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.
Hillaryous. More kabuki theater from the UNIPARTY CRIME SYNDICATE.
Not ONE person will raise any indictment against her....they are AFRAID of Obama AND the Clintons!
Meanwhile, the Democrats want to put her in the White House, where the Kenyan criminal lives.
IF, that ever happens I will walk thru a tick and chigger infested forest....naked.
Or the Chargers.
Hillary could also stand on her head in the corner and spit quarters all day, but that ain’t gonna happen either.
She’s the darling of the democrats; bitter enemies of the rule of law and the architects of the two most corrupt regimes in American history. She’s not going to jail.
I believe that whole heartedly. To the extent that if and when we have a R President, he too will be terrified to prosecute her, if BO doesn’t.
Doubtful. She’s untouchable. Biden hasn’t declared which means she’s safe so far.
There wouldn’t be enough Popcorn in the WORLD if that would happen!!!
The only way it could happen is under Trump or Cruz. It won’t happen under Obama of course. If Hillary is president she will of course be immune to everything for the rest of her ugly miserable life.
If by some chance Water Boy or one of the other Republican Wonder Wusses get elected, they will bend over backwards to make life pleasant for all demonrats everywhere, regardless of crimes committed. And I hate to say it but I don’t see Carson outside this category on this issue. (Hate to say it because I do like him.)
Only Trump or Cruz will allow the Justice Department to go after these miserable traitors.
Plus she has already apologized.
She is absolved.
The pubbies should be screaming from the rooftops in the black communities ALL the criminal acts SHE gets away with, they would surely end up in jail for!!!!!
It is so sad our TRULY corrupt our government has become!!!! Freedom of the press has become such a JOKE!!!!
Our= how
Could be, would be, should be.....
Won’t happen. The RATS will protect each other to the bitter end, even if it means selling the country down the river. Only agency that could save the country is the military, but that will never happen.

Yeah, I remember the Whitewater days. Bill and Hillary each had, I forget, but a goodly number of years of indictable offenses. Nothing ever stuck for them though. All their cohorts did time as you listed, but somehow the Clintons escaped. One of many times. . . They are so due. .
