Late last week, as the furor over the Inspector General report was raging, I devoted a fair amount of my radio show to arguing that Hillary Clinton should have been charged and prosecuted over her email scandal -- the DOJ's handling of which was the subject of the IG's findings. I've already written extensively about Mrs. Clinton's egregious misconduct, highlighting the reasons why it wasn't just a series of stupid mistakes, and pushing back against unpersuasive arguments about the nature of her actions. It seems as though this same sticking point has also been bothering Harvard-trained attorney, former JAG officer, and former Cornell Law School lecturer David French, who made his case for prosecution at National Review Online on Friday. His indictment, rooted in personal experience and deep understanding of the relevant statutes, is compelling:
After reading the analysis, I just flat-out don’t buy that Hillary’s conduct — and her senior team’s conduct — didn’t meet that standard. The key reason for my skepticism is the nature of the classified information sent and received. Remember, as Comey outlined in his infamous July 5, 2016 statement, Hillary sent and received information that was classified at extraordinarily high levels...If you’ve ever handled classified information, you understand that there are often judgment calls at the margins. When I was in Iraq, I often made the first call about classification. In other words, I determined whether to send information up the chain via the unclassified system (NIPRNet) or the classified system (SIPRNet). Entire categories of information were deemed classified by default. Other categories were commonly unclassified. But sometimes, I had to make a choice. And sometimes, the choice wasn’t clear.

Gross negligence my fanny. As a minimum, she should be prosecuted for destruction of (subpoenae) evidence.
Then there’s that cattle futures scam, abetting rape, treason in Benghazi and Fast and Furious, to mention just a few ...
Yet she walks (waddles) free and Gen Flynn and Manafort face lifetimes in jail.
This country sucks!
Look at the steps Hillary took.
There is an absolutely amazing amount of time, money and effort that went into her criminal actions with classified material.
Negligence is returning a classified document to the wrong folder in a secure storage cabinet in a secure facility. And yes you could get into big trouble for just that.
Is that what she did?
She requested. She had built. She was warned. She ignored. She lied.
Nope.
Her actions aren’t negligent.
Her actions are criminal.
So what statute would you use to prosecute her?
She’s above the law.
Well, Guys and Gals in Federal Law enforcement::
It’s never too late to
“LOCK HER UP!”
(Just find a judge that’s on ‘our side’ and give her the Manafort treatment...for starters.)
“The case against Granny Xlinton was handed over to the voters”
No offense to you, but Ive heard so many elected Republicans say this. I whole heartedly disagree.
Her NOT winning the most powerful office in the world is not punishment for criminal activity. She NEEDS to be tried and put in prison - as is what would be the case if you or I did the same thing.
(hat tip Robert A Cook PE)
So US Sec of State Hillary Clinton...
<><> holding a cabinet level position placing her in-line for the presidency...
<><>charged with making worldwide diplomatic decisions on behalf of the American people, and,
<><> to make contacts with world leaders to safeguard the safety and security of the citizenry .....
....had only 13 people in 4 years able to contact HER by email. And, when they did use email, it was illegal.
Arguably, quite the contrary. Even before it was fully heard, the case was swept under the rug by corrupt offices prior to the election at enormous risk to America's future. It doesn't appear enough of the evidence would have been available after the election to throw Clinton out of office.
While you are correct about "bad optics and sullying" at the time, there now ought to be a substantial penalty paid by the actors. Indeed, it could be and perhaps should be argued that this is an "overthrow" type of criminal action.
Hillary Clinton Can Be Prosecuted for Willful Gross Negligence
If only we had someone in charge who tells the attorney general to start prosecuting people.
She was NOT Negligent....she did everything on PURPOSE and KNOWING SHE COULD SKIRT THE LAW!
The rumor mill said a while back that a conversation was overhead in D.C. between two Democrats with the line “we may not be able to protect Hillary much longer.” I hope that’s true!!!
We’re seeing an extinction-level conflict between a heinous masked entity and an open-faced Alliance of patriots and the God-fearing.
If Hillary is the most attractive mask the cabal can bring forth, one shudders to contemplate what squirms beneath.
We’ll know it’s on for real when the mask comes off.
Slithery Rotten Criminal. LOCK HER UP!
I would use the Venus de Milo statute.
