Re: clinton walks
I said all along that she had not broken any laws in existence at that time. That is indeed what the FBI Director said...there was no evidence of "intentional" releasing of top secret or confidential matters. "Intentional" is a high bar. It was NOT against the law at that time to use a personal server or non-govt email account.
He said she had been careless, but that doesn't rise to the level of intent.
The far right people have been convincing themselves that what she and her staff did in using a personal email account (like Jeb Bush did) was illegal. IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL. So that was never a consideration. The question was whether she and others had INTENTIONALLY released information.
The prosecutor could still choose to prosecute, but it sounds like that would be a personal thing, since such a situation has never been prosecuted before. But the righties like to make exceptions for Democrats.
I said this all along, but righties don't listen. If it makes you feel better, the investigation results were still harmful in that it concludes that she and her staff were very careless with the security information being sent in emails.
The system is rigged
