And considering the fact that this laptop wasn't purchased until 2015, that means that there was clear INTENT to store these files on this laptop.
So, unless it can be shown where laptops are coming with these files pre-installed by the manufacturer, someone had to put forth effort to place them on the hard drive of the laptop.
Yahoo originally reported that since FBI agents have not gotten the chance to read any of the emails, they are "still in the dark about whether they include any classified material that "the bureau has not already seen."

Sadly, she won't go to jail over this. They really are above the law. Affluenza.
They are too damn rich and powerful to be treated like a commoner.
I would love to be wrong on this, but I just don't think so. There are too many cases where those with the $ get away with whatever they wish. I bet this pisses Martha Stewart off just a bit.
no,...they can't make the case in court in front of a jury...period.....ask any prosecutor, even trent gowdy who would like to see Hillary swing from the gallows, closed the case.

80% of cases in recent history of mishandling classified info are not prosecuted, unless there are circumstances that prove they went above and beyond to circumvent procedures, remove info, etc. The consequences are dealt-out within the specific departments they work for.

Considering everything the left has done since lawful election falls under the guise of sedition.DT may not pursue starting with Hildebeast.condone herself..but I would.
And if the emails were deemed classified through top secret, then they were created by our government and for our government.
Just so you don't miss it again it says that 81 email chains were deemed classified at time of sending

That's not entirely correct. As we now know, emails that originated from CF employees were classified during the investigation. Not because they originated from the government, but because they contained info that the government classified once they got their hands on it.

Do you have more information on what was classified? Some emails may have discussed topics that were classified at the time within government, but were still widely discussed topics, in public, in general.
For example, at least one email chain contained a news article discussing drone attacks. While the US government would classify their information on such a topic, they cannot classify a publicly-produced news article. For the purposes of the investigation, the email containing that news article was classified.
That is the context we have to have before we jump on any bandwagon.

I say Obama will issue pardons in the email case(s) around Jan 19th.
"In the interests of national stability" will be the cover story.
You can only issue a pardon to someone who has been convicted.
Isn't there something in the law books everywhere that says something to the extent of ignorance not being an excuse? Seems like I have heard that before....just not sure.
