It looks like Hillary is going to have a very full plate this week, and not with her campaign, either.
The big question, at this point, is whether the case will go to a Grand Jury, or directly to a Special Prosecutor appointed by Congress. Either way, Hillary Clinton and her ‘aide’ Huma Abedin are likely to be wearing orange before election day, on charges of Racketeering, Espionage, Perjury, and possibly even Murder.
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States Federal Law passed in 1970 that was designed to provide a tool for law enforcement agencies to fight organized crime. RICO allows prosecution and punishment for alleged racketeering activity that has been executed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
Activity considered to be racketeering may include bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, embezzlement, illegal gambling, kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other nefarious business practices.
Initially, Comey had indicated that the investigation into Hillary’s home brewed email server was to be concluded by October of 2015. However, as more and more evidence in the case has come to light, this initial date kept being pushed back as the criminal investigation has expanded well beyond violating State Department regulations to include questions about espionage, perjury and influence peddling.
Here’s what we do know. Tens of millions of dollars donated to the Clinton Foundation was funneled to the organization through a Canadian shell company which has made tracing the donors nearly impossible. Less than 10% of donations to the Foundation has actually been released to charitable organizations, and $2M of that has been traced back to long time Bill Clinton friend Julie McMahon (aka The Energizer).
When the official investigation into Hillary’s email server began, she instructed her IT professional to delete over 30,000 emails and cloud backups of her emails older than 30 days at both Platte River Networks and Datto, Inc. The FBI has subsequently recovered the majority, if not all, of Hillary’s deleted emails and are putting together a strong case against her for attempting to cover up her illegal and illicit activities.
A conviction under RICO comes when the Department of Justice proves that the defendant has engaged in two or more examples of racketeering and that the defendant maintained an interest in, participated in or invested in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce.
There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise and there’s no doubt that the FBI is privy to significantly more evidence than has already been made public.
Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, it’s the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons’ downfall.
Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan.
It is a Federal Crime to negligently handle classified information under United States Code (USC) 18 section 1924. It is a Federal Class A Felony under USC 18 section 798. Hillary certified under oath to a federal judge that she had handed over to the state department all of her emails, which she clearly did not.
In spite of her repeated statements to the effect that everything that she did with her home brewed email server as Secretary of State was above-board and approved by the State Department, the Inspector General Report vehemently refutes this claim.
Hillary refused to be interview by the Inspector General’s office in their investigation, claiming that her upcoming FBI interview took precedent but it seems more likely that Hillary is more concerned about committing perjury or admitting to anything that can be used against her in a court of law.
Additionally, Hillary and Huma Abedin are both likely to be hit with espionage charges for communications with known terrorist organizers within the Muslim Brotherhood. The largest implication here is that committing espionage while in an office of Trust within the United States Government [Secretary of State] constitutes a Prima Fascie Case of Treason which the FBI and State Department cannot ignore.
This case is still developing, and I expect that we will see additional information coming out from the FBI and State Department Inspector General’s Office, throughout next week.
If this doesn’t classify as an ‘October Surprise’, then I don’t know what possibly could. The wheels are coming off of Hillary’s campaign before our eyes.
The implications are massive, including an elevated risk that terrorist cells of the Muslim Brotherhood will be activated, before the FBI and DHS can reposition or prepare assets in response to the information passed by Abedin to Muslim Bortherhood leadership overseas…

Funny side note -- as I wrote this article, the song “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” from the Wizard of Oz would not stop running through my mind.
I really hope this is will happen. But in the back of my mind a voice keeps saying, what happens if Hilary goes to jail. What is behind the curtain.
This is, indeed, a legitimate question, Tom. Such a scenario opens a door into murky unknown spaces, ensconced within the system designed to ensure an orderly and peaceful transition of power.
We should not expect an orderly or easy transition this time around. I would premise that, regardless of who claims victory, we shall find that both candidates have a lot of supporters willing to take to the streets to press the issue outside the voting booth.
Violence is highly likely, and the scope of it is beyond any rational capacity to anticipate, because what happens will be the product, not of reason, but of strong sentiment, even stronger ideology, and an unending flow of bitter vitriol and inflammatory rhetoric coming from both sides, and much of it from the extreme fringes of the political spectrum.
If the conflict spreads too far, and becomes too hot, then it may grow into a self-sustaining blaze which will live on well beyond inauguration day. It may, in fact, permanently alter the composition and disposition of our society.
This change could take any one or more of numerous forms, from secession, to local or even regional insurrection, or even establish the critical mass necessary to precipitate a civil war.

The wheels on the bus go
’round and round
’round and round
…all through the town.
Clinton has been thrown under those wheels,
and now the question is --
How many of the left’s ‘Main Street minions’
will accept this sudden change of political reality;
and how many will take to the streets
and raise hell in protest against
this decision by the elite --
to abandon the candidate
they have spent the last two years
building up in the eyes
of the leftist voters?
We’re about to witness the most contested
election in modern history.
And this contest will *not* be fought
in the halls of power, nor in the media,
but in the streets of downtown America.
Does anyone imagine that #BLM will stand down quietly and accept this turn of fate?
Or that the Muslim Brotherhood in America will simply accept the destruction of their patron and protector?
Or that the millions of illegals who were counting on a Clinton Amnesty will simply keep their heads down and wait another four years?
Or that the radical homos will sit quietly sobbing in front of their televisions on election day?
Not a chance.
In shattering the ‘rainbow coalition’ which was built around Candidate Clinton, the corporate elite have chosen to release the Krakken.
Even though it will cause substantial disruption to American society, the elite have decided that this is less of a problem for them, than continuing to back Hillary would have caused them.
Their decision is a selfish one -- they do not care about the consequences for we the “dirt people” across the nation. All that matters to them is the continued prosperity and control they enjoy over Cloud City.
Ugliness shall ensue. The elite will spend the next 9 days preparing for it.
I heartily suggest that you do the same…

I consider HRC as Satan’s Sister. Any democrat that follows this woman into the fire shall surely perish.
Any one that claims to be a democrat has a lot to answer from.
