Will Hillary Clinton Finally Face Justice?


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.
