CNN and Reuters: Inspectors General concluded Clinton emails presumed classified

37. Okay

(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense,

The State Department publicly confirmed today that Hillary Clinton’s use of personal email while serving as Secretary of State violated no laws or policies that were in place at the time, bringing an end to the substantive side of the “email scandal” if certainly not the political side. Clinton’s opponents in the 2016 election and their followers have been hoping the issue would force her out of the election, but now they’ll be reduced to simply trying to create a scandal where none exists, after the department’s official words today.


State Department official spokesperson John Kirby appeared live on CNN today and flat out stated that “she was not violating policy.” Like many other high ranking officials who came before and during her tenure, Hillary Clinton opted to bypass the wonky email servers provided by the department due to the fact that they couldn’t, for instance, properly work with mobile email apps on smartphones. Previous Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have acknowledged having done the same.

How can she be "grossly negligent" when her employer said she complied with her employer's policies?

(2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

There is no evidence that "the same has been removed from its possible place of custody" and Secretary Clinton "fail(ed) to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer."


Please provide a list of all governmental officials who were successfully prosecuted for violations of The Espionage Act and the factual basis for the prosecution. Or in the alternative you can concede that no governmental official was ever prosecuted under the same factual basis as Secretary of State Clinton.

Thank you in advance.


We are back to square one. One has to look to the legislative intent and history of a law to divine who should and should not be prosecuted for violations of it. That's why the law has been used almost exclusively on traitors, spies, subversives, and leakers.
