Anyone out there that thinks one or more Clintons will be indicted by the most corrupt DOJ in our history; there is a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. The Clintons probably have more on Obama than he has on them.

Hillary Aide Shared Classified Information With Clinton Foundation, Email Shows; Cheryl Mills sent information marked confidential to Clinton Foundation in 2012 / BY Alana Goodman September 28, 2015

A member of Hillary Clinton/s staff at the Department of State emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.

The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes “foreign government information” that has been classified as “Confidential” by the State Department.

Although the information was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because “foreign government information” is considered classified from inception.

The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.

The email, which discussed the relationship between the governments in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson, the State Department’s assistant secretary for African affairs, who sent it to Mills’ State Department email address.

Mills later forwarded the full message to Desai along with “talking points for Presient [sic] Clinton” shortly before Bill Clinton was scheduled to visit the region.

About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month. Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it “concerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.”

The State Department added that the “disclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.”

The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desai—a non-government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007—would have been authorized to view “Confidential” information.

NOTE: Sub Sahara Muslim African immigrants are streaming in to the US at an unprecedented rate, all subsidized by struggling taxpayers. What do Obama and Hillary know about this?

“It’s interesting you would insult Christians to praise Trump.”

I’m no Trump fan, but simply using the word “crucify” is not an insult to Christians.

A FR realtime report concerned a radio talk show discussing the Russians learning about Monica Lewinsky before the US media started reporting on it. The Ruskis asked for a few billion dollars loan. The Sec Of Treasury at the time canceled it because he said it looked fraudulent and he thought the money would disappear.

Then-pres Clinton overrode the objection and sure enough, the money disappeared.

JUST WONDERING How much blackmail-able stuff was on Hillary/s servers that the Russians (and others) are preparing to blackmail the US over....

......plus more offshore accounts for the Clintons.

============================================

POINTS TO PONDER The high costs of getting into office is considered an investment by these con artist pols....with unlimited payback that can indirectly offset those costs. People of modest means holding elected office get very rich, far beyond what their government salaries would allow.

HOW/D THE POLS DO THAT? When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America.

The labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex financial architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to get rich and avoid scrutiny.

===============================================

Every aspect of the Bill Clinton presidency must be examined for wrongdoing. Recent news reports say the notoriously greedy Clintons used their tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a Romney-like money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Columbia.

Why Columbia?

WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Columbia...... and up to five hundred military personnel to train local forces. An additional three hundred civilian personnel were allowed to assist in the eradication of coca.

The Clinton deal was an addition to $330 million of previously approved US aid to Colombia. $818 million was earmarked for 2000, with $256 million for 2001.

The Clinton-era appropriations for his Columbia Plan made Colombia the third largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States at the time.

--SNIP--

As of 2008, the U.S. has provided nearly $1.3 billion to Colombia through Clinton Plan Colombia nonmilitary aid programs:

<><> Alternative Development (2000-2008 cost: $500 million)

<><> Internally Displaced Persons (2000-2008 cost: $247 million)

<><> Demobilization and Reintegration (2000-2008 cost: $44 million)

<><> Democracy and Human Rights (2000-2008 cost: $158 million)

<><> Promote the Rule of Law (2000-2008 cost: $238 million)

UT OH---Obama/s now requesting billions for Columbia---to (cough) curb the drug trade.

Hmmmm. Is it a stretch to think that Chelsea is being looked at too? My memory is that she had some position in the Foundation.

[meatloaf]

I’m comfortable with leaving it up to the IRS once the FBI publicizes the massive tax fraud.

[fella]

All we have to do to see what is going on is to read a short book on New York values titled “Plunkett of Tammany Hall. This is just a minor case of what he would call “good graft”.

[WENDLE]

Terriffic. I have not read that but just put it on my long list.
