Everybody keeps talking about Trump “doubling down” and I’d say he’s far exceeded a simple double-down to now “let it ride.” He’s not pulled anything off the table and everybody in the political world is a potential target for his commentary.
lets not forget the perverted Bill Clinton who also sees the emails. Do we see a pattern of deviant behavior here.
Republican Party elitists should be thrilled. For years, they've been whining that the problem is uninformed voters. Well, now everyone's getting informed. And they seem to be liking the informer!
The question is what did Abedin and Weiner do with the classified info they had easy access to----info that was a valuable commodity around the world.
It is possible that Abedin and Weiner committed federal offenses, including, but not limited, to:
<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);
<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),
<><> 18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).
<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.
Possibly full investigations crentering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.
Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.
===============================================
Taxpayers demand investigation by the following agencies commence at once:
<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section
<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.
The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized to determine the scope and dimension of Abedin and Weiner's financial transactions and whether they deposited checks that appear to be payments from outside sources.....perhaps from foreign governments.
