I'm pretty sure the actual statute specifically states that intent does not matter.
This was political interference, pure and simple.
Clinton intentionally set up the private server. Clinton intentionally had classified emails on the server. THAT IS INTENT.
It should also be noted that intent is not needed to prosecute a crime. I I get drunk and accidentally kill someone will driving the fact that I did not have intent to kill them means nothing. The DA WILL prosecute me for negligent homicide.
It must also be noted that after serving in government for many years, Clinton knew these were illegal acts.
Nice input. He's as lawless as Obama....they just ignore our laws to protect themselves and their frickin' cronies.
=======================================
BACKSTORY Comey's team found "thousands" of emails, some containing classified information, that were forwarded to the computer of Huma's husband----Anthony Weiner. "Somehow, Hillary's classified emails were being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, including classified information," Comey said.
So did Comey ever wonder whether Wiener passed them on to perhaps an Muslim relative of Humas in the M/E?
Dollars to donuts Anthony is the conduit in this case (below) ......to one of Huma's greedy, opportunistic cousins swilling at the State Dept trough.....Hillary filling the trough as its emptied by the Abedin family hogs. Read on.
In my nightmares, I keep seeing an endless parade of Huma's cousins w/ their hands in the State Dept cookie jar.
UNDER HOUSE ARREST---Huma's first cousin Omar Amanat AKA a serial swindler;
This smirking creep got rich subsidizing businesses w/ OUR tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.
EXCERPT--Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting, Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.
In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations.
Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project.
Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars), said an attorney familiar with the case. This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.
Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a serial swindler, was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.
THE CLINTON FOUNDATION MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Amanat and several other family members and related charities have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, as well as the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Amanat, who personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.
While the FBI has apparently closed its espionage investigation into Clintons unsecured private email server (the House has reopened it), its public corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation remains open.
Its not clear if this still-active probe overlaps with the Amanat fraud investigation. However, investigators reportedly continue to look into alleged pay-for- play schemes involving the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation and its wealthy donors, as well as entities that paid the Clintons millions of dollars in speaking fees.
Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State favors AND tax dollars.
The multitudinous articles, T.V. interviews rarely if ever, allude to Ms. Clinton's lying, her delusions, her "misinterpretations" about what normal people understand to be reality...in her latest foray into LaLa land was with the Socialist/Communist Christiane Amanpour, Hillary was allowed to wrongly blame everyone but her self.
thanks, i totally agree.
