Would the FBI investigate whether she was selling secrets? (Original Post) Merryland May 2016 OP
Yes, of course One Black Sheep May 2016 #1

What? You do know that they aren't giving her, or her husband, $250K for a "speech" don't you? Schema Thing May 2016 #9
Ok, and whatever else that goes along with it One Black Sheep May 2016 #12
I really don't think that is even in the realm of possibility. There was no intent to cause harm. Matt_in_STL May 2016 #3

Duly noted, and may luck be on your side. Matt_in_STL May 2016 #6
I highly doubt that she was doing that. She was more likely garnering influence and GreenPartyVoter May 2016 #4

But, that suggestion is a stretch. Hillary would not have to sell secrets to get money. She can give a speech and get a quarter million dollars.

But why keep classified information on file? From people who know the Clintons: they are ALL ABOUT money. All about it.

Maybe she just is secretive in nature, I think I read or heard that in the media before, that she is secretive about things.

I also do believe this will be juried in short order so I'd probably consider removing it.

...there is one thing to say about this ridiculous question - it identifies a crime associated with the email story. Hillary would sell US secrets to our enemies? Gee, that would be great if you're thinking about running for higher office! And, why write books or give speeches? lol...

Remember they have under subpoena the Clinton foundation and related information. I am sure that the recovered (deleted) emails and all those pesky threads like Blumenthal have been getting close scrutiny. The public corruption investigators can be thorough. Unclear what might really be there, but there do seem to be some suspicious coincidences.
