Mix in a little politics and you get a very lax view of the law by director Comey.
I guarantee you the marines who are under orders to fight to the death to protect that very same information at embassies feel a little differently on the issue. They know what would happen to them if they got caught with information like that on their home computer - unknowingly, inadvertent or otherwise. It wouldn't be a free pass like Hillary is getting because it is against the law.
State trooper pulls a car over for speeding. Although the offender doesn't have much of an excuse, for whatever reason, the trooper settles for giving them a warning. No ticket. No court date. But the person speeding broke the law. That's how I see what happened here.
Hillary had intent. Her intent was to protect her private emails. She placed the security of her private emails ahead of the security of the United States.
It has nothing to do with hatred. Whether one likes a person or not doesn't change those facts.
Many media organizations have cited Hillary for lying on this. Associated Press. NY Times. WaPo gave her three Pinocchios. You can't blame FOX News for Hillary's lying. You can try to shoot whatever messenger you want. Again, it won't change the facts or the real story. Hillary lied about her emails which leaves the door ajar for the GOP to go after her for perjury. That's not my fault. Doesn't mean I like it. It's what is happening. If Hillary has told the truth, she has nothing to worry about but a lot in the media say she didn't tell the truth.
