Quote:Patraeus voluntarily GAVE troop movements and exceedingly sensitive information to his girlfriend.

 

Snowden leaked classified information in attempt to sabotage the federal government.


 

Clinton had a couple dozen emails about classified material on a non-approved server, and then deleted them at an appropriate time.

 

 

It's OK to be upset, as thin skinned tweetmaniac Donald is, but there are no parallels with Clinton, Patraeus, and Snowden.  There are other ways to show displeasure over the ruling, and plenty on which to fault Clinton (you can call her careless or clueless, for example), but her conduct was not deemed to be criminal by the FBI, and I have no problem with the ruling.

I completely disagree about Snowden. He didn't leak info to sabotage, he leaked info because he wanted to change what were widespread abuses of power by homeland security. He had tried to go through the proper channels and was ignored. He was trying to help, not sabatoge and he is very much a good example of how someone who is NOT an elite is treated.

 

Although I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, if Hilliary did what Snowden did, the media would call her a hero. And if Snowden did what Hillary did, he would be in jail.
