No, this isn’t a trick question. I am assuming that the Cankled One will be treated like any other serf who runs afoul of the law. (Yes I know, but work with me here)
Even though Cankles Clinton is doing everything she can to stop the investigation into how she handled classified information, (along with all the other crimes she is alleged to have committed over the decades), the “drip, drip, drip” of revelations on her mishandling of classified information is getting worse, not better. It now appears that the FBI is moving into a full blow criminal investigation of Hillary Rodham Clinton and the people she surrounds herself with. Here are the details of what is happening from Fox News:
Three months after Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email address and server while secretary of state was referred to the FBI, an intelligence source familiar with the investigation tells Fox News that the team is now focused on whether there were violations of an Espionage Act subsection pertaining to “gross negligence” in the safekeeping of national defense information.
Uh Oh! Now things are getting serious for Saint Hillary. If you’ve been following the excuses coming out of the Clinton Crime Cartel, the primary excuses have been “It wasn’t classified when I got it.” and “I never received or sent classified information.” The latter has already been shown to be a bald faced lie and as to the second?
Under 18 USC 793 subsection F, the information does not have to be classified to count as a violation. The intelligence source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe, said the subsection requires the “lawful possession” of national defense information by a security clearance holder who “through gross negligence,” such as the use of an unsecure computer network, permits the material to be removed or abstracted from its proper, secure location.
Basically, if you get a document or information that looks like it should be secret, you need to contact the security people to let them determine if any damage has occurred.
Subsection F also requires the clearance holder “to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer. “A failure to do so “shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
Basic rule of thumb here is, don’t use unsecured systems and if you get something that might be secret, contact the proper authorities and let them deal with it. As long as you weren’t soliciting the information, and promptly called in the potential issues, you are generally ok in a legal sense.
Doing a Hillary and running an unsecure server, sending classified information hither and yon, as well as giving it to people who are not cleared to have it? That, as we used to say, is a Bozo No No! People have gone to prison or have been fined and lost their clearances for a lot less. And then we have Hillary’s mass deletion of messages.
The source said investigators are also focused on possible obstruction of justice. “If someone knows there is an ongoing investigation and takes action to impede an investigation, for example destruction of documents or threatening of witnesses, that could be a separate charge but still remain under a single case,” the source said.
Nice going Cankles. I thought you were a lawyer? Even though you were fired from the Watergate investigation for unethical behavior, (Started early, didn’t you?), you have to know that destroying evidence and covering it all up is what sends people like you to prison.
A former FBI agent, who is not involved in the case, said the inconsistent release of emails, with new documents coming to light from outside accounts, such as that of adviser Sidney Blumenthal, could constitute obstruction.
In addition, Clinton’s March statement that there was no classified material on her private server has proven false, after more than 400 emails containing classified information were documented.
Of course, Cankles is saying it isn’t her fault. The messages weren’t listed as “Secret! Don’t send to Sidney Blumenthal!”
One of Clinton’s primary defenses is that the emails containing classified information, did not carry classification markings, but a leading national security defense attorney says that is no excuse under the law. “The fact that something’s not marked or that the person may not know that it was classified would not be relevant at all in a prosecution under the Espionage Act,” defense attorney Edward MacMahon Jr. recently told Fox.
The Fox News article goes on to list numerous people who have been fined or imprisoned for doing a lot less than Hillary Clinton. People like General Petraeus, who showed his notebook to his girlfriend was hit with a massive fine even though the information didn’t go any further. What Hillary Clinton has done is far worse.
That server was hacked by who knows how many foreign intelligence services. Cankles paranoia regarding anything she wrote or said, along with her desire to control everything has placed this nation as well as individuals at serious risk, in some cases, of their very lives. Hillary Rodham Clinton should not be running for the highest office in the land, she should be looking at significant prison time.
