Chairwoman Mau-Mau
Now, watch her closely...
OMFG! THAT face!
Priceless.
OK, time to get serious. So, Her Imperial Royal Thighness, Hillary Rodham Clinton (HIRT-HRC, Democrat/'Progressive') said this:
'Well, nothing i sent or received was marked classified at the time. That is an absolute fact. It’s been verified over and over and over again. So i think that we’ll have a chance to explain what that means, if people don’t understand it.'
We know for a FACT that she sent and received ‘born classified’ information over her unauthorised and unsecured email server.
Just one example:
A former CIA official, illegally, disclosed the real identity of one of our main operatives in Libya to Sidney Blumenthal. Immediately, upon receipt, Blumenthal was REQUIRED by 18 U.S. Code § 793 to alert the Federal government that he had received highly classified information that had clearly been disclosed illegally. For the record, the actual names of our intelligence assets overseas are known to only a handful of high-ranking, select people in the government. Obama doesn’t even know these names unless he, specifically, asks for them. Everyone else that is cleared to view the information - an infinitesimally small number of individuals - who have the highest clearances, and are on a need-to-know list for that specific identity, can see it. BUT, even then, they must present the relevant credentials at a specified SCIF reading room and only after that will the information be delivered to the secure room and made available for that person’s eyes only. S/he cannot write anything down or reproduce anything in the room in any way - such is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 793.
This is not voluntary. It is required by the Federal Espionage Act of 1917.
But, Sid Vicious decided to break Federal law.
First, he illegally gathered illegally-obtained, compartmentalised classified information of the highest sort. Then, he continued to be in possession of said information. Finally, again illegally, he forwarded said information to Hillary Clinton. All in violation of the law.
At this point, Hillary Clinton was REQUIRED by 18 U.S. Code § 793 to immediately advise the CIA, other intelligence agencies, and the administration that one of our most important operatives had been compromised by an illegal disclosure either made by someone currently with the CIA or the former official. She chose to similarly break Federal law:
1) By not immediately informing the government that an asset had been compromised; and,
2) By not immediately informing the President or the intelligence agency that someone either currently in the government or who had previously worked for the government was disclosing classified material of the highest priority; and,
3) By deciding to possess highly classified materials that had been obtained illegally; and,
4) By forwarding the name of one of our chief intelligence assets in Libya to one of her underlings at State over an unsecured server.
All FOUR of the above violate 18 U.S. Code § 793.
Documents or other materials containing the name of an asset doesn’t have to be marked ‘Top Secret’.
IT IS BORN THAT WAY.
Hillary either knew this and chose to break the law or was so incompetent and negligent that she should never have been given such clearance. Neither portends well for this country under a Presidency of a Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 793, the illegal receipt of classified information is a violation of Federal law.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 793, the failure to notify one's immediate supervisor, President Obama, or the CIA of the illegal receipt of classified information is a violation of Federal law.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 793, the willful possession and/or retention of classified information is a violation of Federal law.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 793, the forwarding of classified information is a violation of Federal law.
'An FBI “A-team” is leading the “extremely serious” investigation into Hillary Clinton’s server and the focus includes a provision of the law pertaining to “gathering, transmitting or losing defense information.’
Lastly, some Federal statutes concerning this area do not require specific intent. Only a demonstration of gross negligence is needed to secure a conviction. Apparently, the FBI is looking at the gross negligence provisions of 18 U.S. Code § 793, which is a much easier case for the government. It doesn't have to prove intent to secure a felony conviction. (Check out the penalties prescribed under the Act. Whoa, baby!)
Three months after Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email address and server while secretary of state was referred to the FBI, an intelligence source familiar with the investigation tells Fox News that the team is now focused on whether there were violations of an Espionage Act subsection pertaining to "gross negligence" in the safekeeping of national defense information.
Under 18 USC 793 subsection F, the information does not have to be classified to count as a violation. The intelligence source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe, said the subsection requires the "lawful possession" of national defense information by a security clearance holder who "through gross negligence," such as the use of an unsecure computer network, permits the material to be removed or abstracted from its proper, secure location.
Do you know how she is always going on and on and on about how she ‘voluntarily’ turned over all of her ‘work-related’ emails? You know, those 55,000 pages of emails? And, do you remember how she claimed that those she deleted were personal and only concerned things like yoga, Chelsea’s wedding, her mum’s funeral and little notes to her husband, who has only sent one email in his life?
According to HIRT-HRC, she turned over EVERYTHING 'work-related' and EVERYTHING else was personal.
Au contraire!
How do we know that is a flat-out lie?
Simple. She did NOT turn over the Blumenthal emails.
The Blumenthal emails were obtained via the hacktivist, Guccifer.
Dunno ’bout you, but I would think that the true identity of one of our most important assets would fall in the ‘work-related’ category and not that concerning downward-facing dog.
Now, Clinton drones are trying to waive this all away and continue to claim that what she did was 1) much ado about nothing; 2) perfectly legal; 3) within the policies and guidelines of the Federal government, including those of her very own department and the same ones that she used to discipline her underlings; 4) just a little mistake; 5) nothing she did ever jeopardised our national security, the sources and methods of governmental agencies, and/or all of the former relative to one of our allies; 6) it's just another 'manufactured scandal' concocting by the vast right-wing conspiracy; and, 7) HIRT-HRC is being treated no differently than you or I would be.
Just stop.
PLEASE.
You guys are making fools of yourself.
Let's ask these guys what it is like not to be Her Imperial Royal Thighness...
On Thursday, a group of national security whistleblowers held a news conference in Washington at the National Press Club to highlight what they characterized as a double standard in these types of cases. NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake was indicted in 2010 under the Espionage Act for sharing unclassified material with a Baltimore Sun reporter.
Drake, who also went to Congress with his concerns about the NSA, said his goal was to expose government misconduct.
"This is the secretary of state, one of the most targeted individuals by other intelligence entities and agencies in the world using a private server to traffic highly sensitive information and no doubt including classified information and no doubt including info about sources and methods," Drake said at Thursday’s event.
He added the whistleblowers’ treatment shows there is a law for the average citizen, and apparently a different set of rules for the powerful.
"But hey, I'm secretary of state,” Drake said in a sarcastic tone. ”Even Obama gave her cover."
The charges against Drake were eventually dropped. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor, but in the process lost his ability to work in national security and depleted his life savings to mount a defense.
Former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling also went to Congress with his complaints, but was sentenced in May to three-and-a-half years in prison for violating the Espionage Act by giving classified information to a New York Times reporter.
Sterling, who is appealing the case, was also convicted on obstruction of justice charges because a single email was missing from his account, even though the government could not show he was responsible for that.
Clinton has acknowledged deleting some 30,000 emails she considered personal.
In 2015, former CIA Director General David Petraeus pled guilty to a misdemeanor admitting he mishandled classified materials by sharing notebooks with his former mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell. He also was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine.
Sterling’s supporters said he shared far less classified information with the New York Times.
'Powerful and politically connected individuals accused of the same and much worse conduct receive, at most, a slap on the wrist. Like General David Petraeus who gave away more secret information, classified at a much higher level, to his mistress and received a sweetheart plea deal for a minor misdemeanor,' Jesselyn Radack, a whistleblower and former ethics adviser to the Department of Justice, said Thursday.
'Or Hillary Clinton - she got a primetime TV apologist political spin interview from President Obama himself,' Radack added.
Exactly! We are supposed to be equal under the law with Lady Justice dispensing justice in a fair and legal manner. There shouldn't be two classes of the criminal justice system. One being members of the Ruling Party and the other being you and me.
Remember when the Left was OUTRAGED over the 'Affluenza case'?
Recall how they are always screaming about the way the system is rigged and the poor, the minority, and The Other go to prison and the evil rich go to St Bart's?
Ever notice how much they stomp their feetsies over Obama releasing felons, who are illegal immigrants, that go on to commit serious crimes like murder and rape while sending black men to prison?
Oh, wait. Forget that last one.
'She is the primary figure and prime suspect in it so why not go after her following her persistent lying about it.'

Her apologists are still under the delusion that she isn't being investigated...her SERVER is!
Right-O! 'Cuz, like...
The FBI only investigates the gun, not the individual suspected of using it to commit murder.
The FBI only investigates the drugs, not the individual or group trafficking them.
The FBI only investigates the USD, not the individuals exchanging it in a bribery case.
It's so easy to be a drone.
Look, Mum! No hands, no brains!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
UPDATE #1:
FBI: Investigation into Hillary’s email server focuses on Espionage Act and could get her 10 YEARS in jail…SHE COULD BE PROSECUTED JUST FOR FAILING TO TELL OBAMA.
Bingo!
18 U.S. Code § 793
UPDATE #2:
So, PROGS…
What do you think should happen?
In the Plame affair, Scooter Libby was sentenced to 30 months and served less than that because Bush granted him clemency. He was NOT pardoned. His conviction still stands. All of this even though 1) it was Colin Powell’s underling, Richard Armitage, who disclosed Plame’s name to Robert Novak; and, 2) FITZGERALD KNEW THIS BEFORE HE DECIDED TO BRING LIBBY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
We KNOW that Hillary received the true identity of one of our top assets in the Middle East and, while in possession of this illegally-dsclosed, compartmentlised, TOP SECRET, classified information:
1. A current or former CIA agent of high rank sent the name to former CIA agent, Tyler Drumheller…a FELONY and VIOLATION of the Espionage Act of 1917…FOR BOTH.
2. Drumheller disclosed the name to Sidney Blumenthal…a FELONY and VIOLATION of the Espionage Act of 1917…FOR BOTH.
3. On 18 March 2011, Sidney Blumenthal forwarded this information to Hillary via her unsecured, unauthorised server…a FELONY and VIOLATION of the Espionage Act of 1917…FOR BOTH.
[Instead of informing either Obama or the CIA immediately, Hillary chose to retain the information on her server (a felony and violation of the Espionage Act of 1917).]
4. Additionally, Hillary hit the ‘forward’ button and sent this highest of the high compartmentalised, Top Secret classified information to, at minimum, one of her underlings at State, who lacked the requisite clearance…a FELONY and VIOLATION of the Espionage Act of 1917…FOR BOTH.
This is just one email.
If, as it appears because the FBI wouldn’t have made such a stink, the FBI is leaning toward making a referral, shouldn’t the DOJ AT THE VERY, VERY, VERY MINIMUM present the case to a Grand Jury?
If not, why not?
You must realise that, should the FBI refer for prosecution the case to DOJ and Lynch refuses to proceed, THAT. FACT. WILL. BE. LEAKED. BY. THE. FBI. EVERYWHERE.
Not only will Hillary Clinton take a huge hit, but the Democratic Party and President Obama will be in a shitstorm the likes of which they have never seen.
You can’t talk about fairness and equality when you sentence young, black men to prison and give an extremely wealthy and powerful old, white woman a pass.
The Democratic Party's cred-card will be maxed out for a very long time.
