Mooks' testomony was exciting….
This guy (Patrick Kennedy) was only walked out of the building….7th Floor. Imagine what his testimony might look like.
He called an, "all agency" meeting to influence the FBI's classfication of Hillary's emails. Now, ponder that for a sec. A guy at the State Dept. calling in an all agency meeting (CIA, DIA, others) not to tip the FBI off that the sitting Secretary of State violated law, but rather to do her election bidding.
Now, what this FBI FOIA doesn't talk about is who was specfically at this meeting that Kennedy called. Wouldn't it be interesting to know if some of the players involved in Russia Gate / FISA Gate were at this meeting?
Everybody who was there and didn't report a felony, is guilty.
Despite drop #7, there are two things here in play.
1) The president doesn't get to authorize a crime (i.e drop #7 potential misinformation as indicated would be necessary in drops)
2) Obama may have ultimately ok'd the emails, but there was a concerted effortto obfuscate information to the public regarding a national security issue brought on by then presidential candidate HRC.
"Misprision of felony"is a crime that occurs ''when someone knows a felony has been committed but fails to inform the authorities about it.'' The crime originated in English common law and required that citizens report crimes or face criminal prosecution. (Common law is law originating from custom and court decisions rather than statutes.)
Due to the harshness of imprisoning people merely for failing to report a crime, most states chose not to include misprision of felony in their criminal laws. Instead, conduct that would fit the misprision definition is covered by other laws, such as those dealing with accomplice liability.
Federal Law
First enacted into U.S. law in 1789, misprision of a felony in the federal system is a felony punishable by a fine and up to three years in prison. The common law rule criminalized simply knowing about a felony and not notifying the authorities. But contemporary federal law also requires that the defendant take some affirmative act to conceal the felony. The crime has four elements:
a completed felony
the defendant knowing about the felony's commission
the defendant failing to notify a proper law enforcement authority, and
the defendant taking some affirmative step to conceal the felony.
(18 U.S.C. § 4.)
Typical acts of concealment include making false statements, hiding evidence, and harboring the felon. Whether someone's actions amount to concealment is for the jury to decide.
Suppose Marty knows his neighbor, Biff, is growing marijuana. Marty wouldn't be guilty of federal misprision simply for remaining silent. But if he lies to the police about Biff's growing, he's committed the crime.
Although the crime has a broad definition, misprision prosecutions are uncommon. Prosecutors usually reserve misprision charges for people with special duties to report crimes, such as prison guards and elected officials. That said, nothing in the statute's language limits it to such cases. The authorities might invoke it for certain types of crimes where the government wants to encourage reporting, like treason and terrorism.
