As the investigation into the “gross negligence” of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material continues, one anonymous FBI agent says she could be facing 10 years in jail under the Espionage Act.
The Act, according to the FBI agent, requires one who discovers the negligence to inform superiors. In the case of the alleged mishandling of classified documents and emails, Clinton would have needed to inform her only superior, the president, and he stated last week that he was not informed.
According to the Daily Mail, “Obama said flatly during a ‘60 Minutes‘ interview on Sunday that ‘No,’ he did not know Clinton sidestepped security protocols with her a home-brew email setup while she was his secretary of state.” Under conditions of anonymity, the FBI agent stated, “If investigators conclude that the former secretary [Clinton] was criminally careless in how she approached the security of the sensitive documents in her possession, then this part of the law could be used to prosecute her.”
According to the FBI agent, the investigation being conducted by the bureau centers on whether or not she violated the laws within the Espionage Act, specifically, “18 U.S. Code § 793 – Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information.” The law applies to “any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense’ – even if it’s not considered classified.”
If Clinton knew that she was in violation of the Espionage Act, she was to have notified Obama immediately; and according to Obama, she did not inform the president.
Of course, Obama could use his presidential pardon to keep the former First Lady out of jail, but Obama has historically not used his presidential pardon to relieve politicians of alleged wrongdoing. Obama’s use of the presidential pardon pales in comparison to his use of executive orders. In fact, according to The Nation, “While in the White House, Bill Clinton pardoned well over 100 people. So did President Bush. To date, Obama has pardoned less than two dozen and commuted even fewer sentences.”
In contrast to Obama’s lighter total of presidential pardons, he has used executive orders 221 times. In light of Obama’s supposed hesitancy to use presidential pardon, it seems likely that Obama will not bail her out with his pen this time.
On the contrary. Very likely Bubba is telling her step by step how to beat the rap. And it doesn't matter that Hillary isn't trusted; she's adored.
Clearly the Clintons are the poster children for white privilege.
When Donkeys fly out of the monkeys butts that fly out my butt..................
Yes, and if the ice in the Arctic continues to melt the beast from 20,000 fathoms will be released and wreck havoc on the city of New York.
For common folk, yes... but the Clintons are immune.
Obama will pardon her if she does not win the election.
...and will be pardoned.
Her Royal Hipness is not going to jail. She helped her boss get away with treason in Benhgazi, and he will squash any potential prosecution.
The ruling elite makes the laws, but is not held to them.
I’ll believe it when I see it.

I was going to suggest perhaps a movie could be made of this whole saga, but Hollywould's lackeys would ensure Hillary would be a majestic, heroic figure under attack by drooling, snarling Republican orcs.
If Joe Biden jumps in the race, Obama will drive the wooden stake into the Hillary vampire. If Biden stays out of the race, Obama will quash the investigation.
Right now there is a fight over control of the Democrat Party between the Clinton machine and the Obama machine.
Unfortunately the fact that she is not already under arrest/in the slammer, says she may well walk..until a new President is sworn in.
But when it comes to the debates....Trump will club her, Obummer and all the Dems mercilessly as to why she ain’t etc.
There’s a better chance of the Lions winning the Super Bowl, than this happening.
Nah, Hillary won’t go to jail. She’s an elite. They can pretty well do as they please.
I am a fire truck!
Hillary! to jail for ten years?
Bwahahahahha, bwhahahahahhahahahahahahahahah.....
Don’t they know Progressives are above the law?
IMHO
Obama will pardon her if she steps aside.
