Clinton, the story suggests, helped Giustra\u2019s company secure a lucrative uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan and in return received \u201ca flow of cash\u201d to the Clinton Foundation, including previously undisclosed donations from the company\u2019s chairman totaling $2.35 million.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211;Bloomberg Politics<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Initially, Comey had indicated that the investigation into Hillary\u2019s home brewed email server was to be concluded by October of 2015. \u00a0However, as more and more evidence in the case has come to light, this initial date kept being pushed back as the criminal investigation has expanded well beyond violating <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/05\/hillary-clinton-email-inspector-general-report-223553\">State Department regulations<\/a> to include questions about espionage, perjury and influence peddling.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Here\u2019s what we do know. \u00a0 Tens of millions of dollars donated to the Clinton Foundation was funneled to the organization through a Canadian shell company which has made tracing the donors nearly impossible. \u00a0Less than 10% of donations to the Foundation has actually been released to charitable organizations and $2M that has been traced back to long time Bill Clinton friend Julie McMahon (aka <strong><em>The Energizer<\/em><\/strong>). \u00a0 When the official investigation into Hillary\u2019s email server began, she instructed her IT professional to delete over 30,000 emails and cloud backups of her emails older than 30 days at both <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/www.politico.com\/story\/2015\/10\/hillary-clinton-emails-server-214487\">Platte River Networks<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0 <a

recovered the majority, if not all, of Hillary\u2019s deleted emails and are putting together a strong case against her for attempting to cover up her illegal and illicit activities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A conviction under RICO comes when the Department of Justice proves that the defendant has engaged in two or more examples of racketeering and that the defendant maintained an interest in, participated in or invested in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce. \u00a0There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise and there\u2019s no doubt that the FBI is privy to significantly more evidence than has already been made public.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). \u00a0As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, it\u2019s the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons\u2019 downfall. \u00a0Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. \u00a0The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It is a Federal Crime to negligently handle classified information under <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/18\/1924\">United States Code (USC) 18 section 1924<\/a>. \u00a0It is a Federal Class A Felony under <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/18\/798\">USC 18 section 798.<\/a>\u00a0 Hillary certified under oath to a federal judge that she had handed over to the state department all of her emails, which she clearly did not. \u00a0In spite of her repeated statements to the effect that everything that she did with her home brewed email server as Secretary of State was above-board and approved by the State Department, \u00a0the <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/static.politico.com\/f3\/9b\/19d29ab14abeb4a30ca2975f1e6c\/oig-report.pdf\">Inspector General Report<\/a>\u00a0vehemently refutes this claim. \u00a0Hillary refused to be interview by the Inspector General\u2019s office in their investigation, claiming that her upcoming FBI interview took precedent but it seems more likely that Hillary is more concerned about committing perjury or admitting to anything that can be used against her in a court of law.<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><em>\u201cSecretary Clinton should have preserved any Federal records she created and received on her personal account by printing and filing those records with the related files in the Office of the Secretary. \u00a0At 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\u2019s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>&#8212; Inspector General Report<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Hillary Clinton is guilty of exposing classified documents to foreign governments by placing them illegally on her server, of sending and receiving classified documents and conspiring with her staff to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by avoiding the use of the State Department run servers. \u00a0Some of the documents were so highly classified the the investigators on the case weren\u2019t even able to examine the material themselves until they got their own clearances raised to the highest levels.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While there is an excellent cast to be made the Hillary committed treasonous actions, the strongest case the FBI has is charging both Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as the Clinton Foundation of Racketeering. \u00a0There\u2019s no wonder why it\u2019s taken this long for the FBI to bring forward a recommendation. \u00a0The <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/o\/bERJ6\/www.politifact.com\/truth-o-meter\/article\/2016\/may\/12\/fbis-investigation-hillary-clintons-emails-recap\/\">rabbit hole is so deep on this one<\/a> that it has taking dozens of investigators to determine the full extent of the crimes that have been committed. \u00a0 Perhaps the most interesting question here is whether or not the FBI\u2019s investigation will be able to directly link The Clinton Foundation with The Hillary Victory Fund. \u00a0If this happens, the DNC itself may be in jeopardy of accusations of either being an accomplice or of being complicit in racketeering.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>___<br \/>\n<a
