Yes....the DOJ failed miserably on this one....again leading me to believe more so that they are just covering it for her because she has something on them.

I guess I don't understand why emails, sent between 2009 and 2013, were on a laptop that was purchased, at the earliest, in 2015.
Did Huma intentionally copy and store them on it?

Someone a few pages back posted about his experience in the Air Force dealing with classified. This is the most damning thing to me is that there are literally millions of us who served, received training on classified material, and know for a FACT that she is guilty. It's not a matter of opinion or partisan spin, or taking some pundit's word for it. We know what she did was illegal and if any of us had done it would be in Leavenworth.
For those of you sitting here trying to make excuses for her, you are simply out of your element and scrambling and it's pathetic. You wanna talk intent? The intent is proven by something she touted as one reason we should've elected her: experience. She was in the white house for 8 years as First Lady, then she was a Senator for 8 years, during which time she would have HAD to receive classified training because we know she received classified briefings. As Secretary of State, she would again have received training, and we know she did because she signed for it.
This is evidence of intent. It is IMPOSSIBLE for someone who held those positions to not know what she did was illegal. It's impossible. Period. I don't care what you think, this is what I know. If it did go to trial the prosecution could produce thousands of witnesses who could attest that there's no reasonable way you could argue a person in those positions would not know how to properly handle classified material. Proving intent doesn't require a mind scan or a confession, it simply involves a preponderance of evidence and that could easily be provided by bringing in a ton of people who can and would testify that no one in their right mind could excuse what she did as "I didn't know I couldn't do that". Let's keep the discussion in reality folks.
Also, regarding the whole "well maybe the material wasn't THAT sensitive" angle. We know that this wasn't a case of her just having sent a few emails through this server. She did ALL of her electronic business through the server. Again, it's simply NOT POSSIBLE for the Secretary of State to do his/her job for 4 years without dealing with extremely sensitive and damaging material over email. And since we know she used this server exclusively, we KNOW that very serious and dangerous material went through this server. Once again that's not a matter of opinion, it's an obvious conclusion that is born out by the facts. It's not even a matter of assumptions or speculation, just the details she has already admitted to are enough to convict her. She and the people refusing to prosecute her are relying on the fact that most of the public just don't know much about this area and they can spin it, but they can't spin it to the millions of us who have served and know this was illegal without having to rely on our favorite news network/site to form our conclusions.

According to Dell new product Press Release dated on June 2, 2015....I would say that he would have had to purchase his laptop after that date. What do you think?

Something I think people are missing out on in this argument.... the actual law that HRC is being scrutinized for has nothing to do with "intent" of what she was doing with the classified info rather than her "handling" of it. There are very specific rules to having access to classified information and "handling" is a very prevalent one. For example, the SAP files that she had stored on that server are stored in remote access facilities, meaning you have to go to one of these facilities, have top secret access to the server, copy files to another device, and place them in the HRC server.

Unless anyone can produce an earlier version then I would say "nail in the coffin" here. That is almost exactly 3 MONTHS after the subpoena for the emails and there is no way they could claim not knowing this was an unsecured device at that point....she received the subpoena in March.
This would be transferring of classified info to yet another unsecured device after the subpoena and well known this was an illegal act.

This brings up something I had a question on as well. I remember reading that she never even used the state.gov address at all. Is this true? Is there any credible source for this?
If it is true, wouldn't that fact imply intent as well, and by default wouldn't she be sending classified information on unsecured devices because she did send classified information as evidenced by some of the emails that are not available to the public, including the ones with the Obama pseudonym...

Here you go... Just to give an idea of the trouble Clinton has gotten herself into, and for Clinton supporters to adequately understand just how serious this is, here is a detailed list of the possible crimes with links so people can read it for themselves.
** As always when reading laws you will find the word "and" and the word "or" used. When the law lists the elements that must be broken to be in violation and uses the term -
* - "and" it means all elements must be broken to be in violation.
* - "or" it means each individual element stands on its own and a violation of an individual section is enough to be in violation of the law. **
The image below is the important part of the NDA she signed.

The laws in question -
* - 18 USC Chapter 37 - Espionage Act
A - 18 USC § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
(f) 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.
B - 18 USC § 798 - Disclosure of classified information
Gross Negligence - Legal Definition (In general)
An indifference to, and a blatant violation of, a legal duty with respect to the rights of others.
Gross negligence is a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care, which is likely to cause foreseeable grave injury or harm to persons, property, or both. It is conduct that is extreme when compared with ordinary Negligence, which is a mere failure to exercise reasonable care. Ordinary negligence and gross negligence differ in degree of inattention, while both differ from willful and wanton conduct, which is conduct that is reasonably considered to cause injury. This distinction is important, since contributory negligence—a lack of care by the plaintiff that combines with the defendant's conduct to cause the plaintiff's injury and completely bar his or her action—is not a defense to willful and wanton conduct but is a defense to gross negligence. In addition, a finding of willful and wanton misconduct usually supports a recovery of Punitive Damages, whereas gross negligence does not.
This is not a complete list and is based on publicly available info. I would imagine the f eds list will be a lot longer given they are investigating more than just the E-mail scandal (Clinton foundation law violations).
List of possible Crimes
* - 18 USC § 371 - Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States

* - 18 USC § 1349 - Attempt and conspiracy
* - 18 USC § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees (Obstruction of Justice)
* - 18 USC § 1519 - Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations and bankruptcy
* - 18 USC § 1621 - Perjury generally
* - 18 USC § 1622 - Subornation of perjury
