No one is arguing she wasn't careless. My point is, there was no breach(we would have seen some by now) and the emails weren't Top Top Secret.

And for the record, I don't agree with her setting up the server and am not really a fan of hers.

There are allegations of hacking, which is why I bring this up. I was careful to not say "she was hacked" because we don't know, and if the FBI found her server was breached and leaked it that would have serious adverse effects on any potential prosecution. It demonstrates prosecutorial bias, or it could be interpreted as such.

But she took willful steps to make her server less secure for her own wants. I have a real problem with someone who places such a low value on a top priority of office.

What we have to do is wait and see what falls out of the investigation and act appropriately once we have something concrete to go on. Then she's on the hook or not, legally speaking.

If you think there were no breach then I have to question your sanity. In any case there being a breach is irrelevant to potential charges she may be facing. She was negligent, period. She has lied over and over about this.

If she was smart she took the fifth like this during this inverview.

Are you making a moral or legal judgement? If the first then I'd agree. The second would require being able to cite a law which was in place at the time of her actions.

There are laws in regards to negligence that may or may not apply. I'm not aware of any law that says the data must have actually been stolen in order for there to be culpability.

I find the liberals dismissing the optics here to be breathtaking. To nobody on earth with an ounce of rational intellect would this look good. To look at the event without knowing what was said and concluding BC wasn't seeking some political advantage is as conspiratorial as to say that he was. There is nothing but partisanship coloring the views on both sides. But one cannot deny the facts of appearance. No sane mind operates on tha notion that if it walks like a duck it's a rose. The press shoul ask what the purpose of the meeting was.

Loretta Lynch herself admits that the meeting creates an appearance of conflict of interest and wishes she declined it. But had she turned him away that may have created its own problems, giving a stronger appearance that Bill was doing something he should have been which would have reflected worse on Hillary.

A lot of posts here make a very good point, why would Bill Clinton attempt to manipulate the investigation in a publicly visible meeting? But I don't really get why Bill didn't seem to realize it looks bad regardless. Maybe he's just getting senile.

What a lot of us have been saying for years is he doesn't seem to think the rules apply to him that apply to everybody else. This is just an example of that attitude.

Lynch was put in a very awkward situation by him requesting the meeting. She didn't handle it well.

From what I read the meeting was intentional for him but uninvited for her. He delayed his takeoff to be able to meet her. The security teams didn't have a clue it was going to happen until it was happening. Her team knew immediately it looked horrible for her.

So either her team intentionally leaked that to save face and damage control or...

Billy Bob pretty much said "Hey, nice plane there, it'd be a shame if it crashed", without even saying it. That or it was done intentionally to discredit her, question the investigation, remove her from the field of play, and warn everybody around her that if they don't play ball, Billary will fuck them over. Most likely it was the latter, a pure intimidation play.

Something like how when they were under attack for Monica they fought back by leaking as much as they could to destroy their enemies.

Doesn't want to rock the boat? What? put down whatever you are smoking. I believe the Repub congress had about 6 investigations into Benghazi alone. And you can go through the litany of BS issues they've investigated.
But how many administration officials were removed from office or prosecuted? They can make noise, but the shite hits the fan, they do nothing about it.

Of course I don't agree that they are BS issues. Just administration transparency.

Wonder if he ever gets out of his moms basement, I get a kick out of the Denver location and no knowledge of CO gun laws or Denver laws.
It's pretty sad. We're all hacks to a certain extent, he just takes it to new levels.

Let me present one. I don't know all the law, but this one mentions consequence for breaches.

From US Code Title 18 section 793(f)

(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

Defenders would say "what's gross negligence". I think in a court of law the pattern of disregard and demonstrated priorities of personal privacy over security coupled with refusing aid in correcting security deficiencies would quality. Hard to rationally argue that point.

Whether any other laws are applicable I cannot say, but this deals with consequences under certain contingencies. IF IF IF they happened then she's in trouble or should be. If the investigation shows no breach then of course she's off the hook as far as 793 is concerned.

Heh. Whatever it takes to compartmentalize & deny.

I'm still curious as to how you came to believe what you posted way back at #275.

My best crazy conspiracy theory explanation is that Bill actually wanted this to force Lynch into recusing herself because he has some reason to believe that a replacement would be more favorable.

Yeah, probably not, but it's really hard for me to understand why Bill would do this.

It likely was a simple faux pas that was instantly blown out of proportion for consumption by the Birther/Benghazi believers. Witness the conjecture & innuendo in this thread, the expressions of certainty as to what great conspiracy was discussed & why.

When your goggles are smeared with bullshit, everything looks bad.

Thanks, it looks like it needs to have been taken AND there needs to be knowledge that it was THEN they didn't report it. Some would argue that the transfer of classified material to her bathroom server was the "legally removed" aspect of this. Anybody who was aware of the server could be in trouble for this who sent her information in regards to the "national defense" through it.

. Was it bad optics? Absolutely! But that's about all it was.

Haha, right. Lynch hands a baseball bat to beat to death the notion that any sort of objective justice will be met out in the Clinton case to those interested in suggesting such will be the case and all it is is bad optics. It's not the optics alone, but the disaster our consequences. It was a first class fuck up.

Surely you realize there can be no objective evaluation of this event because all negative views of what happened are the result of partisan inculcated hate. I, for example, am blinded by my support of Sanders, or is it Trump, I forget.

He and his foundation, and his wife, is at the center of an fbi criminal (not security review) investigation that may involve over a hundred agents, subpoenas, testimony, plea bargains, extraditions, national spotlight...etc. He, a formerly barred attorney, state ag, governor, president who appointed ags, had a special prosecutor go after him, and his wife, another former attorney, committed an accidental fuck up "faux pas" while effectively ambushing the current ag, who is reponsible for said investigation, after holding up his own take off time by more than a half hour, while not announcing said meeting and it not being discovered until a singlr reporter got a tip and asked a single question?


I am trying to device whether you are too stupid to actually be a human, you are a partisan hack so blinded by your love of hillary, or you are just trolling.

Do you have any actual evidence to the contrary?

If not, all the accusations need to be framed properly as scurrilous speculation.
Here is what is hilarious. We need to have proof that he might have been trying to derail an investigation. If nobody can investigate them how can we ever get proof?

I really hope she gets indicted, if only to see you guys sputtering and spluttering and stammering and grasping for justifications on why this corrupt hag deserves to be president, because vagina.
