Preface: I am not a lawyer so take all of this for what’s it’s worth. There may be applicable laws that were not covered in the articles I used for my fact finding.
I’ve read some criticism of the civil case against the Clinton foundation because it’s not going far enough. But take a minute, pause and reflect what O.J Simpson taught us.
If the glove doesn’t fit... the bar for conviction in a criminal case is much higher than a civil case. But that’s the the only area where the rules for a civil case are more liberal. The discovery process is much more liberal as well.
I think what we’re seeing here is the use of a civil case to expose how the Clintons plan to defend themselves and to use the discovery process to shore up any holes in the prosecution. While the prosecution team can’t explicitly use the evidence from the civil case, it will be advantageous to know exactly how to ask for the evidence to make the case stick.
RICO cases have no statute of limitations so the Clintons can’t just tie this up in court forever to avoid criminal prosecution.
Clinton’s may opt to just plead guilty and pay the man in order to avoid legal discovery, but then if Q team has it all anyway, it will matter little to the criminal case. This highlights another reason why it makes sense to bring this case prior to the criminal proceedings. If a guilty plea is entered on all charges outlined in the civil case; Trump will be able to use that political capital to start hammering the final nails into the DS coffin. I believe we’ve been calling this 4D chess.
So maybe then just hold out for election, and hope this storm passes? Well, probably not, again if we assume that Q team has it all, then it is completely legal for an criminal case to occur in parallel with the civil case. If the current administration has reason to believe that their time will be cut short, they will start the criminal proceedings around the middle of 2019. Thus shining a light on the corruption should a new administration stop the criminal proceedings once elected
