FBI's Top Lawyer Thought Hillary Clinton Should Be Prosecuted Over Email Crimes, But Was Talked Out Of It
Well, sure -- I mean, except for the FBI's own top lawyer. Turns out "A Higher Loyalty" refers to Hillary Clinton.Ah yes, intent -- something the law does not require to be proven. Something Comey straight-up invented as a Double Secret Probation Element of the Crime only for Hillary Clinton.
For most of the past three years, the FBI has tried to portray its top leadership as united behind ex-Director James Comey's decision not to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for transmitting classified information over her insecure, private email server. Although in the end that may have been the case, we now are learning that Comey's top lawyer, then-FBI General Counsel James Baker, initially believed Clinton deserved to face criminal charges, but was talked out of it "pretty late in the process." The revelation is contained in testimony Baker gave to House investigators last year. His testimony has not been publicly released, but I was permitted to review a transcript. During questioning by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), Baker was unequivocal about his early view that Clinton should face criminal charges. "I have reason to believe that you originally believed it was appropriate to charge Hillary Clinton with regard to violations of law -- various laws, with regard to mishandling of classified information. Is that accurate?" Ratcliffe, a former federal prosecutor, asked Baker. Baker paused to gain his lawyer's permission to respond, and then answered, "Yes." He later explained why he came to that conclusion, and how his mind was changed: "So, I had that belief initially after reviewing, you know, a large binder of her emails that had classified information in them," he said. "And I discussed it internally with a number of different folks, and eventually became persuaded that charging her was not appropriate because we could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that - -we, the government, could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that -- she had the intent necessary to violate (the law)."

I really think the Deep State would have been frightened into submission had they seen Hillary be prosecuted.
I don't think she would have actually gone to prison (although she deserved it) but just having to spend 7 figures on a legal defense would have scared many of these people to fall in line.

Well, not exactly.. the prosecutors at the DoJ would not bring a case to court unless they thought they could win it.
Any prosecutor anywhere will tell you that.
So.. if they couldn't prove she wasn't just an incompetent, a jury - even a single juror - would give her a pass.

"Intent" doesn't matter with classified info, everyone knows that and we're AGAIN in that fantasy universe where things like Rosenstein being the one who recommended Comey be fired just seem to be eliminated from world consciousness, BUT the "intent" was to circumvent government record keeping laws, so AT A MINIMUM she was guilty of that.
We're supposed to believe that she had no idea that she was supposed to use govt servers and if so why destroy her devices?

And the foundation is required to have an audit as a matter of course. CF just skipped those ... and Big Players that donated money also are required to be sure they are giving to a legit charity ... they did not do such fiduciary duty. This would normally put many BigMoney players in big trouble ... but it was The Clinton mafia ... running the show in DeepState. (or part of the show, at least)
So many frauds over the years, so many times evidence magically disappeared ... and that is not the only far left foundation/charity plotting our demise. Soros just gave $18B to his ...

But, Comey circulated a memo early in the investigation to other top brass, that was a draft of his "no reasonable prosecutor" argument on cutting her loose.
If it was after that, Baker must have missed that memo completely, or he's bullshitting to make himself look better - "I really wanted to go after her, but I was talked out of it at the last minute. Dang! Shoulda gone with my gut! Oh, well..."

Misdirection if you ask me. There was no debate about whether they were going to charge her or not. The debate was how are we going to cover up this gigantic mess. Do a walk away press conference, or bring charges and then drop them in a sort of plea agreement that I won't do anything like that again . . .

Just by virtue of having her own private server, she did not necessarily break laws... policy, yes.
Did she break the Federal Records act? She, personally, probably did not, but others did, by not preserving all records. I bet she shielded herself enough so as to have plausible deniability. "Wiped it? Like with a cloth?"

I think it is the end of this chapter of the coup attempt. It will come out swinging about how bad (but not culpable for anything) Orange Man is and then deep state will pivot to something else. I have no idea what that something else.
The report will be the end of this chapter and will have done its job of deflecting away from Obama's misconduct. The next chapter will probably be a doozy.

I will say this: Two years ago, when they were coming after Trump from INSIDE the government, it sure looked like the roaches were legion, that they were everywhere, and everybody, and there was going to be no way to figure out who they were and where they were and what they were up to.
Turns out it was actually a rather small number of roaches, scurrying around, doing most of the damage, and even if NONE of them are ever prosecuted, we now know who they are. I don't think there are any secrets of any significance that hasn't been revealed.

It wouldn't have mattered if Hillary had written and signed a memo to everybody at DOJ stating explicitly "it was my specific intention to violate federal laws regarding the handling of classified material," the FBI still would not have recommended prosecuting her, and the DOJ still would not have prosecuted her.
They cared far more about their own careers and feathering their own corrupt nests than they cared about enforcing the law, or doing their jobs, or upholding their oaths, or simple fairness, or protecting the country.

I doubt it. They picked it up off the fax, but whoever scanned it in had password access to a secure system, printed it and scanned it in. It's even odd that Hillary didn't at least handle the secure stuff on her secure system while doing her wheeling and dealing on her own server. Unless, of course, you were sharing classified data with people that she didn't want a record of getting it like Blumenthal or Russians.
Did they investigate who she sent classified documents to? And who those people sent it to? Anybody could get it since it was unsecure, but who was she purposefully communicating it to and what were they thinking of getting classified data on their accts, were their accts secure?

Short of some egregious scandal actually getting traction and causing a lot of these corrupt shitstains to be driven out of office, nothing changes.

With respect.
Our side, you show us a PENIS, we will admit that's a man. Not their side.
You show me evidence that Roberts had another reason for rewriting his opinion to the opposite decision 24 hours before it was released and I will entertain it.
I think its possible he was blackmailed.
I think it is also possible he thought he was doing the best possible thing by calling it a tax because then it showed the administration was lying though its teeth saying it wasn't a tax increase when it was, and thus it would have a political impact. (I think that's stupid, but possible) The thing that weighs against that, is that he would have had the opportunity to argue this logic with the other conservative judges to get them on board or not and if not convinced should not have drafted an opposite opinion. Its unusual. He changed his vote at the last possible minute.
So it is not beyond the pale to question it. He did adopt his kids from Ireland and at the time there were a lot of shady adoptions going on, and Ireland is still pissed about those things, and could make an issue.
These things, I'm saying, are not equivalencies, at all. In the face of undeniable evidence they still deny - -women have penises! In the absence of evidence to the contrary we are still question. Otherwise they get to shut us up without any evidence. Don't fall for it.

That's about twice the current rate of inflation. A windfall for landlords. If I were a landlord there, I'd take the 7%, too. Because, sooner or later, inflation will be over 7%, and I would start losing out. Rent controls are stupid, from the git-go, but if they are going to be instituted, they should be pegged at the rate of inflation.

I believe McCabe is the one leaking that Rosenstein was willing to wear a wire in talks with Trump. It was everyman for himself PDQ at DOJ. What kind of Junta fucks up a Coup? A: an FBI Junta.
Posted by: Puddin Head at February 21, 2019 01:55 PM (2LelM)
I can be persuaded that Rosenstein was a weak-willed bureaucrat who was completely outclassed by the sort of plotting that McCabe, Strozk & Co. were pulling and didn't have the courage to do the right thing, instead going in whatever direction he thought the prevailing winds were blowing.

Baker was told that by McCabe and possibly Page. They were in the room, Baker was not.
McCabe was fired from the FBI, largely due to Rod Rosenstein expediting his dismissal to beat his retirement, for lying and leaking. His a pathological liar. Page has also been forced out of the FBI for her role in the attempted coup.
There were two other people in the room and at least one of them was quoted in the WaPo as saying Rosenstein was sarcastically responding to McCabe saying something like "What do you want to do, Andy, wire the president".
Rosenstein almost immediately then appointed a Special Counsel to take the investigation away from McCabe.
McCabe hates Rosenstein and is trying to put blame on him.

Take the simple explanation: Most judges are Statists for obvious reasons, and are natural Leftists. While they may have to feign a Constitutionalist stance during their careers for electoral purposes and (R) party backing in confirmations, they remain closet Leftists.
Once they reach the federal bench / or Supreme Court (depending on level of ambition), they drop the bullshit and rule as the Leftists they are.
It's why so, so many Republican appointed judges have been raging disappointments.

But the odious part is the restriction on kicking out tenants. It basically allows tenants to have permanent residence whether they pay or not or if they destroy the property. It makes it almost impossible to evict.
As a landlord myself, I'd never put up with that and would be listing my properties asap.

Sessions did the right thing. I said it at the time and I stand by it.
There is no way in hell the Attorney General of the United States could oversee an investigation where he was a potential target. I know some people like to pretend this isn't the case but it is.
And it doesn't matter anyway. This was always going to go to a Special Counsel because of the corruption at the DOJ and FBI at the time. Hell, McCabe took out a criminal investigation of Sessions.
Sessions is a sideshow as far this investigation. The Deputy AG is not a janitor, he is the COO of the DOJ. And he did a very solid job.
Go read the article I just linked. Facts. And then make up your own mind.

Well I don't disbelieve the Roberts one. Its within the realm of what's provably been happening in DC. Maybe it was just his idea of a esoteric solution to something he viewed as more of a political issue than a legal one, but its was a weird thing to do and a weird way to do it. Pay close attention to what he does after Ruthie is gone. Close attention.
Posted by: simplemind at February 21, 2019 02:24 PM (MzKAN)
