Question: If Hillary Clinton is not convicted of this statute, (assuming the FBI investigation confirms that a violaton took place) could General Petraeus sue to have his conviction vacated ex post facto on the basis of selective prosecution and the constitutional requirement of equal treatment under the law?

Damn' good question. Not a lawyer here but it seems to me Petraeus could win based on unequal treatment. Would be interested to hear what any of FR's legal eagles think.

Then we have a lawless nation ruled by ogliarchs that need to be removed by force if necessary.

That statute only applies to an “officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States”, not a foreign spy.

AND WHAT ABOUT “DRAFT MESSAGING”?

You don’t have to send or receive emails, if you create an account, share the userID and password with someone else, and then you communicate by creating a ‘draft’ of a message. You don’t send it, you save it as a draft.

Then the other person logs in, and looks for a new ‘draft’ message, and reads the letter you started but did not send.

THAT IS WHY WE NEEDED HER SERVER

CIA and State, the two big foreign service departments in our government.

One department head is convicted of mishandling secrets, the other isn't even indicted.

What is the difference between the two department heads?

That depends on whether the general has a (D) or (R) after his name

General Pertraeus was convicted of this statute. What if no action is taken against H. Clinton?

Nothing. Next question .

[BenLurkin]

What if no action is taken against H. Clinton?

It will be business as usual in the Uniparty.

Hillary will escape unhurt. It is the way of the communists empire headed by King Obama.

[skeeter]

No.

Because the judiciary almost entirely is controlled by the statists, and Hillary is a statist.

Thanks to the progressives the US is now a lawless country. If you serve the state you are exempt.

If the public educational system wasn't so corrupt as well people would recognize whats happening.

[FlingWingFlyer]

With all the bogus liberal “judges” sitting on our bogus liberal “courts”, it’s impossible to convict a DemocRAT crook of anything in this country these days.

You ever try to hold two phones in your hip pockets of a pant suit? It make your ass look fat. That’s why Hillary did it.

Nothing will happen. The FBI is supposedly looking into this. They will say she did nothing wrong and at that moment the FBI loses all possible credibility. No real law enforcement agency in the country will take them seriously. All foreign investigative agencies will also not take them seriously. Federal law enforcement will be seen as a total joke. It will truly be a sad day for this country.

HRC is a politician class person (Untouchable) and is therefore exempt from all laws that apply to you and me.
