Hillary’s troubles are piling up.

You can’t even keep track of these scandals anymore.

New memos presented to Congress show former FBI director James Comey initially accused ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of “gross negligence” in her handling of classified information, a crime punishable by imprisonment, according to a new report.

In an early draft statement on the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server, the FBI reportedly said there was evidence that she and her team were “grossly negligent” in handling classified information, The Hill reported Monday.

“There is evidence to support a conclusion that Secretary Clinton, and others, used the email server in a manner that was grossly negligent with respect to the handling of classified information,” the early statement said, according to multiple anonymous sources.

The statement was reportedly edited. The phrase “grossly negligent” was replaced with a less incriminating phrase, accusing Clinton and her team of being “extremely careless” in their handling of classified information.

It’s not an investigation it’s a “matter.” It’s not gross negligence it’s “extreme carelessness.”

This isn’t something game-changing here. We know already that Comey by his own admission prevented Hillary from being punished because of who she was.

The small edit has big implications, since gross negligence in handling the nation’s intelligence is a felony under federal law. Section 793 of federal states that anyone found guilty of “gross negligence” in handling the nation’s intelligence can be imprisoned for up to 10 years.

“Apparently, as of May 2016, then-Director Comey and other FBI officials believed the facts fit that gross negligence standard until later edits were made,” said Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to The Hill.

Schumer is going to throw Hillary under the bus soon. I can tell you that.

The documents were reportedly provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee over the weekend. The committee has been in charge of looking into the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe.

The sources told The Hill that three top FBI officials helped Comey write and edit the statement, including Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, General Counsel James Baker and chief of staff Jim Rybicki. However, the sources also said there was no indication of who made the changes to the gross negligence phrase.

Presumably, they all agreed on it, as using that phrase would be admitting she committed a crime. And they had already decided not to do that. The entire purpose of the statement was to absolve her of any criminal behavior.

The Senate Judiciary Committee reportedly sent a letter to current FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday, demanding the FBI to reveal who was behind the changes.

At a press conference in July 2016, Comey announced that the FBI was not supporting charges against Clinton because they did not find “clear evidence” that she had “intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information” by using a private server to transmit classified information.

Not knowing you committed a crime does not mean you did not commit one. That is the entire concept of “gross negligence.”

Intent is a factor in determining guilt, but it is not the sole factor.

Also, it is absurd to suggest that Clinton did not know that it was illegal to keep classified documents on a private server in her bathroom.

Comey specifically mentioned the FBI looked into whether Clinton and her team violated federal law “either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way,” but said they only found evidence that they were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

“Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said.

Days after making his statement, Comey testified before Congress that he did not think Clinton should be prosecuted under the law, since the FBI “did not find evidence sufficient to establish that she knew she was sending classified information beyond a reasonable doubt to meet the intent standard.”

“We don’t want to put people in jail unless we prove that they knew they were doing something they shouldn’t do. That is the characteristic of all the prosecutions involving mishandling of classified information,” Comey said.

That’s not true. General Petraeus was criminally charged for accidentally giving classified information to a woman he was having an affair with.

It is absolutely absurd that Donald Trump is still being investigated on the basis of a hoaxed document produced by Hillary Clinton herself while Comey, Clinton and the rest of these criminals wander around loose.

We need a serious investigation into the investigators here, and people need to go to prison.

Hillary’s known behaviors thus far (abridged):

  • Private email server containing classified documents
  • Deleting emails from private email server when she knew subpoena was coming
  • Scamming the DNC through a money-lending scam
  • Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scandals
  • Accepting money from Russia to transfer uranium one
  • Paying for a fake intelligence dossier and distributing it to intelligence services

Any one of these things would for a normal person result in criminal charges and prison time. I understand Hillary Clinton is not a “normal person,” but come on – surely all of these things stacked together are at least worthy of a criminal investigation.
