Remember, she can still be prosecuted.
“Remember, she can still be prosecuted.”
That’s hilarious
Here’s the money quote:
“The FBI has told the public that because Mrs. Clinton did not have intent to harm the United States we should not prosecute her on a felony that does not require proof of intent to harm the United States. Meanwhile, although there may have been profound harm to national security caused by her grossly negligent mishandling of classified information, we’ve decided she shouldn’t be prosecuted for grossly negligent mishandling of classified information.”
Intent isn’t even supposed to be a consideration, yet that is what he is using to excuse her. If intention can be considered, why are they still chasing Ed Snowden? How is his case any different than hers?
“(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
Gross Negligence DOES NOT REQUIRE INTENT!!
As someone who once handled a lot of classified documents, I've told several associates of mine that if she is not indicted, the rule of law is dead in this country.
So welcome to Mexico, everyone.
Yeah, I got plastered, drunk as a skunk and ran over that old lady. But I never had intent to do so. Too bad for her that she was on the sidewalk at the wrong time!
Is the Freeper love affair with Comey and the FBI finally over? Breaking up is hard to do
Good luck with that.
Elections have consequences. I hope everyone that stayed at home on election day in 2012 are happy. This is what they gave us.
Where’s all those feds that were going to protest?!
He want to keep his job.
What bothers me, is that the FBI did not see Hillary getting anything. But she is a politician. Being President is her life’s ambition. She has given up everything for that. And its clear that she risked US security over her own ambitions. To her, receiving an envelope of money is not nearly as desirable as hiding her emails from the public.
Interesting dig on Hellary during his press statement. Comey said any reasonable person should know.
So Hellary is not reasonable? That’s the only takeaway I see from that.
I wonder if Comey and Lynch will take the same plane to Malta to pick up their Swiss bank accounts?
Comey fell on the sword for very powerful politicians. He will be richly rewarded in either a Hillary administration or the Obama For America foundation. This country is toast. The only thing to do now is figure out how to live in relative obscurity and still make a good living. I’m too young to sell the business and retire but too old to start over in a safe politically connected job. It all comes down to what the Berners do now. Do they vote Trump in enough numbers to make up for the illegal votes that will go to Hillary. Will it be so massive that even the electoral college will be forced to vote for Trump? What dirt do the Clintonistas and Obamanunists have on the electors?
“The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence.”
I’m not going to NR to read the rest but does anything else even matter?
It’s LYNCH, not Comey, making this decision!
Comey said she’s prosecutable.
Lynch said SHE won’t prosecute - SHE DECIDES, not Comey!
Sheesh!
This was a deliberate ,intentional avoidance and distortion of 18 USC 793f to tell the American people a lie that “Intent” was required when it absolutely was NOT!! Gross negligence DOES NOT REQUIRE “INTENT”. Comey is directly responsible for this lie to the American people. Do not let the media or any body else argue there was “no intent” . “Intent” was and is not required . If she was Grossly Negligent- that does not requite the intent!! We were lied to by by the Director of the FBI today to spring hillary from jail . We are in a national and constitutional crisis.
