On Sunday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article explaining how the Statute of Limitations applies to the potential case against the former Obama intelligence officials who obstructed the investigation and concealed evidence in the Russia Hoax.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Sunday that the clock began \u201cticking\u201d on a potential case being brought against former Obama intelligence officials for obstruction the moment \u201cdeliberately concealed evidence\u201d was discovered by the Trump administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russia investigation<\/a>, which alleged President Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to sway the election in his favor, received new scrutiny in July after the FBI reportedly placed<\/a> former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan under criminal investigation. With allegations and new intelligence surfacing about how Comey, Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper played a role in targeting the Trump campaign, Jarrett was asked by \u201cSunday Morning Futures\u201d host Maria Bartiromo if he believed the Department of Justice (DOJ) \u201cwill act\u201d and whether \u201cthe statute of limitations apply to conspiracy or not.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would say yes to all three. This does look like a broad criminal conspiracy by unscrupulous officials, dishonest people. I would look at conspiracy to defraud the government, deprivation of rights under color of law, but importantly, obstruction of justice and the cover up,\u201d Jarrett said. \u201cThe elaborate cover up has been going on for years, as Stephen Miller pointed out, which extends the statute of limitations in any conspiracy case against malign actors. That\u2019s because the clock begins ticking when deliberately concealed evidence is discovered, which is actually quite recently.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, for example, you were talking about the burn bags that were discovered incriminating documents hidden at the FBI, as well as other records, hard drives squirreled away under lock and key by Comey recently found,\u201d Jarrett added. \u201cSo attempting to conceal or destroy evidence relevant to investigations, that\u2019s obstruction. The last overt act in a conspiracy starts the clock anew. So that\u2019s the value of bringing a conspiracy case that includes obstruction.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the information we are receiving is proven to be correct, the people involved belong in jail. If we do not deal with this type of illegal behavior, it will continue. There have to be consequences for the illegal actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
