There’s likely a ‘perp walk’ in Hillary’s future

Posted

As revelations about Hillary Clinton’s emails and her reckless oversight of American secrets in her possession raises the question of whether there is a “perp walk” in her future. Just before Shabbos, we got a double-dose of Clinton email scandal revelations.

First, it was reported that some of the  emails have been deemed “too damaging” to national security to release under any circumstances, even with redactions. And then the Associated Press had the State Department “confirm[ing] for the first time Friday that Hillary Clinton’s home server contained closely guarded government secrets, censoring 22 emails that contained material requiring one of the highest levels of classification. … State Department officials also said the agency’s Diplomatic Security and Intelligence and Research bureaus are investigating if any of the information was classified at the time of transmission, going to the heart of Clinton’s defense of her email practices.”

Darrell Issa, former head of the House Oversight Committee, said he believes that the FBI wants to indict both Hillary and her top aide, Huma Abedin.

“I think he’s in a position where he’s being forced to triple-time make a case of what would otherwise be, what they call, a slam dunk,” Issa said, referring to FBI Director James Comey, who previously told the Senate Judiciary Committee he would conduct a “competent,” “honest” and “independent” probe into Clinton’s handling of classified information during her tenure as secretary of state.’

One of Hillary’s email defenses has been that she did not send or receive emails that were marked classified.
