    Hmmm....lots of "accidents" at Facebook lately.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/facebook">@Facebook</a> says it has unblocked the posting of links to <a href="https://t.co/nxEDEZBO1j">https://t.co/nxEDEZBO1j</a> and that the blocking was 'an accident'.</p>&mdash; WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) <a href="https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/757330299491606528">July 24, 2016</a></blockquote>

    You are of course assuming these revelations have to do with Clinton's email scandal.

    Understand, that the Clinton Foundation was also hacked...and we have seen none of the emails from that yet.

    Well if it is related to that, but the time they assemble investigators and gather the evidence, and actually get an indictment, it could be too late for the desired effect.

    While the FBI was already on the case, the evidence could have simply broadened the investigation.

    That's the way it seems to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

    So the DWS replacement Donna Brazile is also implicated in the leaks

    she said she wanted to cuss out the Bernie Campaign and called their supporters 'lunatics'

    You guys get that it would be the exact same bull**** if it was the RNC right?

    Gotta love Zuckerberg and Facebook right about now:
    • Allowing instructional videos on how to stab to death innocent Israelis: Okay!
    • Posting links to WikiLeaks.org in light of the DNC scandal: CENSORED

    Yes. And you get it that we know you are begrudgingly agreeing with our thesis that the DNC is corrupt and not worth supporting by having to bring up and question the RNC, right?

    nope.

    My point is that this exposes that national politics is no different than political internet message boards. It's not an issue with just the DNC, all of these organizations and PACs are all about this ****.

    If these emails strike you as "corrupt" then so is the entire system. It would be the same **** with the RNC especially given the Trump campaign.

    My point is that it's all bad.

    "lol" @ IRS. Its a crime to defraud the IRS. It is not a crime to make a mistake on your taxes. Dont convolute a black and white issue.

    You have no idea the responsibilities and repercussions of mishandling classified information.... its not a black and white issue nor is intent an all defining matter.

    This is a fact. With the evidence we have been given, it was most certainly a case of gross negligence. That would automatically mean she loses her privilege to classified information.

    You are correct.

    Not to defend the RNC, however the RNC was much more transparent in their intent to submarine Trump.

    I have a strong problem when parties put up paper candidates. The DNC is bad about this. Its even worse when you have egomaniacs like Clinton would will sell out her values to anyone. The right can criticize Obama all they want, but at least he has a history of sticking to his values.

    In the law itself, it IS cut and dried. Intent is specifically NOT required for it to be a violation. But I get that when it comes to actually prosecuting someone, it is a factor.

    The case that Comey laid out essentially stated she was guilty, just not sufficiently guilty to warrant bringing criminal charges.[/quote]

    This is a point I wish would get formally clarified. It makes sense, but does POTUS automatically get clearance? If not...how can they function as POTUS without security clearance? POTUS would be privy to classified information on a daily basis, I would think.

    To add some information I saw in a Julian Assange interview I saw last night.

    Assange hints that the FBI pushed for concessions from the incoming Hillary Clinton government in exchange for not recommending indictment. Imagine the s---tstorm that will occur if emails are produced that verify this from him.

    The tweet that leads to the video I watched.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Assange on Peston on Sunday: 'More Clinton leaks to come' (June 12) <a href="https://t.co/zkJNp0UA18">https://t.co/zkJNp0UA18</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DNCLeak?src=hash">#DNCLeak</a></p>&mdash; WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) <a href="https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/757105890659037184">July 24, 2016</a></blockquote>
