Next up: a special counsel to probe Team Obama’s obstruction of justice

[Madmallard]

By using fired FBI Director James Comey to attack the new Republican administration, Democrats have opened up a legal can of worms for the Obama administration.

Under sworn questioning, Comey has veered off the topic of President Trump and Russia and revealed several damning incidents in which his predecessor’s administration politically interfered in the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation. And now the Senate will investigate Team Obama for obstruction of justice.

Specifically, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced last week it will hold hearings to “examine then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s involvement in the Clinton e-mail server investigation.”

The findings of the powerful panel, which has oversight of the Justice Department and FBI, could lead to a separate criminal investigation and the naming of another special counsel — exactly what Trump needs to distract attention from his growing legal woes.

What Lynch did reeks of obstruction. According to Comey his ex-boss:

•  Ordered him to mislead the public about the criminal investigation of Clinton by calling it a “matter” rather than an investigation. (He complied with her wish, even though it made him feel “queasy.”)
•  Refused to recuse herself from the case after Comey confronted her about a secret June 2016 meeting she had with former President Bill Clinton — five days before his wife was scheduled to be interviewed by the FBI. (Hillary was cleared three days later.)

There are also concerns, raised by a New York Times report, that Lynch privately assured the Clinton campaign she would keep FBI agents in check and wouldn’t let their investigation “go too far,” according to a message the FBI intercepted involving then-Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

The finding will be, they cannot find intent to break the law and thus, no culpability for criminal behavior. However, for Trump, they cannot find a criminal act, but there is made up intent and thus he is guilty and should be impeached and replaced by Hillary because the Russians messed with the elections. Crazy right? Some on the looney left are saying that exact thing.

"And now the Senate will investigate Team Obama for obstruction of justice"

Can someone ask her if Deleting classified Emails is a felony?

 

[Mr. terzmo]

My experience with classified material is documented training classes on how to handle classified material. Whether a document is marked classified; if a person suspects it is,then it is treated as such and delivered to the proper agency to determine classification. The hag lied ,she knew what was/is classified and how to handle it. Also,as a side note, a message may be classified but the receiver must also "have a need to know" . Classified material cannot be discussed between offices unless both parties have a "need to know"

State Dept Can’t Find Evidence Hillary Was Trained To Handle Classified Documents
A senior Department of State official claimed there is no documentation showing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ever received training in the proper handling of classified materials, according to a June 30 Department of Justice filing in U.S. District Court.

The disclosure could buttress FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before a congressional committee that Clinton was perhaps not “sophisticated enough” to understand that the marking “C” on an email meant it was a classified document.



“It’s an interesting question whether she was sophisticated enough to understand what a C in parens means,” Comey said before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Wednesday. “It’s possible—possible—she didn’t understand what a (C) meant when she saw it in the body of the email like that.”

Well at least we know it was in good hands on Weiner's computer. Government related State Dept email's with a mix of a Pedophile's pictures is always a good mix. Must be just fine with Comey and Lynch.

If that's the case, whoever got her her clearance (without the training) should be prosecuted. Also, anyone in their chain of command that pressured them do give it to her.

I bet she acknowledged that she understood how to handle classified material as a senator.

Good point

 

[Mr. terzmo]

I bet she acknowledged that she understood how to handle classified material as a senator.

If she was documented for training as a senator...it would also apply to any other position ; except being on her knees
