Hillary Clinton's Prison Term
- Thread starter Eventhorizon
- Start date
So far this has proven to be nothing but a sham kept alive by hopefully democrats. Zero proof after all this time of ANY collusion.
Heard alberto gonzales on the news this morning claiming many reasonable prosecutors would indict and try to convict.
Bring it!
Why now? Director Comey is out at the FBI
President Trump’s decision to fire James Comey touched off widespread speculation in Washington over what will happen to the FBI’s Russia meddling probe – but the prospect of new leadership at the bureau also could hold implications for the ‘closed’ Hillary Clinton email case.
Brian Weidner, a veteran former FBI agent, suggested both the case and the immunity deals struck during that investigation could be revisited.
"I would be surprised if they did not review all the investigations regarding HRC and come up with [a] conclusion regarding prosecution. The statute of limitations hasn't come into play yet," he said in an email to Fox News.
As for the immunity deals struck with key players in the Clinton orbit, he noted those deals are “with the government, so in theory it wouldn't change.”
However, he wrote, “a new AG and new director may take a good look at the entire case, and if anyone who received immunity did not live up to their agreement, like Huma [Abedin] with the classified documents on her computer, the deal is off and they are potential targets again.”
For dozens of current and former agents, the key factor will be who is the next director of the world’s most powerful law enforcement agency.
Does Trump pick from the FBI ranks or opt for a more political choice?
"No one can figure out how this POTUS [president of the United States] operates," one former agent connected to the Clinton email probe said.
While Democrats allege Trump fired Comey because of his discomfort with the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign and potential ties to Trump associates, the stated reason for the ouster was Comey’s handling of the Clinton email probe last year. A detailed memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein faulted Comey for announcing his findings last July, going around his boss, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and for making public a decision to revisit the case shortly before the election.
Former State Department Inspector General Howard Krongard told Fox News that he remains critical of how Comey led the email investigation – including the immunity deals with key Clinton aides Abedin, Bryan Pagliano, Cheryl Mills, John Bentel and Heather Samuelson.
Krongard described it as “the granting of immunity to five senior Clinton aides for virtually nothing in return.”
He said this is “normally done in return for a proffer of evidence or testimony which will build a bridge from one level to a higher level; in this case, the immunity grants built a moat around the higher level, not a bridge.”
Krongard stressed that the FBI’s interview with Clinton, “the highest level person and ultimate person of interest in the investigation” was held on July 4 weekend, “when the investigation had to have been virtually complete."
It also still baffles Krongard why Mills – a participant in the use of Clinton’s private email systems to send and receive classified messages – "was allowed to be present during the interview [with Clinton] and even to act as counsel."
There is no shortage of criticism surrounding other aspects of that investigation.
A former FBI agent familiar with the counterintelligence investigation into Clinton's use of non-secure email devices and servers told Fox News that "no stone was unturned” in the probe but alleged the process was deliberately "slowed down" by Clinton’s personal attorney David Kendall.
“We got everything we needed, but it was more painful than it needed to be,” the source said. “We would draft up search warrants for the servers in both residences -- then the process would be slowed down. It was like Step 1 and a pause, Step 2 and a pause.”
The source said coordinating with Kendall bothered him and others, saying, “Only when we threatened with the search warrants, something would be given up.”
The source said, "It was so much harder than it should have been."
The source added that the Justice Department “was running the show,” and the tone of the investigation was set at the top. “There was distaste for the investigation during the entire time.”
Rosenstein, in his memo, used the word "wrong” to describe Comey's handling of the conclusion of the criminal investigation into Clinton's use of private email servers and a private email account for all government business while she served as secretary of state.
"The way the director handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong," Rosenstein wrote, specifically noting that, "the director announced his own conclusions about the nation's most sensitive criminal investigation without the authorization of duly appointed Justice Department leaders."
The source, though, asserted that Comey “wanted to protect then-Attorney General Lynch."
Lynch at the time was under fire for meeting in late June 2016 with former President Bill Clinton on a Phoenix tarmac.
Eight days later, Clinton appeared for her official FBI interview at the Washington Field Office. The next day, Comey held his press conference proclaiming no criminal charges would be brought against Clinton despite her being "extremely careless" with the handling of highly classified materials while serving as the secretary of state.

Maybe America will finally get justice and closure and actually see the hag finally thrown behind bars.

@Eventhorizon , there is no doubt in my mind that prosecuting the winner of the popular vote in the 2016 election is next on Trumps Hit Parade, but is it really necessary to use the word "hag"? It is insulting to any woman looking at middle age and beyond. There is so much pressure on women to remain "girlish" throughout their lives. I think If you were married you might be a little more sensitive.
Just saying.
Just saying.
I don't care why Trump does it. He can do it as retribution, he can do it just because he can. Or he can do it because it should have been done to begin with, with or without him.
"Hag" perfectly fits Hillary. Perfectly. It would not fit other women of her same age that I have never met. It would not fit other women far older than her. It's almost like the word came into existence just to describe Hillary.

McCabe says FBI call not to prosecute Clinton angered some agents, defends Comey

McCabe: FBI will pursue Russia investigation 'vigorously'
New Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe acknowledged for the first time in public testimony Thursday that some agents were angry with the 2016 decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton – while also defending ousted Director James Comey’s overall standing at the bureau.
“I think morale's always been good, but there were folks within our agency that were frustrated with the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case and some of those folks were very vocal about those concerns,” McCabe testified.
McCabe stepped into the role of acting director Wednesday after Trump dismissed Comey, purportedly over his conduct during the 2016 probe into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state. Comey announced at a press conference last July that, despite concluding Clinton had been “extremely careless” in the handling of classified material, he would not recommend prosecution.
McCabe’s comments at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing mark the first public recognition from the FBI that some agents were angry at the decision not to prosecute.
While he noted the anger over that decision, he also pushed back on White House claims that Comey had lost confidence from rank-and-file staff in the agency.
"I can tell you also that Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day," he testified, adding that many staff held a "deep, positive connection" with him.
Democrats and some Republicans have expressed concern at the timing of Comey’s firing, with some questioning whether it was related to the FBI probe into alleged ties between Russian officials and Trump associates during the presidential campaign.
But McCabe told senators that the investigation – which he called “highly significant” -- is continuing unimpeded.
"The work continues despite any changes in circumstances," McCabe said. "There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date. You cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing, protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution."
Comey originally had been set to testify Thursday about worldwide threats, but McCabe appeared in his place, offering assurances to lawmakers that if there was any interference he would inform them. When asked by Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., if he would promise to tell them of any moves to interfere in the probe, McCabe said: “I absolutely do.”
McCabe also denied reports that Comey had requested more resources for the Russia probe in the days leading up to his termination, with McCabe saying he believes the probe to be “adequately resourced” and adding that normally the FBI will not request resources for a single investigation.
Earlier in the hearing, McCabe declined to confirm if Comey had told Trump that he was not the subject of an investigation by the FBI. McCabe told Chairman Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. he couldn’t comment on conversations between the two.
In his letter to Comey informing him of his dismissal, Trump said that Comey had told him on three occasions that he was not the subject of any probe. At the hearing, McCabe later said he would not give such updates to Trump.

Assange also reminded his followers of President Clinton's firing of then-FBI chief William S Sessions in 1993 after he refused to resign on recommendation of the attorney general. Sessions, who was accused of ethical violations, was the only other FBI head to be fired and noted that “Mr. Comey knows where many bodies are buried."
Assange concluded his sales pitch as follows: “Working for WikiLeaks is fulfilling. James – don't become another lobbyist for Glock or Donkin."

Glock is self-explanatory. Donkin as in Dunkin' Donuts, or what? Comey does enjoy working in an office environment.

“And if they send a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, some authoritarian regimen where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated -- that rips at the fabric of the contract we have that we can trust our justice system,” she said.
And that folks is the sound of fear. Hillary child, it has nothing to do with the fact you are a failed political opponent. It has everything to do with you being a corrupt criminal. You are scum of the earth and yes child, you will be seeing bars. Unless of course you keel over before then.
