In reply to the discussion: US Official: FBI Has Hillary Clinton Emails From Home Server [View all]InAbLuEsTaTe
(25,518 posts)53. I agree, but I was assuming Hillary's indicted and, therefore, she's forced to drop out of the race. Biden is surely a bigger threat to Bernie...
than Hillary, as Biden is more attuned to the problems of the middle class and is far more affiable. I still say Bernie takes it in a close race, but his best bet is if Hillary does NOT get charged for maintaining top secret documents on an unsecured homebrew server and, though seriously wounded (self-inflicted), she stays in the race, which presumably keeps Biden out.
Of course, if Biden enters the race anyway, you're absolutely right, he splits the Hillary vote, and Bernie wins it goin away. That would be the best-case scenario; I just don't think that's likely going to happen.
But, I spose anything is possible, and either way, as long as we end up with President Sanders, I'm a happy camper.
Let's Bern this shit down!!

I was the subject of a (very brief and informal) investigation once regarding TS material.

Yes it is a big deal. Here's a brief explanation of TS/SCI, aka "Above Top Secret"

Been saying this is a big deal for awhile now and took a lot of crap for saying so. Hillary is now lawyering up in recognition that she is in deep trouble.

No way she will be indicted, unless we get a rethuglican in the White House to manufacture "evidence

Clinton was the target of a right-wing conspiracy to try to remove him from office.

I'd rather they admit this is a pretense to keep a woman out of the White House.

Obama is too smart to inject himself in the middle of this self-inflicted Hillary meltdown.

Good. I'm glad that Hillary gave up the server so this story can end once and for all

You do understand that storing TS/SCI info on an unsecured server in the clear is against the law?

You do not understand. It is not for American people to forgive, it is a serious legal problem.

I think Biden most likely. The powers that be will feel safe then. I prefer Bernie, he works for us

My thoughts exactly. In the end, I think Bernie can beat out Joe, but it's gonna be a lot harder than besting Hillary.

I believe improperly storing TS information that becomes disseminated is punishable as a felony.

True, but even if Hillary is prosecuted, no doubt Obama would pardon her, which maybe she deserves for all her years of govt service.

No. Govt Service includes respecting classified info, TS/SCI is serious stuff.

I agree it's serious - indeed, a potential felony - but I do think Hillary would deserve at least consideration for a pardon.

In that case, if we are pardoning people who expose classified info for their 'public service'

Even if she isn't prosecuted - the republicans will make it 24/7 Fox News, and the rest of the MSM
