Regarding Classified State Dept. Documents and Candidate Clinton

[jeff47]

7. It's not about leaks. It's about poor judgement.

Someone takes a document that Manning leaked, and emails it to Clinton. That's a security breach. The document is still classified, and she stored it on an unclassified system. Since she has a security clearance, she can not do that.

She could not be prosecuted for it, because it does not break federal law. What it does break is several executive orders regarding the handling of classified information. The worst punishment she could have faced for it was taking away her security clearance and destruction of the server. Since she no longer has a clearance, that is mostly moot.

Do you really think it is good for a candidate to get down into the weeds about executive orders versus laws when defending herself about "national secrets"?

This server is a massive minefield. We are taking a stroll through it. It is possible we will walk through unscathed. That does not mean our stroll is a good idea.
