Contrary to rumors floating around Twitter today that some of my fellow Bernie supporters would love to see happen, Hillary is not going to face Federal Racketeering Charges. The source for this claim is US Politics 24, an occasionally updated site posting pro-Bernie pieces. But first of all, it does not attribute its claim of information. If it is a prediction, they should say so. If James Comey is to present a recommendation to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that Hillary be charged with racketeering charges, that is confidential information that is protected by law. Mr. Comey cannot disclose that information even if he were to resign for health reasons.
Secondly of all, this story conflates Hillarys emails with her work at the Clinton Foundation; these were two totally separate enterprises. Nobody is investigating Hillary over the Foundation that we know of. The only investigation that we know of involves the emails.
This site continues:
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.
While this is true, ALL the materials that Hillary allegedly mishandled were retroactively classified after the fact, meaning that she did not break the law. .......................
