Dude, you are becoming a real bore. This is getting monotonous, just like playing with any stubborn dog who refuses to let go of the tennis ball gets after awhile.
From Media Matters:
So the issue was also one of LEGAL PRECEDENT. No case with the same or a similar set of circumstances had ever been prosecuted before.
Furthermore:
So, as far back as 1941 the SCOTUS ruled that in order to prosecute under the Espionage Act, there was in fact, a requirement of malicious intent to harm the nation.
Period.
The rest of your blathering I will not bother with except...
Too funny how, when it suits your bullshit argument, exact wording suddenly counts, but when it comes to Comey's description of what Clinton did, "....well this can mean that, etc, etc.".
Look up the definition of the word "paraphrasing" dipshit.
Then give it up.
media matters?? I'll stick with Blacks law dictionary thank you. At least you've come around to the idea that Comey's phrase of "extreme carelessness" is the same as "gross negligence as shown by the QUORA link.
I can't quote your quote boxes,and if you're too lazy to put them into usable format, i'm not going to use my time to to it.
But quoting media maters and Dan Abrams is of little value - especially when we do have case law that shows intent is not needed.
(Dog's link's earlier page -i showed 2 of them)
Further the 1941 case,,what is it? I see no reference to the title of the case.
So how do I know that ruling was only on subsection(f)(1). In all cases subsection 2 requires intent.
If you want to paraphase- fine - but mention that, especially if you are making a legal argument
But i am looking only at subsection 1 - that is a stand alone subsection that does not require intent.
Comey is a fine investigator,and I do not disagree with any of his findings -but he's not a prosecutor.
Even showing extreme carelessness to secrecy is reprehensible by Clinton -especially when she set up the private server
for her own secrecy protection.She put her needs above those of her office of Sec of State.
at minimum she needed to be subject to administrative sanctions. State dept didn't even sanction her for any classification
violations, of which there are many ( intent or not).
Fortunately "we the people" gave her the ultimate sanction and denied her Office of President.
Instant karma maybe, but good enough to keep her out of DC-so it did all work out in that respect.
