I was just a wee tiny Lad when our Vice President, Spiro T. Agnew, was prosecuted for crimes and pleaded "No Contest" and was convicted, although I think he was given probation or something.
Few people want to see Hilary serve time in prison, but a good stiff sentence of probation and community service is what she needs, and this is why.
Forget about the FBI's phony "investigation" of her. That was a sham. They were brought to heel by the Attorney General. If Trump's team decides to have a real investigation the evidence will cause her to seek a plea. And like Spiro T. Agnew she will probably plead "No Contest."
This is what she did:
When she became Secretary of State she was instructed as to the secure communications systems everyone uses. She was told that enormous effort goes into making it secure, and it's security is so important that it has been made a crime to conduct government business on anything else. She must use this. She must not use anything else. And there is another reason in addition to security. Other government officials NEED to be able to have access to her emails. That is also so important that it has been made a matter of criminal law. She must be supervised. She must NOT operate in secret. Other officials need to be able to watch what she is doing and what she says. That is absolute.
She listened to all these instructions and laws and then said, "Fuck You. I don't wanna. I'll do whatever the fuck I like. No one's gonna tell me what to do. I don't want anyone looking into what I am doing or saying to anyone."
So she hired someone to set up her own personal internet server and put it IN A CLOSET IN THE BATHROOM IN HER HOUSE.
Oh yeah that's really smart. Like most dishonest crooks Hilary was a stupid crook. She had no fucking idea what the internet was or how email works. All she knew is that she wanted to use it and she didn't want anyone looking at what she was doing.
What she didn't grasp was that her personal server had no security. None. Any hacker and every government who wanted to could just hack into her server and see everything. The NSA did just that. So did various foreign governments and individuals and we will never know because they leave few if any tracks behind.
So when years later she receives a demand from the Congress to turn over emails from her server she erases the emails. Then she lies about what they contained. She appears before Congress under oath and she lies and lies and lies. Then she's questioned by the FBI and she lies and lies and lies. She is caught. She is busted. And being that the President has to power to block any prosecution of her she feels safe she won't be held accountable. She is above the law.
She didn't have to lie. All she had to do was plead the 5th. She knew she might have violated laws, and was under no obligation to answer incriminating questions. When she appeared before Congress and testified about what was on the emails and how many devices she had and so forth all she had to do was plead the 5th and not answer. That would have been the normal thing to do. But it wouldn't have looked good. She was running for President. She didn't want to appear guilty by pleading the 5th over and over again.
So she lied. Just like her husband lied about Monica Lewinsky when he could have also pleaded the 5th. But he didn't want to do that. He wanted to lie.
That's why she must be prosecuted. It has to happen.
