so let me get this straight, clinton's lawyers did not have clearances to view classified emails as a result of them prepping defense case for her?


This is what I'm wondering.

HE SAID YES

That embarrassment just exposed even more embarrassment from Clinton's incompetent handling of classified information.

Based on what he just told us, there is no way for you to come to this conclusion without filling in gaps yourself. Sounded to me like at least SOME of her lawyers had Clearance. Who knows what exactly she told her lawyers to do, who she told to do it, and who ultimately did it.

She intentionally gave several people (3-9 on the technical side, and X lawyers) without clearance access to sensitive information.

And the defense boils down to that she was too stupid to realize it was wrong.

And Comey confirmed today that Hillary didn't lie to the FBI. She even contrasted HRC's truthfulness with Patreus's outrageous lying. The "HRC lied" talking point is taking a trashing today. Good luck keeping it going boys.


She is a liar there is video evidence I showed you of her blatantly lying. How do you keep arguing this?

So you can prove that when she said those statements she intended to deceive? Not that she didn’t remember or truly believed that they had complied with the requests for all emails? Or that she truly believed there were classified emails on the server?


I'm only replying to Cannon's continued insistence that she did not lie here.

Even you can admit she lied.

No, because lying requires an intent to deceive. I am not convinced she intended to deceive anyone. This entire case resolves around them digging up 4 year old emails from her previous job. Forgetting about the existence of 3 out of 60,000 emails from 4 years ago is not some crazy concept. Nor them believing that they turned everything over when some stuff was missing. Or if its like my email box, she simply missed those three emails.

Where is the classified marking on the email? Does anyone know?


The "C" marking was in the body of the magic 2 (or is it 3?) emails. You lay out exactly why it isn't a lie and why Comey doesn't think Hillary lied. Missing 2-3 "C" markers in X0,000 emails isn't a lie. Danglars did an admirable job piecing together quotes over months of investigation, but it will always come down to the magic 2-3 emails to make your case. That is was only 2-3 "C" emails is actually surprising to me. I had assumed she had been spamming mad classified info. Looks like it was a tiny, unintentional amount.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/07/07/here-are-fbi-director-james-comeys-most-scathing-remarks-about-hillary-clintons-actions-in-email-scandal/

Also, according to State Department, Some classified markings in Clinton emails were 'human error'. You all can try to spin against Comey and the State department, but you will lose.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/07/hillary-clinton-classified-emails-error-225194

So wait, so the documents in question are her own call sheets? And they are only classified up until they are sent to her? My god, this has got to be the dumbest shit.

You guys are getting all excited for nothing about the lawyers. There are two key pieces:

1. No criminal intent
2. The lawyers didn't actually read the emails. They sorted them based on headers and keyword searches. It's like saying Googling something counts as reading it. Yes she provided access to classified information to her lawyers but she does have a right to legal counsel.

Beyond that, there's fucking crumbs at best. 3 email, 6 emails, whatever out of tens of thousands were classified.

Could there please be an acknowledgment of the impossible standard HRC is being held to here? Maybe she spun too hard is saying her server set up was super above board (the IT guys all signed off on it at the time, no one complained). But compare that to even one sentence from Trump, or a few sentences from Gowdy or Chaffetz. Trump can't finish a sentence without a blatant falsehood that he should have known better. The best "Hillary lied' argument left is that there were 2-3 emails that had "C" in the boddy that she missed when she said "I didn't sent marked classified emails". Note that these may have been misclassified as indicated by the State department.

If you didn't hate Hillary, then you would see that as an honest mistake.

And if you insist on holding Hillary to the standard of not just honest effort in trying to say the truth to her best recollection (remember we talking about 4 year old server configurations and emails), but to absolute truth in all statement irrespective of error, then you must hold the Republicans to the same standard.

Oh it got a little tense when the Clinton Foundation came up. Sounded like he thought that was a bigger deal. Maybe some of those rumors are accurate.

Irrelevant shit post but this thread is proof for the level of mental gymnastics people have to do to maintain their perspectives and avoid cognitive dissonance. It's amazing, I've learned argument with the purpose of changing someone's mind is utterly fruitless

Irrelevant at this point since that is not what the investigation is about.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I mean the way he said it means there certainly are investigations into going on. I know Fox mentioned it a long time ago, but was that ever confirmed? I seem to remember people lumping that into the conspiracy file?

And yet their search methods were so bad that even the tiny amounts of emails the FBI recovered from the wiped batch of emails were classified?

If he could stop following white supremacists on twitter and retweeting their shit over and over, it would be a good start. Well he did stop following two of them after a reporter wrote a story about it. But I get it, it’s a really common problem that no one really has.
