Hillary Resume:
“ I accepted one of the most highly sensitive jobs in the world that I was not qualified for as CEO with a new company(State Dept). I thoroughly read their regulations and eagerly signed their disclosure. I even had a multitude of free company lawyers at my disposal to guide me through the legal ramifications in the event I didn’t fully understand what I was reading.

I was concerned that entitled shareholders (citizens) may want to legally read through my communications to make sure I wasn’t corrupt, or playing for the competition (foreign enemies). But because it was noone’s business what personal emails I was sending or receiving, I chose to purchase and run ALL of my company (Government) and personal communications through an unsecured and highly hackable network that no one could see......not even my boss, or the shareholders. I even refused to use the company mandated, secure network.

At the end of my challenging (disastrously failed) 4 year tenure whereby some associates were placed in difficult positions (died), I instructed my personal lawyers (plural) to review ALL emails, personal and company related emails amassed in my personal network during my reign. My lawyers alone chose which emails were considered personal. They personally didn’t read each one before deletion, even though I said they did. Not my fault.

Americans, Please entrust me with your future.”
Hillary

Of 66,000 total emails admitted to, 33,000 were deemed personal.....and were summarily deleted by her personal lawyers....without legal advice from the company’s legal department.

That’s right. She sent roughly 30 personal emails and 30 company emails per day....for every day She was in the job. 50% of her communications were personal. When was she doing her job?

Why doesn’t anyone ask her were there any texts? That’s where the gold is....IMHO

She knew exactly what the markings meant. She knew that she could get the most money for top secret material, not as much for secret, and practically nothing for confidendial.

With all my heart, I hope Trump wins and IMMEDIATELY starts cleaning house in the federal government, IRS, FBI, all of them. Out with the old and corrupt, in with the new and law-abiding.

The question is not about the markings. It is about HOW DID THE MATERIAL MAKE THE JUMP FROM THE CLASSIFIED SYSTEM TO THE UNCLASSIFIED SYSTEM. Please tell us FBI how did that happen? And is that a crime?

Looks like the FBI’s chief liaison to Capitol Hill, Jason V. Herring, has been sent out to catch the spear and make a fool of himself.

Jason V. Herring saves Hillary money on toilet paper.

They'd sew Herring's face in place, but then Hillary would walk funny.

Well, even more funny than she already does...

This is blitheringly stupid pretzel-logic reasoning, never mind that “intent” is not in the statutes HRC violated. It is not in the statutes precisely because the law was specifically written to exclude this “I didn’t know” excuse. It is not in the statutes because the seriousness with which the State Department and many other entities within the government rightly take the maintenance of secrecy regarding the top secret information these departments routinely transact in, every day and every hour.

HRC had knowledge and intent because she never had created and thus obviously never signed on to the government secure email account that should have been created and was offered to her as the proper venue upon which to maintain her email communications.

By not allowing nor using such an account, she in absolute effect declared that NONE of her communications would EVER be TS and likewise declared that whatever vetting MIGHT be applied to such communications would be applied ONLY AFTER some time after she had received or retransmitted them, if ever, by parties unknown and unknowable. After all, she never even went to any authority and retroactively pointed to any cluster of messages and stated that they were of a highly sensitive nature and should be placed into some more secure cubbyhole or server or account better than the one she used. Which means that even if she declared herself the ultimate arbiter of TS or not, she never acted in any way as if she was in receipt or possession of any such materials. Her activities ratified her disregard of the security and espionage laws.

The banality of this excuse is just like saying “I did not know the car I was driving had the capability of killing someone should I happen to hit them or run over them, so I should be absolved from the responsibility of having killed or injured them”. It is completely absurd, it is an appeal to second-grade logic and I am being generous. The fact of the matter is that communication to and from the Department of State is or should be Top Secret until declared otherwise. Not the other way around.

Well if that’s the case , why did it take them a year to do the investigation ?

The fibbie shovel-leaners needed suck up some SWEET overtime, and pad their pension years.

Most people would call that fraud, but they got guns, so you'd best shut up about it...

I didn’t know the FBI liked to defend criminals. I’m sure they would treat us the same way if we did something wrong.

Ask the children of the Branch Davidians how the FBI treats you.

The corruption of the USA is finally out in the open. If Omama was trying to show how corrupt the USA really is then he has succeeded. The USA is a corrupt banana republic run by corrupt crimnals. There is no more free media. It was nice when we at least thought that we lived in a free country.

Ah. but law is clear that intent is not factor in this case. She is guilty with or without intent. And someone in her position would know anyways- she has been in government for years.

Too bad the Bundys out in Oregon learned too late that they were dealing with farce enlawment, instead of real law enforcement.

Contemptible Praetorians, as it were...

The FBI already determined unanimously that there is insufficient evidence of criminal wrongdoing,” Mr. Cummings said.

TOTAL BULL, Cummings. The FBI never said that. In fact they said totally the opposite. What they said was even though there was overwhelming evidence of criminal wrongdoing, they decided ( even though that was not their job to do so ) to recommend not to prosecute.
