HILLARY CLINTON MAY FACE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF HER PRIVATE EMAILS
A NIXONIAN CANDIDATE
It would appear that former president Richard Nixon is back. Only now he has incarnated in a female body wearing a pant suit. And his name his Hillary Clinton. Consider this excerpt from his presidency:
On November 17, 1973, the White House
informed Federal District Judge John Sirica that the 18 1/2 minute Nixon-Haldeman conversation of June 20, 1972, had been erased.
(For more, see… THE MISSING 18 1/2 MINUTES – https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/the-missing-18-12-minutes…/)
We all know what happened nine months later. A disgraced and impeached president was forced to leave the White House. Wasn’t one Watergate enough? Does America really need an “Emailgate?”
It seems so. Hillary Clinton had deleted 32,000 emails from her server before turning over 55,000 emails to the State Dept and the courts. That’s destroying evidence, just like Nixon did with his tapes.
THE STORY
HILLARY CLINTON MAY FACE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF HER PRIVATE EMAILS
July 24, 2015
Hillary Clinton may face a criminal investigation by the Justice Department over her use of a private email address while she was secretary of state, according to a report.
The New York Times said late on Thursday that two inspectors general had asked for the investigation. Revelations that the Democratic presidential hopeful used a private email account on a server hosted in her home in Chappaqua, New York, have led to months of scrutiny both in the media and by a congressional committee tasked with investigating the 11 September 2012 terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
While Clinton has long maintained that she did nothing wrong in eschewing State Department email in favor of her own personal address hdr22@clintonemail.com, political opponents have alleged that this account was used to shield her from scrutiny under the Freedom of Information Act, as well as by Congress. In a March press conference at the United Nations, Clinton insisted she only used the address for “convenience” so she wouldn’t have to carry two phones.
Clinton subsequently turned over 55,000 pages of emails for release, comprising roughly 30,000 individual messages to the State Department, but deleted 32,000 more emails from her server, stating that they were personal in nature. The former secretary of state also maintained no email to or from her personal account contained classified information. According to the New York Times, government inspectors general identified hundreds of emails that potentially contained classified messages.
The decision on whether to move forward with an investigation lies with the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, and carries risks for the Obama administration. Should an investigation go ahead it might turn up even more embarrassing information about Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. However, should the Justice Department decide not to investigate it could lead to accusations of a politically motivated cover-up in an election year.

Eric She got away with so much crap and managed to lie or buy her way out of trouble. Others around her took the fall and got blamed for her mistakes. Others around her went to jail and she never paid for her crimes

Bob Djurdjevic Highly unlikely. I agree with you and Eric. But that’s also what Nixon thought. No empire is forever. And they all start to crumble with a tiniest of cracks. That’s what history teaches us. Did you ever thing the Soviet Union would collapse so quickly after 70+ years? I didn’t.
