Speaker Bonehead was too outraged over the mountain re-naming to comment.

Are their eyes closed?

Their eyes may be closed but Hillary's FBI files on them are open!

The FBI “A Team” is going to agree with the panel of “legal experts.” Everything is perfectly OK, nothing to see here, move along.

Now back to our regularly scheduled coverage of the Republican War on Women.

How much did Hillary 2016 pay for these “experts in government secrecy”?

it doesn’t sound like these “experts” are officially connected to the investigation. It seems like they are just individuals that AP is getting opinions from.

I believe that the holders of the clearances are also required to report suspected breaches. Some of the emails are “obviously” secret or top secret. As the Sec of State, she was responsible. If she is lying about knowing, she is guilty. If she is not lying about knowing, she is incapable of holding that clearance.

You would have to show another option that does not lead to either of the above conclusions. If they stripped her of her ability to handle classified documents now, and she got elected to the presidency, what would be the implications?

What 30 wrote!!
You don’t have to know that it is classified to be in violation. Also you are responsible to know the classification guide. Who ever removed the markings and sent it is in big, big trouble. But that does not get Hillary out of trouble. Especially since it was her personal staff under her direction. Just taking a laptop or classified document home to an unsecure location is a big time no-no. I am not sure, but I bet the 1 year or 3 year penalties are for each offense. That could really add up on Hillary.

Is the argument all boiling down to whether she did it willfully and unlawfully? In other words someone has to prove she had it in her mind to do this act? Have I got that right?

Patraeus’ calendar that ended his career wasn’t marked classified. For F’s sake, you would think the Secretary of State or SOMEONE in her staff would be competent enough to handle classified documentation, this is freakin pathetic.

I'm not a lawyer but I suspect that in this case if it's "willful" then it's unlawful.She "willfully" received,stored and destroyed communications in a manner that was specifically contrary to Federal law.
