Enter Whistle Blower Terrance Yeakey.

Slit his own throat 11 times, crawled 1 mile, with his throat cut open, to a remote field in El Reno, and found with rope burns and handcuff bruises on his wrists, along with a single gunshot wound to the right temple from a 45-degree downward angle.

Coroner's ruling: suicide.

It just so happened that the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building housed FBI documents to the Clinton's Whitewater real estate scandal and were subsequently destroyed in the bombing.

Yeakey had worked for a year after the bombing, attempting to investigate an elaborate cover-up of the OKC bombing.

bf4truth 1ポイント2ポイント 23時間前

This crime doesn't require "intent." Whatever form of "mens rea" that was needed was there, they just didn't want to prosecute. A lot of legal scholars afterwards said that there was no issue with intent from what he said and that a prima facie case did exist. Hence, you get memes like this, because everyone knows the reason to not prosecute is unrelated to the facts of the case.

wiseracer 15ポイント16ポイント 1日前

I don't think they need to prove intent with this type of information. He even said, in not so many words, being stupid is not an excuse for exposing the highest level classified information. There is a long history of punishing many people for much less than this.

In essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require. The added intent element, moreover, makes no sense: The point of having a statute that criminalizes gross negligence is to underscore that government officials have a special obligation to safeguard national defense secrets; when they fail to carry out that obligation due to gross negligence, they are guilty of serious wrongdoing. The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence.

No way the Obama administration was going to allow Hillary to be charged. Maybe the FBI felt that they couldn't prove intent. I tend to believe that Comey's hands were tied and that his two options with associated outcomes were more or less:

  1. Bring charges against her and lose your job.
  2. Don't bring charges against her and keep your job.

So he took option 2 (and again, maybe they felt they couldn't prove intent) and in the process basically shredded any credibility she had left (for anyone paying attention anyway).

jimbles1Ron Swanson For President 21ポイント22ポイント 1日前

/u/lpzthehvy from /r/law explained it for us lay people:

I'll jump in and give it a shot, but the other comments in this thread have done a good job of laying out some stuff. Full disclosure: I'm a law student with no special background in this area, so please feel free to listen to actual lawyers before me.

So, the law at issue is 18 U.S.C. § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information. This law lists seven relevant subsections under which a person could be charged with, (a) through (h).

Subsections (a)-(c) require intent to commit espionage. Since no one is alleging Clinton intended to spy on the United States for a foreign country, those are out. Subsection (d) requires willful intent to communicate the information with someone not entitled to receive it. Since she never intended it to be seen by anyone else, doesn't apply. (e) requires unauthorized access, but since she was authorized to access the information, that's out. (g) just says conspiracy rules apply, so you still need to be guilty of something else for this to kick into effect. Lastly, (h) just says a person guilty forfeits relevant property. So, we're left with subsection (f).

Subsection (f) says:

Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

Let's simplify this language a bit:

Whoever has lawful possession of classified information AND:

  1. Through gross negligence allows the classified information to be removed from its proper place, delivered to an unauthorized person, lost or stolen; OR

  2. Knows the classified information has been illegally removed from its proper place, delivered to an unauthorized person, lost or stolen AND does not report it.

So, the most relevant thing here is #1. for Clinton to commit a crime under this statute, you need: (1) lawful possession of classified info; (2) gross negligence; and (3) removed, delivered, lost, or stolen info. She is only guilty if all three exist.

The FBI concluded that she has lawful possession (easy because she was Sec. of State) and that her actions likely were grossly negligent. But, the investigation comes up short on whether using a home server is removing the information from its proper place of custody. It's tricky because these are emails that were always intended to be seen by her and put in her custody. So, no unauthorized access and not lost or stolen. At the end of the day, they ended up in her e-mail inbox (where they were supposed to be), it's just that her inbox was on a server that was unsecured. There's a potential for them to have been stolen, but there's nothing yet to indicate they ever were.

There is definitely an argument that this can count as information "removed from its proper place of custody," but there's also a strong counter-argument. The FBI concluded a prosecutor would likely not try to bring this case, given the huge potential for reasonable doubt and the absence of any evidence to indicate anything actually was stolen.

TL:DR: She screwed up, but not enough to prove criminality beyond a reasonable doubt.

DarthNetflix 86ポイント87ポイント 1日前

The FBI isn't saying that she didn't break the law, only that there is not enough proof to get a conviction. If they tried to bring those charges to court, they would not be able to get a conviction. The FBI only asks for charges when they are sure they can get a conviction.

For the record, I think Clinton is definitely guilty of criminal charges, but I just don't think that a court would find her guilty. Not enough evidence for a conviction.

No. And that was the FBI's responsibility here. They are not moral police or ethics authorities.

Eh, its pretty funny to see people trot out all these due processes of law when there is a history of the FBI creating bogus charges just to negatively impact people's lives. Lee Chagra was a lawyer that would represent drug dealers in court and was very good at getting them light or no sentence. The FBI hated him for it so made up false claims about him being a drug kingpin and indicted him. The "evidence" was bogus and the case was thrown out. But news of him being indicted as a big time criminal ruined his name and law firm.

They ruined someone simply because they didn't like him. So this shit about due process is funny. It's because she's a Clinton, nothing more.

Read those last two sentences again. He's saying that a person in the Executive Branch (i.e. still employed there) would face administrative sanctions.

Look at the FBI's history of security sanctions for this exact crime.

Everyone gets an espionage charge on their record for the rest of their life and is asked not to seek security clearance again. Security sanctions and criminal charges most often go hand in hand for mishandling classified information

Jess_than_three 25ポイント26ポイント 1日前

No, he didn't say that at all. You're misunderstanding the last sentence.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

"That" means "the issue of whether she should receive security or administrative sanctions". Security or administrative sanctions were not what they were deciding then. The FBI investigation was not about that.

Here is literally, in plain English, what that paragraph means:

"We're not saying that this is not a thing that should have consequences. People who do these things often receive disciplinary action from their superior. However, per the law and existing precedent, what they don't receive is criminal charges. And that's what we're here to do or not do."

This becomes a fait accompli for the next senior official who fucks up in any kind of gray area because the precedent has been set (rinse, lather, repeat). Note, I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that it isn't some pro-Clinton exception/conspiracy.

Cool your blood down. What he said, in effect, was that maybe she should have been fired, but that that's not what the investigation was about.

It's like if you called the police because you had an employee who was taking too-long breaks. You wanted them arrested.

I thought the larger point was that many other government employees also use private servers because the state departments system is slow, outdated, and cumbersome to use, and it was Clinton's high profile that brought this to light more than anything. Also, the precedent for indictment in cases like this is not there, so the FBI assumed, as any prosecuting body would, that there wouldn't be an indictment if they tried? Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way a Clinton fan, but after reading the articles posted yesterday, it seemed like this was the case.

First off, military operates with different rules than the state department.

Secondly, if he did the exact same thing then he wouldn't be. The FBI, with a Republican head known for going after people, didn't just decide to let her go because he felt like it. There wasn't enough for them to feel a prosecution would be successful.

Mishandled documents on a private server while she was secretary of state. These documents held top level secret information. Just a short version of what happened.

IcyDefiance 4ポイント5ポイント 1日前

A bit worse than "mishandled". The private server existed specifically to avoid FOIA requests, and the top secret stuff just went through there because everything did. The shit security honestly isn't the main problem; the very existence of the server proves corruption and should carry severe penalties.

The Clintons may have a lot of dirt on members of the FBI and other agencies. Bill was once the president after all.

I guess I don't understand where and how the Clinton's got this power? I really don't get it. Politicians are mostly corrupt and generally evil control freaks who want your money so they can tell you what to do. Some do worse things than others.

How can she be so blatantly evil and where did this power come from? How do they maintain it? What do they have?

You know the kid from high school who was an asshole , stole shit and was a general piece of garbage but no one ever really fucked with him because he was best friends with the biggest kid who could beat your ass?

Who is Hillarys muscle? Where is her influence coming from?

FourFingeredMartianSomali Refugee 7ポイント8ポイント 1日前

Biggest bullshit meme going around is this one. If the FBI Director wanted he could of made the recomendation. This is simply one hand washing the other. There is no conspiracy, or fear of life -- that's just childish. James Comey simply doesn't see a need to hold those in power accountable because then he may one day be held accountable for his own treasonous actions actions against the American public, ie cracking the fuck out of US persons without a warrant, or any of the other BoR amendments to the constitution he willfully neglected.

lelolcj 6ポイント7ポイント 1日前

It's sad that I have to scroll this far to find the first sensible explanation of Comey's actions, and it is sitting at negative points. As you said it is incredibly childish to assume that Hillary holds a figurative gun to FBI director's head and forces his hand, RATHER than Comey paving way for a candidate he knows will be favorable towards the actions of his institute.
