Clinton Caught Obstructing Congressional Investigation Into Private Server
Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 20, 2016 | Adam Kredo

The congressional leader of a key House committee governing the use of technology announced on Thursday that Congress is taking unprecedented action to hold in contempt a computer company that supplied former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with her private email server, which was since found to contain classified information in violation of federal protocol.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas), chair of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, informed reporters that he is moving forward with procedures to hold in contempt Platte River Networks, a security firm that helped maintain Clinton’s private servers.

Smith announced that he is in possession of emails that show Clinton’s lawyer instructed companies involved with the server to thwart an official investigation by Congress.

Platte River has “obstructed” investigations by Congress and failed to produce critical documents about the server’s security vulnerabilities, according to Smith, who accused the firm of stonewalling Congress for months.

And he will promptly DESTROY them so that the Ruling Class will not be bothered by this nonsense. It is their Right to Rule over the People of the US as they see fit.

Clinton Caught Obstructing Congressional Investigation Into Private Server

It sounds serious, but in America these days, it means nothing. A a head of our massive government and bureaucracy, and a leading member of our progressive, crony-capitalist elite won't be touched.

Contempt of congress does not mean anything for the elites. Do they actually take any real action against the smaller people?

“If(contempt) approved, the case would be passed on to the U.S. attorney general, who would be tasked with compelling the company to provide the documents in question.”

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Now that is some funny stuff right there. Congress has no power to do anything about it. Don’t worry we know Lynch will get right on it.
