Hillary Clinton is above the Law!





Clinton sought secret info on EU bailout plans as son-in-law's doomed hedge fund gambled on Greece
By Peter Byrne

Published July 01, 2016
FoxNews.com

Hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky had friends in high places when he bet big on a Greek economic recovery, but even the keen interest of his mother-in-law, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wasn't enough to spare him and his investors from financial tragedy.

In 2012, Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared “protected” State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

That America’s top diplomat kept a sharp eye on intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank is not a problem. However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper. Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable.

The apple does not fall far from the tree Mezvinsky's father had problems when it came to other peoples money too and it landed him in prison. This kid fits right in with the Clinton den of thieves.

That must have put poor Hillary in quite a quandary. She is famous for yelling "Stupid Jew Bastards" and calling Jews "Kykes". Must have been intolerable to have her daughter with Webb Hubbell marry one.

The FBI pretty much admits that she is above the law , she intentionally broke the law but it was nor her intent to do so. The whole system as it stands today is corrupt.

The FBI is pretty much admitting that IT is above the law.


The Secretary of State won't even get charged for setting up a private email server and using it to send TSSCI information. Wow.

But at least Martha Stewart got some jail time for insider trading...so "the system" isn't TOTALLY corrupt.

Completely different circumstances and not at all applicable.

The official statement for those that missed it:

https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/pr...-e-mail-system

To summarize with commentary (not in order):

Quote:

From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.
Sooo... There was definitely highly classified info in the emails

Quote:

Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.
Despite the Clinton claims that "none of them were marked as classified", some actually were and even if they weren't, she should have known and protected them.

Quote:

She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.
Some of these emails were sent across hostile adversaries' network where they could be easily read.

Quote:

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
Translation: The prosecutors are in the bag so we'll just recommend against charges and put an end to a futile effort

Quote:

All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.
It seems to me that they met these criteria from their own statement

Quote:

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

It's worth noting that he did NOT take questions from the press after the statement. That's really unusual for a statement with this level of public interest.

Personally, I think they (FBI) were caught between a political hard place and a rock. If they recommend "for" then Lynch walks back her statement from the other day where she said "I expect to accept the FBI's recommendation" note she that left herself some wiggle room to ingore the recommendation if it wasn't what she expected.

Conspiracy theorists are probably correct about this one...

I guess old Web saw her coming when she jumped into bed with all the Wall Street Special Interest Groups.

At least if nothing else she successfully bridged the financial gap between the Islamic and Jewish worlds. I suppose their money is all the same.

So James Comey doesn't want to get Vince Fostered, either. Got it. Sooner or later someone is going to make it rain on the teflon bitch. I just hope hundreds/thousands of innocents aren't affected when that happens.

BuckiBill 07-05-2016 10:30

How can she be "grossly negligent" with material above Top Secret and not be charged?

This is truly the end of our America.

He should have announced it on the 4th as that could both be our Independence Day and the date of the death of our nation.

Once a person makes it to Comey's position...they either are or become a career politician. They make judgements based on politics and not the rule of law.

This is not a surprise.

That is obviously one of those laws that this administration has chosen to ignore, this is not the first time nor will it be the last. It's now up to the AG to right this whole situation.

The "rule of law" has lost it's integrity.

Divemaster 07-05-2016 12:04

If there was nothing criminal taking place, why did Brian Pagliano need a grant of immunity from the FBI in their "criminal" investigation. Why did Pagliano, and other aides, invoke their 5th amendment rights during the Judicial Watch civil case depositions? That's a lot of ass covering for simple carelessness.

Comey admits that she was grossly negligent, which is the only standard mentioned in T18, but invents a new standard not mentioned in T18 "no intent to violate the law".
We truly are a nation of men, now, not laws. If you have power and influence you have a different set of rules than the rest of us.

DJ Urbanovsky 07-05-2016 15:13

As mentioned previously here by (1VB)compforce , and of particular note, taken directly from the FBI's press release:

"From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent."

"Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it."

Bear in mind that she only turned over about half of her emails, the rest being withheld as "personal and private." So who knows what security breaches those emails contained. But just looking at the fact that 110 emails contained confidential or greater security level information at the time they were sent, and that only a small number of those did not have their security level indicators stripped from them... That alone is enough evidence that she should be prosecuted under Section 18 U.S. Code § 793...
