    I'm a veteran who used to have a Top Secret (SCI) security clearance.

    If I had ever taken any classified information out of the controlled areas
    I would have been prosecuted, jailed, busted to Airman Basic E-1 and
    given a dishonorable discharge which would have effected me the rest
    of my life.

    Hillary has been given a pass. She should never be given a pass for
    jeopardizing our national security. Never.

    I am curious. Can you identify the law she is said to have violated? Specifically quote the Code, Chapter, paragraph. Because I hear this a lot but I have never seen any specific allegations. The FBI investigated and found charges were not warranted, so please enlighten me - where did they go wrong?

    I don't think she need a "pass" from you.

    The FBI investigated...and said that no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges.

    This may surprise you, but the FBI's opinion carries more weight than yours.

    This is where Google is your friend, yes? You can find numerous articles listing the laws and rules which Secretary Clinton circumvented by using her private server. The one I like is in the Independent Journal Review, and lists the following three laws (snipped and shortened):

    The whole article is worth a read...

    I have read that article. It was written when the email issue first arose, and before the FBI determined that she had not broken any laws.

    In relation to the first point, "Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send of store classified information on personal email." this is incorrect. Neither EO 13526 nor 793(f) refer to email, either personal or otherwise. EO 13526 is very long and I have not gone through it in detail, but if you can tell me which provision of it she is alleged to be in breach of, and the range of penalties available for that breach, I should be grateful.

    In order to be in breach of 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code Clinton would have had to be "grossly negligent". I understand she worked to make her personal server secure and hired people to ensure that was the case. In this she was diligent, not negligent let alone grossly negligent.

    As to point 2, all of her work related emails have been recorded or copied to state department systems, so there is no breach of that. There may have been a delay in making the copies, but as I understand it all of her work related emails are available.

    For point 3, if her work related emails are available, there is no violation of FOIA.

    So if you want to assert that she should be prosecuted, I would be grateful for an analysis of the specific breach you say she committed. Quote the section of code and apply the facts to show her breach.

    It is not enough to say "she used a private server so should go to jail"! As I understand it, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice did the same thing.

    The career "reasonable prosecutor"s are Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who
    said she would abide by the FBI's findings which were that the career "reasonable
    prosecutor"s like Attorney General Loretta Lynch recommended that they not prosecute.

    Now, do you see what a circular cluster (*)(*)(*)(*) that reasoning is and why the meeting
    between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton only days before all this played out is so corrupt?

    I used to work for the CIA in a position so classified that no record of it even exists.

    My missions were so Top Secret that the government has sworn to disavow that the missions ever existed.

    I had the most Top Secret (SCI) security clearance ever devised, and I am willing to give Hillary a pass.

    Powell did the same thing, did they have email during your day, how about phones, did you record all your phones calls and turn them over for review? no? why?

    if you want to argue new laws are needed, I agree, but no laws were broken....

    I would like to see new laws require all gov employees use saved voip and saved email from gov systems only and all those avail to the public upon request unless declared Confidential at the time (within 30 days), no post declaring it years later

    also if this is a security issue as you say, WHY has congress done nothing to prevent it in future, they should of wrote a bill by now to monitor the gov email servers for ALL emails sent or received from a personal email address, this would be easy to do, is the Republicans controlled Congress so careless with security?

    1. Sorry, but where you have quoted the actual text of the offences, it seems to me that the facts just don't result in a conviction. There are elements of intent of certain things and requirements to prove gross negligence that just could not be met.

      I would like one - just one - reasoned analysis of an alleged offence, together with the facts that would prove that the offence had been committed. I have not seen that.

    The last line makes the first 3 statements completely unbelievable. Sorry, I keep
    in contact with a lot of my former airmen in my units and none would give her a
    pass based on the security violations alone. If you do, it goes to show that you
    have no respect or understanding of the necessity of national security or the
    measures needed to protect classified information. This makes your story about
    working for the CIA all the more fantastic and unlikely.

    I actually don't believe you. You also have said that you were a judge didn't you?

    So, lying about you experience is stupid, you just get called on it.

    But what every the truth about you personally, there are many people like you
    who would more than likely vote for Hillary Clinton if irrefutable proof came out
    that Hillary Clinton herself pulled the trigger and murdered Vince Foster.

    And yet your ilk cheered for the Bush adminstration, when the entire Bush White House staff was doing exactly the same thing.

    The same Adminstration deliberately leaked the identity of an undercover CIA agent for no other reason than a political smear.


    Nice double standard......but typical for right wingers.

    Because you don't understand the law, then Hillary must be innocent and it's
    alright for you and others to give her a pass and vote for her?

    Look, let me bring it down to reality. If I was ever caught with classified information
    outside a controlled area, intentionally or accidentally, through gross negligence or
    or carelessness, I would be prosecuted to the fullest. I would spend time in jail, be
    demoted to the lowest rank, be given a dishonorable discharge.

    That would be true if I had just one piece of paper outside of a controlled area.

    Hillary had thousands of emails, hundreds containing classified information flowing
    through unsecured internet routers and channels, through unsecured fiber optic
    networks that could virtually be hacked by anyone in the world. She kept it all on
    an unsecured server in her home, which is also subject to hacking. She didn't do
    it accidentally, she didn't do it through gross negligence. She did it intentionally.

    Why people keep trying to say that they cannot establish "intent" and use that as
    an excuse to forgive her transgressions of the laws is ridiculous. If anything, what
    she did was absolutely INTENTIONAL, it was done for the purpose of secrecy,
    hoping to keep her illegal activities from view via the FOIA.

    But even that standard need not be met. It matters not if you can establish "intent".
    This could otherwise be said that it was gross negligence, which Comey has alluded
    to. That is the standard, what she did was gross negligence, and should have been
    prosecuted for this no matter what.

    Very revealing and obvious! Listen to the video...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl2Ed50MNBM

    Hillary definitely gets favored!
    The people who control the media want Hillary to win the presidential race.
    It is such a farce, the whole voting process, but at least it is entertaining for the masses.
    I wonder, if there are any voters who feel insulted and turned off by this charade?

    That is a lie to say Powell did the same thing.

    Did he use personal emails, yes. Did he use it for classified information, no. Did he use it
    for government business, yes. But not for sharing classified or sensitive information.

    Why has congress done nothing to prevent it in the future? What she did was already against
    the law. Do we need to make laws that say if you break the laws you need to enforce the laws?

    What more can they do than to make it illegal? It is already illegal!!!

    Are you sure he hasn't registered? Evidently the recently deceased are re-registering.

    sounds like you do not know all the facts

    "Classified Data Found in Personal Email of Colin Powell and Aides to Condoleezza Rice"

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/u...kerry-condeleezza-rice-colin-powell.html?_r=0

    "WASHINGTON — The State Department has discovered a dozen emails containing classified information that were sent to the personal email accounts of Colin L. Powell and close aides of Condoleezza Rice during their tenures as secretaries of state for President George W. Bush."
