As the investigation into the gross negligence of Hillary Clintons 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 its 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. Obamas 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 Obamas lighter total of presidential pardons, he has used executive orders 221 times. In light of Obamas supposed hesitancy to use presidential pardon, it seems likely that Obama will not bail her out with his pen this time.
They are soooo due!!! Where the hell is KARMA!!!

And hell could freeze over too. Of the two, if I were betting, I would bet on hell freezing over.
Yep. If Trump or Cruz are elected, she will be indicted. Imagine our country having a Justice Dept. again!
Well for cryin’ out loud, somebody please post a picture of her being sprinkled with holy water. That will complete the absolution. LOL! (I’m pretty sure I’m asking for it here.)
But, but, she only wiped the server with a cloth...
And...and... she said she was sowwwwweeeeeeee....
LOL! Somebody needs to wipe her with a cloth. But the stench will remain. Febreeze? Meh!
Now, when Billy was being impeached - correct me if I am wrong- didn’t he make a comment that he wasn’t going to be removed from office before anything really began? As in, the fix was already in for him and he had been given the word?
Because Obama would prefer Biden or Sanders replace him?
Your comment reminds me after Clinton’s Lewinsky testimony in which we were all told that he lost his cool during questioning, and it was all false, planted by the Clinton’s to make the story sound conspiratorial.
Could this Hillary story be the same ploy? Anonymous FBI agent says she’s going to be prosecuted. More conservative conspiracies. I can hear it now...
My thoughts on that are go for it. Trump should beat him badly.
“Clearly the Clintons are the poster children for white privilege.”
exactly! except for the fact that Bill was the first “black” president. HRC will never pay for what she has caused to happen. pray for America that its people won’t be stupid enough to elect her. [one can fantasize, can’t one?]
If she goes to jail, I will eat my hat.
I would be satisfied if she was found guilty and confined to her million dollar + mansion for the rest of her life and forbidden to speak to the public.
