    Betting the FBI and the career prosecutors at the DOJ know the law better than most journalists.

    Which means we have the potential for multiple head's of journalists exploding when charges are announced.

    LOL.

    I don't know how the FBI and DOJ will be able to defend charging Gen. David Petraeus and not Clinton, but they may chose to try and so do.

    Yes. Liberals continue to flout common decency.

    Now tell us more about the size of Trump's cock.

    3, 2, 1 for YF to tell us that Trump is a liberal.

    The Petraeus comparison is so disingenuous. He intentionally gave classified information to a person unauthorized to receive it. It was an intentional act. Clinton kept classified information on an unsecured server. If indeed the classified information was hacked, it was unintentional.

    These aren't the same thing.

    Petraeus, what a dummy ... all he had to do was inadvertently leave the information out there where this unauthorized person might have accessed it.

    What does the law say about handling classified documents in such a careless way?

    If what both Patraeus and Clinton did was illegal, then the comparison is relevant.

    If my kid hauls off and kicks the other one on purpose, he's in pretty big trouble. If my kid is running and not paying attention and accidentally kicks the other one, he is in considerably less trouble.

    Ok.

    So, should Clinton be in trouble?

    No charges = no trouble.

    It's relevant. I guess. But this statement is stupid:

    I don't know how the FBI and DOJ will be able to defend charging Gen. David Petraeus and not Clinton, but they may chose to try and so do.

    The answer is: BECAUSE PETRAEUS INTENTIONALLY GAVE AWAY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND CLINTON DID NOT.

    Take off your Hillary hate blinders for a minute. They aren't the same thing.

    We should punish the whole country for her egregious behavior by electing a buffoonish reality television game show host.

    So, we're arguing about degrees of criminality?

    Ok.

    Let a judge and jury decide what the punishment should be.

    You can't just let it go because it's not as criminal as what someone else did.
