Involuntary Treason is Still Treason Under the Law - Part 2

by

      The greatest scandal in American history is unfolding, or not, before our eyes. The so-called impeachment is the latest smoke screen by a desperate coalition of party loyalists and anti-constitutionals to fundamentally change America. The Russian connection, that they paid for, has turned out to be what is was – false and they are losing control of the narrative as the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into the previous administration continues. They appear solemnly in front of cameras daily as their “secret investigation” leaks continuously from one direction. The American Constitutionalist will continue to print the facts – the truth, as difficult as it can be to differentiate from the smoke, mirrors, and outright lies being fed to the American people on a daily basis. 

     In part one we disclosed the fact that by February of 2016 it was known that 2,101 e-mails that were outside of the government's protection were retroactively marked as classified and 22 being upgraded to top secret and one of the final unclassified emails is being withheld from the public at the request of law enforcement. Was this just sloppiness or incompetence as the administration was saying or was it to intentionally allow foreign powers access to this information? Either way it is a clear violation of the Espionage Act. Whether voluntary or involuntary the Espionage Act does not differentiate. It states, "Whoever...having lawful possession or control of any… document relating to national defense…(1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from it’s proper place of custody… shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years or both."

     Between March 1st and the election in November the administration and the Democratic party went into full blown damage control to protect their now candidate for president. The cover-up began.

 

The Timeline continues

• March 2, 2016 -- Bryan Pagliano has agreed to provide an interview with investigators and accepted an offer of immunity from the FBI and the Justice Department. Pagliano is a former Clinton staffer who helped set up the private email server.

• April 10, 2016 -- Obama defends Clinton in an interview on "Fox News Sunday" but "guarantees" that he will not interfere with the ongoing investigation into her private email server.
  
• May 25, 2016 -- A State Department Inspector General report says Clinton failed to follow the rules or inform key department staff regarding her use of a private email server. The report states: "At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she "did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act."

•  June 9, 2016 -- Judicial Watch announces that State lawyers could not track which employees were conducting business on the Clinton email server.

• June 22, 2016 -- Earlier Judge Emmet G. Sullivan approved a proposal by Judicial Watch and the State Department to take depositions from current and former State Department officials. A spokeswoman for Judicial Watch says that during Bryan Pagliano's deposition, he invoked the 5th Amendment approximately 125 consecutive times. 

• June 27, 2016 -- Attorney General Loretta Lynch stated eight days earlier that the Justice Department probe into Clinton's emails was being conducted the same as similar investigations. "The investigation into the State Department email matter is going to be handled like any other matter. We've got career agents and lawyers looking at that. They will follow the facts and follow the evidence wherever it leads and come to a conclusion," she states during an interview on that Sunday. However, on this date, the AG holds a secret meeting with ex-President Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac. The meeting raised huge questions about whether the independence of the Justice Department, which was conducting the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server, had been compromised.

•  July 2, 2016 -- Clinton meets with the FBI for a three-and-a-half hour interview as part of the investigation into her use of a private email server while leading the State Department. We now know the the conclusion of the interview was decided BEFORE it took place.

• July 5, 2016 -- FBI Director James Comey states that he would not recommend charges against Clinton for her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state. However, Comey does note that Clinton and her aides were "extremely careless" handling classified information. The espionage Act is quite clear on this.

• July 6, 2016 -- AG Lynch makes it official that Clinton will not be charged for her use of a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state. There is much outrage on this pass given Clinton for this obvious violation of the act.

• July 7, 2016 -- FBI director Comey testifies before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. It doesn't go well. The same day, the State Department reopens its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server.   
  
  

      At this point damage control goes into overdrive in the attempt to save their presidential shoe-in. Clinton goes on Fox News for an interview. Clinton defends her use of a private email server. She states, "FBI Director James Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails." Even the left-leaning Washington Post Fact Checkers give her their lowest rating, four Pinocchios,(meaning a lie) for this statement.

•  August 18, 2016 -- A New York Times report reveals that Clinton told the FBI that Colin Powell recommended that she use a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.  Two days later Powell responds to the allegations that he gave Clinton the idea to use a private email account. Calling it a lie, Powell says, "Her people are trying to pin it on me."

• September 2, 2016 -- With still much uproar over the pass given to Clinton, the FBI releases its report on the Clinton email investigation.

• September 13, 2016 --Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department staffer who was involved in setting up and maintaining Clinton's private email server, refuses to appear at a hearing before the House Oversight Committee.

• September 22, 2016 -- Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee vote to hold Pagliano in contempt for failing to appear at a hearing.

• September 23, 2016 -- It is revealed that Cheryl Mills, Clinton's chief of staff and adviser at the State Department, was given a limited immunity deal by the FBI during its investigation of Clinton's private email server. The same day, the FBI releases nearly 200 pages of notes from its investigation of Clinton's private email server. These contain even more evidence of violation of the act.

• October 28, 2016 -- In a letter to Congress, Comey says the FBI is reviewing more new emails related to Clinton's time as secretary of state, according to a letter sent to eight congressional committee chairmen. The emails are discovered as part of an investigation into Anthony Weiner and were sent or received by Clinton aide Abedin.

• November 6, 2016 -- Based on a review of the newly discovered emails, Comey tells lawmakers, two days before the election, that the agency has not changed its opinion that Clinton should not face criminal charges. 

 Conclusion:

      It is obvious that Hillary Clinton, whether involuntary or not, violated the Espionage Act. Now, after three years, we now know that Barrack Obama, though his own correspondence, knew of this illegality and helped to cover it up. Also a violation of the Espionage Act.

     The American public has, for three years, witnessed the elite and the deep state by all means to attempt to get our elected President out of office as to put an end to this matter. This this so-called impeachment, this  political theater that Americans are being subjected to is a last ditch effort to put an end to current A.G. Barr's now criminal investigation into the matter. We seriously doubt that Clinton and Obama will ever be arrested or face charges as the damage to the country would be unacceptable. 

      Full blown damage control is now at hand. This morning's survey shows the media negative bias at 90-96%. The elite that control our press  are running scared. As truth emerges, they no longer have complete control over the narrative. They don't know where the chips will fall as the A.G.'s initial report is days away from release and there is a real danger to their precious politicians and to what's left of their reputation as a "free press." They also know that American Patriots are waking up and the elite are running scared
