Hillary Clinton for mishandling national security information on her private email server . “ There is more than enough for an indictment , ” Issa , the former House Oversight Committee chairman , told Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius / XM Patriot Channel 125 . Issa explained :
Rattansi : If there is any illegality in the pending emails you will release or malfeasance in what you already released President Obama could presumably act on it and get Hillary Clinton charged ? Regardless of whether you are about to release any email which would mean that James Comey and the FBI would have no alternative but to arrest Hillary Clinton ? Assange : Our view which we have already stated is if the evidence that the FBI has is enough for a grand jury to indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.naalready … But a prosecutor has to ask a grand jury to indict . And if a prosecutor does n’t ask , a grand jury wo n’t indict . But our next leak can bring her down because it is something that FBI ca n’t overlook ! Rattansi : When will be the date when you will release this leak ?
Just 22 % of Democrats share that view ; 70 % of voters in Clinton 's party agree with the FBI 's decision . Seventy - seven percent ( 77 % ) of Republicans and 51 % of unaffiliateds consider Clinton ’s e - mail issue Very Important to their vote in the election , but only 23 % of Democrats agree . Men and voters 40 and older are more likely than women and younger voters to disagree with the FBI ’s decision not to indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.naClinton . Eighty percent ( 80 % ) of voters who disagree with the FBI ’s decision say the issue is Very Important to their vote , compared to just 14 % who agree with the decision . When it was first disclosed in March of last year that Clinton was using a private e - mail server while secretary of State , 39 % of all voters said she was deliberately trying to hide things from government oversight , but 30 % did n’t think that was true .
It 's not a stretch of the imagination to say that Clinton broke at least one law pertaining to the storing of classified information by a government official . There are already eight laws that could have been broken , and Americans still do n't know the extent of the FBI 's investigation . If the FBI fails to indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindictHillary Clinton , then the public , as well as the intelligence community , will start pointing fingers . When NPR publishes a headline titled 22 Hillary Clinton Emails Dubbed Top Secret , it 's difficult to claim negligence , or over - classification . NPR also writes that " She did , however , sign paperwork at the State Department that said she understood that information could be classified even if it were n't marked that way . "
As the time of this publication , the Huffington Post ’s Politics page has not mentioned this news . The latest Clinton emails story from the Huffington Post ’s Politics section that is branded as news — not “ The Blog ” — is a Reuters wire dated June 10th . In that time , reports have claimed that Russia ’s government intercepted and will release Clinton ’s emails ; Wikileaks founder Julian Assange announced plans to release Clinton emails which he believes would provide sufficient evidence to indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.naher ; and CBS News published a poll showing two thirds of registered voters believed Clinton ’s private email setup was either illegal ( 41 percent ) or improper ( 25 percent ) . The site ’s parent company AOL posted a video about the Assange story , but HuffPo ’s political team made no mention of it . A review of the site ’s tags on Clinton and her email scandal reveal scant coverage from its own editorial staff .
He 's now in a little bit of a quagmire . He ought to get out of it by -- by saying very clearly that what -- what he was doing was making a joke , but -- but -- but saying that -- putting the issue back into the dialogue by saying , it is a question of whether or not she ’s being honest and trustworthy with the American people . If he were smart , he ’d play off your interview today and use her words to indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindicther . She said , that ’s not what I hear Director Comey say . Well , as the rest of America heard what Director Comey said , not what she thinks he said .
In May 2016 , the inspector general of the state department criticized her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state stating that she had not requested permission to use it and even if she had , she would not have been given permission . The controversy occurred against the backdrop of Clinton 's 2016 presidential election campaign and hearings by the House Select Committee on Benghazi . Perhaps the plan is to quietly indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindictMrs. Clinton , have her plead guilty to violation of email regulations , pay a $ 10,000 fine , and then move on with the presidential race . Bill Clinton was actually impeached for committing perjury in 1998 , but simply went on with his presidency . He was disbarred by the Supreme Court , but that did n't really matter either .
Some of this certainty comes from the simpleminded game of repeating that Buk missiles are “ Russian - made , ” which is true but irrelevant to the issue of who fired the missiles , since the Ukrainian military possesses Russian - made Buks . Despite the lack of U.S. cooperation in the investigation and the failure of Western intelligence to detect Russians or ethnic Russian rebels with a Buk battery in eastern Ukraine the Dutch criminal prosecutors who are working closely with the Ukrainian government say they are taking seriously allegations by bloggers at a British Web site called Bellingcat who have identified Russian soldiers assigned to a Buk missile battery as prime suspects in the shoot - down . So , the possibility remains that this Dutch - led investigation in coordination with the Ukrainian government will indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindictsome Russian soldiers even as the U.S. government withholds its data that could resolve such key questions as where the fateful missile was fired . An indictment of Russian soldiers would make for more useful anti - Putin propaganda and would be sure to produce another chorus of denunciations against Moscow from the mainstream Western media . But such a development might do little to resolve the mystery of who really shot down MH-17 , killing Quinn Schansman and 297 other people aboard MH-17 .
The explicit - sounding call to violence is bad enough . But even worse is that , intentionally or not , Trump has been laying the groundwork for this idea for a while . From his talk of " rigged elections " to his suggestion that we need Russia to hack Clinton ’s emails if the Justice Department wo n’t indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindicther , Trump ’s message is clear : Clinton is so corrupt , and the system that favors her is so broken , that our ordinary democratic and legal processes are n’t equipped to handle it . She should be thrown in jail , but she probably wo n’t be . It ’s a pretty short step from that idea to violent fantasies of going outside the law for real justice — even from official sources like the Republican Party of Riverside County , California , which recently tweeted a picture of a hangman captioned " Ready For Hillary . "
Goodman wrote on Huffington Post in October . Sometimes such sweeping pronouncements prove true ; sometimes they are found to be folly . True , I predicted Bernie Sanders would win the nomination and the FBI would indictjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.chargeindictClinton , but extraordinary things took place for my crystal ball to stop working . Comey made the case for indictment ( admitting “ we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton 's personal email account ” ) , but for some reason could n’t find “ intent . ” As for Bernie Sanders becoming nominee , just ask where Debbie Wasserman Schultz is now working .
