Marine’s defense for disseminating classified information will cite Hillary Clinton’s case

A Marine Corps officer who has been locked in a legal battle with his service after self-reporting that he improperly disseminated classified information will use Hillary Clinton’s email case to fight his involuntary separation from the service, his lawyer said.

Maj. Jason Brezler’s case has been tied up in federal court since he sued the service in December 2014. He became a cause celebre among some members of Congress, Marine generals and military veterans after he sent a classified message using an unclassified Yahoo email account to warn fellow Marines in southern Afghanistan about a potentially corrupt Afghan police chief. A servant of that police official killed three Marines and severely wounded a fourth 17 days later, on Aug. 10, 2012, opening fire with a Kalashnikov rifle in an insider attack.

Bowe said it is impossible to reconcile President Obama’s statement that Clinton’s intentional act of setting up a secret, unsecured email server did not detract “from her excellent ability to carry out her duties” while Brezler received a “completely opposite finding… involving infinitely less sensitive and limited information.”

No court will find that what the non-court FBI decided in any way establishes a legal precedent. Ever.

Waste of argument. Courts always reject this sort of argument. The fact that somebody else escaped prosecution on the same facts is irrelevant, their case isn't before the court (and even if it was, courts have no duty to be consistent either).

“No court will find that what the non-court FBI decided in any way establishes a legal precedent. Ever.”

Actually, they do.

If Comey helps some unfortunate Marine being persecuted by the Obama Administration’s homo centric Zampolits and Gaystapo for obstructing Afghan’s Obama given right to abuse and bugger little boys - well, some balance and justice may be restored to the world.

I don’t understand, the Clinton defense only works if your name is Clinton

The DOJ decided not to indict.

[Edward.Fish]

That took less time than I expected.

Legalities don’t matter. This is politics and public relations. Make enough noise, contact enough bloggers, get your case on TV. There’s a chance the pressure becomes too much.

[VerySadAmerican]

Cops don’t have to be consistent either. They can pull over three cars for speeding and let two of them go while writing a ticket to the third driver.

[Vendome]

I was shocked as well....

The Hillary Defense only works if you can get the Attorney General to meet with you secretly.

[Herman Ball]

The Military is at the bottom of the list when it comes to equality. They like the rest of America’s middle to lower class are expendable and can not afford Justice.

[Dawgreg]

Good! I hope every last one is overturned and they’re compensated for money lost as well as reputations.......

[Secret Agent Man]

Everyone will do it.

Just print up a card, My Name is Hillary Clinton.

Anytime joe law or anyone comes by giving you grief, show them the card.

Arbitrary enforcement of the laws means nobody is under the law.
