May 15, 201610 yr So what is Hillary's crime? If she is found guilty of everything she is accused of, what could she be charged with? People seem to believe she is going to jail or forced out of the race. Is that true? Here are my thoughts. The worst offenses I have seen Hillary accused of look to be not following proper procedure in setting up her email and some seem to believe she is lying to investigators. Let me look at each of these and possible outcomes. 1. Improperly setting up home email - The big concern here is she did not follow procedure and that created a security risk. Assume that is true. General Petraeus actually handed classified information to someone and he pled guilty to a misdemeanor and incurred a fine. At its very worst claim, I don't think Hillary's offense is as severe as what Petraeus did. She did not overtly disclose classified information. There is even debate whether classified information passed through her email server. If it did, it still was not purposely disclosed. Looking at those facts, I don't see any way Hillary is guilty of anything more than a misdemeanor. 2. Lying to investigators - There is more potential for a serious offense here. However, I would be shocked if Hillary made any statements that are obvious lies. She is skirting the edge of truth, perhaps being vague, etc. I think it highly unlikely she flat out lied. (I am sure many readers will jump all over that statement.) It appears she is being cooperative with investigators. She has appeared at Congress and answered questions. If she is not clearly lying or obstructing, what can she be found guilty of? If she were a member of Congress, she would be censured or reprimanded and go to work the next day. I am sure many partisans will argue against the above. It doesn't fit the agenda, or the hope. I am sure we will still see daily threads screaming hang Hillary. Based on the above, I feel those hopes are overboard. I am just trying to lay out a clear unbiased view of the facts. In my view, the whole email story will be much ado about very little when it is all said and done. Then we will have to read daily threads about how Hillary is above the law.
May 15, 201610 yr As I understand it, it started out being the same charge as Petraeus, the crime of mishandling classified information. It appears the investigation has expanded into the relationship among Clinton Foundation donations and state contracts. The first would result in a slap on the wrist if found guilty, the later are much more serious.
May 15, 201610 yr The entire scandal was/is a fishing expedition in an attempt to find something that would stick to HRC in hopes to make her stumble on her Presidential run. The whole situation seems to use the same playbook used in 1997-1998 on Bill.
May 15, 201610 yr ^^^^ It's not a scandal. She did break the law by not using a properly secured server and allowing her blackberry to be hacked by numerous groups. She put a lot of people at risk and for all we know that resulted in deaths. As for the Clinton Foundation. She sold America for money.
May 15, 201610 yr This is a stretch but how do we know that she did not set up the server and put classified material on it so it could be hacked. The clinton foundation gets money from alot of questionable countries. Is this a way of selling top serets with some deniability?

May 15, 201610 yr Didn't know the FBI was trying to ruin HRC's presidential run. Nice try though. Sorry, you got me. The start was the Benghazi investigation which begat the email scandal which will probably begat the scandal you mention.
May 15, 201610 yr Scandal. Watch the video I posted and you will understand why the FBI don't trust her and can finally bust her.
May 15, 201610 yr Sorry, you got me. The start was the Benghazi investigation which begat the email scandal which will probably begat the scandal you mention. Benghazi isn't a scandal either. It's a fact she lied about the reason as they later admitte it wasn't a video. She lied to the parents of the dead Americans. Libya was her baby and she let those Americans get killed there, for what. Her ignorance or arrogance got them killed.
May 15, 201610 yr Sorry, you got me. The start was the Benghazi investigation which begat the email scandal which will probably begat the scandal you mention. Sounds like she's been lying, cheating snd breaking the law for a while. If she was an ordinary citizen she would be in jail already. Talk about special privilege.
May 15, 201610 yr The one thing about HRC that cannot be disputed is that she is FOR SALE. Let's be honest though, most politicians are.

Makes for a nice hype statement but just not true. Petraeus committed a worse offense than what Hillary is accused of and paid a fine. That's all. People make statements like this and it just feeds the conspiracy theorists and it is all fixed crowd.

The amount of information she has leaked and on what subjects and who ultimately was able to hack that info is soon to be discovered. Somebody or a few involved will be given immunity deals and the flood gates will open. They may find themselves on the Clinton death list though.
