Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, Fox News:
The FBI has expanded its probe of Hillary Clinton’s emails, with agents exploring whether multiple statements violate a federal false statements statute, according to intelligence sources familiar with the ongoing case.
Fox News is told agents are looking at U.S. Code 18, Section 1001, which pertains to “materially false” statements given either in writing, orally or through a third party. Violations also include pressuring a third party to conspire in a cover-up. Each felony violation is subject to five years in prison.
This phase represents an expansion of the FBI probe, which is also exploring potential violations of an Espionage Act provision relating to “gross negligence” in the handling of national defense information.
Section 1001 is how they got Martha Stewart. But then, she wasn’t running for president as a Democrat.
Rules and laws don’t apply to Hillary Clinton. So what if she lied to the FBI? That’s what they get for investigating her in the first place. It’s not like she said something weird about the pyramids in Egypt, or is carrying a bunch of credit-card debt, or has a weird combover. Those are the stories we need to focus on. This one is a real nothingburger.
Show ’em, Hill.
