A broken Huffington Post link circulating on social media suggested that Hillary Clinton would soon face an indictment, but the article was unvetted and did not list any credible sources.

Claim: Hillary Clinton will soon be indicted on racketeering charges.
Unproven

WHAT'S TRUE: Frank Huguenaud published an unvetted article on Huffington Post's Contributor platform claiming Hillary Clinton would be indicted on racketeering charges, an article that was soon removed from the site.

WHAT'S FALSE: No one else has reported on anything similar Huguenaud's claims, and his article provided no citations nor any credible information suggesting there was any truth to his claims.

1. He claims he has sources, but he also seems pretty nutty

So I'd err on the side of nutty for now.

8. They call him Crazy Frank on Reddit.

18. Seems like a legit guy

Seems like a legit guy.

[Scientific]

3. +1

Thank you.

[bravenak]

4. Anybody that fell for that shit is ridiculously stupid

I mean, have you seen his brand of woo before?? Too much to handle without a full foil suit.

[opiate69]

11. Almost as stupid as those who fell for the DMX story. Almost, but not quite...

That was a special kind of stoopid.

[TwilightZone]

13. "Sanders supporter admits to faking “shoot the gays” video"

http://americablog.com/2016/05/sanders-plays-kill-gays-rap-song-ca-rally.html

Nah, what's stupid is the number of people claiming that a long-term Sanders supporter who has admitted he faked the video is a Brock-paid operative of the Clinton campaign.

[opiate69]

14. Yeah.. a Sanders supporter produced it...

and then, a bunch of irretrievably stoooooopid Hillary supporters all but tripped over themselves trying to propagate it. Thus, making the Sanders supporter's point, in spades.

[azurnoir]

17. Lol Avarosis was one of folks racing to get the news out that Bernie was using homophobic music

at his rallies-the link you provided is a highly edited version of the original Avarosis story, where in he swallowed it hook line and sinker

and all the outrage about it being a Bernie supporter, well it could appear Hillary's supporters got punk'd by a guy who wanted to show that anti-Bernie scandals are the bread and butter of the Hillary campaign, but be of cheer at least he did it on a holiday weekend when fewer people are paying attention

[Tal Vez]

5. If an mid-level prosecutor in the Justice Department

thought it would be appropriate to indict a Supreme Court justice or a United States Senator, do you think that he might seek the guidance of his superiors? At what level would that kind of decision be made?

[Lord Magus]

36. At the very top, without a doubt.

Nobody below AG would be allowed to touch such a decision.

[KingFlorez]

6. Doesn't matter

Sanders stans will run with it and claim that the author is being shut down by the Clinton Machine.

[skylucy]

7. I agree. I only came here for a few minutes because it isn't good to swim around in the sewer.

After coming here, you just need to shower off and come to the HCG. Don't be too upset. Not all, but some of the posters on DU are Trumpsters.

[OhZone]

9. Yeah, like I said months before -

all BS and BSers will have are conspiracy theories.

[hrmjustin]

10. It is a shame so many here got so excited over the news.

[MyNameGoesHere]

12. Well Sanders supporters chow down red meat

As good as their political cousins do.

[JudyM]

15. Snopes doesn't call it false, I'm sure you noticed. Just unproven.

The train does seem to be leaving the station, regardless of who's aboard. Time will tell.

I for one, don't relish the thought of all the good-hearted DUers who are going to be devastated by the likely indictments. Seriously. The whole thing is just sad and IMO she and Bill have taken a helluva lot of people for a ride.

24. 15 more days nt

[emulatorloo]

32. Hi Judy. Do you have inside sources at the FBI?

If not, how do you know 'indictments are likely'?

[JudyM]

34. Reading about the facts and looking at the law. I don't have any special sources, just believe

that if justice takes its course (that's the big IF with this political milieu) it appears likely - to me.

[emulatorloo]

35. Thanks!

[beachbumbob]

19. Turns out some sanders people better at spreading the stuff better

Than glen beck...Alex jones and foxnews...

[Live and Learn]

20. Here is some more info on the claim:

http://www.globalresearch.ca/breaking-hillary-clinton-to-be-indicted-on-federal-racketeering-charges/5527829

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 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.

21. 'Cause globalresearch is the epitome of a reliable source...

22. No idea. Checked them out they seemed to be okay. Really not the point though.

I was just interested in what the claim was. Thought others might be interested. A claim is a claim and that is all it is. I like to see the claim validated or refuted with proof either way.

[LuvLoogie]

26. I have it on good authority that you cooked and ate the dog in your sig photo.

Please refute.

[emulatorloo]

28. Your author is a whackjob who thinks he invented Skype. From his website:

First, you linked to the exact same article snopes discusses. (Url is different, the article is the same)

Secondly this poor guy does not "seem ok." He seems delusional.

Frank Huguenard received a BS/CS from Purdue University in Computer Science in 1982 and has spent decades in silicon valley as a software engineer. About ten years ago, he was escorted out the door of the company he was working at cartoon porn comics by an armed guard when he was fired for inventing a product that not only contained most of the functionality of Skype, but which had features Skype still doesn't have!! All of this happened while his best friend and soul mate was losing her battle with breast cancer. Several years later, Skype was purchased for $3 Billion by EBay and Frank was still unemployed and broke. In a quest to make sense of his bewilderment, he set out on a spiritual journey to understand the nature of reality. The end result of this search has been his desire to share with the world his own new found happiness and how he went about achieving it.

Apart lesbian hentai from being founder and Executive Director of a non-profit humanitarian relief organization, The Bountiful Garden Foundation, Frank is also progenitor of Dischoops, the greatest team sport ever.

31. I didn't say the guy was okay. I said the site seemed okay to link to.

We all know the guy is a bit wacky but that doesn't mean there can be no truth to his findings.

And why bring it up now if there is no new information? You are more than a day late.

[emulatorloo]

37. Sorry, I misunderstood you.

[HeavyHemi]

25. You're just repeating the original story as written by Frank Huguenard

It's not more info.

[Demsrule86]

23. this was juried twice

The first time it was locked but of course got favorable jury the second time (Bernie supporters).Total crap. I can not wait until June 7th. I put posters who use Right wing nonsensical lies like that on ignore if they survive a jury...I never used ignore until this year.

[LP2K12]

27. I wish

DU had some sort of filter that automatically flagged RW-crap like that.

I'm a Bernie support, but I immediately called bullcrap on that when it was initially posted.

People are grasping for straws when the party needs to unite.

[emulatorloo]

30. FWIW, Skinner's says no more wingnut crap allowed in a couple weeks.

[emulatorloo]

29. You may have missed the OPs where posters admitted author was nuts but story was "true"

Ridiculous.

[Scurrilous]

33. Boink!
