You said “never discussed classified information.” Whether or not Clinton talked in person about classified matters has no relevance to the content of her emails. That she didn’t use email for classified information is very plausible, as many people in government will tell you. There are separate email systems for classified communications, which have nothing to do with regular Internet email.
So if I destroyed the figures that are “evidence” of economic growth, I have committed a crime? The OP is talking about destruction of evidence being an act that deserves jail.
And his opinion then is also valid, just like mine. The reason why Hillary is not in Jail is because she did not brake the rules, and previous Secretaries had used personal e-mails, of course the rules have changed so what Hillary did does look iffy now and even I think she has been shamed already about it. But that is the result of retroactively applying the new law.
IMHO this scandal is just following the same pattern as previous Clinton scandals, the extreme right pushes it so hard and goes so over the top with the accusations that most of the people then end up siding with the Clintons because the extreme rightists fighting the “monster” end up looking like one or they become one by forcing the law by doing efforts that do look monstrous and worse than the alleged bad thing a Clinton did.
On the matter of drones it is unlikely that the “bomb, bomb Iran” team would limit the use of the drones. It is clear that they would use them more.
Her attorney reviewing the emails is SOP. It’s his career on the line if he sanctions spoliation of evidence.
There is more than a single party to emails. If she knowingly destroyed “evidence” then all someone has to do is find one of those emails. Further, she is incredibly open to blackmail if she has taken this route because someone(s) (potentially) has evidence that she committed a crime. Seems kind of dumb to me.
As a Democratic voter, I don’t really like it at all. There was no reason for deletion. Backup is just as simple and allows for further retrieval should the discovery request change. It just lends an air of cover-up when it need not.
Well, at least Democrats still are concerned about civil liberties and the rights of the accused for ONE person. That’s one more than I thought it was this morning.
The republicans who pursued both her and her husband (then president) over Whitewater and spent three years and $70 million to ultimately catch the president for lying to congress about a blowjob.
This time though the republicans will go easy on her? I mean clearly the OP knows a crime was committed so it can only be that the republicans are covering up for her this time. Why would they? I can only guess it is something only the OP is privy to.
Doesn’t really apply until HRC is arrested or indicted. At present she is “accused” of nothing. The court of public opinion is a different matter, of course. But I’m confident that court will acquit her in November 2016.
I have to think she’s a shoe-in for at least her daughter’s and her husband’s vote. And she’ll likely vote for herself. That’s three pretty solid votes.
Plus, me (if she gets the nomination). So, there’s four at least.
Do you really believe that liberals/Democrats are less concerned about civil liberties and the rights of the accused than conservatives/Republicans. Perhaps yes for the recent spate of accusations against the police, but in general? Really?
I’m trying really hard to figure out what is so “fucking mind boggling” about this. Is it that she is running for President after losing in the last primary, like Reagan once did? Or is it that she is running for President after previously serving as Secretary of State, like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, or Martin Van Burden?
“Demographic Warfare”, according to things I’ve been reading elsewhere on this board.
Frankly, I agree. We must act quickly if we are to have any hope of preventing this Clinton woman from ruthlessly employing WMD (Weapons of Mass Demographics) against defenseless Republicans. It may already be too late.
