Plea Bargain to Hillary, Noted Clinton Author Reports<\/h1>\n<h3>Will Justice Dept. reverse Comey to reopen email investigation?<\/h3>\n<p>Jerome Corsi | Infowars.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 In an exclusive telephone interview with Infowars.com, noted Clinton author Ed Klein affirmed the reliability of his source for the story he\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/Newsfront\/ed-klein-hillary-plea-bargain\/2017\/08\/08\/id\/806488\/\">published<\/a> yesterday that the Justice Dept. has reopened the investigation of Hillary Clinton\u2019s mishandling of classified information on her private email system while she was secretary of state, and is considering offering her a plea bargain if she were willing to plead guilty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Klein\u2019s reporting suggests President Trump\u2019s harsh criticism of Attorney General Sessions may have prompted the Justice Department not only to begin an investigation of criminal leaks, but also to reopen an investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s email scandal.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

insisted. \u201cThe lawyer who is my source is closer to the Clintons than anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Infowars.com asked Klein if he considered it likely Hillary Clinton would accept a Justice Department plea bargain, if one were offered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my view and in the view of my source, it is highly unlikely \u2013 almost zero \u2013 that Hillary Clinton being Hillary Clinton will accept \u2013 if it were offered, and it has not yet been offered \u2013 a plea bargain,\u201d Klein answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s just not that kind of person,\u201d he continued.\u00a0 \u201cEven though legally speaking a plea bargain might clear the decks quicker, in the sense that she would then presumably not be prosecuted for anything, she\u2019s the type of person who fights every inch of the way against every possible attack that has been launched against the Clintons for the last 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Infowars.com asked Klein if he could confirm rumors circulating in New York City that the Justice Dept.\u2019s Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn had been interviewing Clinton Foundation officials, in a yet unannounced investigation in which key Clinton Foundation operatives were being offered use immunity in exchange for testimony.<\/p>\n<p>Klein said he had no information that would confirm the Justice Department had opened up an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Infowars.com followed up by asking if a plea bargain on the email scandal mean the Justice Department would give the Clintons a pass on investigating Clinton Foundation alleged improprieties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy understand, but this is interpolation, not reporting, is that the preliminary discussion of a plea bargain would make Hillary immune to prosecution on any and all counts,\u201d Klein said, cautioning that he did not have this fully confirmed. \u00a0\u201cMy assumption is that Hillary would plead guilty on the email charges, but in return, the Justice Department would agree not to prosecute her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Klein was not sure how far a plea bargain deal would extend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the agreement not to prosecute Hillary would extend to other issues, for instance, lying about Benghazi, or doing \u2018pay-to-play\u2019 deals with foreign government or business contacts in return for contributions to the Clinton Foundation, or Bill Clinton getting these exorbitant fees as a return favor for something Hillary did as secretary of state \u2013 I don\u2019t know for sure if a plea bargain would extend this far \u2013 I assume it would, but I don\u2019t know for certain,\u201d Klein responded.<\/p>\n<p>Klein told Infowars.com that all of former FBI Director James Comey\u2019s files on the Clinton email investigation have been transferred from the FBI\u2019s headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington to the Justice Department offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a huge story and I am utterly confident of my source,\u201d Klein insisted \u00a0\u201cI have double and triple checked.\u00a0 I have used this source before on many other occasions in writing books and he\u2019s always proved totally accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klein expressed dismay the mainstream media have not picked up this story to begin querying the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy guess is the Justice Department\u2019s response would be \u2018no comment,\u2019\u201d Klein said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I\u2019m equally confident the Clintons would dismiss the entire story as without basis, but that response would be the response from the Clintons that I would anticipate.\u00a0 The Clintons lie through their teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/justice-department-offers-plea-bargain-to-hillary-noted-clinton-author-reports\/\">http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/justice-department-offers-plea-bargain-to-hillary-noted-clinton-author-reports\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80759\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
