VIOLATIONS to US CRIMINAL LAWS by HILLARY CLINTON
INTRODUCTION
If we are a
nation “of laws, not of men”, then
Ms. Clinton will be prosecuted, at
least through the grand jury stage, on (at least) those grounds. The decision regarding her innocence or guilt will be made by
jurors, not by the broader
public - and also not by the nation’s Executive: the President and his
appointed Administration. That is what
it means for a government to be a functioning democracy. Any government which violates this
principle - that it is “of laws, not of men [including women]” - is not functioning as a democracy: it’s something else. http://www.zerohedge.com/

When the Obama
Administration, on July 5th, ruled that in regard to Hillary Clinton’s
privatized email system while she was Secretary of State, "Our judgment is
that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case” to a grand jury, because “We cannot find a case that would support bringing
criminal charges,” they ignored the
following six U.S. criminal laws, each of which undeniably describes very well
what she did:
18
U.S. Code § 2232 — Destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure
(a) Destruction or Removal of Property To
Prevent Seizure
Whoever, before, during, or after
any search for or seizure of property by any person authorized to make
such search or seizure, knowingly destroys, damages, wastes, disposes of,
transfers, or otherwise takes any action, or knowingly attempts to
destroy, damage, waste, dispose of, transfer, or otherwise take any
action, for the purpose of preventing or impairing the Government’s
lawful authority to take such property into its custody or control or to
continue holding such property under its lawful custody and control, shall
be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
(b) Impairment of In Rem Jurisdiction
Whoever, knowing that property is
subject to the in rem jurisdiction of a United States court for purposes
of civil forfeiture under Federal law, knowingly and without authority from
that court, destroys, damages, wastes, disposes of, transfers, or otherwise
takes any action, or knowingly attempts to destroy, damage, waste, dispose
of, transfer, or otherwise take any action, for the purpose of impairing
or defeating the court’s continuing in rem jurisdiction over the property,
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or
both.
18
U.S. Code § 1512 — Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant
(c) Whoever corruptly
(1) alters, destroys,
mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do
so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for
use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs,
influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,
shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
18
U.S. Code § 1519 — Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in
Federal investigations and bankruptcy
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys,
mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any
record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct,
or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter
within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any
case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such
matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than
20 years, or both.
18
U.S. Code § 2071 — Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
(a) Whoever
willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or
destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and
carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other
thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the
United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public
officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than three years, or both.
(b) Whoever,
having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper,
or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes,
mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under
this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall
forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the
United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include
the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of
the United States.
18
U.S. Code § 641 — Public money, property or records
Whoever embezzles, steals,
purloins, or knowingly converts to his use, or the use of another, or without
authority, sells, conveys or disposes of any record, voucher, money, or
thing of value of the United States or of any department or agency thereof,
or any property made or being made under contract for the United States or any
department or agency thereof, …
Shall be fined not more than
$10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years or both. …
18
U.S. Code § 793 — Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information …
(f) Whoever, being entrusted
with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code
book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint,
plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to
the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be
removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in
violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or
destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally
removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in
violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails
to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to
his superior officer —
Shall be fined not more than $10,
000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. (g) If two or more
persons conspire to violate any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the
conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy, shall be subject to
the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such
conspiracy.
Those laws are consequently null
and void, by Executive action. When Congress (which is supposed
to be the Legislative branch of the government) passed those laws, what
were they describing, if not this? Of course, they did describe there what
Clinton has, in fact, done.
If we are a nation “of laws,
not of men” (as that old basic description of democracy phrased
it), then Ms. Clinton will be prosecuted,
at least through the grand jury stage, on (at least) those grounds. The decision regarding her innocence or guilt will be made by
jurors (first by the grand jurors, of course, and if they find there
to be a case, then by a trial jury), not by the broader public - and also not
by the nation’s Executive: the President and his appointed Administration. That is what it means for a government to be a
functioning democracy. Any government which violates this principle
- that it is “of laws, not of men [including women]” - is not functioning as a democracy: it’s something else.
In addition to these criminal laws, there are also federal regulations against these matters,
but violations merely of federal regulations (such
as these) are far less serious than are actions that
violate also federal criminal laws (such as the six laws that are listed
above).
She isn’t even being
sanctioned for the violations the the State Department’s own regulations (or
“rules”).
This is not a partisan issue. I was until recently an active Democrat, and I joined
with millions of other Democrats who expressed condemnation when George W. Bush
was allowed to get away with many severe crimes (such as this) while he was in office; and one of the reasons
why I was trying to find someone to contest against President Obama in
Democratic primaries for the 2012 Democratic Presidential nomination was that
Obama had refused to prosecute his predecessor’s crimes against this nation.
But now this same Obama is nullifying at least these six laws in order to win
as his successor Hillary Clinton, who surely will not prosecute Obama
for his many crimes (such as this and this) while he has been leading this nation and destroying our democracy.
I parted company from the
Democratic Party when I gave up on both Parties in 2012 as they and the
government they operate have been since at least 1980 — not at all democratic, but instead
aristocratic: holding some persons to be above the law (that researcher
there called the U.S. an “oligarchy,” which is simply another word for the same
thing — rule by the top wealth-holders, not by the public: not a
“democracy").
There can be no excuse for
Obama’s depriving the public, via a grand jury decision, of the right to
determine whether a full court case should be pursued in order to determine in
a jury trial whether Hillary Clinton’s email system constituted a crime (or
several crimes) under U.S. laws. The
Obama Administration’s ‘finding’ that “clearly intentional and willful
mishandling of classified information” would need to have been proven, in order
for her to have been prosecuted under any U.S. criminal law, is a flagrant lie:
none of the above six U.S. criminal laws requires that, but the only way to
determine whether even that description (“clearly intentional and willful
mishandling of classified information”) also applies to Clinton would be to go
through a grand jury (presenting the above-cited six laws) and then to a jury
case (to try her on those plus possibly also the charge that there
was “clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified
information”). But now, those six laws are effectively gone: anyone who in the
future would be charged with violating any one of those six laws could
reasonably cite the precedent that Ms. Clinton was not even charged, much less
prosecuted, for actions which clearly fit the description provided in each one
of those U.S. criminal laws. Anyone in the future
who would be charged under any one of these six laws could prove discriminatory enforcement against himself or herself.
(In the particular case discussed there, discriminatory enforcement was ruled
not to have existed because the enforcement of the criminal law involved was
judged to have been random enforcement, but this condition would certainly not
apply in Clinton’s case, it was clearly “purposeful discrimination” in her
favor, and therefore enforcement of the law against anyone else, where in
Clinton’s case she wasn’t even charged — much less prosecuted — for
that offense, would certainly constitute discriminatory
enforcement.) So: that’s the end of these six criminal laws. The U.S. President
effectively nullified those laws, which were duly passed by Congress and signed
into law by prior Presidents
And that’s the end, the clear termination, of a governemnt “of laws,
not of men”.

OTHER FELONIES & TREASON COMMITTED BY HILLARY CLINTON
By Hardworking1
Here is a small sample of the illegal and treasonous things Hillary did as Secretary of
State:
- Did not appoint an Inspector General for the State Department while she was in office.
- Illegally used her power to facilitate hundreds of millions of questionable/illegal dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation.
- Also illegally used her power to facilitate hundreds of millions of questionable/illegal dollars going into Bill Clinton’s pockets for speaking fees and international business deals.
- Appointed an unqualified big donor to a sensitive committee.
- Refused to use State Department approved communication systems under any circumstances including using an unsecured private server in her home for all official communications.
- Everything she did was deliberate and coldly calculated to facilitate and cover up her illegal and treasonous activities regardless of the damage she did to America or how much she put America at risk.
- Obama has done what may be un-repairable damage to America economically and put us at an extreme level of risk for more and bigger terrorist attacks here and abroad.
