I watched Geraldo Rivera on Hannity
last night saying that re-opening an investigation of Hillary
Clinton's illegal email activity was the wrong thing to do. He said
that he doesn't care whether or not she broke numerous federal laws
(as if his opinion is important) - he just wants to look forward.
He's an attorney who apparently doesn't care if Hillary committed
several felonies. He wants her left alone.
While Geraldo has been a liberal for a
while, it's interesting to learn that he wants to protect Hillary
Clinton.
He also said "There was no intent
so she didn't break the law." That was James Comey's statement
as well.
I spent 8 years in the Air Force and
can tell you that if Rivera and Comey believe no intent means no
crime they know nothing about security clearances. Mishandling of
classified, secret, top secret or Sensitive Compartmented information
is a felony even if you did it without intent to harm. And when
you're given a top secret clearance or above you're taught that very
thing. Intent or lack thereof means nothing.
Sebastian Gorka, who was a federal
employee with a security clearance in the Trump administration, tried
to explain it to Geraldo but Geraldo said "I disagree with your
legal analysis," and made himself look stupid.
And by the way, Geraldo (and Comey)....
when you are conducting government business, including transmission
of classified information, on a private server that's kept in
someone's bathroom, and when that server and the associated devices
(laptops, blackberries, etc.) are subpoenaed and instead of turning
them over you do your best to destroy them - that shows intent. If
what you were doing was perfectly legal and you had nothing to hide
why would you destroy the evidence? I'm not an attorney nor a highly
trained FBI agent. But I'm smart enough to understand that.
Hillary Clinton got a pass from the
Obama administration and the Obama Justice Department because Obama wanted her to protect his legacy. Now that Donald Trump is President it's time
that she faces justice and I, for one, am happy that the FBI has
re-opened that investigation, as well as re-opened the investigation
into pay for play in the Clinton Foundation and the shady dealings
with Uranium One.
While I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for
Clinton to be arrested – one can hope. It's certainly a possibility
and would be a very fitting end to the Clinton era. Let's hope our mostly useless Attorney General doesn't mess it up.
