Interesting. But, of course there is no political witch hunt in the US House today.

Terrorists are waiting.

I have faith in government. I don't have faith in Republicans. Something someone would have missed in such subtlety on this blog since 2004. 

How many Republicans have ADHD? Director Comey stated the server was never successfully breached regardless of the attempts. I would expect that high level of security in the home of a former President. Off their medication maybe.

Negligent homicide? What a crack pot.

I'll tell you something there is a real problem with tort law because of negligence people are exposed to in medical negligence and malpractice. The tort laws need to be returned to a standing that imposes a real incentive for doctors to leave their practice when they are a screw up. Ever since Republicans have been involved in majority with federal law, the tort laws which protect Americans from negligence and malpractice are simply a slap on the wrist.

No one is going to investigate the person(s) that placed a "c" on e-mails. Direct Comey has already stated there could be confusion of the use of a "c" on the emails.

...There are two types of classification decisions, (click here) original and derivative. The standard marking elements for both include: banner lines, portion marks, Component, office of origin, date of origin, and classification authority block (CAB). The standard markings also apply to classified information processed in an electronic environment, such as email. Special notices may be required, if the classified document includes certain categories of information, such as Restricted Data (RD) or Formerly Restricted Data (FRD). Original Classification: An initial determination made by a person designated an original classification authority (OCA) that, in the interest of national security, information requires protection against unauthorized disclosure. 

Original classification decisions are typically codified in security classification guides (SCGs) issued by an OCA.

There are currently 86 approved OCAs within the DON (Department of the Navy) authorized to make original classification decisions...

The coding of documents of the USA government has a long lived standard, however, the people that place these designations on documents will state it is not cohesively the same across the spectrum of the government.

A civilian Secretary of State cannot be expect to be a quick study to be sure there are no errors made. The burden of national security of these people and their work and their archives does not belong to the cabinet officer. It is the JOB of people that work within the government past four year terms to know what to do and how to proceed.

The people today carrying out a witch hunt in the US House could no more tell the country they are absolutely sure they know what is classified and what is not. If they state same, they are liars.

Washington — Recent polls show Hillary (click here) within single digits of Donald Trump in Texas. And Clinton herself told a national magazine last month that she believed the Lone Star State was flippable.
So is a competitive fall presidential campaign coming to a precinct near you? Don’t count on it.
There is little evidence that the Clinton camp will mount a sustained campaign this fall for the state’s 38 electoral votes, according to more than a dozen interviews with state and national Democratic officeholders and operatives.
To be sure, the Democratic presumptive nominee herselffanned the chatter in May, when she told New York magazine that she thought Texas might be in play “if black and Latino voters come out and vote.” And both Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have a soft spot for the state, dating back to the time they spent in Texas as operatives working on behalf of George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign....

The letter "c" is completely hideous to classify a document. That is kindergarten stuff.

The ONLY way to INSURE national security is to be sure the infrastructure stands up to attack.

The Obama Administration is the first to use electronic records on a daily and hourly basis. This after a US President that didn't have an e-mail account and turned down his bed linen at 9:00 PM. 

Director Comey was bound by "fairness" and "precedent." We are a country with a multi-party system leading to power of the USA government. If there was a single method of prosecuting of what is perceived by the public as a crime there is a higher percentage that the "democracy" itself would be compromised.

Every person seeking to serve in the government at any level has a right to be viewed on a political stage in view of the public so the electorate can decide when they cast their vote. If the government suddenly decided to change the precedent of which legal standard 'of practice' is viewed, there is a high percentage members of parties would be eliminated from the participation in the government.

"Fairness" and "precedent" are standards that can be respected. What Director Comey did was to look into the past and how other civil servants are judged and applied those standard to Secretary Clinton. It is correct to carry out a judgement on that basis. It is the guarantee the people will have representatives in their government to protect their freedoms.

Law for the sake of law cannot be applied to 'the living' government. Americans are not perfect and sometimes find themselves caught up legal problems they never expected. If the USA invoked law for the sake of the law, the human being is lost AND the purpose of government is lost. 

We have recently (in timeline of history) began insightful reflection on our judicial sentencing standards. That is the right thing to do. The USA still has the highest number of incarcerated in the world. That decision to examine the USA judicial sentencing standards was an act of the humans. It was not a requirement of the law. Humans are more important as subjects of the law, than the law itself. Our country has citizens and there sometimes come the opportunity to strengthen our democracy and the review of sentencing standards is that opportunity. 

When government judges itself the citizen comes into view and how decisions impact their lives and potential into the future. 

Law and judging government is a defined standard, in this case "fairness" and "precedent." It may seem corrupt, but, in explaining his decisions it becomes clear why the USA can trust Director Comey in relation to the strength of the country and it's freedom.

The House Republicans are pandering to their 'common sense' electorate rather than uplifting them to be insightful as how their government conducts itself. The Republicans are exploiting the naivete of the people in stating the decision regarding Secretary Clinton was political. This is a political stunt for elections in November. It is just that simple.
