I don’t think only that applies. The fact they were miss handled by Hillary after her original briefing rises to criminal status from what I remember.
Her intent was clearly to evade public disclosure laws, not malice, and there is no need even to prove her real motive. The outcome though was obvious. Anyone in the business who didn’t think to hack her server would by now have been either fired or executed.
Malice is not a requirement for prosecution on this crime. I knew several people who “merely” mishandled Top Secret material who were prosecuted and imprisoned for the crime. It’s Hillary, so the rules don’t apply, but if she were a real person she’d already have been convicted.
Just so much horse shit.
Intent has NO bearing.
I didn’t mean to kill him, just beat hell out of him.
Still going to jail for murder regardless.
Bitch Hill should already be behind bars.
Were it you or i we would be.
These unnamed "US officials" probably spoke on the condition of anonymity because they have no clue whatsoever how the probe is actually going and they're trying to "try the case in the court of public opinion".
That isn't going to happen and if you're too chickenshit to come out on the record, closeted "Shrillary!" supporter, don't expect me to believe you.
Intent has no baring on the law.
Jim Snowden could say his intent in teleasing all his top secret info was not to hurt the US, well okay then here’s your pass.
so is avoiding FOIA malicious? I’d say so.
The statute in question has NO PART that mentions intent.
Mishandling of classified material is a felony (IIRC) no matter if it is intentional or not.
And putting classified material in an “open” system speaks volumes about intent to commit espionage, IMO.
What the hell has intent got to do with it. A person running a clearly-posted stop sign and killing a family in a subsequent car wreck didn’t have intent. So “not guilty?” Total disregard for the law and personal negligence are in play here, not intent.
Intention to avoid accountability is malicious.
Period.
Full stop.
End of story.
This is the new meme coming out of the White Hut. “She didn’t do on purpose, she meant no harm” So the Hillbots will give her a pass.

Luckily the law doesn’t give a crap if she had malicious or any other type of intent. All that matters is that she did it.
