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.

Wasn't this failure to prove intent thing already covered with Hillary?

ETA: As in, it's a load of bullshite.

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

This would be true if the crime they're accused of had an intent element. Hint: it doesn't. They bring people behind the woodshed for even accidental exposures.

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

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 of a crime. It is a considered after conviction during the penalty phase (presented as matters of extenuation and/or mitigation).

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.

This isn't a tort case, but a criminal matter. The crime they're accused of lacks an intent requirement. Just doing it, even accidentally is a felony. Intent can result in a more severe sentence, but it does not impact the prosecution.

If this was not intentional then she is extremely incompetent

And in this context, that's still a crime punishable by years of federal prison time
