(36,418 posts)As for speculation and hearsay, we're all operating off of news articles and fragments of information. But, I hope you agree, there are strong indicators that those officials who are in a position to, have found that there is a large body of classified information on her server, and the server is uncertified, and that it should never have been on there.
Therefore, I think it is safe to conclude, according to the plain-language of the statute, 793(f), SOMEBODY has violated one or more provisions of the Espionage Act, either by intent or by gross negligence. I look at the circumstantial evidence that is available, and assuming it is factual, I conclude that Hillary has by failing to report classified information that came to her from Blumenthal and other unauthorized persons, indeed, has failed her affirmative duty to report others under 793(f)(2).
I am not yet convinced that she's legally culpable under this Act for the drone-related information that transited sent by others in the State Dept. I can see, nonetheless, how a "gross negligence" case can be made against her under 793(f)(1) because of her willful refusal to use authorized, secure systems.
