this thread is such a precis of st politics. -- nm - b. Jan 29, 12:23
Things are going to get interesting if she winds up indicted. -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 12:06 5
- I have confidence that Comey will do the right thing, whatever that ends up being. - ML Jan 29, 12:15 3
  - Yeah, things also get interesting if Justice is seen as impeding things. -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 12:17 2
    - For a few reasons, I don't expect that would occur - ML Jan 29, 12:23
    - All of the applicable criminal statues are intent-based. At worst, she was merely negligent in handling the server and emails -- (edited) - mr. plow Jan 29, 12:22
- she won't -- nm - mr. plow Jan 29, 12:07
Trying to put partisanship aside (impossible, I know, but...), I really do not understand the free pass many are extending her on this issue. - Name Withheld by Request Jan 29, 12:02 15
- I also add the 'boy who cried wolf' theory on top of the rest. The GOP has thrown so much shit at Clinton over the years - ty97 Jan 29, 12:24
- It's not really a free pass, it's "I don't like this, but check out how bad the other options are." -- nm - Roger More Jan 29, 12:15 2
  - Pretty much. "Put the stuff on a server where I control the security" versus "put the stuff on servers that suck and have iffy security." -- nm - TWuG Jan 29, 12:25 1
    - I meant "check out how bad her competition is in the Democratic primary, and then how bad her likely Republican opponent is going to be" - Roger More Jan 29, 12:41
- "Spokesman John Kirby tells the AP that no judgment on past classification was made. But the department is looking into that, too." -- nm -- Spawn -- nm - Spawn Jan 29, 12:11
- On the one hand, it's an egregious violation of OpSec. On the other hand ... - Beryllium Jan 29, 12:07
- what free pass? it is undisputed (to this point, and the investigation is still ongoing so things could always change) that none of the emails were - mr. plow Jan 29, 12:07
- But you do realize that every Secretary of State prior to John Kerry used private email instead of the government servers. I don't see anyone combing - pmb Jan 29, 12:07 7
  - Though it would be a bigger thing if Rice had presidential ambitions. -- nm - Roger More Jan 29, 12:16 3
    - It would be the same political witch hunt. -- nm - pmb Jan 29, 12:24 2
      - agreed. too big not to make something of this. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 29, 12:28 1
        
        Actually I was making the point that it is just a political witch hunt. And if Condoleeza Rice were running for president, going after this stuff - pmb Jan 29, 12:34
  - The Cheney administration pioneered the policy. They just didn't get hacked, that we know. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 12:10 2
    - Because the Repubs are looking for anything they can. - nic to be determined Jan 29, 12:17
    - Because the GOP must produce some smoke. -- nm - Spawn Jan 29, 12:17
All those follow-up tweets are from the first tweet of this thread. -- nm - Spawn Jan 29, 11:57
AP has learned that 7 Clinton email chains are being withheld for containing 'top secret' material -- (link) - budice Jan 29, 11:54 1
- (And these are just the ones she didn't unilaterally delete...) -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 12:18
Sent from her or to her? -- nm - Max Jan 29, 11:53 5
- might be easiest to inquire here -- (link) - ML Jan 29, 11:55 4
  - Just passing my mouse pointer over that link has put me on a watch list. -- nm - Mop Jan 29, 12:07
  - pff, Russia. Russian hackers probably go to seminars in China to learn how to hack. -- nm - Max Jan 29, 12:01 2
    - Russia has an immense work force relating to Programming. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 12:02 1
      - I think a third of Russia's economy is based on hacking. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jan 29, 12:30
Obama administration confirms for 1st time Clinton's unsecured home server contains some closely guarded secrets -- (link) - budice Jan 29, 11:51 2
- Aliens. -- nm - Mop Jan 29, 11:58
