Hillary Clinton Delivers Message to Trump Supporter Video ...

While the country has been fixated on Donald Trump's tormenting his Republican primary opponents and deeply concerned about the governments efforts to identify any confederates in the San Bernardino, California, killings, a team of federal prosecutors and FBI agents continues to examine Hillary Clintons tenure as secretary of state in order to determine whether she committed any crimes and, if so, whether there is sufficient evidence to prove her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

What began as an innocent Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, a D.C.-based public advocacy group promoting transparency in the executive branch, has now become a full criminal investigation, with Clinton as the likely target.

The basic facts are well-known, but the revealed nuances are important, as well. When the State Department responded to the Judicial Watch FOIA request by telling Judicial Watch that it had no emails from Clinton, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit. When the State Department made the same representation to the court -- as incredible as it seemed at the time -- the judge accepted that representation, and the case was dismissed.

Then The New York Times revealed that Clinton used a private email server instead of the governments server for all of her work-related and personal emails during her four years as secretary of state. After that, the Judicial Watch FOIA case was reinstated, and then the judge in the case demanded of State that it produce Clintons emails.

When Judicial Watch expressed frustration to the judge about the pace at which it was getting emails, the judge ordered Clinton, under penalty of perjury, to certify that she had surrendered all her governmental emails to the State Department.

Eventually, Clinton did certify to the court that she did surrender all of her governmental emails to the State Department. She did so by sending paper copies of selected emails, because she had wiped clean her server. She acknowledged that she decided which emails were personal and which were selected as governmental and returned the governmental ones to the State Department. She has denied steadfastly and consistently that she ever sent or received any materials marked "classified while secretary of state using her private server.

All of her behavior has triggered the FBI investigation because she may have committed serious federal crimes. For example, it is a crime to steal federal property. What did she steal? By diverting to her own venue the digital metadata that accompany all emails -- metadata that, when attached to the work-related emails of a government employee, belong to the government -- she stole that data. The metadata do not appear on her paper copies -- hence the argument that she stole and destroyed the government-owned metadata.

This is particularly troublesome for her present political ambitions because of a federal statute that disqualifies from public office all who have stolen federal property. (She is probably already barred from public office -- though this was not prominently raised when she entered the U.S. Senate or the Department of State -- because of the china, silverware and furniture that she and her husband took from the White House in January 2001.)

Clinton may also have committed espionage by failing to secure the government secrets entrusted to her. She did that by diverting those secrets to an unprotected, nongovernmental venue -- her own server -- and again by emailing those secrets to other unprotected and nongovernmental venues. The reason she can deny sending or receiving anything marked "classified is that protected government secrets are not marked classified.

So her statement, though technically true, is highly misleading. The governmental designations of protected secrets are confidential, secret and top secret -- not classified. State Department investigators have found 999 emails sent or received by Clinton in at least one of those three categories of protected secrets.

Back when Clinton became secretary of state, on her first day in office, she had an hourlong FBI briefing on the proper and lawfully required care of government secrets. She signed a statement, under penalty of perjury, acknowledging that she knew the law and that it is the content of emails, not any stamped markings, that makes them secret.

Earlier this week, my Fox News colleagues confirmed the certain presence of top-secret materials among the 999 emails. Intelligence from foreign sources or about foreign governments is always top-secret, whether designated as such or not. And she knows that.

As well, she may have committed perjury in the FOIA case. When the House Select Committee on Benghazi, in its investigation of her role in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, gathered emails, it found emails she did not surrender to the State Department.

Last week, the State Department released emails that give the FBI more areas to investigate. These emails may show a pattern of official behavior by Clinton designed to benefit the financial interests of her family's foundation, her husband and her son-in-law. Moreover, the FBI knows of a treasure-trove of documents that may demonstrate that the Clinton Foundation skirted the law and illegally raised and spent contributions.

Two months ago, a group of FBI agents sat around a conference table and reviewed the evidence gathered thus far. Each agent was given the opportunity to make or detract from the case for moving forward. At the end of the meeting, it was the consensus of the group to pursue a criminal investigation.

And Clinton is the likely target.

Hillary Clinton: The criminal investigation keeps moving ...

opinion By Sir Andy Chande

For the first time it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the outcome of the next US presidential election. With much uncertainty and with too many Republican candidates, one could meet with surprises. Having said this I can share with the readers my thoughts on this important and topical subject.

Firstly, the latest poll among likely Republican primary voters shows Donald Trump leading with 27 per cent support, Marco Rubio at around 18 percent, and Ben Carson and ted Cruz tied at 16 percent each. Even though some other recent polls have put Cruz ahead of Rubio, mainstream media opinion seems to be coalescing around Rubio - if only to stop Cruz, who (as an evangelical Christian) has strong appeal to the party's 'base' but none to the New York crowd.

It is, however, important not to ignore Jeb Bush (who still has pots of money) and Chris Christie (who seems to be making a modest comeback, particularly in New Hampshire). Whatever the case, Trump's lead still seems pretty solid - no matter what he says, what he does, or whom he offends.

There is certainly a compelling case to be made for a Democratic victory. They have won the White House in five of the past seven elections; and carried the popular vote in five of the past six. Control of California with its 55 electoral votes give the Democrats a head start in the Electoral College, where 270 votes are needed for victory. And then there are the upsides of the Hillary Clinton phenomenon: name recognition; a huge funding network; no serious primary challengers; popular former President as her husband; a fractious Republican field; and the chance for another historic first, the election of America's first female President.

She may be old news but she still has fire in her belly. Issues such as Benghazi and the use of private email account whilst she held public office are not likely to present any problem nor how she performed as Obama's Secretary of State.

It has not been easy in the post-Second World War Presidency for the two term incumbent to pass on to his Party control of the White House. Franklin Roosevelt, of course, succeeded himself three times; and dying in office, was succeeded by his Vice-President Harry Truman. But since the Constitution was amended to restrict a president to two terms, only once has a two-term President managed to transfer White House control to a fellow Party member. George HW Bush succeeded Reagan and was ousted after a single term.

In 2012, Mitt Romney won 59 per cent of the white vote. He won every significant white sub-group - men and women; young and old; Protestant and Catholic - and yet still lost the election.

Obama won because he was able to capture the support of African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians and four out of every 10 white voters. The traditional pool from which Republicans draw their support - older whites, blue-collar whites, married couples and rural residents - is declining.

At the end of the day state of the economy and Obama's approval rating at the end of his term will both significantly matter.

Obama's approval rating last month was 48 per cent. His help with African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters will be needed by Hillary Clinton and will no doubt be forthcoming.

To sum up, uncertainty about the outcome in 2016 abounds. Unless the Republicans can find a candidate who has the ability to transform and who can broaden the GOP's appeal, Americans will have the first female President.

OMAHA, Nebraska-- Standing alongside billionaire Warren Buffett at the Sokol Auditorium in his hometown, Clinton signaled Wednesday that she is prepared to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

"Right now, there has been too much that has led to the wealthy getting wealthier at the expense of hardworking families," Clinton said. "That's not the way we're going to keep America going and growing."

Specifically, Clinton said that her tax plan, which she is set to roll out in the new year, would build on the Buffett rule, the plan named for Buffett and proposed by President Barack Obama that would require those who earn $1 million a year pay an effective tax rate of at least 30 percent.

"I'm going to fight hard to implement the Buffett rule," she said. "I want to go even further."

Clinton has laid out a slate of policy proposals, like her plan for a national infrastructure bank, that would require significant new spending and, at the same time, Clinton has pledged not to raise taxes on any American who earns less than $250,000 a year. It's a promise that she says she is the only Democratic candidate to make.

Clinton's appearance with Buffett, who also attended a fundraiser for the candidate on Wednesday, comes less than two months before the first votes of the election will be cast next door in Iowa.

In his introduction, Warren cited Internal Revenue Service statistics that show that the incomes of the wealthiest Americans increased sevenfold between 1992 and 2012.

"The game has been stacked in their direction," he said, borrowing a metaphor that Clinton often uses on the campaign trail. "That's a primary reason...why I'm going to be so delighted when Secretary Clinton takes the Oval Office."

Buffett joked that Nebraska wouldn't be in "play" in 2016 -- it's a reliably Republican state that hasn't voted for the Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. But Buffett said it was "really important" that Nebraskans in the audience reach out to their neighbors and relatives about voting.

"Get them to the polls on Election Day," he said.

Nebraska won't hold its Democratic caucus until March 5, but there's still a good reason to campaign there now -- which former Sen. Bob Kerrey pointed out in a Bloomberg Politics article. "The Omaha media market is one third of Iowa," said Kerrey.
