The FBI criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server she kept in her private home during her tenure as secretary of state, is rapidly reaching its conclusion with daily leaks that strongly suggest there will be a recommendation for indictment by FBI Director James Comey. On Saturday, Bush administration Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence General Jerry Boykin said that Hillary Clinton posting the names of CIA-protected intelligence agents on her private email server means that she must be indicted. An indication that Hillary’s flippant comments to the media concerning the FBI investigation as a “security probe” is far worse than anyone in the Clinton campaign feared.
Boykin, speaking on Breitbart News on Sirius/XM Patriot Channel 125 Saturday with host Matthew Boyle, said “What Hillary Clinton has done, I can tell you, it is punishable by jail time. I think ultimately she’s going be indicted. She has to be. This cannot stand."
Breitbart News had earlier reported that Clinton exchanged numerous names marked by the federal government with “B3 CIA PERS/ORG” redactions. These are used to protect intelligence sources and methods in accordance with the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949. Clinton’s sharing of those names on her non-secure private server could result in the FBI recommending indictment against Clinton for violating the Espionage Act.
So what would a recommendation for indictment by the FBI mean for Hillary, and better yet, the Democratic National Committee? First and foremost, it would almost be a certainty Clinton would bow out as the nominee of her party. That would lead to a Chicago-style 1968 convention full of anger and discourse over who would replace her.
There is little doubt that the feisty Bernie Sanders will claim the nomination considering he won at least 22 state primaries and had the second most votes to Clinton. But will the DNC agree to endorse an avowed socialist who would beat heavy odds to win the White House?
For those still skeptical about the dire future for Hillary should listen to Boykin. “The lives that have been endangered, look, most people think that are sources are compromised by spies. No. Our sources can be compromised by the mishandling of classified information that gives China and Russia and even North Korea access through cyber-attacks to the names of the people that are helping us and the sources and methods that we’re using to get that intelligence. People can be killed as a result of that!”
He went on to cite various spy stories in American history, including the case of CIA operative Aldrich Ames, who was jailed for espionage for turning on the U.S. and spying for the Soviets. “You look at the number of people that actually died as a result of that being compromised? This is really no different. It was not a spy case but it was still the mishandling of classified information that has exposed them and put them in great jeopardy," Boykin said.
Hillary-backers will say, “Oh, Boykin worked for Bush; he’s a Republican." It is one thing to distrust gloom and doom from obvious sources hostile to Clinton, but what Americans need to pay attention to what those responsible for the country’s secrets past and present say about the dangers Hillary’s actions caused. We’re talking lives of patriotic Americans who have given their lives through Hillary’s arrogance and her “above the law” attitude.
