But in this case, it's not criminal.

Hillary's penis size is criminal. It's yuuuge!

[PaulAtreides]

There is nothing in that law about intent. 

Oh, really.  And which law school taught you that legal maxim?  Must have been Trump University.

[albrecht]

Oh, really.  And which law school taught you that legal maxim?  Must have been Trump University.

From the FBI's statement:
"The investigation did not reveal evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute classified information to unauthorized personnel."
But he was still charged and copped a plea:
Folsom Naval Reservist is Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Unauthorized Removal and Retention of Classified Materials
https://www.fbi.gov/sacramento/press-releases/2015/folsom-naval-reservist-is-sentenced-after-pleading-guilty-to-unauthorized-removal-and-retention-of-classified-materials

Unfortunately, for Mr.Nishimura, he wasn't able to have his spouse 'accidentally' have a meeting with the DOJ head and have connections in government, and dirt on people, so he actually got punished for breaking the law and policy.

[PB the Deplorable]

Oh, really.  And which law school taught you that legal maxim?  Must have been Trump University.

Well, I can read.

I said intent doesn't apply with THAT law, not some random law. Why don't you read it for yourself and point out where it says intent, genius.  By the way, if this isn't gross negligence, what would be? 

[ACE of CLUBS]

Ohhhhh, somebody's butthurt! Struck a nerve, huh? Let me guess, you love golf and hate Carlin. That must've hurt your wittle feelz, huh? So sorry...   

How many? How the fuck should I know? What's it to you? And why should I care?

Court ordered 'Anger Management 101' not quite working out for you, huh?

[creepygreenlight]

You still show no evidence of understanding what constitutes a crime.  Either go to law school or shut the fuck up.

Gross negligence, dip shit.  Have you heard of it?  "Criminal" is irrelevant at this point because there's simply no way Obama would have allowed Comey to destroy his Socialist/Communist/Islamist agenda by indicting the anointed Corporate Globalist Robot Queen Hillary.

Now, kindly go fuck yourself with a blunt object.

[WOTR]

It is mostly a white man's game, and old, boring white guys at that. It's a fucking sausage fest of epic proportions. As for Tiger Wood, he's an anomaly, who cares. The overwhelming numbers are against him. Sorry, it's just a fact. Same with hockey, except hockey doesn't suck and bore people to death. Oh, andt they get into lots of fights, which is great. Negroes just don't like the cold, I guess.

Fencing and golf are the two most common sports at which inner city youth excel.  Many an African American has emerged from the ghetto with nothing but a foil an epee and a dream of reaching the olympics.

[WOTR]

If only that were true

Would you please learn your place and stop arguing with hollowMAN.  It is most distressing to observe such behavior.

[BattyBrooke]

You're more of a 'drama queen' than Art .... ??
How can that be ..... ?

Why, thank you. *curtsies*

[BattyBrooke]

Don't feed the trolls

((((((((Paperboy))))))))))

[BattyBrooke]

Oh, yeah? How the fuck would you know, genius? Oh, that's right, Art's faking it. He's just lying out his ass again, I forgot. Yeah, he doesn't really have pneumonia, or even COPD! It's just more drama from the drama queen. Hell, you probably don't think he's even in the fucking hospital, do you?? LOL. Yup, it's all one big con job, huh. It's a conspiracy between Art and Heather! Fucking dumbass...

Yeah, and I'm sure PaulAltreides thinks that video Art posted from his HOSPITAL BED was filmed by Kubrick on some green screen. Dumb as the day is long, he is.

[BattyBrooke]

Debating politics is still better than the charlatans on his Facebook statuses urging him to consult herbal healers and homeopaths.

Oh, for fucksake, is that really happening?! What a bunch of shitstacks. I'm glad I don't have FB. I'd end up with high blood pressure.

Hillary deserves a lot of the flak she's getting on this, but we shouldn't let that distract from the point that Segundus made on one of these threads. Namely, who are the people that had the knowledge, experience and responsibility to recognize that a private server was a security breach and to pursue it as far as necessary to get this practice to stop?

Hillary can plead ignorance only because, apparently, all the people who knew better and should have acted on the problem instead decided to stop pursuing the matter. This gave her all the cover she needed to keep doing what she was doing.

IMO, these enablers are worse than Hillary because they knew without a doubt that this private server was a major problem. They allowed Clinton to not only endanger national security, but get away with it by giving her just enough plausible denial to wiggle out of an FBI investigation.

I only wish that I were so articulate.

[ItsOver]

Here's one interesting article that attempts to address some of the issues with how Clinton was operating with her personal IT setup.  What was the motivation for Clinton to be operating with a private server to begin with? 

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/hillary-clintons-infamous-email-server-6-things-you-need-to-know/

If you just need the convenience of being able to operate with portable processor, such as smart phone or laptop, that's done everyday within the Federal government.  In a position such as hers, you're issued a government provided smart phone and a portable processor (laptop, tablet, etc.) and it's SOP to be issued a government email account.  If you're dealing with classified info, you're initially briefed on the importance of using only officially approved procedures and systems for the proper protection of the info.  You are also routinely scheduled for regular briefings on the importance of these procedures and any updates. 

There is no way she and her staff would not be aware that what she was doing wasn't proper, based upon her position and experience.  She wasn't a GS-2 intern clerk.  Remember, this person is running for the highest position within the Federal government.  What is her judgement going to be regarding other things of critical importance?  Others within the government should have stopped this but that does not absolve her of her responsibility in such a high position to never have done what she did, to begin with.  An underling within the State Department could have blown the whistle on her through the IG, for example, but the unwritten discouragement of this is strong, even though, in of itself, illegal.  See the after-the-fact IG report for the assessment of this action.

Comey's action is intriguing.  At best, he basically damned Mrs. Clinton with faint innocence.

True, but think what you're missing.  Who doesn't want to know what Buffy had for breakfast?

You want to charge someone with a crime, but criminal is irrelevant?  What a crock of shit that "logic" is.

[FightTheFuture]

I don`t know if it`s been posted yet (probably has), but Art was released from the Hospital and is resting comfortably at home. Great news!

A big thumbs up on that news, FTF.  Getting old is a bitch but it beats the alternative.

You got that right, my friend! I would love to think Art is the benefactor of lots of positive energy and prayers.

That is good news. Thanks for the update FTF.

It's a pity that all of you Trumptards don't have the time to put down your video games  and come upstairs from mom's basement to actually listen to Director Comey explain the FBI position.

I agree.  I am not trying to excuse her, and I suspect that Obama knew exactly why it was 'necessary' and gave tacit approval.  It may not be a coincidence that the day after she was absolved he started a rousing support for her. 

[Hollow Man]

Court ordered 'Anger Management 101' not quite working out for you, huh?

No. I was kicked out for punching the instructor. He told me I was too violent. The nerve.. me, violent?

They've come so far...

Yes, most unladylike. Tsk tsk tsk...
