Believe me. I am as bothered by this as you. But at the same time mishandling of classified information in innocuous ways is endemic because there is so much of it. I detest the candidate Clinton, but in this one case I'm not prepared to condemn her on the basis of just the information that...

I disagree. I don't think any of us are in a position to say that she clearly violated paragraph "f". We have no idea what the classifiable information contained in some of the emails dealt with, or whether it was defense related. Not everything the State department deals with is defense...

Thank you for that. I did not read the entire uscode on this subject (obviously) but I read enough more from what you posted to recognize that the entire law is not drafted so loosely as paragraph (f). When the question of a whether the transgression of a law is prosecutable, the question of...

I hope there is much more to this law than what you've shown here. This law is so vaguely construed, so ridiculously broad, so open to interpretation that nearly any activity "...relating to national defense..." could be deemed a crime. I'd expect to find such a law only in despotic nations...

I'm dismayed as you at our rotten prospects this coming November. But the reality is that although lying under oath is a crime, everyday lying by politicians is not. It seems both the candidates are consummate liars. A key phrase in Comey's remarks that bears out what I have been saying all...

Takes about an hour. I post this commentary on the American Nation recognizing that much of the evil in the world is created by those with good intentions, or so they thought; evil being the furthest thing from their minds. Evil and bad judgement knows no national boundaries.

This is turning out exactly as I said it would. There has never been such a case prosecuted successfully in modern times, and relatively few indictments in cases such as this, judging, naturally, from only the information we have been given through the media. The David Petraeus case was...

Of course you are not.

The last sentence in your "Soros" version of Goldilocks contains a non sequitur, making it read as nonsense.

You are capable, i'm sure, of answering this question for yourself, recognizing, of course, that both North and South Korea have highly regulated economies. One might therefore conclude that either the type and extent of regulation is responsible for the difference, or that the existence of...

It is true that monopolies and cartels often use the government to maintain and consolidate their control of a market, but it is a common fallacy to think that monopolies and cartels, in the absence of regulation, must have government help to form. Even more fallacious is the opinion that some...

It is my opinion that the U.S. middle class is not doing as well is it could economically not because of globalization, trade, and immigration, but instead because of what we are doing to ourselves. By that I don't mean to suggest that changes in our trade and immigration policies are not...

You have left me with no doubt whatsoever that I read many books and papers dealing with economics that you don't.

Is this the new economics? :D

What is curious about this post is that is conflates investment and profits with supply side economics. The problem with this thinking today is exactly the same problem with this thinking in the 1980s. It assumes supply-side stimulus is a superior way to encourage investment growth and...

I guess I missed that post. Because, according to the OP, the IRS has already examined his bank account from the period in question, I am guessing that if he communicates to the IRS what he has already communicated to this forum, the IRS will accept his personal statement that there were no...

He's lying again!

This should be simple to resolve assuming your brokerage statement from 15 years ago can be recovered. Your problem is not due to any of the things mentioned previously in this thread. Until recently brokers were not required to report cost basis to the IRS. They only reported proceeds paid to...

You are far too kind. I was inspired by Achilles brilliant comment, to wit: "Far more crime is stopped with guns, then perpetrated." So any credit should go to him, not me..

The most effective way to stop jaywalking is to shoot offenders a few times - ten or fifteen shots to the head should be enough.. They will never jaywalk again. In fact , we can eliminate repeat offenders for all crimes using this one simple technique: Just shoot the offender a dozen or more...
