FBI Director Comey: Hillary Broke the Law, BUT We Recommend No Charges

U.S. Criminal Code §793 (f):   “Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information,  relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence  permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has  been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such  loss, theft,  abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer— shall be fined  under this title, or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”

Well, we all knew last week that the “fix’ was in, when former President Bill Clinton climbed aboard Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s plane for a private conversation with her. For that matter, we knew the “fix” was in when, last September, President Obama said that he didn’t believe that there was any criminal wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton.

Despite the fact that more than 58 e-mail chains on Secretary Clinton’s private e-mail server were clearly marked classified, and thereby subject to criminal prosecution under the US Criminal Code § 793(f), the FBI Director nevertheless indicated that he will not recommend criminal charges be filed against the presumptive Democrat nominee.

Translation- Despite his record of above-the-board, beyond-the-political criminal investigations, FBI Director James Comey “caved” to the political reality that, had he done the right thing and recommended a criminal referral to the Department of Justice against Hillary Clinton, that such a referral at the end of the day would be summarily rejected. Comey clearly lied when he said that “nobody in the administration knew what he was about to say,” when he delivered a statement concerning the investigation. It was obvious that this decision had already been made, prior to Hillary Clinton being interviewed by FBI this past weekend, following Loretta Lynch’s comments that she would “likely accept the recommendations of the FBI,” and prior to President Obama flying to North Carolina with Secretary Clinton aboard Air Force One, to attend campaign events at her behest.

In essence, precisely that which General David Petraeus was indicted for a single instance, Hillary Clinton escaped indictment for many, many times the same violation. In other words, yes it’s true that the Clintons have been beyond the reach of the law for decades, and continue to remain beyond the law, thanks to the corruption that is the Federal government in Washington, DC.

But don’t expect the mainstream media to tell the truth about this- as they are, as they have always been, deep in the tank for the Democrats in general, and for Hillary Clinton, in particular.

Advantage Clinton.
