‘Intent’ is the most misunderstood legal term in this once great nation. Intent simply refers to making a conscious effort to conduct an illegal act, REGARDLESS of whether the actor knew it was illegal.

In the case of Hillary, all that is needed to prove intent is that she chose to decline use of the email service offered her by the State Department, and that she then sent and received emails in her official capacity on a non-governmental service.

She would be absent intent only if a State Department employee convinced her that she must only use a non-governmental email service provider.

Similarly, she consciously directed her sycophants to remove documents from a SCIF and scan and email them to her, or did so herself. Again, it makes no difference if she knew it was illegal. It would be impossible to construct a more open and shut case, and yet somehow smart guy Comey couldn’t figure that out.

The kindergarten level intelligence of the presstitutes of course completely missed that point.

Just like Ron Brown. They’re willing to kill anyone to get their way.

Correct. And don't forget that includes any American that values freedom over communist/socialist tyranny.

Wait, Jill Biden is trying to claim she is the mother of Beau Biden? Jill is at best the step-mother of Beau, because Neilia Hunter is the biological mother of both Beau & Robert Hunter Biden.

It is my understanding that specific intent is not a requirement of the law for a person to be convicted of the crime of mishandling classified documents. Thus Comey’s comment was merely an excuse to not recommend she be charged.

Second, as head of the investigative branch, it was not his job to make a decision to prosecute or not prosecute. He should have so stated that fact and put the bal into the court of the AG. He did not do this because he was willing to ‘take one for the team’

throughout his political life Biden has lied to enhance his resume, make himself look like a better person, or just to impress people. Now it’s hard to say if the dementia is the cause or his sociopathy? He may not even know where or when or why his son died he’s lied about it so long.

after meeting Slick Willie on the tarmac in Phoenix, Lynch was unlikely to indict Hillary, even if Obama would have allowed it. The Clintons don’t mess around with threats; they’re serious.

Agree.

Comey though should have not exonerated her.
