""Federal law is clear regarding classified materials: intent is not relevant [to mishandling classified information]," the White House official said."

Somebody at the WH gets it. Comey doesn't get it.

Intent is not needed.

Oh, Comey got it. He did exactly what he had been paid big buck to do.....cover for dems breaking the law and keep them out of jail. He just went down for being corrupt in the end.

Comey doesn’t get it....>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes he does get it.. One of the rudimentary aspects of law,the ingredients of a felony crime: actuse reus (action or conduct that is a constituent element of a crime) and mens rea (the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime.) Every lawyer that ever attended law school has this within the 1st week of law school.

Comey was simply covering for Hillary Clinton.And the MSM went right along with it, hoping to whistle past the grave yard.

The statute in question is whats called a “strict liability” statute. This is because only the actus reus need be proven in court, No actus reus is required for a conviction, no intent needs to be proven for a conviction.

Comey’s comments were made to intentionally cover up Hillary’s crime.

Yes he should have been fired, but a lot earlier. Now Comey has doubled down to do as much injury to the Trump administration as he can, should he be fired, and now the caterwauling of the left begins. That’s a big problem which requires the indictment and prosecution of both Hillary and Comey.

The “intent” goes back farther in time, it goes back to the time that she set up this off the grid network at her home. The reason that was done was simple, to keep all info away from prying eyes, forever. Fits with her profile going back to the Rose Law Firm billing records which she kept for two years till after the probe was over. This is one malicious witch and she needs go down hard, however that is.

It’s really not that difficult at all. Even lib lawyers know the difference between gross negligence and intent.

I was shocked when I heard Commey’s statement about “intent” and that “no reasonable prosecutor” etc. Then when I learned he was co-opting the Just Us Depts authority and letting Clinton/Lynch get away with it, well . . .

The OUTRAGE should have been immediate and LOUD. Commey should have been fired then. That Obambi didn’t wasn’t further proof of his and Dem’s corruption.

And now look at the enemedia. They are stupid and corrupt themselves beyond belief. GTH, all of you.

Comey was trying to walk a tightrope to keep his job - prosecute the Clintons and he’s toast. Ignore the lawbreaking and he loses all respect within his department.

I’m sure he never considered the idea that Trump would actually win. That pretty much doomed him right there.

Do you have a link to the actual statute they refer to? I searched and couldn’t find it.

“Somebody at the WH gets it. Comey doesn’t get it....Intent is not needed.”


Comey doesn’t want to ‘get it’.......he knows the law, most likely he was ordered by Obama’s to ‘fall on a grenade’ in order to complete the obstruction of justice Lynch had agreed to (unfortunately for the corrupt Attorney General her compliciency with BC was exposed)

Comey needs to be investigated for felonies related to unmasking....

I think Comey got it. He was just trying to avoid being Vince Foster-ized.

>>Comey doesn’t get it.

Oh I think he got it. George Webb has done a pretty decent job of describing Comey’s history of swamp slithering.

Time after time he’s failed to follow through and enforce the law.

Now he’s DONE covering for his fellow snakes from that position of authority.
