Breaking: AP on Clinton emails

[IceSpear]

Really wish Biden had run.

So Sanders could thump him?

And again, YAWN. Call me when there's an indictment.

A potential case of Gross Negligence under the Espionage Act of 1917 is a rather big deal indeed...carries up to 10 years imprisonment.

What provision allows such a prosecution? Because casually going over that act shows provisions regarding willfully attempting to harm the country. Hillary was not trying to harm the US and she was authorized to have the materials in question.

It just seems that because Hillary is both running for president and is such a polarizing figure, people are trying to blow this issue up into something more than it is. She should get a slap on the wrist and be obliged to never use a private email for government business again.

Tons of people from both parties along with the media knew about Hillary's private email during her 4 years of SoS, and nobody gave a sh**t. It was only once she ran for president and they needed a faux scandal to drive their beloved horse race that the NYT drummed this up, with the rest of the media and the GOP opportunists jumping on the bandwagon.

Not exactly true. According to many reliable sources, lots of people within the State Department urged Mrs. Clinton to use government sanctioned communication devices. But Mrs. Clinton is above such petty concerns, so she was able to brush these crazy recommendations aside and go about doing this the proper, Clinton way.

That doesn't contradict what I said at all. People may have originally urged her to do so, but she chose not to, and literally nobody cared after the decision was made. Until she ran for president.

Ah, so you're saying that we hold people running for the highest office in the land to a higher standard than somebody who's not? And that it's perfectly understandable that questions like these are asked of a person seeking the presidency? Well, I completely agree with you; thank you for clarifying your point.

>Implying Secretary of State of the United States of America is some unimportant job with low standards

There's no reason why a SoS shouldn't be held to the same standard as a president. This is all faux outrage. If anyone really cared and was DEEPLY, DEEPLY concerned we'd have heard about in 2009. Yet nary a peep. But SoS isn't an elected position. The media and the GOP had no incentive to drive down her poll numbers. Until she ran for president.
