2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: National security law expert on Clinton email issue: "not uncommon" and legal charges very unlikely. [View all]SickOfTheOnePct
(7,290 posts)60. I don't think she'll be charged
but I'm betting that whomever was sending the classified email will be charged.
Her out is that it wasn't marked "classified", so she can credibly say that she didn't realize she had classified info on an unclassified system.
But the person/people sending it? They knew it was classified and sent it anyway.

That was Obama's call. Any Sec. of State would have been sent to do that.

It will come out right before the election. Yes he will be proved wrong, but not in time

You've just highlighted that it was "mishandled." Speaks to judgment and decision making.

I think the situation she was in made it difficult to follow the strict guidelines perfectly.

What "situation she was in"? Sec. Clinton chose to use her personal email for work.

Yes, in hindsight it would have been better to have not done the private email server thing.

That's what the banksters said about sub-prime loans. "not uncommon" and legal charges unlikely".
