And what did you mess up? Had I or anyone talked about certain TS OPS we would be in Leavenworth.
If one of the Founders, himself chosen to interpret the Constitution to "the People," through his writings in THE FEDERALIST's 85 Essays, makes such a strong assertion about the nation's Constitution's supremacy, then isn't it reasonable that elected or appointed officials in the government it structures are not allowed to "innovate" upon appropriately-enacted laws flowing from its provisions?“Until the people have, by some solemn and authoritative act, annulled or changed the established form, it is binding upon them collectively, as well as individually; and no presumption or even knowledge of their sentiments, can warrant their representatives [the executive, judiciary, or legislature]; in a departure from it prior to such an act.” – Alexander Hamilton
Has Comey found some new, and appropriately-passed Amendment?
3(d) Avoid conducting official Department business from your presonal e-mail accounts.
Negligent discharges of classified information (NDCIs) happen regularly and are not criminally prosecuted.
However, your and your buddy Comey are totally full of bovine excrement classifying this an an NDCI! Inadvertently slipping up is different than purposefully and repeatedly transferring classified materials to an unclassified environment. NDCIs are, by definition, singular incidents. I have seen numerous people let go for even “simple” NDCIs. This was intentional and blatant disregard of Federal law.
Everyone with a clearance knows that they would be in jail if they attempted the same actions. In fact, simply possessing TK materials outside a classified environment without a courier card would result in prosecution.
Well, the Constitution was ratified in 1788, so does that make it out of date Mr. Comey?
So the excuse that she was “simply” negligent is all that much harder to believe!
I wonder, who was she sending the classified material to?
And, the bonus is that this decision is a victory for Trump. Now the Dems can't get rid of Clinton before the election. Trump should have no trouble beating Crooked Hillary.
Then why is the law still on the books? Just in case somebody needs to use it against one of “the little people”?
So you are making a decision based on politics....
Destroy the democRAT party or they will destroy America... It’s as simple as that.
Actually, I heard she sent some with the classification heading ...
When was the law making homicide a crime written? Shouldn’t we just blow that one off also? After all, the “progressives” keep telling us that we now live in a civilized society as was demonstrated by BLM in Dallas a few days ago. Like the brilliant and “progressive” commie libs like to say, “Why does anyone need a gun anyway?”
No, I am just glad that the correct decision turned out to be the better decision for Trump. It’s better that Trump run against Clinton than, say, Biden. Everyone knows that Clinton is a crook.
Comey- Professional DC climber, kisser of rings and azzes.
Now that they have dropped the investigation into her computer hardware, that should free up some agents to look into her bank accounts. The two Clintons have sold their office to the tune of maybe a billion dollars. I’m sure that’s a much more interesting target than just worrying about what server she uses.
Of course, Comey has been in Clinton’s pockets since about 2001. So then again, maybe not.
How were Jonathan Pollard and Christopher Boyce charged?
I know there were many others.
Was it not under a statute like this one, if not this very statute? Does DoD have its own prosecutorial arm?
For civilians? No, it doesn’t.
Geez, that law is sooooooo last century!!!!
Just slightly older than Hellary.
