Don’t mean to be argumentative, but 0bama’s birth status was also put up for the court of public opinion . . . and until Hillary is convicted she can not fall unto this legal test.
“Don’t mean to be argumentative, but 0bama’s birth status was also put up for the court of public opinion...”
Yes it was, and as you recall, Obama produced a document that satisfied enough people, that the matter was put to rest before election day.
Later, it was discovered that there were all sorts of problems with the document, but by that time it was too late. He’d gotten away with it.
The case with Hillary violating the law concerning prtection of sensitive government information, is very different. Comey got up in front of the American people and admitted that she violated every word of part (a) of the statute.
It doesn’t matter what he said thereafter, because part (b) of the statute says that any government employee who violates it, is subject to part (b).
Now people can argue that this needs to be adjudicated in a court of law to find her guilty, but that’s not true. The people themselves are completely capable of reviewing the facts, and deciding that she should not hold public office again.
The key to this is getting the conversation started. Trump can do that by reading the text of the statute at every rally, and asking his supporters to flood social media with it.
