Quote:Don't get me wrong, I don't support her or what she did and did not well before the various "scandals". The one thing I do take question with is people calling for her to be brought up on treason. 

 

I did not intend to get this sidetracked with Snowden, just used it as way to try and better portray where I was coming from. 

 

Treason isn't the appropriate charge.  After all, she did not intentionally give classified information (directly) to anyone.  However, she clearly (it appears at this point) mis-handled classified information and it appears that she did impede an investigation regarding a possible breach of security.  It also looks like there is a "cover up" regarding this.

 

Again I ask, what if this activity was done by Donald Rumsfeld or Robert Gates, both Secretaries of State under President Bush?  Do you think that it would be a "non-issue"?  Would it be just "democrats foaming at the mouth" calling for an investigation and possible charges?  What would the media do?
