Harold Ford: 'In Her Heart,' Hillary Didn't Intend to Violate Law
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/08/2015 6:55:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In her "heart?" Some cynical lawyerly types might say that presupposes a fact not in evidence . . .

Is Harold Ford, Jr. auditioning for an appointment in a hoped-for Hillary administration? On Morning Joe of late, he's trying out a variety of dubious defenses. Last week, as we reported here, his line was that although Americans might see her as a "liar" and "dishonest," nobody thinks she's "unpatriotic." Today, he claimed that "in her heart" Hillary didn't intend to violate the law. Harold Ford, Jr., heart whisperer.

How many people would love to see a reporter with a spine ask Hillary:

Can you explain the convenient deaths of Vince Foster and Ron Brown on the eve of their scheduled testimony in the Whitewater investigation and the part you played in them? And, as a follow up, why doesn't Benghazi matter?

"School of Public Policy"???

A pox on such wastes of space, time, and money. That such a thing could exist, that such a thing could even be proposed without being rejected in gales of derisive laughter, is a damning indictment of the modern Academy. A degree in Literature (for example) might not be terribly useful, but it is not inherently harmful. Politics as a profession, and the various academic departments which support it, are pure poison.

Man Joe and Mika were pounding on Hillary this morning. More than Fox News. Then poor Harold had to come in and try to defend her. He must owe the Clinton's big time.

Bravo Sierra. At the very least, she intended to violate FOIA. There is no other possible explanation.

Well, if absence of mens rea is a sufficient defense for HRC, it should be a sufficient defense for every violation of a criminal law or regulation that does not identify specify negligence as part of the definition of the offense.

The problem with that argument is that this is one crime where intent is not required in order to be guilty. Gross negligence is sufficient to prove guilt. So even if she had the purest of intentions, if her negligence allowed top secret information to be received and stored on her server, she is just as guilty as if she planned to do so.

In her heart, the woman in Kentucky who refuses to perform gay weddings also didn’t do anything wrong. But she IS SITTING IN JAIL.

But that’s the problem. She did it ENTIRELY to avoid oversight and hide her dirty dealing. She has provided no other plausible explanation for doing it.

Harold Ford! Where’s he been? I remember when OReally used to have him on frequently to blow smoke up America’s butt. I must admit that he’s one smooth talking, yarn spinning, BS slinging dude. I wish I could remember some of the distorted, twisted, inverted logic crap he spun to defend Clinton, et al. He made an eel look like 40 grit sandpaper.

Precisely. The first order of business for anyone put in a top position in any organization is to understand precisely how to do the job. Hillary has been an uninformed doofus from her first day in the Ark mansion. Like Obama, she is a Marxist ideologue who thinks her political opinions qualify her for office.

Hillary has a heart like Biden has a brain.

Morning Joe was all over Hillary's excuses. Joe and
Mika were having no part of her "I was stupid" defense.

Confuscious say: "tis far better to be considered a
total ignoramus than to have to admit to having
profited from imperiling US ntl security."

“Those people didn’t go to all of the trouble to move Top Secret data to her personal e-mail, without direct orders from Hillary.”

That is entirely the crux of the problem. The IT guy who set up the system was a Hillary campaign worker whom Hillary had hired by State, and Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills were Hillary aides who most likely did the transferring of information between systems. I find it hard to believe that a career State Department employee would do it.

Someone needs to ask Mrs. Bill Clinton:

You have repeatedly said you did not send or receive classified emails on your home server.

What procedures did you distribute to other federal agencies with regard to sending classified information to your @Clintonemail.com server?

What was your preferred method for receiving classified information from other federal agencies including POTUS?

And I certainly don't believe in her heart that's what she intended to do.

next, he should say that it's not really her fault because society made her do it. That is always a good libtard excuse
