If they do not, the FBI will have the credibility of Dan Rather.
Darrell Issa is living in the 18th century.
She was just testing the system to expose its flaws. Good Job H->!
Issa, the king of kabuki theater, speaks.
May this travel from Issa’s lips to God’s ears... :^)
[ Tom DeLay’s claim last week that the FBI is “ready to indict.” ]
O.K.
The FBI used to be the best of the best - integrity by the ton.
Hope they’re still there.
The FBI only investigates. The FBI can recommend an indictment. Only the DOJ can indict. This is why the meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton is so important. If she says no then no more action will be taken against Hillary Clinton. The investigation stops there.
Well, Sandy Berger stole documents and he didn’t get punished.
Let’s say, that to protect the party, Obama, the sodomite in chief, orders the fbi to take clinton, both of them, out.
First he begs for gun control, then he blames me, then he puts who in as the candidate of the democrat:
Kerry?
Biden?
Ryan?
Log Cabin Mittens, I love Paul, Romney?
or himself?
LOL!
I’m still waiting for Issa to find is backside.
“...Let’s not forget when she left government, she didn’t leave a copy. She took it all. So, it’s taking and holding classified documents.”
He’s right on that. She took classified government documents with her when she left government service, and that’s a major contributing factor to any charges against her. What about the FBI files taken when the Clinton’s were Co-presidents in the 1990’s? Those too were government files. What happened to them?
The FBI can’t indict anybody. Only the Justice Department can choose to indict someone by presenting a case to a grand jury.
ISAA Blow it out your ass. YOU could have stopped all this a long time ago, but you are Their Partner in Crime so you SOLD OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. How many pieces of Silver did you get by the way? Funny thing is YOU STILL have the Authority to put an END to ALL THE CHARADES. PUT THEM IN PRISON YOURSELF YA BIG WUSS. FORCE the FBI to RELEASE the ENTIRE INVESTIGATION, Including what they say is CLASSIFIED but REFUSE TO PROSECUTE OVER!
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Holy Cow batman. She took possession of classified material for which there are no copies ? Have we raided her house to look for those documents yet ? At least when she stole the FBI files there were backups. Of course we were just assuming there were backups.
It would take a prosecutor with a big pair- and is smart enough to withstand the political nonsense- to win in front of a mostly black DC jury.
Issa is right BUT we are dealing with the thug enterprise that is the Democrat party which DOES NOT EVER RECOGNIZE ANY LAW OR RULE THAT INCONVENIENCES THEM. They are Hitler they are Stalin et al, they CANNOT admit culpability. Somehow, in their minds that would render everything they believe to be wrong. ONLY the the other can be wrong never themselves. Thats why there will be bloodshed; because they’re stupid crazy. Even if Trump wins.
The FBI must indict. Bulls...! The FBI doesn’t indict anyone. They recommend indictment. It is up to the AG to indict. The AG doesn’t have to indict anyone for anything, doesn’t have to call for a grand jury, doesn’t have to file an information. The AG can ignore open mass murder if the AG so chooses.
For reference, FBI cannot indict. FBI can only refer charges.
I believe they will refer charges, else, they lose credibility for a generation.
