In reply to the discussion: Emails in Clinton Probe Dealt With Planned Drone Strikes [View all]jzodda
(2,124 posts)So they communicate on any issue, for example, drone strikes and a NY times article about the program. They don't think it's classified and later another agency makes them classified..State disagrees on that classification..
So we are going to indict somebody when they did not agree on the classification which was done after the fact? If another agency classifies something retro actively then how can there be any criminal intent? That's nuts!
Also there is something even more important and that's intent. If you didn't intend to improperly disseminate classified material and don't even Agee with the classification?
Intent is huge in these types of cases. It's what got Petraeus in trouble. He was in far more trouble for his intent!
There will be no indictment here when we at its base have a disagreement over classifaction between agencies.
