Peak FBI Corruption? Meet Bryan Nishimura, Found Guilty For “Removal And Retention Of Classified Materials”
...What is even more shocking is that according to Comey, “we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.”
Well, we did. Here is the FBI itself, less than a year ago, charging one Bryan H. Nishimura, 50, of Folsom, who pleaded guilty to “unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials” without malicious intent, in other words precisely what the FBI alleges Hillary did (h/t @DavidSirota):...
Thanks, WildHighlander57
Comey's exposition makes clear that his review of precedent was limited to 793(f) cases.
All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice.
That is probably true for 793(f) cases, just like murder 2 requires an intention to kill somebody.
But as the Nishimura case shows, there are other statutes.
I point this detail out so that people recognize the arguments about "intent" (part of the court lore of 793(f)) as avoiding the crime that certainly was committed.
