OMG flashbacks of hearing "extreme carelessness" instead of the statute she broke "gross negligence" as if there is (1) any difference, and (2) that it somehow exonerates her.fasthorse05 said:
Okay guys, does criminal intent only count for government employees, or are the fines and imprisonment just worse for intent?
In going back to the Clinton email fiasco, the country was beat to death with "no intent", and as a result, seemingly no crime, and certainly no punishment. I understand intent would suggest premeditation for any crime, but I saw intent mentioned with the Clinesmith news on Friday. His attorneys statements don't count, since he was being a representative attorney, and his public statements were horse crap.
I'll give you my benighted legal view, which means a crime according to US statute is just that, a crime. So does intent extend and enhance the indictment? If intent is included in the indictment, is it more difficult to convict? I would think so.

Again I'd note that intent wasn't required under the statute. That was all a Comey bull crap facade for the dunces.We fixed the keg said:OMG flashbacks of hearing "extreme carelessness" instead of the statute she broke "gross negligence" as if there is (1) any difference, and (2) that it somehow exonerates her.fasthorse05 said:

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.
I would point out, moreover, that there are other statutes that criminalize unlawfully removing and transmitting highly classified information with intent to harm the United States. Being not guilty (and, indeed, not even accused) of Offense B does not absolve a person of guilt on Offense A, which she has committed.

No, Mueller was just the public face of the investigation that bore his name, much as Joe Biden would be the public face of the administration bearing his name were (per imposssible) he to be elected in November. The real power behind the Mueller investigation was Andrew Weismann, a left-wing poster boy for prosecutorial abuse (he figures prominently in Sidney Powell's scathing "Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice")
.
Writing about Mueller's appointment of Weismann to be his chief aide, Jonathan Turley noted that it raised eyebrows because of Weismann's notorious record. Weismann, Turley noted, "has been widely criticized for a pattern of 'prosecutorial overreach' in cases like Enron."
"Weissmann's work against the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen is one such example. The convictions that he secured at any cost in that case were unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court. [Too late! Some 18,000 people lost their jobs because of Weismann's overreach.] Likewise, Weissmann secured convictions against four executives with Merrill Lynch by stretching the criminal code beyond recognition. The Fifth Circuit reversed them. He also resigned from the Enron task force in the midst of complaints over his tactics."
I would not doubt that it was Weismann who recommended those pre-dawn raids against Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, who engineered the use of Manafort's own lawyer against him, or who saw to it that Manafort was kept in solitary confinement while repeatedly being dragged out and asked whether he didn't remember anything incriminating about his friend Donald Trump.
Disgusting behavior by a disgusting human being. Nor has Andrew Weismann learned any lessons. Today, when he is not holding fundraisers for Joe Biden, he is penning op-eds for The New York Times urging Justice Department officials not to cooperate with the Durham investigation or Tweeting nonsensical protestations that Kevin Clinesmith really did nothing wrong in doctoring evidence and lying about it.
As Jonathan Turley notes, Weismann was "completely distorting both the law and the facts to disregard the significance of [Clinesmith's] guilty plea."
But that is precisely what Andrew Weismann does: distort the law and the facts in order to destroy people he doesn't like and feed his appetite for power. I noted above that Kevin Clinesmith came rather low down on my "little list" of reprobates. Andrew Weismann comes much higher up and I know I am not the only one who hopes he has attracted the interest of John Durham.
The squealing pig always gets some attention. Weissmann would have been well-advised to keep his mouth shut about Clinesmith, since he was under Weissmann's control at the time the crimes were committed. I don't GAS about what some footnote in the Mueller Report said otherwise. Weissmann was running the show, not the FBI nor Main Justice.Quote:

This is a good article. It clearly articulates why the actions of the cross fire team was anything but a true CI Investigation. Yet, all along they insisted it was so that they could justify spying and create perception of Russian collusion. Weisman's tweet was just the latest.drcrinum said:
