The investigation into Clinton's email server is very real. [View all]

Denying it doesn't make it go away. Pretending the FBI is some partisan pack of petulant plebes tells those of us who have worked in cyber security and understand the rules that you truly don't understand the issue.

I realize her supporters here have their heads in the sand about this, but for those of you who want to clear and factual look at the timeline leading up to the FBI's probe into whether Clinton violated the law by hosting sensitive national security information on her very unsecure and private email server, please visit this website:

http://thompsontimeline.com/The_Clinton_Email_Scandal_Timeline

It's really NOT about emails. It's about a possible violation of 18 US Code 793: Mishandling national security data (and it does NOT matter if that data was classified or not - mishandling national security data is a crime, ipso facto).

I'm sure the Hillary supporters here will not go to the website to attempt to learn more, but don't say you weren't warned. To the rest of you, please visit and get armed.

Even indictment of staffers would be bad unc70 May 2016 #48

In the unlike chance that actually happened, it still won't put the Bern in the White House, bro Tarc May 2016 #52

No one can predict the resolution of chaos,... HooptieWagon May 2016 #99

You point to conspicuous weaknesses in our system as justification for perpetuating them RufusTFirefly May 2016 #8

Petraeus pled down from 793, a felony, to 1924, a misdemeanor. Berger also pled guilty to 1924. leveymg May 2016 #19

And don't forget this: Fawke Em May 2016 #28

Not just from Camp Sanders, as Bernie Sanders correctly dismissed it as crap The Second Stone May 2016 #50

Neither one of them that you mention were SOS head of handling all secrets for the security of bkkyosemite May 2016 #116

Since nothing was classified at the time, it hardly matters. Tarc May 2016 #120

No one has made that claim yet zipplewrath May 2016 #148

I believe the Justice Department has a better handle on these things than you do.[n/t] Maedhros May 2016 #113

How many indictments? zipplewrath May 2016 #147

The FBI is conducting an investigation - this is fact. Maedhros May 2016 #149

They conduct alot of investigtions zipplewrath May 2016 #150

I work with the FBI. They investigate cases I bring to them, sometimes. Maedhros May 2016 #158

You are grossly mistaken zipplewrath May 2016 #173

Indeed. The Clinton Machine... NewImproved Deal May 2016 #179

The Indictment Fairy laughs at this! NurseJackie May 2016 #11

Proving my point: You don't know jack about what you're talking about. Fawke Em May 2016 #30

That for which you wish will never happen. NurseJackie May 2016 #33

You're wrong zipplewrath May 2016 #12

I don't believe the defense of "I didn't know it was classified material" will wash. rhett o rick May 2016 #23

No one would be prosecuted zipplewrath May 2016 #59

Where I worked, if you mishandled classified material you'd lose your security clearance rhett o rick May 2016 #68

Intentionally zipplewrath May 2016 #72

What about if you intentionally, using a private server, converse with someone like polly7 May 2016 #73

Showing poor judgement zipplewrath May 2016 #75

He was being paid by her Foundation at the same time, right? polly7 May 2016 #77

Because it's not zipplewrath May 2016 #79

How could he have fired her if he didn't know about it? nt. polly7 May 2016 #97

That is a problem zipplewrath May 2016 #100

She exposed state secrets at the highest level, people's lives were in jeopardy because of what pdsimdars May 2016 #101

She did not zipplewrath May 2016 #103

Did she report Blumenthal as Sec 793 requires? No. leveymg May 2016 #165

And when was the last time someone was prosecuted? zipplewrath May 2016 #174

You don't know what you are saying. I'd suggest you talk to someone who is an intelligence pdsimdars May 2016 #95

If one handles classified materials they are trained to recognize it. "I didn't know it was rhett o rick May 2016 #121

It is not "acceptable" zipplewrath May 2016 #144

you know what it is *not a long way from, though? Dragging my good name silvershadow May 2016 #153

You are looking at your candidate's actions through rose colored glasses. Maedhros May 2016 #115

Here's some of the language of the statute that may have been violated: CentralCoaster May 2016 #91

You know what I admire about the Clinton's? FlatBaroque May 2016 #27

Waterboard a Word!!! Getting up off the floor... Land of Enchantment May 2016 #64

Her server wasn't approved for use. Fawke Em May 2016 #31

That's not the story being told zipplewrath May 2016 #57

Ask General Pitreas about that. pdsimdars May 2016 #104

He did it intentionally zipplewrath May 2016 #105

So did Clinton. She set up an unsecured private server and used it the entire time she was SOS. haikugal May 2016 #157

No zipplewrath May 2016 #172

The information was clearly marked and she told them to take the classification off and send to her haikugal May 2016 #178

Actually, what she said was zipplewrath May 2016 #183

Conviction under Sec. 793 requires neither intent nor actual harm. Mishandling is enough. leveymg May 2016 #42

Necessary, but not sufficient zipplewrath May 2016 #63

She did it despite and in spite of being told not to use her Blackberry. She's in serious trouble leveymg May 2016 #87

So far you have nothing zipplewrath May 2016 #98

There is no confusion about what is classified and not. That is a typical Clinton red herring pdsimdars May 2016 #106

Everything you have posted so far is misinformation or disinformation. leveymg May 2016 #111

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. zipplewrath May 2016 #146

Petraeus was allowed to plead down to a different charge, Sec. 1924. leveymg May 2016 #163

"Allowed" zipplewrath May 2016 #176

You're calling it a "mistake", whereas the evidence shows she set up her server as an end-run around leveymg May 2016 #185

That's a heck of a deduction on your part zipplewrath May 2016 #192

The intent is clearly on the face of the acts in evidence. leveymg May 2016 #193

Not to a prosecutor zipplewrath May 2016 #194

Under the Espionage Act, stupidity is a crime. One does not have to intend to harm the US or leveymg May 2016 #195

In a court of law zipplewrath May 2016 #196

I might agree, if she hadn't herself posted classified info or encouraged Blumenthal to do so. leveymg May 2016 #197

Intent zipplewrath May 2016 #198

Her use of a private server was supposedly "approved" for use. frylock May 2016 #76

Her testimony zipplewrath May 2016 #78

I hope the response satisfies your request Capt. Obvious May 2016 #85

Absolutely! frylock May 2016 #124

There is no link because that never happened. leveymg May 2016 #90
