As we continue to watch the seemingly ever-expanding information and circumstances of the Hillary Clinton “e-mail scandal”, I believe the question in the title of this post is becoming more and more relevant. And I believe this has gone far beyond a violation of the “Espionage Act” and well in to the realm of Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which is where Treason is defined. This is an ever-expanding cancer that is growing in the whole body of the US Department of State, the US Department of Justice, and possibly directly in to the White House.
Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States- 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
2: The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. (Underline added for emphasis)
In this day of “cyber warfare” and the dangers posed to the States and Citizens by mishandling data, to WILLFULLY expose the National Security secrets of the United States, to those who would do US harm, must be the exact definition of Treason as provided in Article III of the Constitution. I must ask, wouldn’t the fact she WILLFULLY was putting government secrets out in an unprotected domain be providing “Aid and Comfort” to our Enemies? If not, I have no idea of what would or could then ever reach this simple threshold in today’s World? There is little question, among experts in the cyber world, that this insecure and basically open network was accessed by some whom, to say the least, do not have our best interests at heart. This is where the FBI Director’s initial decision to not refer for prosecution because he couldn’t find intent by Madame Secretary to misuse “Confidential or Classified” information loses any credibility. There is no question that she WILLFULLY set up this insecure and unprotected e-mail server for the purpose of shielding her “personal” information from others within the federal government.
So, does this also make her and her various compatriots and assistants, to also be in direct violation of the Federal Records Act? Isn’t the law set up so as to require access to, and that the direct records and correspondences of government employees, whether on paper or electronic, are the sole property of the US Government, and in turn, We The People? I ask this in the form of a question because I don’t know for sure and hope someone will provide some clarity on this subject. To this point I have not found where anyone has disputed these questions as being answered yes, but we are open for rebuttal or discussion.
After consideration of the previously appointed subjects, does the fact that the US Dept of Justice has granted Immunity, to those who should be compelled to provide the “Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act”, potentially also make the Attorney General a Co-Defendant? Or isn’t she at least a Co-Conspirator? It needs to be understood that the FBI does not and did not grant Immunity, but that it came from the prosecutors in the Justice Department. Can anybody really believe that this whole question of Immunity would have stopped short of the Office of the Attorney General? And if the Attorney General can be proven to have acted under the direction of the President, or those in his office, then shouldn’t he too be seen as a potential Co-Defendant/Co-Conspirator?
What is most incredible to me is that the person in the center of this whole situation is one of the two major Party candidates running to be the President of the United States!? I can’t believe I’m the only one out here who is just reduced to shaking my head that the United States of America finds itself in this predicament? What’s even scarier is that, at least as of today, much of the “polling” shows that this criminal appears to be the leader in the race for the White House. I hope everybody understands that these are the conditions typically surrounding the selection of leaders of Third World “Banana Republics”, not the Most Powerful Country in the Modern World? I just hope We The People get the answer right to my opening question, “The White House or the Court House?” And I hope the final answer ends up being “The Big House”!
God Bless America! And America, Bless God Again!
