Having acquired Gregg Jarrett's new book "The Russian Hoax - The Illicit Scheme To Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump" I went through the first chapter titled, "Hillary Clinton's Email Server" which sets up the rest of his account and became more and more infuriated as to the specific information he lays out.
Most of us have a foggy recollection of just all of what happened so many years ago, so I've compiled what I see as the more pertinent points in that chapter here for my readers to go through themselves. If this array of evidence doesn't make one upset and disappointed in our two tiered justice system we now seem to have for those who are considered too important to prosecute, then I don't know what will.
Chapter 1 - Hillary
Clinton's Email Server
Page 6
New
York Times broke the story wide open on March 2, 2016, creating a
firestorm of controversy with immense political consequences for
Clinton, just as she prepared to launch another bid for president of
the United States in the next month. Her actions, decried by many as
irresponsible and reckless, called into question both her judgment
and competency to hold the highest public office in the land. More
important, Clinton's unmitigated disregard for the law quickly
metastasized into allegations of criminal wrongdoing.
Attempts
to Cover Up
First
press response: “I did not email any classified material to anyone
on my email.”
Second
press response: “I am confident that I never sent or received any
information that was classified at the time it was sent.” …
the FBI confirmed that 110 of her emails contained classified
information at the time they were sent or received.

Third
press response: “I never sent or received any email that was marked
classified.” Many of Clinton's emails were, indeed, marked
classified, as the FBI later revealed. While testifying before the
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Director Comey
called Clinton's statement “not true.” Morever, the markings were
irrelevant under the law, since the content – not the markings –
made them classified.
… Clinton
seemed to be arguing her own incompetence. That is, she should not be
held legally liable because she was too uninformed or inept to
recognize classified materials without their markings. But ignorance
and maladroitness are not defenses under the law. This rendered
Clinton's explanations of her actions all the more unconvincing.

First,
the IG found that Clinton “did not comply with the Federal Records
Act.”
Second,
the IG determined that Clinton never sought the approval for her
server and, had she done so, it would have been rejected as a risk to
national security.
Third,
the IG learned that employees who voiced concerns about the private
server were instructed “to never speak of the Secretary's personal
email system again.
Fourth,
the IG concluded that any classified material “never should have
been transmitted via an unclassified personal system.”

On
January 22, 2009, the day after she was sworn into office, she signed
a document titled “Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement,”
which stated the following:
I have been advised that the
unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent
handling of classified information by me could cause damage or
irreparable injury to the United States or could be used to advantage
by a foreign nation. I have been advised that any unauthorized
disclosure of classified information by me may constitute a violation
or violations, of US criminal laws.

Clinton
could hardly claim amnesia as a defense, since she sent an order to
every State Department employee two years later, on June 28, 2011,
cautioning them not to do what she was doing covertly in violating
the law. Clinton's order warned: Avoid conducting official
Department business from your personal email accounts.
On
March 4, 2015, Congress sent a letter to Clinton instructing her to
preserve all her emails. Subpoenas were sent immediately thereafter.
The request included both work-related emails and any of those she
had previously withheld as “personal.”
Three
weeks later, on March 25, more than thirty thousand of Clinton's
emails were deleted. It is unclear how many of those emails might
have been relevant to the subpoenas since they have vanished. Her
server was wiped clean by using a file-deleting software program
called BleachBit.

It
is revealing that Clinton spent five months refusing to turn over her
email server to either the Benghazi Committee or the FBI, despite
repeated demands to do so. In the end, she relented when faced with
the likelihood that Bureau agents would begin serving search warrants
to seize it on their own. Fearing a knock on the door of her private
residence, Clinton finally capitulated. [According to Sean Hannity
her server has disappeared and no one knows where it went to.]

Although
Clinton is a trained lawyer who graduated from Yale Law School, she
seemed oblivious to the law. Or, more likely, she felt that the law
did not apply to her. Yet there is no station in life or standing in
government that absolves someone from criminal conduct. In this way,
we are all creatures of the law and are bound to obey it. An orderly
society cannot function if it permits individuals to disregard the
law with impunity.
While it is true that some government officials had in the past used private email accounts for some official business, that practice was rare. None of Clinton's predecessors created a private server for all their communications as secretary of state. The law imposes strict rules limiting such use.
First, the emails must be carefully preserved by the employee's agency.
Second, the comminications cannot be destroyed by the employee.
Third, and most significantly, no classified material can be maintained on any private account.

Chapter 2 covers how FBI Director James Comey contorted the law and did what was clearly not within his job to do; exonerate Hillary of any criminal acts.
The
following list is the various laws which Clinton should have been
prosecuted on:
- 18 U.S.C. 641
- 18 U.S.C. 207(b)
- 18 U.S.C. 1001
- 18 U.S.C. 1505
- 18 U.S.C. 1515(b)
- 18 U.S.C. 793(d,e. & f)
- 18 U.S.C. 1924(a)
- 18 U.S.C. 371
- 18 U.S.C. 286
