    Hillary was Secretary of State. There are specific laws requiring persons in positions such as that to conduct all official government business they do by electronic means on a government computer. One of the reasons for that is the files and documents created are to be archived. All classified government business must be done on a secure, government computer, no exceptions.
    Hillary knowingly circumvented all of that in using a private server.

    Documents and information that is classified can and usually is transmitted as such between secure servers and terminals at the time it is created. There is no lag between classification and transmission. Under no circumstances would classified information--or even potentially classified information--be transmitted to a private unsecure server legally.

    The Trump administration declined to prosecute her. End of story.

    Here is the same thing again:

    Hillary Clinton comes across in the FBI interviews as a disengaged tech user who sees the communication tools as little more than a means to an end. She has, according to multiple aides, never even learned how to use a desktop computer.

    Even that article clearly states, even if inadvertently, that Hillary knowingly was doing this shit

    Except that what Clinton turned to others for help with wasn’t an Amazon purchase or reading CNN.com: She needed help managing a massive trove of communications about the inner workings of the nation’s diplomacy and national security. Over the course of five years, those emails lived first in her Chappaqua, New York, basement, then later in a data center in New Jersey, then they were FedExed across the country and possibly copied onto a thumb drive before being printed out, sorted and handed back to the State Department in 12 bankers’ boxes.

    More dissembling that really is an admission of her guilt:

    Clinton didn’t like the idea of carrying around two devices—one for official government work and one for personal or political correspondence, which is discouraged on government accounts. So she opted instead to carry only a single device, a personal BlackBerry, linked to a newly registered email account on a private domain, clintonemail.com, that was run off a recycled server from her unsuccessful presidential bid the year before.

    The whole article tries to apologize and dissemble for the Hildabeast. She's fucking guilty as fuck of violating a whole raft of laws on government documents.

    No, not the end. Trump and his DOJ were obviously smart enough not to go after the person he just defeated in an election. That would have been seen as vindictive and politically motivated. On the other hand, now we have the moron Joke and his DOJ that look poised to do exactly that to a person that has a good possibility of being his opponent in the next election.

    I'd say the Left, Joke, and his Minions of Ignorance are fucking retarded if they think that's a good idea. Sometimes you toss the small fish back to keep things in balance in the pond rather than viciously fishing it to death.

    Wow, Terry. You can always be counted upon to defend Trump at every turn.

She went far beyond the other two in using what amounted to a secret private personal server that was illegal in its entirety to receive classified information on. Even her intent was clearly felonious and criminal. At least in Trump's and Biden's case, the documents were just mishandled with no overt intent (at least none at this point) to misuse them intentionally.
    Sure but the problem you have is that you are lying.

    Trump had no credible defense. NONE.


    Lying under Oath in a sworn affidavit and Obstruction of Justice are not waved even if you grant Trump declassified them (which he did not).


    They are still government documents Trump has no right to possess and when he has his lawyers swear out a statement they gave them all back, while actively hiding them, that is the crime Trump did, that no one else did. Thus why Trump gets charged and no one else does.

    Nope. It was an explanation of a new system for government being handed to a person unfamiliar and uncomfortable with technology. You rightys cobble together some nefarious scenarios, where none exist. The reds investigated her a dozen times and could nothing. You should have testified. That would have given the committees a laugh.

    Don't forget about the data that was classified after the fact.

In the case of Joke and the Hildabeast, they had no such authority and were, and are, clearly in violation of law and rules covering the handling of classified documents. "I didn't know" isn't an excuse to not be charged. Possession, regardless of intent, is sufficient evidence to charge someone with mishandling classified documents.

    I'm being fair about this, you on the other hand, are letting your terminal case of TDS get in the way.
    Like he declassified those M-a-L docs just by thinking it.

    INTENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. POSSESSION IS SUFFICIENT FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES.
    His intentions may have been "honorable and good" but his brain was stuck on stupid for flouting the regulations.
