Two ex-Watergate prosecutors agree ‘there’s enough evidence right now to indict Donald Trump’

Pennsylvania attorney general resigns after abuse of power conviction

Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania’s first elected female attorney general, announced her resignation Tuesday, a day after being convicted of abusing the powers of the state’s top law enforcement office

Apples and oranges. A State AG is elected, the US AG is not.

Abuse of power is abuse of power. Bripat claimed it wasn't a crime.

"Abuse of power?" That means it's perfectly legal, but petulant turds like you would cry about it.

abuse of power is not perfectly legal.

Did Hillary commit any crimes in 'rigging' the Democratic primary?
Well, if seeking dirt from the Russians on Clinton is now a federal crime, how about seeking dirt from Russian sources against Trump? If that does not “fall squarely within” the criminal code, how about rigging the primary, as alleged last week by former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile? In her new book, she contends Clinton essentially bought the DNC by assuming responsibility for its crippling debt in exchange for controlling critical elements of the organization before the primary. Brazile was fired by CNN for unethical conduct in leaking debate questions to Clinton, then lying about it to the media. However, even Brazile balked at what she found at the DNC.

Brazile says she discovered an August 2015 agreement between the national committee and the Clinton campaign that the latter be allowed to “control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised.” Brazile said the deal was legal, “but it sure looked unethical,” but still gave the Clinton campaign “control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead.” The former DNC head now agrees the deal “compromised the party’s integrity.”

25 years and Republicans couldn't even get an indictment?

Hillary must be a master criminal

 

[radical right]

Intent can not 100% be proven. Comey already declared Hillary was / is guilty of 'gross negligwnce'. There is an actual law, which Hillary violated, that covers that.

The Hillary Cover-Up is the most obvious crime cover-up in US history, considering how many laws were OBVIOUSLY violated.

Justice Stanley Reed wrote the majority opinion and disagreed that the law was unconstitutionally vague, but only on the very narrow grounds that the law required “intent or reason to believe that the information to be obtained is to be used to the injury of the United States.” Only because the court read the law to require scienter, or bad faith, before a conviction could be sustained was the law constitutional.

Gorin v. United States (1941)

You might want to read Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution, the president is the only person charged by the Constitution to ensure the laws are faithfully executed. The DOJ and all it's appendages get their constitutional authority from him, not congress or anyone else.

Faithfully executed means without political interference.

And that is the standard for prosecution under the law, it's one of the few federal statutes that don't require intent.
.

Read the case law, which makes it require intent.

Why Intent, Not Gross Negligence, is the Standard in Clinton Case

WHY INTENT, NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE, IS THE STANDARD IN CLINTON CASE

Comey said there was insufficient evidence to show Clinton had malicious intent. Comey reasoned:

All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information, or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct, or indications of disloyalty to the United States… We do not see those things here.

Many commentators have criticized Comey’s decision, arguing the statute Clinton was accused of violating, 18 U.S.C. § 793(f), requires only “gross negligence,” not intent.

In Gorin v. United States (1941), the Supreme Court heard a challenge to a conviction of a Navy intelligence official

The defendant argued on appeal that the phrase “relating to the national defense” was unconstitutionally vague

Justice Stanley Reed wrote the majority opinion and disagreed that the law was unconstitutionally vague, but only on the very narrow grounds that the law required “intent or reason to believe that the information to be obtained is to be used to the injury of the United States.” Only because the court read the law to require scienter, or bad faith, before a conviction could be sustained was the law constitutional.

You're trying to buffalo us into believing you've actually read any such case law. We know you didn't because there is none. They guy who took pictures of the missil silos in the nuclear submarine didn't have any malicision intent.

Gross negligence in not in the least vague. Comey said himself that the ***** was extremely careless (grossly negligent) and that no reasonable person would have the conversations she did on an insecure system. (gross negligence)

And if you want intent that is inconvertible, try she set up and used her private server in an attempt to avoid federal records keeping laws, making everything she did subsequently part of an ongoing crime.

"relating to the national defense" is vague. Such that it requires intent of the actions that violate it.

To prosecute 18 USC 793(f) Gorin v. United States (1941) added the requirement of intent.

Gorin v. United States (1941)

Comey stated:

1. Hillary broke the law...
- The Dir of the FBI admitted Hillary broke the law

2. '...but she was too stupid to know she was doing it.
...1. 'Ignorance' is not a legal defense for breaking the law

...2. Comey's statement is false because:
---- The govt has official documents signed by Hillary, after completing initial and re-occurring training, stating she fully understood the laws covering handling of classified
----- As Sect of State, Hillary sent out a memo to all State Dept personnel warning them not to user their own personal e-mails / servers because of the potential to do what she did - break laws.

Hillary Clinton violated numerous laws, and - even Comey knows - there was / is no legal defense for her crimes.

This is why Comey changed his words in his letter, why he wrote the exoneration letter before the investigation was over, and why he tried to claim Hillary's 'ignorance' was her (only) defense.

You're right. Comeys decision requiring intent was only in effect starting in 1941, and will continue until the USSC again visits 18 USC 793(f) . Until then you're free to hold you breath and stomp your feet.

Comey stated:

1. Hillary broke the law...
- The Dir of the FBI admitted Hillary broke the law

2. '...but she was too stupid to know she was doing it.

As I said Comey is a lawyer, he read Gorin V USA 1941, requiring "intent" to prosecute under 18 USC 793(f)

Comey said there was insufficient evidence to show Clinton had malicious intent. Comey reasoned:

All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information, or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct, or indications of disloyalty to the United States… We do not see those things here.

BS. 'Gross negligence' does not need 'intent' but could be perpetrated through 'incompetence'.

Comey said Hillary broke the law but 'was too stupid to know she was doing it'. Although not true / relevanr, Comey made the perfect argument for criminal incompetence.
