Deceit and Power May Protect Clinton from Prosecution



By Ed Rogers, Washington Post

In politics, it is said that you can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time. In other words, liars have pretty good odds. The smoking guns keep piling up at Hillary Clinton’s feet, but nothing seems to trip her. Yesterday, Judicial Watch released a batch of documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, that it says reveals blatant coordination between then-Secretary of State Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Stunningly, the internal State Department emails expose Clinton’s eagerness to “thank [Clinton Foundation] supporters for their commitments.” Of course, these “commitments” must mean money. It’s incredible.

And, Clinton’s State Department was apparently coordinating meetings for Bill Clinton with foreign heads of state. If any other employee at the State Department had arranged such meetings for their spouse and actively thanked contributors to their spouse’s foundation, they would likely go to jail. No lawyer would even let it go to trial, because the sentencing guidelines would guarantee years behind bars. Another way to think about what was going on is to imagine that another country’s foreign minister’s spouse or family ran a foundation that American companies were caught giving to.

Documents reveal coordination between State, Clinton nonprofit

Documents released on Tuesday reveal that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's staff at the State Department coordinated with staff at the Clinton Global Initiative to help her thank the nonprofit's donors for their "commitments." The information, obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, includes emails from 2009 that were exchanged between prominent staff members at both organizations.

"We can arrange it however HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] prefers," says one Aug. 24 email from Amitabh Desai, CGI's director of policy planning, in reference to the agenda that would be in place for one of the organization's events. "Ordinarily, WJC [William Jefferson Clinton] announces these and then either introduces a guest or a panel discussion."

That message was addressed to Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department, Cheryl Mills, who proceeded to include three additional recipients on the email chain. They included deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin, Clinton's director of policy planning Jacob Sullivan and Caitlin Klevorick, a senior Clinton advisor who previously worked for Clinton's nonprofit.

After clarifying how Clinton had structured a similar event the previous year, Klevorick noted, "One question is if we want to see if there is a decent mass of fs [funds] related commitments to announce together at closing as a 'mega' commitment."

That coordination between staff at the State Department and staff at the Clintons' charitable fund could breathe new life into a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that reportedly began in January. The agency reportedly began that investigation as a result of findings that resulted from looking at Clinton's use of a private server as secretary of state.

Some of the charges that could result from the probe, experts have said, include criminal conflict of interest, criminal conspiracy and conversion, or the use of public funds for private purposes.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton blasted Clinton for the findings in a statement. "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton worked hand in glove with the Clinton Foundation on fundraising and foreign policy," Fitton said. "Despite the law and her promises to the contrary, Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into the D.C. office of the Clinton Foundation."

A transcript of Clinton's speech suggests she ultimately did make a vague expression of gratitude to those making "exceptional commitments," but also to track down those whose commitments didn't quite measure up "as we do."

"This is an exceptional gathering of people who have made exceptional commitments to bettering our world," Clinton said. She later added, "We're going to track commitments, just as we do here at CGI, to make sure pledges are fulfilled, and to gather data and publicly track our progress and results."

"That way, we are all accountable, and we'll know if we're falling short and need to change strategies," the transcript recounts Clinton telling the audience.

She'll slither out of it somehow.

I think HRC is in a world of sh#t & so are her financial backers who contributed considerable financial resources to her campaign. Guess they might have backed, "The Wrong Horse" this time...

While Her Email Troubles Mount,
Another ‘Draft Indictment’ From Clinton’s Past Could Surface
Mar. 28, 2016 12:46pm Fred Lucas

As the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server appears to intensify, a government watchdog group is suing to obtain the “draft indictment” from a past scandal.

Whitewater, an Arkansas land deal gone bad when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas and Hillary Clinton was a member of the Rose law firm, was the subject of much suspicion during Bill Clinton’s tenure as president. The National Archives has confirmed that there was a “draft indictment” of then-first lady Hillary Clinton by the office of independent counsel Ken Starr. Robert Ray, who took over the probe in 1999, determined in 2000 there was not sufficient evidence to indict the Clintons regarding Whitewater.

However, the National Archives and Records Administration, is refusing to release the draft indictment, asserting it would violate the former first lady’s privacy.

Judicial Watch announced Monday it had filed a motion for summary judgment, and suspects 2016 presidential politics is behind the agency’s reluctance to release the information.

Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, speaks with an attendees after a round table discussion at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on Thursday, March 24, 2016. More than halfway through a nomination race that she entered as the clear favorite, Clinton finds herself deadlocked with Bernie Sanders among Democrats.

“It is absurd for the Obama administration to argue that Hillary Clinton’s privacy would keep a draft indictment from the American public,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “One can’t help but conclude that the Obama administration is doing a political favor for Hillary Clinton at the expense of the public’s right to know about whether prosecutors believed she may have committed federal crimes.”

The National Archives confirmed in its court motion that “included among the records of Mr. Starr and his successors are drafts of a proposed indictment of Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
NARA also stated, “Box 2250 contains a folder labeled ‘Draft Indictment.’ Box 2256 contains a folder labeled ‘Hillary Rodham Clinton/Webster L. Hubbell Draft Indictment.’ Multiple drafts of the proposed indictment of Mrs. Clinton were located by NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] within these folders.”


The court filing, written by Martha Wagner Murphy, chief of National Archives FOIA branch, declared that the draft wold be a “privacy interest that is not outweighed by any public interest.”

“With respect to the potential invasion of personal privacy, all individuals are entitled to a presumption of innocence,” Murphy wrote. “When, in the context of a criminal investigation, an independent counsel determines not to bring an indictment, the subject of the investigation has a significant privacy interest in not being associated with any underlying criminal interest.”

The Clinton presidential campaign did not immediately respond to TheBlaze for comment.

The Judicial Watch’s opposition brief said, “Making false statements and withholding evidence from federal investigators bears on Mrs. Clinton’s honesty, credibility, and trustworthiness … for the position she currently seeks.” The brief added that the National Archives argument is “neither serious nor credible.”

The draft indictments regard allegations that Hillary Clinton provided false information and withheld evidence from federal investigators to conceal her involvement with the defunct Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan, the collapse of which lead to multiple criminal convictions of several involved in the Whitewater land deal.

Hillary Clinton represented Madison Guaranty as an attorney at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas. Clinton’s Rose Law Firm billing records were found in the private quarters of the White House shortly after an important statute of limitations had expired.The Whitewater scandal was a convoluted matter that consumed the headlines in the early years of the Clinton administration. Starr’s investigation eventually led to the Monica Lewinsky matter.

The controversy traced back to 1978 with a real estate investment by the Clintons along with Jim and Susan McDougal into the Whitewater Development Corp., when Bill Clinton was the Arkansas attorney general and continued through his time as governor.

Hillary Clinton was a member of the Rose law firm, which handled legal business for the McDougals. David Hale, a former Arkansas judge also facing scrutiny, alleged that Gov. Clinton pressured him to provide an illegal $300,000 loan to the McDougals. The questions followed the Clintons to the White House in part because Hillary’s Rose law partners Vince Foster and Webster Hubbell both were giving posts in the administration. In 1996, numerous Clinton confidants were convicted, including Jim McDougal and Clinton’s gubernatorial successor, Jim Guy Tucker.

But but but she was "broke when she and Bill left the White House" and she came under sniper fire in Bosnia....she's just misunderstood

God she fails miserably in all honesty and trustworthiness polls and STILL leads the Dem race....go frickin figure.
