...then Huff Post pulls the story an hour later. But some good soul at JPR was quick enough to get it and post it which is where I got it. And, Inquisitr is now picking up on it; http://www.inquisitr.com/3146704/hil...ering-charges/ Huffington Post ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...e-indicted-on- federal-racketeering_us_ 574af94be4b0009f3d848d20) · by Frank Huguenard · May 29, 2016 The New York Times examined ( http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us...ed-to-clinton- foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium- company.html?_r=0) Bill Clintons relationship with a Canadian mining financier, Frank Giustra, who has donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and sits on its board. Clinton, the story suggests, helped Giustras company secure a lucrative uranium- mining deal in Kazakhstan and in return received a flow of cash to the Clinton Foundation, including previously undisclosed donations from the companys chairman totaling $2.35 million. Bloomberg Politics Initially, Comey had indicated that the investigation into Hillarys home brewed email server was to be concluded by October of 2015. However, as more and more evidence in the case has come to light, this initial date kept being pushed back as the criminal investigation has expanded well beyond violating State Department regulations ( http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary- clinton-email-inspector-general-report-223553) to include questions about espionage, perjury and influence peddling. Heres 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 Hillarys 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 ( http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/hillary-clinton- emails-server-214487) and Datto, Inc ( http://www.breitbart.com/big- government/2015/10/07/i-examining-online-cloud-backups-hillary- clintons-email/). The FBI has subsequently recovered the majority, if not all, of Hillarys deleted emails and are putting together a strong case against her for attempting to cover up her illegal and illicit activities. A conviction under RICO comes when the Department of Justice proves that the defendant has engaged in two or more examples of racketeering and that the defendant maintained an interest in, participated in or invested in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce. There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise and theres no doubt that the FBI is privy to significantly more evidence than has already been made public. Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, its the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons downfall. Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan. It is a Federal Crime to negligently handle classified information under United States Code (USC) 18 section 1924 ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1924 ). It is a Federal Class A Felony under USC 18 section 798. ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/798 ) Hillary certified under oath to a federal judge that she had handed over to the state department all of her emails, which she clearly did not. In spite of her repeated statements to the effect that everything that she did with her home brewed email server as Secretary of State was above-board and approved by the State Department, the Inspector General Report ( http://static.politico.com/f3/9b/19d...2975f1e6c/oig- report.pdf) vehemently refutes this claim. Hillary refused to be interview by the Inspector Generals office in their investigation, claiming that her upcoming FBI interview took precedent but it seems more likely that Hillary is more concerned about committing perjury or admitting to anything that can be used against her in a court of law. Secretary Clinton should have preserved any Federal records she created and received on her personal account by printing and filing those records with the related files in the Office of the Secretary. At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Departments policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act. Inspector General Report Hillary Clinton is guilty of exposing classified documents to foreign governments by placing them illegally on her server, of sending and receiving classified documents and conspiring with her staff to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by avoiding the use of the State Department run servers. Some of the documents were so highly classified the the investigators on the case werent even able to examine the material themselves until they got their own clearances raised to the highest levels. While there is an excellent case to be made the Hillary committed treasonous actions, the strongest case the FBI has is charging both Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as the Clinton Foundation of Racketeering. Theres no wonder why its taken this long for the FBI to bring forward a recommendation. The rabbit hole is so deep on this one ( http://www.politifact.com/truth-o- meter/article/2016/may/12/is-investigation-hillary-clintons-emails-recap/) that it has taking dozens of investigators to determine the full extent of the crimes that have been committed. Perhaps the most interesting question here is whether or not the FBIs investigation will be able to directly link The Clinton Foundation with The Hillary Victory Fund. If this happens, the DNC itself may be in jeopardy of accusations of either being an accomplice or of being complicit in racketeering.

It was posted here this morning and then hidden.

Frank Huguenard is reportedly some kind of crackpot.

I didn't see it so I thought it was just posted or something. And generally, at least on most occasions, I tend to feel safe with an article from Huff-Po. But I was curious as to why it was pulled an hour after being posted. But as a former reporter myself, I will use caution to stuff that may not have attribution or credible sources. So I plead naivety on this piece and writer.

It's important to know about rumors, as well as well-sourced items, in this fraught environment after the OIG report, and with the FBI report pending. I certainly think she, Bill and the Foundation are vulnerable on racketeering charges--just my laywoman's viewpoint from stuff that is known--and you can sometimes learn things from odd sources, even if they are wrong or uber-partisan, even if they are propaganda. (That's why I've never put anyone on "hide" here at DU.)

Huffpo must have had a reason to pull a story this potentially huge.

I confess that I have not kept up with every in and out of the email story because I lack the technical knowledge--not that lack of knowledge impedes everyone, but I wish it did.

Funny, though, I KNOW that I had read on DU that the FBI had recovered ALL her emails. Just shows I should never believe ANYthing I read on DU. I wish I had the technical knowledge to know if recovery was not possible with some emails because something additional had been done to those emails. Any geeks, nerds or dorks--aka people who actually know stuff--who can tell us?

but the email affair will hang like an albatross around her for years no matter what happens.

The word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse.
It is an allusion to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798).

[1] In the poem, an albatross starts to follow a ship — being followed by an albatross was generally considered a sign of good luck. However, the titular mariner shoots the albatross with a crossbow, which is regarded as an act that will curse the ship (which indeed suffers terrible mishaps).

Even when they are too thirsty to speak, the ship's crew let the mariner know through their glances that they blame his action for the curse.

He feels as though the albatross is metaphorically hung around his neck - that is, when people look at him, they see him as the albatross killer and that weighs on him.

Thus the albatross can be both an omen of good or bad luck, as well as a metaphor for a burden to be carried as penance.
The symbolism used in the Coleridge poem is its highlight.[1] For example:

Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks
Had I from old and young !
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.
