Why Hillary Clinton Could Face Indictments and How This Makes Bernie Sanders Nominee

It’s a crime under the Espionage Act to willingly, or inadvertently, transfer 22 Top Secret emails from secure State Department servers, to an unguarded private server. Clinton’s server was unencrypted for three months.

Under the Espionage Act, “gross negligence” is enough to prosecute, so intent isn’t needed when evaluating the harm done to national security from an unencrypted private server containing Top Secret emails. Simply claiming ignorance, or disinterest, or naiveté in using a private server isn’t enough to circumvent criminal indictments under the Espionage Act.

Therefore, the basis for imminent indictments rests upon the fact that neither the State Department, nor the president gave Clinton the authority to use a private server.

1. Nope. nt

[MohRokTah]

2. BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

H. "Fucking" A. Goodman is always good for a belly laugh!!!!!!!

[pantsonfire]

4. Yeah you have to take him with a grain of salt...

But, it doesn't make what he says about her actions untrue, the title is HA GOODMAN all the way.

[MohRokTah]

8. H.A. Goodman has never written a word of truth in the entire primaries.

Why should I believe the liar now?

[pantsonfire]

12. You shouldn't if you think he's a liar, I'd say he's overzealous 99-1 a liar.

[MohRokTah]

14. Nope, it's 100%. Never told the truth once during the entire primary season. eom

[pantsonfire]

26. Just brushing it off your shoulder, nice.

[CorporatistNation]

44. Ain't This Lyin?

Just Don't Ask Her No Questions... And She Won't Tell Us No Lies!

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[pantsonfire]

51. Finally a voice of reason.

[NurseJackie]

6. He's like a digital baby's pacifier, isn't he?

[Gomez163]

3. My God. This was debunked months ago.

[pantsonfire]

5. What was? n/t

[Gomez163]

9. This espionage act theory. Its garbage.

[WhiteTara]

10. yep

[pantsonfire]

15. Explain this to me, The State Department Report kind of says she did.

There's a link to the espionage act there, if you want to read it.

[WhiteTara]

21. would you believe a word I type?

I don't think so. I think your mind is made up and you are just waiting for Ftizmas.

[pantsonfire]

29. Yeap I'm a conservative assassin, I've replaced David Brooks position.

[WhiteTara]

31. what does that even mean?

[democrattotheend]

7. Actually, there is no set procedure for how a replacement is picked after the convention

It is up to the parties, and as far as I can tell the DNC doesn't really have a procedure laid out for replacing a nominee after he/she has been formally nominated. This wasn't an issue in 1968 because RFK was shot after locking up the nomination (there were no supers back then) but before actually being nominated.

[Ash_F]

19. Is it even possible to change the name on the ballot in many states just before the election?

I don't think so.

[democrattotheend]

27. Different states have different laws on this

In some states if a candidate dies their name stays on the ballot and then if they win a special election is held or an appointment is made. In some states a replacement can be picked quickly. In Minnesota in 2002 leaving Wellstone's name on the ballot was not an option, which sucked because he probably would have won posthumously. What was really unfair was that they counted the absentee ballots that went for Coleman, despite having a different opponent, but the absentee ballots that were cast for Wellstone did not count for Mondale.

[Ash_F]

55. OK but that is if the candidate dies. This would be different.

[Matt_R]

75. She will govern from the comfort of a Federal Penitentiary...

dear jury I'm just kidding, there is nothing comfortable about them at all.

[pantsonfire]

32. And let's not forget when Hillary Clinton mention RFK's assassination in 08 during the primaries...

[Bleacher Creature]

11. Knew this was Goodman before I even opened it.

That guy has lost his Rand Paul loving mind.

[KingFlorez]

13. It still wouldn't erase the fact that Sanders LOST

An indictment make Sanders a winner. Period.

[pantsonfire]

23. I heard that from the AP even before we voted today. So Sad.

[SFnomad]

16. Is this what BS cheerleaders have been reduced to? Regurgitating debunked talking points? n/t

[pantsonfire]

34. Not debunked, you just like to think so.

[pantsonfire]

17. And yet Hillary Clinton hasn't held a press conference in 6 months....hmmm

[MisterP]

18. but this clock says 123 days!

http://hillarytranscriptclock.com/

[Lord Magus]

25. What does that have to do with anything? -nt-

[pantsonfire]

37. Have you been following this primary?

[Lord Magus]

50. Yes, what relevance is there to when Hillary's called a press conference? -nt-

[pantsonfire]

20. The saddest thing is that most people don't seem to care that Hillary Clinton may have broke the law

It always goes back to Bernie and his desperation. Considering her documented behavior by her own State Department, you have to ask yourself, are you thinking critically about this?

[Maedhros]

41. Lawbreaking is only worthy of concern when Republicans do it.[n/t]

[Lizzie Poppet]

43. Cult thinking.

Simple as that, really: the cult figure can do no wrong.

[pantsonfire]

46. Yes, he can.....what about Hillary Clinton, can she do no wrong?

[Lizzie Poppet]

54. ???

Um...huh?

[Dem2]

63. Even hardcore Bernie supporters realize his followers are like a cult

You made an accidental funny as you missed the irony in your post.

[Dem2]

61. Bernie can do no wrong?

I think he's human like the rest of us.

[apcalc]

73. She has broken no law.

[Voice for Peace]

78. she did. gross negligence at very least.

still a crime

[TwilightZone]

22. Goodman is a Rand Paul supporter. He's also completely wrong about the nomination process.

But then, he's wrong about pretty much everything.

[pantsonfire]

38. Snazzle

[Lord Magus]

24. HAHA Goodman's meltdown continues.

Would be nice if Huff Post stopped giving him a forum for his trash though.

[TwilightZone]

35. And Salon

[pantsonfire]

40. Let's trash the few independent media outlets out there...

Not the 6 companies that own 90% of all media and make us stupider.

[TwilightZone]

45. If they post stuff from HA Goodman, they deserve the label.

His stuff is most definitely trash. Ditto Ben Norton and Patrick Smith, two more Salon and DU favorites.

Salon went to hell because they decided that sensationalism was king. Has nothing to do with the rest of the media world.

[Lord Magus]

49. Independent is not synonymous with quality.

If an outlet publishes garbage they should be called out on it no matter who the owner is.

[pantsonfire]

59. Salon is great, Huff is ok, you are generalizing thousands of stories published by them.

They do better reporting then many major news companies. Take this for example, CNN didn't report on the occupyCNN protest that was happening outside their building, RT did (Yes, that's Russian Television), but from what I've seen they have a lot of integrity. Maybe there's a reason Larry King left CNN to work there?

[Lord Magus]

64. Nobody said the entire site is bad.

Just that they sully themselves by publishing HAHA Goodman's garbage.

Also are you seriously saying Russia Today has integrity? For that matter are you saying Larry King has integrity?

[TwilightZone]

67. Russia Today?

lol, no

[pantsonfire]

68. It seems like you are blindly judging them without ever watching a single RT program...

[TwilightZone]

71. So, you have no idea who Russia Today is.

Gotcha.

[pantsonfire]

74. My roommate works for them, so I know a little bit.

[brettdale]

28. Straws

[LenaBaby61]

30. June 14th ....

Hurry up

[workinclasszero]

33. Thank God the Bernie homer internet lawyers are on the case at huffpost!

HA HA Goodman!!!

[floppyboo]

39. won't updates on the FBI criminal investigation be allowed in GD?

[pantsonfire]

47. There are rare updates, I'm not sure why not, unless we want journalism to really die.

[tritsofme]

42. I oughtn't entertain your silly hypothetical, but in such a situation, we would parachute in Biden

Sanders isn't getting anywhere near the nomination or the White House, especially not after the way he has been acting lately.

[pantsonfire]

48. How's he been acting?

[Lizzie Poppet]

57. Probably not...but that's nothing to do with "the way he has been acting."

It's about not allowing an actual agent of meaningful change anywhere near the Oval Office.

[Lil Missy]

52. pantsonfire is a good screen name for you. n/t

[NNadir]

53. Thanks for sharing Mr. Trump.

[MFM008]

56. 9 days

They are going quickly.

[Dem2]

58. Pants on fire

Great timing, making a lot of friends tonight.

[pantsonfire]

62. The truth is a good friend already, but I'll make a few more friends if they care to care.

[Dem2]

66. Ahh, so you are the Lord who knoweth the truth

I bow to thee

[pantsonfire]

70. Get up, my floor is dirty and you're wearing white pants, idiot!

[Tarc]

60. We're miles under "gross negligence" here, I'm afraid

By all means get this out of your system though, you still have some time left.

[Bill USA]

65. "documents, totaling 37 pages, were not marked classified at the time they were sent"..ooops

[div style="float:right;" class="excerpt"]State Department spokesman John Kirby said the documents, totaling 37 pages, were not marked classified at the time they were sent, but are being upgraded at the request of the Intelligence Community because they contain sensitive information.

[apcalc]

69. There will be no indictments.

[pantsonfire]

72. God?

[BreakfastClub]

76. Of course not. This is foolishness. nt

[merrily]

77. Many miles between "could" and "shall."
