Why has the FBI's investigation into Hillary's home server taking so long [View all] awake Apr 2016 OP

She's been indicted, convicted, and served her time. Did you miss that? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #1

Wow that was fast awake Apr 2016 #2

Yeah, it was reported in the Friday evening news dump the week of the Brussels bombing WhaTHellsgoingonhere Apr 2016 #39

oh that explains it awake Apr 2016 #42

It's almost like they found something and are building a strong case. Joob Apr 2016 #3

It's almost like all of this is much ado about not much but making as much political hay as possible Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #5

I disagree that it's much ado about nothing griffi94 Apr 2016 #10

Hm. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #15

Talk about mixing genres! moriah Apr 2016 #26

I was hoping you'd come back with it transformed to a limerick. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #48

Christie is first in line take a number. N/T gordianot Apr 2016 #4

I'm not buying into another Fitzmas style scenario. Clinton should lose because she is a crappy leeroysphitz Apr 2016 #6

The FBI doesn't do thorough investigations based on a conspiracy theory. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #29

That's why we have a nomination process. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #49

The wheels of justice turn slowly. Your (general meaning) emergency is not theirs. grossproffit Apr 2016 #7

Comey says the FBI will always do investigations well, and do them promptly. jmg257 Apr 2016 #8

THIS! They have no responsibility to the Democratic Party Bob41213 Apr 2016 #60

Maybe the accounts that they discovered stuff in the process and have Skwmom Apr 2016 #9

Here is an informative thread on the emails. PufPuf23 Apr 2016 #11

Tick Tock trumad Apr 2016 #12

Do tell why should we all not want this issue cleared up by the FBI awake Apr 2016 #13

Because its trolling 101. trumad Apr 2016 #21

Wow the FBI is now trolling awake Apr 2016 #25

Sure Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #66

Bernie did not use it against her Trump will awake Apr 2016 #74

That will make an excellent defense in a court of law. frylock Apr 2016 #97

Really. Then why the need for all of the voting crap state after state? n/t Skwmom Apr 2016 #99

You have to provide some facts to back up assertions, otherwise it's just your beliefs. leveymg Apr 2016 #63

I love that quote someone put up earlier -- it is PERFECT pdsimdars Apr 2016 #83

LOL! Go Hillary! jmg257 Apr 2016 #14

The audacity of her lies is astounding. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #36

SHe has been obstructing justice since at least the 90's, probably earlier. FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #47

Probably why FBI is dotting i's and crossing t's. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #55

There is no prosecution Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #65

Wishfull thinking is not fact. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #78

Do you read? Did you not read what these people just stated about the things she did? pdsimdars Apr 2016 #86

See this is why I think Bernie needs to get out Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #64

Obama's DOJ should get out too, amirite? frylock Apr 2016 #98

And that judge appointed by Clinton. It's all a right-wing conspiracy! jfern Apr 2016 #116

Hillary needs to get out. Milestone Apr 2016 #130

This is the one I liked pdsimdars Apr 2016 #84

LOL! Seems about right. jmg257 Apr 2016 #85

Brilliant. Absolutely spot on. nt snagglepuss Apr 2016 #151

This is a super high profile, super controversial case. DCBob Apr 2016 #16

If this is still "hanging around" in Novermber and Hillary is our Nominee awake Apr 2016 #17

I think it will be released sometime this summer after all the primaries are completed. DCBob Apr 2016 #19

Oh the concern is dripping... trumad Apr 2016 #22

BFD So what griffi94 Apr 2016 #28

I would rather it be made up shit than an FBI investigation awake Apr 2016 #35

Be calm. Carry on griffi94 Apr 2016 #38

Yeah well Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #70

This puzzles me. So anytime someone doesn't follow security protocol, whether or not they are held Skwmom Apr 2016 #20

I dont think the issue of being hacked or not has anything to do with Hillary being indicted or not. DCBob Apr 2016 #24

I am convinced you are wrong. She did KNOWINGLY mishandle classified information. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #32

haha ah.... Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #67

Most of it was retroactively classified by the US State Department--under Obama and Kerry. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #72

Hard to classify an email that Hillary requested have... tex-wyo-dem Apr 2016 #131

There has been countless posts on DU explaining that emails are "born" classified. nt snagglepuss Apr 2016 #152

There would need to be proof she clearly knew something she sent was classified.. DCBob Apr 2016 #77

So Bob, why would having your own private server for four years not be gross negligence? In four Skwmom Apr 2016 #43

"Gross negligence" is a legal term that has a specific meaning. DCBob Apr 2016 #50

That sounds pretty close. jmg257 Apr 2016 #56

Who exactly are you calling a "dumb ass"? DCBob Apr 2016 #58

Sorry - not you! nt jmg257 Apr 2016 #59

Doesn't make it gross negligence, though. nt COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #141

Sounds like it to me. But I think the deciding thoughts will be "intent" and "harm". jmg257 Apr 2016 #144

Proving intent, especially trying to establish a 'depraved COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #145

If keeping Top Secret materials on an easily hackable server against NRA and State Department rules Kentonio Apr 2016 #90

Who said it was easily hackable?? DCBob Apr 2016 #92

No encryption for the first 3 months she was in office. Kentonio Apr 2016 #93

Encryption has nothing to do being "easily hackable". DCBob Apr 2016 #95

The server was apparently extremely light protected Kentonio Apr 2016 #96

How do you know it was "extremely light protected"? DCBob Apr 2016 #100

Because security professions have described it as such. Kentonio Apr 2016 #115

They don't know either. DCBob Apr 2016 #119

Yes, they do. Server security isn't some huge mystery. Kentonio Apr 2016 #121

They dont know specifics without seeing the configurations. DCBob Apr 2016 #122

I don't know what will happen, and I'd much rather she was cleared personally. Kentonio Apr 2016 #123

It does appear on the surface to be a serious issue but its not. DCBob Apr 2016 #124

How can you say with such conviction that... tex-wyo-dem Apr 2016 #132

I have read all about this and can read between lines... DCBob Apr 2016 #135

You're right. Gross negligence is a term of art and COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #140

And she received top secret classified information from Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account jfern Apr 2016 #117

And that was her fault? DCBob Apr 2016 #120

Corresponding with Blumenthal (who did not have the proper clearances)... tex-wyo-dem Apr 2016 #133

Sid was sending her stuff, I dont think she ever sent him any classified info. DCBob Apr 2016 #137

She told him to "keep it coming!" tex-wyo-dem Apr 2016 #150

Only if the material was marked as classified. DCBob Apr 2016 #154

Actually it was Bob41213 Apr 2016 #134

Was it marked as classified when she received it? DCBob Apr 2016 #136

Is she unable to identify classified material? Bob41213 Apr 2016 #139

There are all sorts of classifications of "classified" material. DCBob Apr 2016 #143

Even being in the WH doesn't absolve her misdeeds All in it together Apr 2016 #82

They're being thorough. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #18

I think you answered your own question with the first answer. leveymg Apr 2016 #23

Will she be the first POTUS not cleared to handle classified information? HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #41

That's not a likely outcome. The classification rules are set by Executive Order. leveymg Apr 2016 #61

hahah Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #69

Maybe Bill could handle that aspect of the job? nt 2cannan Apr 2016 #108

Something pointed out that it is almost impossible for Hillary to lock up the PLEDGED delegates pdsimdars Apr 2016 #87

The DNC types who run the party apparatus and the Convention Rules Committee have the final say leveymg Apr 2016 #94

I fully expect them to try to parachute in Biden or some other candidate winter is coming Apr 2016 #107

More likely Warren. Joe has health issues. nt leveymg Apr 2016 #109

I think Warren's opinions in re Wall Street would be a deal-breaker. n/t winter is coming Apr 2016 #110

I don't think Warren's Wall St views are much different from Barney Frank's leveymg Apr 2016 #111

And yet, she's held back from endorsing Hillary. winter is coming Apr 2016 #112

I don't think Warren supports Hillary which is why she hasn't endorsed her leveymg Apr 2016 #113

I've seen no indication that Warren wants to be President, though. winter is coming Apr 2016 #114

That is true. That is part of why she would be broadly accepted across the Party. leveymg Apr 2016 #129

If there's any there there JackInGreen Apr 2016 #27

I hope you are wrong but I am afraid you my be right although they might just drop the bomb awake Apr 2016 #31

I don't think the FBI would be a party to that. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #34

Well I hope they "reached the proper legal result" soon awake Apr 2016 #40

I heard they think they'll get it finished by May. pdsimdars Apr 2016 #88

Not gonna happen apcalc Apr 2016 #30

What is not going to happen? awake Apr 2016 #33

Becuase the legal system does not work on your schedule nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #37

timing is everything Bucky Apr 2016 #44

My guess is the FBI won't take action during the primary. nt NorthCarolina Apr 2016 #45

What do think before or after the convention? awake Apr 2016 #46

I don't really know if they ever truly will, NorthCarolina Apr 2016 #51

Just pulling that out of your . . .. uh . . .. ether? pdsimdars Apr 2016 #89

I've seen similar investigations -- although not at Clinton's level -- that take years. Sometimes, Hoyt Apr 2016 #52

Because they want it to. Jester Messiah Apr 2016 #53

works for me Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #73

Oh Rice and Powell had private servers installed in their homes awake Apr 2016 #75

No, Rice and Powell did NOT have private servers. frylock Apr 2016 #105

Here's my prediction... Mike Nelson Apr 2016 #54

my hope and dream! Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #68

Evidently there are a lot of vicioius Republicans posting on this OP CajunBlazer Apr 2016 #103

They can't find anything incriminating? Rex Apr 2016 #57

The perception of wrongdoing is often as damaging is the reality of wrongdoing. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2016 #62

Apparently not Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #71

Apparently not for some Democrats. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2016 #76

And Bernie usually gets 70% of Independents. pdsimdars Apr 2016 #80

You have just stated the whole reason for being for COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #142

Exactly. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2016 #146

Most people couldn't care less. That will be proven in November. COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #147

Uh-huh. Right after Hillary puts "I'm not a crook" on bumper stickers. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2016 #148

I heard it should be winding down next month. We'll have to see. pdsimdars Apr 2016 #79

Good so by June we will know one way or the other awake Apr 2016 #81

Bizarre pdsimdars Apr 2016 #91

Obama should order this moved up. Her betrayal with Sid merrits it. ViseGrip Apr 2016 #101

Because the status quo is safe with HRC in the WH - Trump might mess things up. polichick Apr 2016 #102

Why has the House's investigation into Benghazi taking so long brooklynite Apr 2016 #104

That is because the"House's investigation" is a GOP smear campaign awake Apr 2016 #106

Because those investigations were shams from the start and when the FBI Thinkingabout Apr 2016 #127

The head of the FBI said there's no need to finish the investigation before the DNC jfern Apr 2016 #118

Now that Trump is the other choice, they'll probably let her slide. polichick Apr 2016 #126

It's called due diligence Dem2 Apr 2016 #125

Because it is political FreakinDJ Apr 2016 #128

Because the server also was used for the Clinton Foundation B2G Apr 2016 #138

Good point... tex-wyo-dem Apr 2016 #149
