Let's not forget comey shitted the case

I don't remember who/what decided to follow comey's recommendations, but the law is clear, you don't need intent in the case of clinton, and comey made it about intent, he fucked the case on purpose, it's illegal what happened

Look, the hypocrisy

>Instead, Comey ended up criticizing Clinton's conduct as "extremely careless," but said no reasonable prosecutor would pursue charges based on the evidence. "Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey said in July.

AND HERE IS THE CATCH

INTENT ISN'T REQUIRED FOR SANCTIONS TO FALL

It's clear, intent isn't required, "gross negligence" alone is enough

And how did comey qualify clinton's action? As "extremely careless"

"gross negligence" == "extremely careless" OF COURSE

I mean fuck, it's a joke, it's not the exact same words but it's the same result/meaning, she should have been charged, it's the law

Intent ins't even required
