Could Hillary Clinton actually face criminal charges for withholding e-mails? If this were you or me, we’d probably already be frog marched to jail. But in the case of the Clintons, or any limousine liberal, nothing, at least yet has happened. Darrell Issa said that Hillary Clinton could face criminal charges if she knowingly withholds emails from congressional investigators. Of course, as we’ve learned since 2011, Darrell Issa is a lot of talk and no action. So don’t hold your breathe.

| Hillary Clinton could face criminal charges |
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Sunday suggested that Hillary Clinton could face criminal charges if she knowingly withholds emails from congressional investigators.
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Issa noted that “voluntary cooperation does not guarantee that it’s a crime not to deliver all” requested emails.
“A subpoena, which Trey Gowdy issued, is so that in fact it will be a crime if she knowingly withholds documents pursuant to subpoena,” Issa said.
The former House Oversight Committee chairman issued three subpoenas related to the 2012 Benghazi attacks, he said, acknowledging the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week subpoenaed all of Clinton’s emails during her tenure as secretary of State.
Clinton last week called on the State Department to release the 55,000 pages of her emails that she self-selected and turned over. State has turned over about 900 pages to the committee.
Issa argued that Clinton “wasn’t forthcoming two and a half years ago.”
“She, in fact, hid the very existence of this until she was caught,” Issa said.
