If you think criticism of Trump’s lies makes someone a “leftist,” you might be a Trump cultist.

Boy you love to pick the nits out of a pile of horse dung don't you.

Why not add the rest?

For Clinton’s part, she told the FBI that "she did not know what the "(C)" meant at the beginning of the paragraphs and speculated it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order," according to the bureau’s report. She also disputed the need for these particular paragraphs to be classified at all.

But he also has said she should have recognized by the topic of discussion that some of these emails did not belong on a non-classified system, given that 36 of these email chains had "secret" information and eight had "top secret" information.

"There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about the matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation," Comey said in a July 5 statement.

Is there any question that Hillary mishandled classified information? Of course not, that's why the decision to not prosecute was based on intent, as irrelevant as that is to the case. That is why this matter is not quite put to rest.

"Intent" is always a relevant component of any criminal prosecution. Lack of criminal intent can be a reason why successful prosecution is unlikely. Prosecutors are faced with a judgement call on whether to risk wasting everyone's time on a prosecution that has little likelihood of succeeding. There are other elements of the H.Clinton email investigation beyond the lack of criminal intent that made the decision not to recommend indictment sensible. In both the Petreaus case and the case of the sailor who took unauthorized nuclear submarine photos there was also a lack of criminal intent. There were features of these latter two cases, however, that made them quite different than the Secretary Clinton case.

You can say that again. (The differences make it painfully clear that what happened is a sham.)

Great, then prosecute OCA Trump for his grossly negligent action of handing over highly classified intelligence to Russians and prove your case, what's the wait?

Only someone (like you) who's deranged enough to think Laura Bush running a stop sign as a teenager is as bad as a U.S. Senator driving drunk and leaving a woman to die would think these are equivalent.

Curiously, Russian Hackers also reached the same conclusion, i.e., it was a 'Sham.'
It's painfully clear mostly to folks from West Virginia. Watch out for the Deep State Now. It's out'ta get Ya.

So yo have no answer to my question other than more whataboutisms? Thought so.

Why? Because the sailor chose to lie and destroy evidence after an interview? You do know other sailors took pictures and nothing happened to them while this guy was prosecuted for his actions AFTER he took those photos.

I think Hillary lied about the emails in her hearing according to Comey, then deleted emails, bleach bit the server and destroyed devices mechanically.

Yeah, quite different.

And where did the scientist get his law degree? Can you cite a precedent where someone went to prison for having a private email setup while working in government especially when the person is an OCA? Should Trump be given the death sentence for intentionally giving highly classified material to his handlers in the Russian government ignoring that he is an OCA as well? Are you ok with that simple trade?

Hillary was not a Original Classification Authority for Top Secret and Special Access Programs. That's an outrageous lie. Post the exact law that gives SecSTATE authority to unilaterally declassify Top Secret and SAP intelligence.

There is zero chance the Sec State has authority to release SAP and Top Secret intel. This is drone strike, CIA kill lists, US spies overseas...

She had all that on her server. That intel had to be copied by hand onto paper, or screen shotted with a phone, from the closed terminal networks in the Pentagon, and then retranscribed and sent to Hillarys home email server. Where it was copied and resent again by Hillary, in many cases.

This is fucking insanity.

Once again you are wrong on the law.

Intent can be established by the fact she had a duty to protect the information and she received the information. Some of the laws she violated were purposefully written to not require a criminal mind set.

Prosecution of Hillary for certain crimes would have been a 100% lock save the fact she was a celebrity. There is not question she committed acts which made here guilty.

As the OCA for the entire department, it was her absolute authority to determine what's classified and what's not.

Wheres the proof, buddy? Still waiting for proof SECSTATE has full OCA over Top Secret and SAP intel....

Ur full of shit.
