Criminal intent is the conscious decision someone makes to deliberately engage in an unlawful or negligent act, or to harm someone else. There are four specific examples of criminal intent: purposeful, reckless, knowing, and negligent. An act becomes criminal when taking into account the intent of the person who carries it out.
Additionally, acts of criminal intent are measured by their severity, and the punishments for those who commit acts of criminal intent fit the crime, so to speak, in that the punishments become harsher as criminal acts become more severe. To explore this concept, consider the following criminal intent definition.
Definition of Criminal Intent
Noun
1. Having the intention to commit a criminal act.
2. The state of mind directing a persons actions toward an unlawful goal.
What is Criminal Intent
Criminal intent, referred to in the legal world as mens rea, refers to an individuals state of mind at the time he committed a crime. Those with criminal intent are fully aware of what they are about to do and the consequences that their actions can have. For instance, if Paul thinks up a plan for how he is going to murder his wife, and then he fatally shoots her, Paul is operating with criminal intent because he knows that murder is wrong, yet he plans the act, and ultimately commits it anyway.
Criminal intent can be classified as one of four different kinds of acts: purposeful, knowing, reckless, and negligent. Criminal acts that are done purposefully are those that are carried out by someone who is fully aware of the consequences his actions can cause, such as the murder example provided above. Criminal intent is a necessary component in prosecuting a crime. If criminal intent does not exist, then it stands to reason that the crime that was committed cannot possibly be considered criminal in nature.

If anyone thinks that this "corrupt criminal intent organization" in the white house and others that are enabling this crap.........................should be let go...........................and that there should be no consequences for ones actions ....................then think of this................ this asshole "said" that he could stand on fifth avenue and murder someone and nobody would care (paraphrased), because when he said that .........................that was criminal intent, even if the act was not carried out.......................and everything that has transpired prior and after this means that he and everyone in that white house are guilty by association, because they know, some of them what is right and what is wrong, and he should be IMPEACHED...................and charged.........................it is about Principles......................
And it is getting tiring hearing the talking heads ask some stupid question if the democrats should Impeach or not.......................it is about how someone in the white house and his entire life and family have been in the act of "CRIMINAL INTENT"..................their entire life.........................you have someone that wanted his counsel and others to commit subornation of perjury........................that is "CRIMINAL INTENT"
And the media is trying their f***ing best to turn this into a ratings game..........................this is not some game......................this is a constitutional crises........................what are the democrats going to do what are they not going to do, my f***ing question is why not ask the f***ing republican senate, since you (they) have this power ....................do you condone, this type of bullshit.....................yes or no, and if they try to deflect some cockamamie answer , ask, again, do you condone this action of criminality, yes or no .......................and this jerk in my opinion had this intent...............................................

(14,532 posts)how Mueller claimed Donnie Jr was too dumb to know accepting help from a foreign government is illegal. Especially when they lied in an effort to conceal it? they denied it happened, then lied about it non-stop.
Those are the actions of someone who knows they did something wrong.
