Ed Klein: Justice Sources Say Huma May Be Forced to Testify on Hillary Emails |
2016-03-25 |
[Tea Party] Asked during a recent Democratic debate if she would step aside if indicted for mishandling classified information on her private email server, Hillary Clinton replied: "Oh for goodness ... that's not going to happen. I'm not even answering that question." Well, she better get ready to answer that question, because the investigation of Hillary's email scandal is reaching a climax. My sources tell me that the Justice Department is close to empaneling a grand jury and deciding whether to grant statutory immunity to Huma Abedin, Hillary's closest adviser. That would force Huma to testify under oath and face perjury charges and jail time if she lies. I’m also told that Hillary herself will most likely be forced to testify. That things have gotten this far in the investigation indicates that FBI director James Comey is moving inexorably toward recommending to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that Hillary be indicted. My sources say the likelihood is that Lynch will not make that decision herself. Instead, she'll probably appoint a special counsel to make the decision. That will get the Obama administration off the hook and avoid charges of a conflict of interest or, even worse, obstruction of justice. |

#5 ...Huma will cheerfully go to prison for years before she testifies. She knows waaaaaay too much about not just the Clintons but a lot of others. Mike |

#2 So who will they appoint special prosecutor? Eric Holder? |

#1 They could give immunity to Huma for a grand jury show for what she knows about Hillary, but Hillary would have to be indicted for the *ahem* alleged crimes, as the grand jury would hand up an indictment to the prosecutor. Then it is up to the prosecutor to handle the case. One hot potato. |
