The text of the statute being discussed.

18 U.S. Code § 793(f) - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information

Intent means jack. What you did, does.

“Chelsea” Mannings lawyers are going to demand a new trial.

[humblegunner]

Again? Because they re-wrote it several times just yesterday.

FBI doesn’t blame Hillary for her arrogance and negligence.

FBI doesn’t get blamed for the Orlando massacre because of its negligence.

How would EXEMPT Comey measure “intent”?

By the payoff and threats to his family by EXEMPT Clinton.

What must be observed is that had “intent” been the standard ( it wasn’t) it was easy to prove her intent. Did she intend to jeopardize the national security? Probably not because she is to stupid to understand hacking but the issue was did she intend to put government documents on her off premises serverS?
Oh hell yes!!Easy

The FBI now has the credibility of the STASI.

One of the things I find stupefying, which I do not believe anyone has commented on is Comey’s unorthodox going out on a limb of to fall on his sword for Hillary and the Administration. First, I find it odd that the Bureau, via Comey has taken full blame for a nolle prosequi determination when it is not even his role to do so. In so doing, Comey has further corrupted the FBI and destroyed any credibility they may have enjoyed. The question is why? Most know that agents investigate, develop the facts and then they make their best pitch on the evidence in the case to an AUSA who decides whether to take the case to a Grand Jury. Comey should have done exactly that. He should have had his lead agents on the case truck over to the Public Integrity Section at DOJ, pitch the case the way Comey did at the beginning of his speech to the attorneys in their offices and leave the prosecution decision to Public Integrity lawyers. No, he volunteered to make a fool out of himself, shield Lynch and Public Integrity from doing her job and destroy the Bureau by representing he had the authority to control the case and make essentially a nolle pros determination in the case. How crazy and corrupt is that? What do you think the morale or lack thereof must be in the Bureau today among the rank and file agents? Bozo has done to law enforcement what he has done to the military. Wow! is all I can say to such a blatant act of in your face corruption. Yori Bezmenov warned us that a critical step toward totalitarianism is ‘demoralization’ and this whitewash of major national security criminal violations is just the latest appalling example. Do not succumb to the Communist playbook. Fight against totalitarianism to your last breath. It is obvious that once Obozo got away with flipping his finger at all of us regarding his usurpation of the office of POTUS, he knew he was home free to run roughshod over America and he is not through yet by a long shot, especially as it becomes clearer that Trump is going to win in November.

If they can do this, they can rig the election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangerment

Endangerment is a crime, whether or not someone is harmed. For example, leaving a child in a hot car, or unattended.

You don’t have to intend harm, and it doesn’t have to happen. Just set up the situation and the likelihood, and you’ve broken the law.

[tumblindice]

Putting your country at risk by violating the laws intended to guard against such risk are both malum in se and malum prohibitum.

malum in se
(mal-uhm in say) adv. Latin referring to an act that is “wrong in itself,” in its very nature being illegal because it violates the natural, moral or public principles of a civilized society. In criminal law it is one of the collection of crimes which are traditional and not just created by statute, which are “malum prohibitum.”

[Eagles6]

This is just a big middle finger to the American people from the most transparently corrupt administration yet.

[libertylover]

Bump.

[VideoDoctor]

Any further HEARINGS or INVESTIGATIONS into this are NOTHING MORE than Kabuki theater for the masses.

Nothing will change. It has been decreed.

Move on.. nothing to see here citizen.
