The mainstream media has succeeded in covering up Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and it appears her supporters couldn’t care less about the corruption.
While it seems unlikely that Clinton will be hauled away in handcuffs anytime soon, a new filing by the Justice Department contains a phrase that suggests a criminal prosecution is being planned for the Democratic presidential frontrunner.
From The Federalist Papers:
In the ongoing battle to get access to the e-mails that Hillary sent, or received or tried to destroy, the Justice Department has been forced to respond or explain why certain emails must remain classified.
When a Vice News reporter formally protested the classification of an FBI decision explaining how sensitive information ended up on Hillary’s homebrew server, the Justice Department responded, explaining why:
“They responded in kind by saying they couldn’t make the document public because it would “adversely affect the ongoing investigation” into Clinton’s private email server.
Fair enough, but it is two words further into the DOJ memorandum that will be sure to raise some eyebrows. The department claims it can’t reveal the document because doing so could “reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”
It’s those two words – “enforcement proceedings”– that may be telling. As Rusty Weiss explains, the phrase “enforcement proceedings” is used in federal law when an “investigation or proceeding involves a possible violation of criminal law.”
The FBI needs to finish this before November for the sake of the nation.
The Clintons are above the law and live by different rules than the rest of us.
General Petraeus or any other State Department official would be on trial already.
If Hillary was a man she’d be in prison.
Agree.
When I see her put in Cuffs and the Back of a Black Maria, I’ll Believe it.
And this woman is running for president?
It looks to me that the politicized DOJ wants to control the timing of this.
Remember a few weeks ago the FBI director said that he was under no obligation to finish prior to Democratic Convention.
IMHO, someone wants to control the timing to fit the planned narrative.
I suspect that around mid-September the "Justice" Department will announce that there's no indictment, as all the evidence pointed to total innocence. Then, in late-September Obama will officially endorse Hillary.
The Muslim overlords will not allow queen Hildabeast to be touched.
I doubt the FBI will recommend any charges at all. Hillary is too elite a personae to face justice.
I choose not to believe that. I’ve known Jim Comey since he was the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY and the Deputy Attorney General (the latter under a miserable and inept Attorney General, John Ashcroft). He has always been a very honest and principled man and, while I wouldn’t expect him to publicly fall on his sword, in the event of a whitewash, he’ll make his opinion clearly known in a very public way.
Truth is, you and I would be hauled off, convicted and imprisoned for far less than this my friend.
“It’s those two words – “enforcement proceedings”– that may be telling.”
If you’re mining for “gold” and all you can pan out is a couple of flecks then maybe it’s time to dig somewhere else.
Yeah? BS. Laws only apply to the peon schmucks, not Killary.
I have a new theory. Obama’s hatred of Clintons may be stronger than his loyalty to Democratic party. He will let her be prosecuted.
It WOULD be the means to install his personal pick at the convention.
They’ll perp walk her after her second term.
(WTF is taking so long?)
“If Hillary was a man she’d be in prison.”
For some reason I thought of Ray Nagin, former Mayor of the Chocolate City. Looking him up it says he lost his appeal to the 10 year sentence given him.
At one point he was a Democrat darling.

Rules don’t matter for rats.
I’ve seen clearly written election law violated in favor of rats in New Jersey (Toricelli) and my home state of Kansas (Taylor).
Rules and law simply don’t matter, as long as the courts are complicit.
No way, Obama is much too lazy for that. He cannot wait to leave the White House. You are giving him credit for a work ethic he does not have.
