(36,418 posts)1) Government agencies get together after-the-fact to determine if anything should be retroactivity classified. Hillary committed no felony due to retroactive classification. Look up CIA Director John Deutch. Tell us how his mishandling of classified materials was different.
Where's the indictment? LOL As in Deutch's case, the decision whether to convene a GJ is made by the AG. As in that case, the decision may be to not decide until the term is over, and to leave it to the President to pardon, as Bill did Deutch.
2) Do you have 100% confirmation Hillary's private server was hacked? The irony is that the government serves were hacked without-a-doubt. Doesn't matter - we know that Blumenthal's email was hacked and that Hillary's server wasn't authorized. It's a prima facie violation under the section of the statute I cited above.
3) The law regarding e-mail laws changed after she became Secretary of State. Look it up. Seriously. Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about. The Department regulation changed after she left state. The Executive Order that made foreign government information presumed classified was issued in 2009. The statute is the Espionage Act of 1917, which certainly predates Hillary's activities. She continued to use her unauthorized system from 2009 until 2013.
4) Hillary viewed all marked classified material on secured systems separate from her e-mail system. Irrelevant. She sent and hosted numerous presumed classified materials on her unauthorized private email server. She broke the law, and would have been indicted by now if she, like CIA Director Deutch, wasn't too big to indict.
