How Much Prison Time Hillary Faces Over Her Email Scandal

Hillary Clinton and her lackeys have voraciously denied that her homebrew email server was hacked by an outside source.

There’s a good reason for that: If it was she faces up to ten years in prison.

Back in March, she plainly stated that she “did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirement and did not send classified material.”

Of course, this is untrue. As reported, at least 1,000 classified documents were found on Hillary Clinton’s server – two dozen of which were “Top Secret” or higher, IBD reports.

So if Hillary’s email was hacked by a foreign intelligence agency, it would be a major breach of U.S. security.

The Clinton camp aggressively disputes this. As longtime Clinton aide Lanny Davis put it, “There is no evidence that Clinton’s private server was ever successfully hacked … All the dire and dark warnings from partisan Republicans about the secretary of state risking the nation’s security by using a private server are, in fact, all speculation — based on no facts whatsoever.”

That’s a classic Clintonian response –smear the opposition, then issue a nondenial denial. Notice that Davis isn’t saying it didn’t happen, just that there’s no evidence — except for the fact that the Romanian hacker called “Guccifer” has already pleaded guilty to hacking Hillary’s server.

So what does this mean? Under the Espionage Act, it is a felony for a federal official to “knowingly remove classified material without the authority to do so and with the intention of keeping that material at an unauthorized location.” That alone can lead to a one-year prison sentence. If the classified material is then made available to an “unauthorized person,” it can lead to 10 years in prison — 15 if the information identifies a U.S. covert agent.
