Hillary Clinton vs. James Comey: Email Scandal Supercut

That video says it all, and watch, our board libs will ignore this thread.
Let's keep bumping it so as many see this as possible.
 
If You Want the Government to Forgive Your Criminal Mistakes, Run for President


Intent matters, but sometimes only when authorities decide it does, like if it turns out you're Hillary Clinton.

The FBI's analysis may well be accurate: Maybe they had no intent to willfully mishandle information. But it's important to understand that there are many federal laws where mens rea is not considered when prosecuting somebody for violation of the law. Clinton is getting the mercy of a Justice Department that, in her case, cares about her intent. The rest of us don't get such of a pass, even in somewhat similar situations. Glenn Greenwald notes that those with lesser connections who get accused of mishandling classified information see much different responses from this administration:

NSA whistleblower Tom Drake, for instance, faced years in prison, and ultimately had his career destroyed, based on the Obama DOJ's claims that he "mishandled" classified information (it included information that was not formally classified at the time but was retroactively decreed to be such). Less than two weeks ago, "a Naval reservist was convicted and sentenced for mishandling classified military materials" despite no "evidence he intended to distribute them." Last year, a Naval officer was convicted of mishandling classified information also in the absence of any intent to distribute it.


 
We're also talking about a woman who thinks Edward Snowden didn't go through "proper channels" before leaking information about mass domestic surveillance to the public and should face legal consequences, though the whistleblowing channels she refers to probably wouldn't have applied in Snowden's situation. Despite deliberately notmanaging communications appropriately to make sure everything goes through "proper channels" with correct level of security, she wants to be treated differently.

For these reasons, it's extremely disconcerting to see the Department of Justice and some of the left decry attempts by conservative criminal justice reformers to increase requirements where consideration of mens rea should apply to federal law. Their argument is that it makes it harder to prosecute people, particularly white-collar criminals, which is partly the point of mens rea. Some on the left and within the Justice Department want to be able to prosecute corporate actors for violating one of the thousands of federal regulations that they claim protects safety and the environment, and they want to be able to do so without having to prove that people knew that they were doing anything wrong.
 
I'm very confused by Fox News and what I heard them say this morning.

This is a simple question.

Has the FBI found anything they can charge Hillary with?

They have not.

Fox News...has pushed this story into a hyper legal tangled web.

I think because Hillary didn't do anything wrong, thus the term "no wrong doing"...

...Fox News has stopped even trying to impress us with facts, but have begun to try and baffle us with bullshit.

I haven't heard that much latin, mixed with phony outrage, in my entire life.

It's an amazing thing really, but with Fox News...I'm still not surprised
 
the video will change nothing .. Trumpbots will continue to eat the peanuts out of Donnies shit pile, and minority voters will still vote for Clinton.

Trump will lose.

Wrong, the FBI DID find that Hillary could be charged, they obviously however chose not to go further.

Thank you for the clear answer!

Awesome!

Finally something that makes sense!

What crime could they have charged Hillary with? Or...what crime SHOULD they have charged Hillary with, and while you're at it...is there a typical punishment for that crime.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, really, just want to have a plain conversation about this, without someone freaking out

According to the FBI, which is controlled by the present administration, Hillary has done nothing CRIMINALLY wrong.

Got it....then why is this getting 24 hour a day coverage on Fox?

The only two stories I've seen on Fox since last Thursday have been Benghazi and the email thing

Thomas Andrews Drake


Indictment
In April 2010, Drake was indicted by a Baltimore, Maryland grand jury on the following charges:[4][5][6][8]

The indictment contained many other allegations; most of them did not relate to the actual charges against him. He was not specifically charged with unauthorized disclosure of classified information, nor was he charged at all under 18 U.S.C. § 798, the "SIGINT" statute.[37] The indictment gave details about his communications with Roark and with Gorman, but he was not charged with any crime directly relating to those communications.[8] The indictment also did not list the names of Gorman or Roark, but they were confirmed by reporters (e.g. Mark Hosenball of Newsweek).[4][9] Roark's lawyer claimed that the indictment contains a "mischaracterization of the facts" about the relationship between her client and Drake.[9] Roark herself later spoke out in support of Drake and the other whistleblowers of the Trailblazer project.[21]

Read post #17 , this thing appear to be purely subjective and subject to prosecutorial discretion.

Hillary gets a break, Thomas Andrews Drake, did not.

Why the double standard?

There should be an INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR.
