Explain this to me like I'm a second-grader

She's just too dumb to understand technology and the consequences of its misuse. But she'd make a great president.

 

If she ever runs for President of IT Services, she's lost my vote.

 

Yeah, guess I should have used the complete quote:

Yes, he does say they are kicking the case despite the evidence because of a lack of "intent," and because of the "context" of Hillary's actions. That's why he mentioned that people who do what she did would face consequences. The reason it isn't being prosecuted, he said, is because it doesn't involve "willful mishandling" or "vast quantities" of classified material, which would imply intent, or "disloyalty" or an attempt to obstruct justice (though it could be argued that the reason for this whole issue was Hillary's attempt to keep her work e-mails -- part of the public record -- away from the public).

 

They didn't specifically need that portion for a criminal conviction.

That's besides the point.

I just think it's worth pointing out to all the "no harm, no foul" folks that there very likely was real harm done. Does that matter to anyone? Maybe not.

Rickstain and Cran probably don't give a shit, but she was extremely careless.

And, we should be clear, that if this was someone else employed in our security apparatus, and the same decision was made not to prosecute, it wouldn't mean they would escape penalty:

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

At the very least, anyone else would be fired, stripped of their security clearance, and be unable to ever reapply for a security clearance, or work for a federal contractor dealing with security issues.

Hillary?

We're turning over the keys to the whole operation to her.

 

John McCain's too dumb to use email!

 

And yet: Who do you think would be the more careless president?

 

At some point we should chronicle all of the lies Hillary told the public and the press that were exposed by the FBI investigation.

A quick list includes:

- Never sent or received classified information
- Set up server so she could use just one device
- Made no effort to ensure her emails were "captured" by the Department of State
- Turned over all work related email
- Attorneys read all emails before deciding what to keep and what to delete
- Didn't know what it even meant to "wipe" a server, or device.

Usually the press gets pissed when a politician lies to their face, and gets caught.

Instead, in this case, the press is leading the cheerleading for her.

 

You gonna pull an all-nighter?

 

Trump works in a very competitive field. I thinks he's very careful about not letting his competition know what he's up to.

If there's some evidence to the contrary you'd like to share, I'd be happy to look at it.

 

I ask only for a (hopefully non-Baron) clarification. But this ...

What is the resolution of this? Was it classified when she sent/received it, was it classified after the fact, or is it only being judged now as something that "should have been" classified?

 

LOL. Do your own work.
