Millions of Americans have been demanding accountability for Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
And they may be on the verge of getting their wish.
Congress has requested a criminal prosecution and it has Hillary Clinton shaking in her boots.
The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee has requested the Department of Justice prosecute the company that set up and maintained Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
“Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas), chairman of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, has asked the DOJ to prosecute Platte River Networks CEO Treve Suazo for obstructing a congressional investigation into his company’s role in providing security for Clinton’s home brewed email server, which became the subject of widespread debate following revelations that it had multiple security vulnerabilities.
Smith, whose committee has jurisdiction over the investigation, said the Congress would not tolerate Platte River’s failure to comply with the investigation.
“The Committee is referring Mr. Treve Suazo, CEO of Platte River Networks, to the Department of Justice for prosecution under federal laws pertaining to failing to produce subpoenaed documents, making false statements to Congress regarding possession of documents, and obstructing Congress,” Smith said in a statement.
“Platte River Networks, a company hired by former Secretary Hillary Clinton, has deliberately withheld requested materials from the Committee and refused to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas,” Smith alleged. “With a new administration in place, I am hopeful that the Department of Justice will appropriately respond to the referral. We cannot allow companies with valuable information to stonewall us in our oversight efforts.”
Why has Platte River Networks stonewalled the investigation?
Are they protecting Hillary Clinton from further embarrassing revelations?
The answer appears to be “yes.”
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Senior congressional aides apprised of the situation said their investigation shows there is mounting evidence there were “pretty serious cyber security concerns” with Clinton’s server.
Multiple subpoenas and letters from the congressional investigation team went unanswered by Platte River, prompting Smith to refer the case to the DOJ for criminal prosecution. Congressional investigators allege that the company is guilty of failing to produce key documents, making false statements to Congress, and of obstructing the investigation into Clinton’s server.
Two other companies that were subpoenaed and investigated by the committee complied with requests for information. Only Platte River declined to help, according to committee staff.”
There are still unanswered questions as to whether foreign hackers obtained access to Clinton’s server or not.
That would have put American national security at risk.
110 emails on 52 chains contained classified information.
And some were marked “top secret”, which is our government’s highest level of classification.
And yet thanks to FBI Director James Comey, no one was held accountable in the initial investigation.
But now that Congress has requested a criminal prosecution, the gears are once again turning.
Will this prosecution hit too close to home for Hillary?
Will more of her misconduct be revealed?
We will keep you updated on any further developments in this story.
