Now that it’s been confirmed that Hillary Clinton will not be ascending to the most powerful office in the world, she has to concern herself with a possible descent to a federal prison cell.
Of course FBI Director James Comey said publicly that the new emails found on disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner’s computer would not change his opinion on whether or not the Democrat nominee and presidential also-ran (God, does it feel good to say that) should be charged with a crime for mishandling classified information.
However, a new report in The Daily Caller indicates that Comey may have stood in the way of a full investigation of Clinton’s private email server, so things might change if Trump appoints an independent prosecutor, as he has said he would.
“This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have convened but was not. That is appalling,” a special agent told an intermediary who gave the transcript to The Daily Caller. “We talk about it in the office and don’t know how Comey can keep going.”
He also found it curious that no search was carried out on the Clintons’ house.
“We didn’t search their house. We always search the house. The search should not just have been for private electronics, which contained classified material, but even for printouts of such material,” the agent said.
“There should have been a complete search of their residence,” he continued. “That the FBI did not seize devices is unbelievable. The FBI even seizes devices that have been set on fire.”
Another agent said, “The idea that (the Clinton email case) didn’t go to a grand jury is ridiculous.” He also took umbrage at Comey’s use of the words “we” and the expression “I’ve been an investigator” when describing the Clinton probe in testimony and statements.
“Comey was never an investigator or special agent. The special agents are trained investigators and they are insulted that Comey included them in ‘collective we’ statements in his testimony to imply that the SAs agreed that there was nothing there to prosecute,” the agent said. “All the trained investigators agree that there is a lot to prosecute, but he stood in the way.”
Joe DiGenova, a Washington, D.C., attorney, also predicted more stories like these if Congress decides to subpoena agents to testify when Congress comes back into session.
We may have dodged one of the biggest constitutional bullets of all time by having Hillary Clinton lose and lose decisively. After all, from the look of things, this is someone who would be facing a Watergate-like investigation as soon as she was inaugurated. Thankfully we don’t even worry about that. Even more thankfully, we have a president who will still press for an investigation.
