Clinton-Appointed Judge Dismisses RICO Case Against Clintons
Freedom Watch ^ | 1/20/2016 | Freedom Watch

Posted on 01/20/2016 6:12:26 AM PST by Bloody Sam Roberts

Today, as predicted by many in the media who have been following this case, Klayman v. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation (15-cv-80388 S.D. Fla), a federal judge appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton, dismissed a lawsuit, filed under the Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") and other causes of action, which was based on the Clintons' acceptance of money from foreign and other donors in exchange for favors while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. In addition to filing suit, Larry Klayman asked the judge, Donald M. Middlebrooks, to take into custody Hillary Clinton's private email server and the thumb drive containing classified information - still in possession of her attorney, David Kendall. The predicate acts of RICO alleged in the complaint hinged on the obstruction of justice in defendants having secreted or destroyed emails evidencing their crimes, most notably the sale of waivers to do business with Iran and the release of classified information about U.S.-Israeli war plans should the nuclear facilities of this terrorist state have to be removed militarily.

Would you expect anything different with politically appointed judges with lifetime tenure?

Wouldn’t this be the perfect situation for a judge to recuse himself? Being asked to decide guilt/innocence of the people who appointed him to a coveted lifetime position?

Hah!

Like I’ve said for many years... the Clintons aren’t subject to the same laws as are the rest of us. It’s an unfortunate and maddening flaw in our legal system, but it is most certainly the case.

Anyone who thinks Hillary will face indictment over emails, Benghazi or the Clinton Foundation is smoking some very powerful crack. There are far too many powerful forces at work to keep her out of trouble. It simply isn’t going to happen... ever.

Ya know, with most people just the assumption of the kind of impropriety of a RICO charge may very well ruin a lot of people, but it just seems to be no more than a speed bump in the road for these people....amazing.

Has Larry Klayman ever won a case? Always the same with that guy. Raise money and get dismissed.

Klayman can refile the suit and take a chance on getting a different judge. But it depends on how the case was dismissed...with or without prejudice. Either way, no suit will be allowed to proceed before the election. ANY election.

I give Klayman a lot of credit in uncovering the Clinton email server. That was HIM.

I don’t think the Clintons have that sort of raw power anymore. But, I can see how that list would give one pause.

When you make a Faustian bargain, you’d better think twice before you welsh.

No, that was Judicial Watch, that Klayman used to head up. When he was there they never won anything. They've been very productive since he moved on.
