    He already served his time, for whatever reason, the Judge had an axe to grind and wanted to persecute the man. He already served the time according to the prosecutor and the plea deal. The judge even approved the plea deal, then decided he wanted to sentence Polanski to 50 years instead.

    I'm so glad that you know exactly how to get around this problem though, so I am sure you have approached the prosecutor and explained the error in his professional conduct.

    The problem was the use of non clay based cat litter. The exact clay based cat litter is proscribed because it won't react with the waste, but will absorb it and contain it.

    FYI, 1% of 330 million is 1.55 million. Pointing out how many people are in the 1% makes you look like you fail at math.

    The current GDP per capita is $53k, if everyone got the same amount of money, that is how much you would get every year right now (it would be far less, but this is a good example). Now, if you think that is a raise, perhaps you should go out and get a degree, or work hard in a technology field and start earning more money. I almost make double that amount, and I would not say that I am well off, but it puts me in the top 5% of the US.

    From https://www.fbi.gov/news/press...

    Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.

    Yes, being careless with classified information IS illegal. Perhaps you would like to argue with James Comey about what is legal and not? Unfortunately, because Hillary is well connected, and wealthy, no prosecutor would take the case, it doesn't make it any less illegal. This on top of the official records act laws others mentioned.

    Don't forget the crime she committed by forwarding highly classified emails to people not authorized to have access to the information. She was either grossly incompetent (she didn't know what a Top Secret classification meant?) or she intentionally broke the law. As a original classification authority, she is even expected to be able to identify and properly classify information when it isn't marked, which she utterly failed at when it was even marked.

  16. You have that backwards. In a state (like Maryland where I live) where it doesn't matter who I or anyone I know votes for, Baltimore and Prince George's county will carry the election to D, no matter what the whole rest of the state votes for. If everyone not in those two counties was to vote for a third party, it would not cause them to win, but it would cause the big two to stop and take notice of them, like Nader did not to long ago.

  17. I was for him until he said he would pardon the traitor Snowden, and was going to disband the IRS and NSA. While the second part is consistent with his platform, it isn't exactly a wise choice. The IRS needs to exist, unless he is going to also unilaterally get rid of the income tax, or change it to a different type of tax, and the NSA, while it has its issues, is a necessary organization as well. Without the NSA, no one is securing the communications of the US gov, and the NSA only does what the executive branch asks of it, so they can be reformed into anything the president wants them to be, why get rid of an agency that does so much good for the country?

    Kind of along the same lines; is there any thought to moving to a USB-C (USB 3.1) connection? This would allow running USB, power, network, and video over a single port, which would ultimately reduce costs.

    I expect the main problem is the bus speed, and costs of the controller chips involved with USB-C.

    Of course, there is no case like Clinton's, even Powel never sent or received classified information. It is however gross negligence, and all of these above were the same.

    You mean like all the other people who weren't arrested or charged with a crime for the Snowden leaks? I don't see Greenwald hiding from the US court system, in fact he travels in and out of the US without an issue. What exactly would they be charged with?
