He probably knows less about how to understand application of laws than the law professor and two lawyers he says have it all wrong.

Once FBI investigators began to take an interest in the company and the server, employees at Platte River Networks began to suspect a coverup. This is from a letter submitted by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson.

“Any chance you found an old email with their directive to cut the backup back in Oct-Feb,” one Platte River employee asked another.

“I know they had you cut it once in Oct-Nov, then again to 30day in Feb-ish.”

“Starting to think this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy shit”

These conversations suggest that the Clinton team was worried that all the data on the original server remained intact after the migration, and that they asked Platte to “cut the backup” to remove that information back between October and February before the FBI would come ask for it.

The “backup” likely refers to the cloud-based backup operated by tech company Datto Inc who Platte River Networks had partnered with.

Had to take a break at this point (and i paraphrase) Allowing her to get off on the dinnit know defense is problematic because "sanctioning political idiocy may turn into an excuse for criminal behavior."

We definitely need to make an example of someone to show that political idiocy is not a defense, because that is played out ad infinitum on a local and state level. It's just sad that it will begin with her.

Painstaking research on a situation that is infinitely more complex than, of course, the corporate media ever indicates.

So glad you posted this - very informative. (I forgot to bookmark it when I read through it the first time - am bookmarking it now.)

By Federal law, this means Hillary Clinton is ineligible to run for President, according to 18 U.S.C. § 2071(b), which states:

“Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

so many implications.

will they indict before the convention?

after the convention?

what if she is the nominee?

if so, will they indict before the november election? or after?

what if she is elected and in the white house?

is this when they will indict?

then, what?

hillary may just be the riskiest candidate for president on many levels.

only bernie can get the country through this and insure a victory against chickentrump.

(*disclaimer: this moniker is not intended to harm or offend egglaying barnyard fowl. but, it does liken their reflex fear response to that of the orange candidate.)

my feeling is that will drag on for a year or so. Chicken Little will probably use this to his advantage. I think the party needs to think more clearly.
