Related: About this forumIs Hillary Clinton Above the Law? by Ray McGovern April 17, 2016
"Secretary of State Clinton was harsh on subordinates who were careless with classified information, but those rules apparently weren't for her, a troubling double standard, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern."

She never apologized to Ray for the beatdown he took after turning his back to her in protest.

(84,711 posts)Thanks to Bob for his tireless work keeping us informed. Good to have background links since, hopefully, more will be exposed during this Primary that we need to refer back to.

(6,007 posts)I see you post this everywhere. I watched it. It was good, but there are some others that are incredible, but probably from sources people won't watch. I have seen some great reporting on FOX about the email scandal. Just because they are wacko doesn't mean they can't report on facts.
Anyway, this was good, and you are one thorough Dem.

(10,622 posts)Once when these same facts were true in a monarchy that made the same distinctions regarding royalty and serf classes, there were those that rebelled against such an immune royalty which were allowed to abuse the people, steal everything from them (there homes, their health, even their lives) and face no consequences. Revolutions were fought and promises were made by the victors, Promises such as the rule of law applies to all or it applies to none. Promises that now ring hollow as the champions of a fair government slowly over time devolved back into what was and what always had been, a system of an elite few above laws possessing nearly all the wealth while laws were used exclusively against their victims - the majority that go hungry and grow sick under the rule of that elite....

(1,571 posts)and it is possible. But the powerful do not let go of power. They must meet a greater power.
Another reason why incrementalism is a farce.

(25 posts)Ironically, the superdelegates were created to handle this very sort of situation - - i.e., to prevent potentially harmful or even criminal candidates from receiving the party's nomination.
Legal terms such as perjury and obstruction of justice have been openly discussed in the justice dept and in political circles. It's no surprise that Hillary has been caught lying on numerous occasions ... perjury is a type of lie.
Obstruction of justice - - that is essentially what HRC has been engaging in by preventing the FBI from conducting a timely investigation. She has done all she possibly could to obstruct the FBI investigation, i.e., slowing it to a snail's pace. Insofar as she has done this with overt support of executive department executives, this could even be construed as a kind of racketeering.
Hillary is not only a dirty campaigner, not only a turncoat, not only an unpleasant individual who draws out the worst in republican opponents (for decades), but she may also have committed impeachable offenses. If so, she will likely be notified of impeachment proceedings on day 1 of her term.
