Clinton: Americans don't jail our political opponents
Reuters via Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/23/2016

Posted on 10/23/2016 8:16:16 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton campaigned with her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, in Pittsburgh on Saturday (October 22), the first time the two have campaigned together in weeks.

Clinton took aim at Trump's threat to put her in jail if he's elected saying, "We don't do that in America. We actually have laws, and courts and an independent judiciary."

“We don’t do that in America. We actually have laws, and courts and an independent judiciary.”


Hillary is full of it. If anything happens to her legally, it would be through that system of laws and courts and independent judiciary. Donald Trump is not going to summarily imprison her. If anything happens, it would be just as she describes, through a process, through our system.

She’s full of it because she wants to make it sound like she would be a political prisoner. But she’s full of it and just wanting to make her half assed political statement out of this.

If her poll numbers were correct she would have never said this.

this shows she knows there’s a pretty good chance she’ll lose.

Does she even understand what she’s doing. There’s so much shuck and jive there, that I would despair of meeting anything like a real Hillary. Like C. S. Lewis put it, “only the grumble going on and on like a machine.”

RE: RussiaGate

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission & $500,000 speaking fee (US uranium to Russia)

qura.com ^ | July 27, 2016 | Sierra Spaulding

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia? You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."

“Said the woman that was dismissed from the Watergate committee because she was trying to violate Nixon civil rights”

That and she committed a crime by removing legal files and hiding evidence.

Let s not forget what Hilary Clinton tried to do to the White House Travel Office staff. She fabricated false felony charges against them. Then, she lied under oath during depositions.

...and they weren't even political opponents. They were just people who happened to be in the way of a Hillary pay back plan.

I would die happy if I could see that woman imprisoned. How can such evil and corruption continue for so long? This is bizarre beyond words.

More to the point, what have we become when we FAIL to prosecute crimes just because they were committed by politicians?

NO, not jail...

“Can’t we just drone this guy?” Clinton openly inquired, offering a simple remedy to silence Assange and smother Wikileaks via a planned military drone strike, according to State Department sources.

Correct, you will probably be in jail for being a criminal, not for being Trump's policictcal opponent.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ..."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/07/politics/who-is-james-comey-fbi-director-things-to-know/index.html
__________________________________

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

White House FBI files controversy

The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.

Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position.

Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.”

"Gary Aldrich was an FBI agent closing out his career
with a stint at the White House. What should have been
a peaceful exit left him shaken. Unlimited Access is Aldrich's
electrifying expose of a presidential administration with a great
deal to hide--and willing to put America at risk to keep it hidden."
