The FBI submitted a classified declaration to a federal court judge late Friday explaining details about the bureau's "pending investigation" into the use of a private email server by Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The declaration addresses why the FBI can't publicly release any records about its probe in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by VICE News.

Not if the MSM has anything to say about it.

"As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents are likely to want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said," according to the Washington Post report.

This is the statement I don't like. This is like "Did you know that embezzling funds from your employer was illegal?" The law says you can't do it. Whether or not you are aware you are breaking the law is of no consequence.

Keep readin

[rktman]

Hmmm. Okay. Regardless of the YUGENESS of it, I still don’t think anything will come of it.

[advertising guy]

Well then,hide an watch

[rktman]

LOL! I prefer to hide in the open and watch.

That’s HIGH treason, a death penalty offense

"High treason" has a specific meaning. It does not exist in the US Constitution, or in Federal law, and for good reason.

[Jim Noble]

Joe, Joe Biden are you awake?

Biden/Warren is the Dem ticket, that was decided at least six months ago.

The only thing we don't know (yet) is the stage management.

Was Benghazi attacked and Ambassador Stevens murdered BECAUSE SOMEONE READ HIS EMAILS TO HILLARY

Almost certainly not.

"Benghazi" is a dead end.

Rather than State Department, I think specific individuals that are employed there are guilty of the evidence tampering.

That raises the questions?..... who? and who else?

[PA Engineer]

It’s treason on top of treason. There’s a very good chance this woman could have been selling off classified info in exchange for donations to the Clinton money laundering foundation. That’s HIGH treason, a death penalty offense. Anyone defending and protecting that is also committing treason, but I would expect nothing less from this Islamic caliphate posing as our POTUS administration.

Agreed. That summarizes it very well.

[advertising guy]

No,it is not

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Isn’t it treason against the goverment? I would think selling off top secret info would qualify as that

[erlayman]

We would hope, although obviously the dynamics are somewhat uncertain given that Trump is going into it as an adversary with accumulated baggage of his own at this point. The bottom line is that if Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton is correct and there is an uprising in the national security bureaucracies to prosecute Hillary, which I don’t doubt, they need to pull out all the stops to guarantee she is not elected. Period.

High treason is an attack, verbal or physical, on the person of the monarch or a member of the Royal Family. It includes unlawful sexual intercourse with the wife of a member of the Royal Family, and used to include counterfeiting coins with the monarch's portrait.

The use of "high treason" against political enemies had faded by 1788, but the memory of its use for this purpose was still vivid for the Founders. It is for this reason that "treason" is the only crime that is defined in the US Constitution, and its why there is only one grade of treason in our law.

[Jim Noble]

No,it is not

The principal "offenses" at Benghazi were the failure to rescue Ambassador Stevens and the failure to provide fire support to Doherty and Woods.

There is absolutely no question that the decision to commit or to withhold US forces from urban combat in a foreign country is within the authority of the Commander in Chief. His decision in this regard was a legal exercise of his Constitutional authority and could not under any circumstances be a crime.

Of course, the wisdom and propriety of his actions was a completely legitimate subject for the electorate, but unfortunately his opponent in the 2012 election chose not to make an issue of it.

That's it. It's over.

[Jim Noble]

Isn’t it treason against the goverment?

In British common law countries, maybe.

Our Constitution defines it as a crime "against the united States".

It might be a huge story that is not in favor of justice.

The FBI is requesting a halt to the FOIA request by Vice News...meaning that there will be no more releases that could potentially damage Clinton’s campaign.

...and clearlythe State department was withholding the most damaging information as long as possible.

If the FBI is truly seeking justice, this is an expected positive development. If the FBI has been told to bury the investigation, this is bad news.

[advertising guy]

I completely disagree,the Judge was very specific
