The House Oversight Committee is questioning FBI Director Jim Comey as I type.

Will Hurd, Representative from Texas was visibly outraged at the hearing, questioning Comey with raised voice and brows. Hurd, a former member of the CIA, pointed out the wild danger of risking exposure of classified info. Under questioning from Hurd, Comey confirmed that many of Clinton’s emails were classified as SAPs or Special Access Programs, which contain top secret information including human intelligence operations, troop movements, info about nuclear weapons, etc. 

Thus Clinton’s carelessness could very well have gotten U.S. intelligence operates killed, or jeopardize secret maneuvers.

The question of whether or not Clinton’s devices were hacked was put before Comey multiple times. He said the investigators found no evidence, however it is possible that “hostile actors” did hack and access her devices. Comey confirmed that there was evidence that foreign actors had tried and failed to hack the servers at various times. 

Committee Chairman, Rep Chaffetz, asked Comey how many people had direct access to Clinton’s servers. Comey couldn’t produce an exact number, offering, “more than two, less than ten,”

Asked why this issue of disregard for security wasn’t enough to prosecute, Comey repeatedly explained that from his interpretation of prosecutorial statute and the history of prosecution concerning matters of mishandling classified info, that there needed be evidence of intent to commit crime. Comey and the FBI investigators saw no hard evidence that clinton nor her aides had criminal intention. Therefor Comey felt no case could be made.

However, ignorance of the law is almost never a viable excuse for breaking laws. for example, if Joe gets busted for drunk driving, but claims he didn’t know that was illegal, Joe is still going to be arrested and face criminal prosecution. So I share the Republicans’ and public’s confusion over how Clinton is getting away with breaking the law simply on the grounds that she may or may not have known about it.

To that very point of ignorance….It’s hard to believe Clinton and her staff/lawyers were unaware of criminal wrong doing considering that Clinton wiped and even destroyed some of the private servers she was using in addition to thousands of emails.

In fact, Clinton and her lawyers were allowed to determine which of the several tens of thousands of emails were turned over to the FBI for investigation. Therefor the FBI didn’t even get a chance to examine anywhere near all of the evidence involved in the case.

How does that make sense?

That would be like the FBI telling a suspected drug lord that they were going to raid his house, but then allowing the drug lord to chose what parts of the house the FBI get to raid.

Does anyone else think that’s not only incriminating, but totally insane?

So Comey concluded that since no criminality was intended, Clinton’s motivation for abusing security protocol was convenience.

That’s right. So the Secretary of State put lives and operations and security at risk for the sake of a convenient work day. What a model leader. And this from a woman who rails on her opponent for “irresponsibility”.
