Very good article by Karl Denniger on the Rule of Law.

He explains why drug dealers shoot each other.  It's because they have no legal recourse for settling disputes.  They can't run to the cops or courts.  The Rule of Law is not available to them so they adopt the Rule of the Jungle.  He touches on the medical system and Obamacare, the Housing bubble fraud with millions of victims and no punishment for the fraudsters.  He also touches on police immunity and how it corrupts law enforcement.  But to keep it topical for this thread there is the following section about James Comey:

 

What did you see this last week with James Comey?  The head of the FBI stood at the podium and described, facially, a felony violation of the law, which I remind you <span>does not
require intent, and then said "no prosecutor would bring the case."  Then, one business day later, he sat in Congress and described knowing that a <span>second felony violation of the law, perjury, had taken place and yet he insisted that he needed a "referral" to "investigate" it.</span></span>

 

Folks, if you were being interviewed because the cops thought you robbed a bank and on your kitchen table was a bale of marijuana do you think they'd need a "referral" to bust you for the weed?  You know damn well the handcuffs would be on you in seconds, so why weren't they on Hillary?


Next, if there was no <span>intent
as Comey claimed he could not find why did she lie repeatedly, both to the public and Congress, about the presence of classified information on her server?  You don't <span>lie about something you aren't trying to hide and you don't hide something that doesn't incriminate you!  Prosecutors argue this every single day before juries and get thousands of convictions every year on exactly that basis -- the accused <span>lied about something they did and that lie is evidence that they knew what they were doing was wrong as that's the only reason to lie about it!</span></span></span>

 

Another section of the same law attaches liability to anyone who is involved in these acts and fails to report them.  That facially involves Bill and Chelsea Clinton as well as Hillary's entire senior staff!  This issue is, again, not just limited to Hillary's conduct.  As persons with security clearances (with the possible exception of Chelsea) they all were aware of the law and their positive obligation to immediately report any breach of security of classified information, and failure to do so is a criminal offense.


 

Finally, contrary to Comey's assertions (which were also a lie, and since they were made to Congress were also Perjury, a felony violation of the law) there indeed are people who not only have been <span>but are being
prosecuted for quite-similar violations of the law with regard to classified data. Specifically there are service members who have been arrested, not just demoted or had their security clearances revoked, for putting classified information on unauthorized devices.  One, Kristian Saucier, faces 20 years in prison; there is no apparent public evidence that this individual ever allowed anyone outside of trusted Navy circles to see the images.  Comey made the <span>blanket statement that the government does not prosecute people who do not give said information intentionally to our enemies; his statement before Congress was a <span>lie.</span></span></span>
