Seems you didn’t read the article. Intent is not a factor in the federal law, and is not mentioned in that law at all.
“Seems you didn’t read the article. Intent is not a factor in the federal law, and is not mentioned in that law at all.”
Then that is all the more reason that Comey was wrong.
I had looked for general aspect of “intent” in response to the claim on another site. I had just wanted to be certain that a lack of explicit intent, didn’t get somebody off the hook.
The two situations I considered were handling of classified documents, for which I have personal knowledge and experience, and impaired driving.
But you are apparently better versed. Comey was wrong.
It can be strongly argued that Comey made up the law and his interpretation, to suit his special treatment of his royal target.
