The wheels of justice grind slowly but they also stop and then loudly drone on about grinding finely.

TWO JUSTICE SYSTEMS

[varon]

I will be impressed if there are perp walks out of the Senate chamber on June 11. But I’m not holding my breath. The Swamp will protect its own.

Let's face it. The deal is done. Case closed!

The hubbub going on now is purely theatrics. The only thing left is posturing as to which side will write the final chapter.

Whichever version prevails, Hillary, the mob queen, triumphs!

Remember, the entire purpose of Secy Hillary’s secret server was to keep the Clinton Foundation briefed on who the Clintons could shakedown next.

EXCERPT Hillary Clinton’s email problems began in her first days as secretary of state. She insisted on using her personal BlackBerry for all her email communications, but she wasn’t allowed to take the device into her seventh-floor suite of offices, a secure space known as Mahogany Row. —snip—

Under Title 18, Section 1924, of federal law, it is a misdemeanor punishable by fines and imprisonment for a federal employee to knowingly remove classified information “without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location.” Previous cases brought under the law have required proof of an intent to mishandle classified information, a high hurdle in the Clinton case.

The basement server also put Clinton at risk of violating laws and regulations aimed at protecting and preserving government records.

In a statement, Clinton’s campaign said she had received “guidance regarding the need to preserve federal records” and followed those rules. “It was her practice to email government employees on their ‘.gov’ email address. That way, work emails would be immediately captured and preserved in government record-keeping systems,” the statement said. Fallon said that “over 90 percent” of the more than 30,000 work-related emails “were to or from government email accounts.”

Specialists interviewed by The Post said her practices fell short of what laws and regulations mandated. Some of those obligations were spelled out a few months before Clinton took office in National Archives and Records Administration Bulletin 2008-05, which said every email system was supposed to “permit easy and timely retrieval” of the records.

The secretary of state’s work emails are supposed to be preserved permanently. In addition, rules also mandated that permanent records are to be sent to the department’s Records Service Center “at the end of the Secretary’s tenure or sooner if necessary” for safekeeping.

Under Title 18, Section 2071, it is a misdemeanor to take federal records without authorization, something that is sometimes referred to as the “alienation” of records. The law is rarely enforced, but a conviction can carry a fine or imprisonment.

Jason R. Baron, a former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, told the Senate Judiciary Committee last year he believed that Clinton’s server ran afoul of the rules. In a memo to the committee, Baron wrote that “the setting up of and maintaining a private email network as the sole means to conduct official business by email, coupled with the failure to timely return email records into government custody, amounts to actions plainly inconsistent with the federal recordkeeping laws.”

On May 19, 2015, in response to a FOIA lawsuit from the media organization Vice News, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered all the email to be released in stages, with redactions.—SNIP—

I meant to say we have no powerful attorney general. Typo.

While on the subject of the Clinton Foundation:

<><>Investors Business Daily reported huge foreign contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors."

<><>The Dallas office of the IRS's investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings found missing disclosures concerning foundation donations from foreign governments. Other glaring discrepancies should have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago.

Then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman Let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
By Bob Fredericks September 6, 2016 | 9:37pm

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.” But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.In 2009, Clinton’s first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to “list each government contribution separately.”

Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, “This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly.” Schneiderman’s office said, “The Clinton Foundation’s disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law.”

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

Hillary and the smirking Eric Schneiderman (right).
E/S was recently ousted from office after charges he spat at,
choked and slapped women he was intimate with.

I think Grassley and Nunes have backed off from the brink because they have previewed the IG report and are going to see if DOJ/FBI can clean themselves up with new leadership.

Some believe the IG is also investigating Mueller.

I think Trump’s roll is to push out new information to create fear among the bad eggs still left in hopes they create more evidence against themselves.

[frank ballenger]

Absolutely infuriating that Her Royal Thighness Hillary skated while thumbing her ugly nose at all of us. History written by leftist eggheads will portray her as righteous and Trump as a crook. Digital destruction will eliminate all references to any evidence against her or other liberals.
What a horrifying future we face now.

I agree. Mueller’s real job is to cover up and distract from democrat wrong doing. Especially Clinton and Obama wrong doing.

FYI - That is the same judge that was recused from the Flynn case.

>>The hubbub going on now is purely theatrics. <<

Truer words were never said.

I used to be impressed by Trey Gowdy until I noticed absolutely NOTHING comes of his questions in the committees he is in.

Probably the best news anyone under fire can hear is he/she has to appear before the anyone in the GOP.

They should call it the Bluster Mill.

[VideoDoctor]

The question remains: Is this going to result in real INDICTMENTS and PROSECUTION or is it just more KABUKI THEATER?

[Paladin2]

Sessions will see to it that H->! continues to stumble along.

Lookit this.

Gowdy sucking up to Hillary henchman Cheryl Mills who had just appeared before his
committee to answer questions about Hillary's immunity deal.

[thinden]

Originally scheduled for Tuesday, the hearing will now take place at 2 p.m. on June 11 and is open to the public.The hearing, titled “Examining the Inspector General’s First Report on Justice Department and FBI Actions in Advance of the 2016 Presidential Election,” will focus on the long-anticipated IG report.

suppose this 6/11 is a "boom"

[eartick]

Nothing to see here,move along. Time for more smoke and mirrors but no time for justice.

[Mouton]

Hearing starts at 2 and tabled at 2.15 after introductions and a general nothing to see hear finding.

[Ann Archy]

Chuck Grassley is a very old man...the Dems will walk all over him! They will make this into a FARCE! Democrats are not only EVIL and VILE but they are CLEVER too!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Hearings, are hard of hearing. What we need is an investigation of the inquiry. Once we get an investigation of the hearing based upon the inquiry, then we can have an investigation of the inquiry based upon the hearing. Soon after that, the results of the inquiry into the hearing on they investigation will become evident. At that point it will be curtains for the clintons. I am absolutely sure of it.
