I have all kinds of conflicting thoughts. Once political interests target and prosecute other political interests it's a slippery slope (on both sides). However, alleged crimes probably shouldn't be overlooked just because they were committed by opposing political interests.

Failure in any way to uphold the Rule of Law diminishes its very principles. There is a reason that Justice is blind. ALL must be held to the same standard.

Gotcha. Please identify someone else who was prosecuted for improperly securing emails.

Perhaps you missed my point. Reread and reflect.

Sorry if I'm being thick. What, in your opinion, standards and or people are not being treated consistently?

I was taking about people prosecuted for improperly handling classified information, like Hillary did, only not as bad as Hillary did. Seems like you have to change the law and say that's not a crime or treat it like a crime for anyone who commits it.

So you see no difference between "mishandling" and consciously leaking or sharing? I just don't think there's been prosecutions short of the conscious effort to share or leak. Am I wrong?

2/2 put our nation's security at risk by being careless rather than nefarious. But both are supposedly law violations. There might be a difference in ultimate penalty depending on intentions. (The Snowden Defense.)

Think of it this way: what good would any law protecting our classified info be.. if anybody could fail to follow it with impunity if they simply argued no bad intentions? It would put all of our classified info at risk of mishandling.

There are work rules and elections that penalize breaches of policy that aren't criminal. You can lose an election and/or your job for mishandling- that's a consequence too, right?

Yes I would think so. But not all who have responsibility for handling classified info run for office. In theory HC should have been held accountable for mishandling even if she had never tried to run for president. Pretty serious.
