As both
Ed and
Katie noted this morning, the
New York Post
is reporting that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ongoing,
expanded probe into Hillary Clinton's potential crimes has turned to the
question of how
extremely sensitive classified information "migrated" from secure government servers to Hillary's
improper, unsecure private server. This prohibited crossover is "
specifically forbidden,"
according to a former CIA official who recently weighed in on the
controversy, who added that there is "zero ambiguity" on this point. At
this point, we know that federal investigators are looking into
habitual, serious mishandling of classified information -- including
intelligence that rose to the levels of secret, top secret and 'beyond
top secret' (SAP). One by one, Hillary and her allies have erected
excuses for her
willful,
national security-endangering scheme; one by one,
those excuses have
crashed and burned under scrutiny. We also know that the feds
are exploring
whether Team Hillary obstructed justice to cover up her conduct, and
whether she violated anti-corruption laws in her capacity at the State
Department. Those 30,000-plus "personal" emails she unilaterally
ordered deleted may come into play on those fronts. The FBI has
reportedly
recovered the contents of those messages, several of which have already been exposed
as work-related. But where does all of this lead, from a legal perspective? Katie
touched on it
in her piece, but it's worth taking a closer look at analysis from
former federal judge and US Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who penned
a
compelling op/ed in the
Wall Street Journal over the weekend. He makes the case that based on publicly-known details alone, criminal charges are in order:
