Quote:I agree with your first statement.


However, Hillary did not lie to Congress. The fbi director under oath said she did not lie. She lied\misled the public, which Powell has just been caught doing as well...

 

That's not true.  She said she turned over all her e-mail, she signed a document under penalty of perjury that she turned over her e-mail and they found 2500 work related emails that were not surrendered, and now we have uncovered 15000 more that were not turned over.  This was not included in the original FBI investigation because the criminal referral was for the mishandling of classified information and they required a separate criminal referral to investigate perjury, which since has been issued by the house of representatives. 

 

As for lying to the FBI we now know that she a.) just kept repeating I don't recall and b.) she wasn't pressed. 

 

In this instance, any impartial prosecutor would draw a negative inference from the destruction of evidence (after federal subpoena, another felony) and move forward under the letter of the statute that required gross negligence in the absence of adjudicated criminal intent (Comey Directly testified to extreme carelessness: the legal definition of Gross Negligence)  and not try to rewrite the statute to let her off the hook. 

 

If you want to say that Trump is a racist, that's your prerogative, if you want to say that you think he's a bully, that's your prerogative, if you want to say you just don't like the guy, that's your prerogative, if you say that you don't like my necktie, that's your prerogative, but don't tell me that there is any other explanation than the fact that this woman is the wife of a former president.  If this was someone serving as SOS that had just been a former governor she would be in jail. 

 

This is indefensible, as someone who has had friends go to jail for record keeping requirements this is a slap in the face to every law abiding citizen in this country.  Further defense of this mess is nothing less than intellectual dishonesty at a level I would have never thought possible.
