This week, three weeks before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton spent
valuable time during an appearance on Face the Nation swatting down
stories that surfaced Friday. Early on Friday morning when most Americans
are asleep, save second story men, the State Department released
thousands of Hillary’s e-mails. In one she seemed to be asking her aide,
Jake Sullivan, to send her classified information across a “non-secure”
line. That is to say, across her personal server. She was impatient to
read the e-mail’s contents and could not wait for it to be sent on a
secure line. That strikes a lot of those who follow such matters as a
clear breach of the law regarding the handling of classified information,
or perhaps I should say another clear breach of the law regarding the use
of classified information. On Face the Nation Hillary termed the growing
imbroglio a “non-issue.”

Well, as with a lengthening list of problems facing Hillary, we shall
see. On Monday the respected investigative reporter for Fox News,
Catherine Herridge, reported that “The FBI investigation into Hillary
Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look
at whether the possible ‘intersection’ of Clinton Foundation work and
State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three
intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox
News.” I sense there is going to be more of these stories.

Late last week I wrote in The American Spectator that the Federal Bureau
of Investigation was working on the indictment of Hillary. Within two
weeks to sixty days, the Bureau will recommend to the Justice Department
that Hillary and certain of her aides face charges for the way they have
handled classified information on her server. My sources tell me that the
Bureau already has the case “locked… they are building a case that is
unassailable.” And another source said the case that the FBI has built
was ready two weeks ago.

The evidence involves material from Hillary’s server that the Bureau has
gathered in the course of its months-long investigation of her and her
staff. Last week others also weighed in, most notably former prosecutor
Joseph DiGenova. From everything I can tell this story is going to get
worse for Hillary.

The charges will consist of some of the following:

1. Improper disclosure or retention of classified information.
2. Destruction of government records.
3. Lying to federal agents.
4. Lying under oath.
5. Obstruction of justice.

One source told me that “the top floor of the FBI [the leadership] is
deeply engaged in the investigation.” And another said the Bureau has “no
choice” but to ask Attorney General Loretta Lynch for indictments. The
FBI’s director James Comey has a reputation for being incorruptible. He
wanted to indict General David Petraeus on far fewer charges than his
investigators have come up with on Hillary. Now his chief of staff has
reportedly said that the Bureau plans to seek indictments of Hillary and
her aides despite the politics of the case. One source told me, “the
Bureau doesn’t care about politics.” This case is seen as a national
security matter.

If it is ignored, the fear within the intelligence community is that it
will be impossible to prosecute future defendants being charged with the
mishandling of classified information. The intelligence agencies would
mutiny if Hillary were given a pass. Said DiGenova last week, “The
intelligence community will not stand for that. They will fight for
indictment and they are already in the process of gearing themselves
basically to revolt if [the Attorney General] refuses to bring charges.”
This is apparently one of those processes that takes on a life of its
own.

Why will the indictments be recommended in the time frame I have
mentioned? Justice Department policies mandate making such decisions as
far in advance of elections as possible. If there are conflicting winds
blowing in the Bureau or DOJ, they must avoid the appearance of being
motivated by partisan politics. So sixty days is about as long as the
Bureau or DOJ can wait. On the other hand, there are those Democrats who
would like the action to begin this month. That would allow Vice
President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry to toss their hats
in the ring.

This brings to mind a curious statement by Joe Biden just the other day.
On January 7 quite out of the blue, Joe said to CNN, “I regret it every
day” — “it” being his decision not to run for the presidency. But after
saying his decision not to run was the right decision for his family, he
went on to say he would be “staying deeply involved.” What could that
mean? Does he know something that we are not to know about the doings of
the FBI… and its 150 agents now working on the Hillary case?
