Justice Department rules Hillary Clinton followed law in deleting emails

The Obama administration told a federal court Wednesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was within her legal rights to use of her own email account, to take the messages with her when she left office and to be the one deciding which of those messages are government records that should be returned.

In the most complete legal defense of Mrs. Clinton, Justice Department lawyers insisted they not only have no obligation, but no power, to go back and demand the former top diplomat turn over any documents she hasn’t already given — and neither, they said, can the court order that.

The defense came as part of a legal filing telling a judge why the administration shouldn’t be required to order Mrs. Clinton and her top aides to preserve all of their emails.

The coup is complete and we missed it. There is now one law for the FedMob and one for the peons.

Gotta admit, this is shocking even to a person who knew Obama was capable of this.

Some of the most top secret information we have, was located on her server.

Hey, no problem...

This White House is out of Control and our Senate and House leaders are missing in action.

David Petraeus is not part of the exclusive clique that can afford to ignore the law that applies to the “99%”.

Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, has been “following” the law in accordance to the ruling by the Department of Justice (or “Just-Us”).

Wotta surprise.

It’s unclear whether Mrs. Clinton’s review process, which she said involved her lawyers making determinations, qualifies.

Her lawyers reviewed her emails? I wonder if they held sufficient clearance to view the potentially secret correspondence.

You did not think that the “Justice Department” would come out and say she violated the law, did you? Let a Republican do the same thing and see what happens. But, that is what the majority that voted said, via their votes, they wanted.

WAIT! WAIT!

This is a legal assertion by the JD. This goes before a judge who may very well strike it down and jail the @$$*$ (JD attorneys) who asserted it. Reportedly.

I guess we will see if the court agrees with this absurd assertion.

Let’s see the next ruling. The Justice Dept may say she had a right to have the server. That’s fine. Have they addressed the top secret emails and how those violated the law?

You do not want to do that to the grave of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless.

Venomous serpents will strike at your vulnerable privates if such an act is attempted.

I did have a slight tinge of hope that even the 0bama Regime were tired of the Clintons too.

Silly me.

Well I’m satisfied, she did nothing wrong! It was just a vast right-wing conspiracy that wants to keep from her rightful crown. We can now get back to why Hillary is the most amazing awesome woman in the history of the universe and shy we are sooooo fortunate to have her run for monarch and the occupant of the imperial throne.
