Hillary's email scandal now potentially a matter of high treason

Memories of the Walker family spy ring and British double agent Kim Philby could be resurrected if a new angle of the FBI investigation works toward its logical conclusion. Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports that the FBI is going directly to the intelligence agencies that generated the assessments to determine the original classification level.

The investigators "will go directly to depose specific individuals in agencies who generated the highly classified materials."

This is the prudent and smart thing to do in order to get specifics on the classification authority and to compare original documents with those that were stripped of classification markings. But there is potentially something deeper and more sinister going on.

This means shrillary didn’t originate the classification:

“...Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports that the FBI is going directly to the intelligence agencies that generated the assessments to determine the original classification level. ...”

IMHO Shrillary is a traitor.

No, she just had to push it and run for the presidency

I made this point to my wife the other day - had Hillary just walked away a few years ago, she and Bill would have been off, scot free. I believe she assumed that after the Dem takeover of the federal govt from 06 to 08, she had free reign to be as corrupt as she felt she needed to be to take over DC herself in 2016. We conservatives may cry about nothing happening after mid-term wins in 2010 and 2014, but trust me, they were huge.

[Palio di Siena]

just a hypothetical question.
in the extremely unlikely event that she is indicted and taken into custody, what happens to her secret service detail? do they guard her in jail?

[I want the USA back]

She committed a crime but will never be prosecuted by our corrupt “justice” department.

[CodeToad]

““High treason” has a specific meaning, which does not exist in the US, either under the Constitution or in our laws.”

If the phrase doesn’t exist anywhere then how can it have a specific meaning?

[pgkdan]

Another possibility is that we have a criminally negligent, alcoholic Secretary of State being unwittingly manipulated by foreign intelligence operatives.

That doesn't matter dammit! She has a vagina so she deserves to be President!

[gloryblaze]

OMG, now that right there is a good question.

[Savage Beast]

I have a question:

During the Clinton Administration, Chinese agents were said to have infiltrated Los Alamos or some other top secret military research facility and made off with military secrets. If true, why was this not as severe a breech of national security and treasonous negligent (at best) as Hillary's emails?

[Savage Beast]

You’re right. The American people have had an increasing tolerance for dishonesty and corruption at all levels of government and in the press. During the last few years it has become a tolerance of criminal activity. The outrage has remained largely unexpressed, but it has been smoldering in honest people. Donald Trump has provided someone around whom to rally, and the outrage has exploded in the form of support for him. HIs basic message is: “I will clean up the corruption and be honest,” and this has fired an explosion of support. The support is a reaction to the dishonesty, corruption, and criminal activity in the U.S. government and its propaganda machine, the MSM.

[eartick]

The entire Obama Administration has committed high treason in one fashion or another.

It is up to the DOJ to pursue these matters to bring these traitors to justice.

Not going to happen during Obama 8 years, but maybe during the next King's reign in office.

[rktman]

I’m thinkin’ the pardons are already written and just need to be post dated when needed.

[GOPJ]

This means Clinton-friendly members of the I.C. who were read on were not only "grossly mishandling" classified information, but committing espionage within the I.C. itself.

It was not long ago that reports surfaced about Hillary's informal intel network and the Clinton tactic of securing patronage jobs in the intelligence community for promoting their own interests. This is why the intelligence source in the Fox News report said, "The bureau [FBI] does not waive its primacy in espionage cases."

The FBI appears to have moved from a criminal investigation into an espionage investigation.

Punishable by death, not just behind bars.

Anybody know the last time an American was executed for treason?

WRT the sell-off of strategic US uranium assets, the NYT reported that the uranium investors also donated heavily to the Clinton Foundation, as follows:

Canadian Frank Giustra...globe-trotting pal of Bill...donated $31.3 million and a pledge for $100 million more to the Clinton Foundation. Giustra built a company that later merged with Uranium One. Seems to have facilitated the uranium sell-off.

Canadian Ian Telfer....donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Mining investor who was chairman of Uranium One when an arm of the Russian government, Rosatom, acquired it.

Paul Reynolds...donated $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation Adviser on 2007 UrAsia-Uranium One merger. Later helped raise $260 million for the company.

Frank Holmes...donated $250,000 to $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Chief Executive of U.S. Global Investors Inc., which held $4.7 million in Uranium One shares in the first quarter of 2011.

Canadian Neil Woodyer....Founded Endeavour Mining with Giustra—donated $50,000 to $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Adviser to Uranium One.

GMP Securities Ltd....Donating portion of profits to the Clinton Foundation. Worked on debt issue that raised $260 million for Uranium One.

[Liz]

The NY Times reported the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US-based Clinton Foundation.

Giustra then pledged $100 million to the Foundation after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium deal.

ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow the same protocols.

SURPRISE: It hasnt.

Caught w/ his pants down, Giustra/s backtracking like crazy---saying Canadas federal privacy law forbids the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors.

A memo he provided news organs cites fiduciary obligations to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.

However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasnt aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donor names. QUOTE There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donor names. It's entirely up to them.

=================================

Hes a mining mogul......he facilitated the takeover of US uranium assets.... he received tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:

<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,

<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."

The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation...(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

===========================================

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of company assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show. (hat tip amorphous)

JUST the tip of the iceberg, what is not said is the paper trail to the money

I don't understand why the press isn't all over - this all the time... It's real, it' big, it's current... Then again, if the FBI doesn't get Hillary - Trump WILL... When he's our nominee and Hillary's the dems... all hell's gonna break lose on this story. Thanks for the ping Liz.

It has a specific meaning in monarchies. We’re not one (yet).

[tet68]

But there is potentially something deeper and more sinister going on.

Something “wicked smart”?

looks like I answered by own question.
