In case missed it, Comey admits that Huma broke the law, but couldn't prove intent...

No one cares, because laws don't apply to these people, and no matter what comes out it never will.

Had trump had any interest in this he would have kept his promise and appointed a prosecutor. There is something in D.C. that everyone but the common folk are in on.

If you can't prove all the elements of the crime then it's not a criminal offense.

Intent didn't seem to matter for the guy who took a picture of the submarine. Comey won't address that, though.

quote:

Abedin appeared to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to Weiner for him "to print out for her so she could then deliver them to the secretary of state."


quote:

Abedin's lawyers have previously said she did not know the emails were on Weiner's laptop and did not know how they got there.


I am no lawyer but something doesn't add up with those statements.

Funny...because there's not an intent requirement for the statute at issue.

And, Comey's bullshite explanation that there has to at least be an appreciation they shouldn't be doing this fails BECAUSE HUMA AND HILLARY HAD TO SIGN FORMS ACKNOWLEDGING PROPER AND IMPROPER PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

Intent is not an element in these crimes. That was well established when they let Hill walk by many legal experts.

Like Trump University or more than the 3 thousand lawsuits filed against Trump?

Intent is important even if it is not classified. (Unless you can pay them off)

It's not like getting a speeding ticket or any other minor violation.

I wonder if I could use that argument if I ever got in legal trouble? Yes this is proof that I committed a crime ,but that was not my intention.

"Intent" is a figment entirely created inside his mind

Watch what happens if a Republican ever does one tenth of what these assholes did

So let me get this straight. I can go ahead and break any law I want to, long as I didn't intend to get caught... err, I mean, as long as I say I meant no harm?

What happened to "ignorance is no excuse of the law"?

I guess that only applies to the plebians

The world is filled with examples where the privileged, wealthy, women, etc. are either given lesser sentences or totally excused from the penalty for breaking the law.
