"That's your narrative. They had her dead to rights for both possessing and disseminating classified information, full stop." - Dope
Dope, do you remember when you brought this up many, many years ago just after Clinton was exonerated? You were obviously up in arms and thought the fix was in because your political masters told you to be up in arms by Hillary getting off with no criminal charges and you always do what your political masters tell you what to do. You even repeated a link to the law that Hilary supposedly violated. Like with many of your links, you obviously didn't read it (or comprehend it) because YOUR OWN LINK, said that intent had to be there for it to be a crime. A person has to knowingly and willingly possess classified information (or disseminate it). It said that clearly IN YOUR OWN link.
All of the classified information in Hilary Clinton's emails was there without her knowledge. It was all in emails that were sent to her without her knowledge that it might contain information that was classified. Any emails she forwarded (or replied to) she did so thinking they contained non-classified information. It was clear there was no intent.
Furthermore, it would have been easy for prosecutors to prove intent. All it would have taken was one of the thousands of people interviewed to testify that she asked them to send her classified information. They could have testified that she asked them to copy and paste information from the classified system into an email and send it to her. Any of them could have testified that they told her the information sent to her was classified.
Yet none of the thousands of people interviewed could do that.
If I send you classified information to you in an email without telling you it is classified, you cannot be prosecuted for possessing that information. Even if you forward that email on to your mother, you cannot be prosecuted. Intent has to be demonstrated and that couldn't be done.
This was explained to you in your own link, this could be explained by reading the FBI summary that was widely available in almost every news story about the topic at the time.
Yet you continue to ignore that simple fact. You do this because that seems to be the only way you can make arguments. To make the arguments you make, you have to be willing to ignore the obvious. It makes you look like an idiot by ignoring the obvious, but apparently you are ok with that.
Other facts that you always choose to ignore:
1. Most of the Bush administration used private email servers and not only did they use private email servers, it has been demonstrated that there was classified information on those servers. Every single Sec. of State under that served under Bush had classified information in their private emails. It was because it was the way the underlings at the State Department (the career, non-political underlings). The State Department has had a long history of being lax with classified information (it is in their nature). So it was not uncommon for career service people to cut and paste from a classified document to an email. So despite Hilary having done what every Secretary of State had done before her, you have never ever said anything about anyone else being prosecuted. In fact, during the Bush administration when it became public knowledge that most high level officials were using private emails, you defended the practice.
That is called a double standard.
2. Donald Trump was found in possession of hundreds of classified documents after he left office. Not only was he found with these hundreds of documents, but there are also people who are willing to testify under oath that they were asked by Trump to move the boxes containing the documents so that they wouldn't be found. That is a clear demonstration of intent. Yet you have never ever had any problem with that. It fact you have often defended it.
That makes you a hypocrite.
You are demonstrably willfully ignorant and a hypocrite. Do you really wonder why you have the poor reputation you have?
