Should Hillary Be Charged With Espionage ???

That appears to be the recommendation of former CIA officer and whistle blower Jack Kiriakou:

Hillary Clinton should be charged with espionage. Not really. And I don't think she will be. But if the Obama administration is going to be consistent in its treatment of those who leak classified information, Clinton ought to face charges under the Espionage Act.


The Espionage Act was written in 1917 to combat German saboteurs during the First World War. Between 1917 and 2008, it was used three times to charge Americans who had passed classified information to the press. Since Barack Obama became president, however, his Justice Department has charged eight Americans with espionage. I know. I'm one of them. And none of us gave classified information to a foreign government. In fact, most of us were whistleblowers, exposing evidence of government waste, fraud, abuse, or illegality.

I think that would be a good place to start, to be followed by war crimes charges against her so-called husband Bill, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions.


Update: Apparently Senator Grassley is fed up with Hillary's mishandling of Top Secret material:


In a “serious risk” to national security, Hillary Clinton gave her State Department emails containing Top Secret and other classified information to her lawyer, who lacked sufficient clearances to possess it and who kept it for as long as eight months, the Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee charged Tuesday.


In a letter to her successor Secretary of State John Kerry, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said when she turned over thumb drives containing her official emails to her lawyer, “it appears Secretary Clinton sent (Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information) to an unauthorized person.”

Grassley, who has sent multiple demanding letters in the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private email server, said: “The transmission of classified material to an individual unauthorized to possess it is a serious national security risk (and) it raises legitimate questions as to whether the information was properly secured from foreign governments and other entities.”

My take on this as a former classified material custodian is that Hillary appears to have had little or no regard for either the law or national security itself. Her first and only priority has been her own interests. She is not fit to hold any federally recognized position except that of "convicted felon".
