The reason this is ALL about politics now and NOTHING about what the "investigation" is about is because Comey's letter BOMB timing means there can't be any more known about what's behind it until AFTER the election.

 

Yes, and moreover, I think voters will see through this soon after the initial shock headlines. Comey himself admits neither he, nor any agent has seen the contents, so essentially he is peddling hot air at this point. But, just the mere mention of additional emails has sent this crazy election into a spin cycle to end at the 11th hour.

she thinks she's president already.  you can not "demand" anything from the FBI.  they will do their job in a bipartisan manner much to the chagrin of Big Bill and Queen Bee Hilary. The director did the right thing by re-opening the investigation despite objections by the Attorney General, Bravo

The right thing is arrest her and charge her her. She should be in the holding cells. Not talking about ruling a nation. She may fair well in Thailand

 I have a security clearance and have had one for 35 years and work in the defense industry.  If anybody had done any little piece of what she had done, they would have been stripped of their security clearance, fired, and most likely prosecuted.  The arrogance to even consider using ones own mail server and email address is still to me un fathomable.  Not to mention that all government employees are given security briefings, and email accounts.  Her motives, while not necessarily criminal in nature, show ridiculous judgement.  Her actions certainly were criminal and she should be prosecuted.  Sentencing may be light but she should be prosecuted.

 

The same here. As a UK OS Act signatory and embedded USA DoD contractor I also worked with the more sensitive, complex electronic toys necessary to support modern warfare somewhere out in harms way - I have followed this case closely since the implications of HC's extremely clumsy handling of Top Secret information( and even higher classified documents) could directly impact my own safety and that of younger friends still out in the lands of the rising sword.

 

I will hazard a guess that most folks just do not understand how secret the information was that Hilary had on her household server and many other mobile devices, nor how easy it was for hostile actors to hack into (Even a Romanian Taxi driver hacked into her server)

 

For a better understanding, view the short clip below where the deputy head of  Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)  explains that not even their office had sufficient clearance to see the messages at ORCON secret level and had to be verbally 'Read in' to 'retracted/sanitized' secret documents.

Well- if she broke the law indict her. However, she didn't break the law and all the talk of emails is baloney- The FBI director - a Republican no less- did not see fit to recommend indictment. Now, all of a sudden he sends a nebulous letter to Congress which should be confidential stating he may have some new information on emails he has never seen and information that he doesn't have details on. Come on- either you got something or you don't. If you got it produce it- if you don't shut the hell up. Complete incompetence by the Director to match 2 candidates who are incompetent. I am voting for the less incompetent- Hillary but its going to be a long 4 years.

Just so funny that now clinton wants all the facts on the table.. 

Thats after she set up a secret server, denied having classified documents go through it, deleted work emails from it.. Used bleachbit scrubbing software to forensically destroy emails removing chance of evaluation.. And obfuscated, outright lied, and generally used every nuanced careful act of half truth possible to cover it up.. 

 

And NOW she wants all the facts on the table.. If she hadnt deleted emails, and actually handed everything over to state as she was legally obligated, there wouldnt be anything to hide !!

You've been reading Fox News again, haven't you?

That's the only reason I can think that anyone would repeat this nonsense.

 

If I told you I hacked into her mail server, would you believe me?

Republicans, including the AG, seem to suffer from collective OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).  My high school girlfriend was like that.  She would get an idea stuck in her brain (usually about me messing around with another girl) and she would verbalize that thought every 5 minutes, for weeks.  It wouldn't so much matter (to her) whether the accusation was true, but it mattered that the issue was so important to her.  Once, after I had been playing music with my buddies, I came home and found her standing next to a wall with spittle running down from her mouth.  She had been knocking her head against a wall for two hours. 

 

Republicans, in their OCD attack-dog mode, are going to keep attacking HRC until they die.  Even after they leave office, they'll be obsessed with trying to get muck to stick to her.   Healthy-minded people would launch a legal attack one time, and then abide by the results of a commission or trial.  It's like the one candidate who says (as no other candidate in US history has said) that if his opponent wins, it will be proof that the system is rigged in her favor.   Trump is an appropriate leader for Republicans.  They reflect his sick mind.

Trump doesn't want anyone to believe the 12 women who have come forth because there is no 'evidence'. Why should I believe Hillary is guilty of anything as there is no 'evidence' that has been presented.

 

She DESTROYED 30,000 emails despite being instructed not to, she wiped the drive with sophisticated cleaning software

 

Absolute crass stupidity if she was not guilty, so she is either STUPID or GUILTY

 

So unsuitable to be president on both counts

Please explain to me how Donald Trump is qualified to be President? He has no plan; his temperament is hostile; he denigrates everyone he considers unworthy of his presence and he has no experience. Do you really want this person in charge of your destiny. I could care less about deleted emails- at least she has qualifications and won't destroy America with the remainder of the World.  I would rather have a qualified  person with a private email server than an incompetent, narcissistic meglomaniac that thinks only of himself.  If it was possible- I would disqualify both of them and get 2 new candidates to run. In fact, let's do that and delay the election 6 months. How about it? How about Bernie Sanders for the Dems and Paul Ryan for the Repubs.

Have you heard of presumption of innocence (until proven guilty)?

Hopefully the Dems will have held something else back in the bag to swing the pendulum back in their favour again.

 

They did the "woefully unfit".

They did the non-payment of taxes.

They did the misogyny and groping.

Did they keep any ammo back?

Unfortunately, there are very few qualifications to be President.  Heck, the way the electoral voting system works, it technically isn't even a popularity contest because the popular vote doesn't necessarily determine the winner.

 

Qualifications for the Office of President

Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1

Term limit amendment - US Constitution, Amendment XXII, Section 1 - ratified February 27, 1951

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

I have read and researched Section 798 many times over the course of my career, so I am well-versed in application of its provisions.

 

For the third time, which actions of Hillary Clinton violated one or more of those provisions, or any other federal criminal statutes, in order to justify a criminal prosecution, as you state?

You may ask, but it is pointless to answer since you are simply being argumentative and clearly not reading nor understanding the very first paragraph.  JL Crab provided the answer but I will also.

 

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person

 

In addition, I am sure she should be prosecuted for obstructing justice, hindering the investigation, etc.

You quote a section of the statute, yet continue to be unwilling to point to actions by Clinton which violated that or any other provision of the law.

 

In short, you have nothing to offer, like many others posting here, despite your initial claim to have familiarity with the security clearance parameters in the US. Just another poser quoting FOX News sound bites....

why are you such an obtuse person?  I did quote the statute directly, para (a) the lead off paragraph that she violated, admits she violated, that other people that were unauthorized to see the information have admitted to seeing it, and by definition of the server being where it was several unauthorized personnel got access to.  I guess you are just one of those people that have some need to go off on tangents.  so be it.  Oh and I don't watch nor quote Fox.  and I assume from you acidity that you don't think Clinton did anything wrong, violated no policies or laws?  That in itself is a joke.  The very fact of having the email server violates governmental policies, and violation of those policies can be grounds for disciplinary action.  I assure you, government employees are NOT authorized to have private email servers, capture and store government emails, etc.  How hundreds of people did not notice or report her email domain that unless being spoofed had to be different from the standard .gov domains used is another story and I would love to hear the details on that one

You continue to spout these talking points, conflating policies and laws, yet seem to be unable provide any evidence of the statements you make.

 

1. When did she admit violating any provision of 18 USC 798?

2. Which unauthorized individuals admitted seeing information which was classified at the time it was viewed?

3. Violating a government policy may well be grounds for disciplinary action, but there is a vast difference between that and committing a crime, which you unequivocally stated. You said she committed a crime, and have offered not a shred of verifiable evidence for that assertion.

4. Provide authority for the assertion that"... government employees are NOT authorized to have private email servers, capture and store government emails, etc."

 

I don't think you will be able to answer these questions with links to reliable sources.

I dont pretend to be politically minded.Its all the same to me.No matter who gets in,the people will be moaning about them in time.But i read a very interesting thing some time ago,and i read it on Google.That a very high percentage of the,then,senate had criminal records.Among them being the tax thing,dealings with prostitutes and street hookers.Also driving offences by the bucket load.
I am not sure whether its still available,but i had to read it.I even think it was published.

Careful chap :passifier:

 

I'll leave it to Reuters(see link below) to fill in the holes about the Romanian Hackers exploits - there are more, very reputable sources out their without referring to the Fox News comedy show. I tend to shy away from the usual alphabet soup US news networks who together with the BBC and ABC all have their own comically obvious, political slant.

 

It should be noted that such a gifted hacker was old 'Guccifer' (convicted in this exploit) that the US government had him extradited to take down his email server hacking activities. I bet he spent a few hours 'having his face washed under towel' so as to get to the bottom of the story.

 

I will suggest that if hostile actors of this low level, knew of and had the ability to successfully hack into HC's basement server and mobile devices provably holding the USA's highest classified ORCON secrets, then consider what resources a hostile government might throw at this tempting cache to exploit it. :shock1:

Look, Clinton is toast. For Comey to act as he did means one of two things. Either there is something really serious which will sink HRC, or her party and behind the scenes backers think she bring the system down with scandal if she were ever elected.

Even the legacy media are tearing her a new one, all she has left are the diehard rags such as Vox, Slate and Being liberal. Not forgetting some of our esteemed members who will go down with the ship rather than face facts.

Which facts?? The FBI is saying the now discovered mails may be "pertinent" to their investigation of HRC. Only yesterday, 2 days after the letter to Congress, did the FBI obtain a warrant allowing them to even look at the said mails. Can anybody say that the said letter isn't politically motivated?

The FBI is really in a real serious pickle here. It relates to the legal requirement that there be an unbroken chain of custody of items of evidence to be used in a criminal trial. One break in the chain and the chain is busted...inadmissible. Nada. So, unless the FBI has perfectly preserved any possible evidence, and crossed all the Ts and dotted every i, there will be legal challenges to the integrity of any proffered evidence. Not having a warrant to view the emails will be such a break in the chain, and even if they are damning emails, will be of no avail to be used in bringing charges against Clinton.

 

Comey, as a lawyer, knows this, and for that reason, we can assume that either somebody peeked at the emails and whispered in Comey's ear they are damning, and if that someone is at FBI, it is the fruit of the poison tree.  No dice. So, Comey has to either pretend nobody at FBI has seen them until they got the warrant, which already smacks untrue, or any disclosures will be shown to be de minimus, which means he acted purely in a political act of anarchy.

 

He is screwed both ways.

There are no answers you would accept so it would be pointless.  She admitted de facto by the very fact she had the email server at her house and people under her employ that maintained the server had access it to.  I already said that in a previous post but of course you are simply trying to be argumentative and acting quite silly and will ignore everything .  Now you think to assert your point 4 that government employees can use private email servers?    Now you are showing how inane you are to even assert that that may be so.  Run along and get back to your paper route.
