In reply to the discussion: THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SET OF FACTS REGARDING THE HILLARY INVESTIGATION [View all]nazcalito
(3 posts)I'm a criminal defense / writs and appeals attorney with some experience in federal court and I don't see anything obviously wrong about Chetan's discussion of the statutes involved. Perhaps you might like to point out some specifics?
Assuming the reports are true that there are at least 50 FBI agents working on it, that the person who set up Hillary's server has been given immunity, and that the person who hacked Blumenthal's account has been extradited from Romania, it does seem like the U.S. government is planning to prosecute SOMEONE. Whether that someone is Clinton herself or mere underlings remains to be seen.
I have worked on large federal drug trafficking conspiracy cases and 50 agents seem like a lot to assign to one case, even a paper heavy case like this one.
