SoS rules

Some of you fanatics need to think about this, very carefully.

FOIA laws compared to Assault and Battery laws

which I take to mean violence, because Hillary was not in complete compliance with rules that were not even fully enacted. This is hardly an accurate analogy. THAT is what I'm talking about.

but did she also break FOIA laws?

Does breaking rules not always result in breaking laws, is that Hills argument here?

I haven't heard anyone imply that she broke a law.

7. It's called a prima facie case: clear on the basis of known facts.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has committed a felony. That is apparent from the facts and in the plain-language of the federal statute that prohibits "Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information", 18 U.S. Code § 793(e) and (f). This offense carries a potential penalty of ten years imprisonment.

It's up to prosecutorial discretion by the US Attorney as to what charges may be filed and when. Nonetheless, Mrs. Clinton is clearly chargeable for violation of federal law. As of right now, the matter is under FBI investigation. This isn't just about violation of Departmental policy.

Secretary Clinton was trained in handling of classified materials, and acknowledges that she understood them. By transmitting and receiving email correspondence that contained information gleaned from foreign government sources on an unauthorized, insecure system, she violated the law. This was not something she did unwittingly, and that the foreign government sourced material was not stamped classified is irrelevant.

done anything violent -- unless you consider it violent verbal abuse to criticize HRC.

I take issue with "some of YOU fanatics".

I expect Bernie to be completely honorable at the Democratic convention.

Not to mention, The VT convention was as polite and well behaved as anyone could ask for. Of course, the seats at the Barre Opera House were not movable - but no one even thew paper!

or do we have to define the decibel.
