So the hands of the grand jury are tied even if they want to bring charges if the prosecutor refuses. We really REALLY need to bring back the independent citizen grand jury!
Wasn't this based on some of the leaked emails from her server?
She was going along with their program.

intent is not a required element. That was a bs excuse they used to get clinton off the hook.
With all due respect, intent is a major element in proving a criminal case. Easily researched on google. Here is one Link
I certainly don't like it but it's what we got.
Grand juries don't need intent, that is for the prosecutors and petit juries to decide should the case go to trial.
But nevertheless intent would be necessary for a prosecution to be successful.
*IF* the case was brought before the grand jury (prepared by the U.S.A.'s office), it seems unlikely they would sign if the jury returned a true-bill. That doesn't mean that someone above the assistant USA's head didn't veto it.....

When you're right, you're right... anything is possible. We see the judicial system obstructing justice one way or another more and more and it smells like desperation to me.

Thank you for saying that. I was pretty sure that was the case and just looked it up... and you're right, intent doesn't have to be proven. We know it happened, and that she should have known better. But I think I remember it being reported that she did not take a mandatory class on handling records and communications.

All this happened under the old administration. I'm very curious to know if the new one will do anything about the blatant corruption we all saw.

Maybe he won't appoint nothing but corrupt Exxon Mobil and Goldmansaks lobbiests...
Too late..
The whole " It's not a corrupt system, it is just hillary who is corrupt" BS is stupid at face value...
Hillary is not in office and that is all I really cared about.

You can infer intent by actions, like destroying evidence.

Nothing against the person you were responding to, but I really don't give a rat's patootie for anyone's opinions -- and that's all you're offering and asking for. You can rationalize it and excuse it and paint whatever pretty little picture you want around the perceived circumstances/person, but it's still just opinions and guesses and rationalizing!!!
There was a grand jury... there may still be a grand jury... there are facts... gossip isn't good enough.
