Clinton hit with racketeering lawsuit over emails

The civil suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, argues that Clinton used her private emails to sell access to other officials in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation.

It alleges that, during her tenure, Clinton withheld documents requested under FOIA regarding State Department waivers given to businesses or individuals doing business with Iran, possibly undermining U.S.-imposed sanctions.

The complaint, which lists Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as defendants, alleges the Clintons sold access to other U.S. government officials in return for donations to their organization, which they concealed, allegedly, by using a private computer server for her emails operated from their home in Chappaqua, New York.

2015 doesn't look like it's getting off to a good start for the Clintons.

Wouldn't that fall under self incrimination? As for a subpoena on the server, wouldn't they need some evidence of wrongdoing for any warrant?

She violated the law using her personal email account exclusively for all official communications. .

In a column in Politico, Dan Metcalfe, a former director of the Office of Information and Privacy at the Justice Department who was responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act for the executive branch, says Clinton violated the Federal Records Act by using her personal email account exclusively for all official communications.

Dan Metcalfe is one who did and would again vote for Hillary;

So yes, Secretary Clintonâ€™s suggestion that federal officials can unilaterally determine which of their records are â€œpersonalâ€ and which are â€œofficial,â€ even in the face of a FOIA request, is laughable.

Obama can offer her protection by claiming executive privilege just by saying he sent he emails. At least they might try and pull that crap again.

Wouldn't that be implicating him in knowingly violating the law? Therefore, EP can't be used to cover criminal acts. Not that that would stop him...

It comes down to a matter of some republican having having balls to follow this mess through. Trey Gowdy might, but who knows.
