Judge Andrew Napolitano wishes the Department of Justice would hurry up and bring charges against Hillary Clinton already.
Yesterday, almost a dozen Republican congressmen signed a criminal referral asking the DOJ to launch new investigations into a host of former Obama officials and other fresh GOP foes. Clinton is the prime target of the referral, though the GOP is also demanding probes on figures like Loretta Lynch, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe. In terms of whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions will take action, Napolitano joined Fox & Friends on Thursday to say I wish he would.
The evidence of Mrs. Clintons guilt of espionage, failure to safeguard state secrets thats the 22 or 23 top secret pieces of information that were on her private server the failure to do that, the evidence of guilt is overwhelming.
Napolitano went on to talk about the serious felonies on [Clintons] part and how she shouldnt be immune from prosecution. He also said that Comey has undermined his rationale for not bringing charges against her over the course of his ongoing media tour.
In the end, however, Napolitano says he doubts the DOJ will go after Clinton contrary to all reason.

It's a safe bet Napolitano will not be called out over this statement five or ten years down the road.

They "know" she's guilty guilty GUILTY of the constant stream of things they've accused her of, and, like Dirty Harry, there's nothing they hate more than crooks "getting away with it".
Actually proving an "it" is superfluous to them.

(4,533 posts)Gorsuch just joined 4 liberals to block a deportation because the statute was too vague to give fair warning of what was outlawed. The Espionage Act faced that same problem in a case before the Supremes in 1941. The Espionage Act punished release of information related to national defense, a vague standard. Is pistachio output related to national defense? Maybe, in the economic output supports military spending. To avoid that defense by someone who sold information to a foreign country the court held that because the defendant got paid by foreign military interests he had to know his leak related to national defense. After Gorin no one was convicted of violating the Espionage Act unless the intended the information to go to an unauthorized recipient. The statute has the words gross negligence as sufficient for guilt but without actual intent the law fails as too vague. A vague law can be interpreted many different ways meaning it fails to satisfy the due process of law requirement. Due process of law requires fixed knowable rules.
That is why Comey said no reasonable prosecutor would charge Hillary. Scalia, replaced by Gorsuch, took this view about the problem of vague criminal statutes so it is fitting Gorsuch took the same view this week. Without actual intent Hillary can not be convicted. The examples of others prosecuted without intent? They were charged with a different law, one in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Hillary is not in the military so that law does not apply to her.
