    I'd pay to see that. There used to be a death penalty for treason during war time.

    Her email server was so insecure it had to have been intentional, and she did encourage her staffers to remove classification markings and send unclassified. This to me seems like it could be classified as aiding the enemy, she was making the classified information much easier to get after all.

    Except that isn't what happened.

    GW's staff was FORCED to use private email servers to keep political campaigning email traffic separate from official email traffic. They actually encouraged people NOT to use the private email server for official business, and any usage of it this way was against the recommendations given. This is a totally different thing than never using the official email, and instead running completely out of a private email server.

    Classification Authority is a title given to people, it is a word of art. The Secretary of State, while doing their job is considered an original classification authority. Therefore, as part of her job, Hillary should be able to identify and properly classify information that is considered classified. Her statement that nothing was classified, and the fact that there were paragraph markings indicating Confidential indicates that she didn't even pay attention to the standard training, let alone the extra training she would have gotten as Sec of State.

    I would expect that whoever leaked the classified information from the classified network will be the one who gets in trouble. Setting up an email server for someone is not illegal, doing it with knowledge of what she was intending might have been, but you would have to determine if it was generally known. Whitelisting her domain in the spam servers however should have been a HUGE tip off that she was breaking the federal laws around official records.

    No, Rice didn't really use email, and Powell had a personal email account, but used State email, and the few messages that ended up on his personal email, he handed over before leaving. Clinton waited nearly 2 years, and only turned them over when she received a subpoena.

    Or Toyota's break issues (which turned out to be real).

    Oh? What story did you read? Toyota made two fixes for the "brake issue". Neither of them was to solve a problem, but to prevent a possible problem that didn't actually occur.

    1. Remove the all weather floor mats, these never pinned a gas pedal, but were pointed out as possibly being able to
    2. Reprogram the car's computer to interpret gas and brake being depressed as no gas and all brake.

    Everything I have read about this issue was that the people were actually pressing on the wrong pedal. Do you have some kind of evidence more than when NASA reviewed the logs and the systems and determined it was user error?

    When I was looking for a house, it was recommended by family that I spend between 3x and 5x my annual salary on a house. I spent a little more than 3x, and it seemed to all work out pretty well with payments.

    However, when looking at houses, the real estate agent suggested that 6x annual salary was the better figure, so the motivation of the person should be looked at pretty carefully when taking advice.

    You are totally right, she learned the tactic (which was illegal when she entered office) from the requirements placed on the Bush administration by the Democrats in order to separate out political party email traffic from the White House email traffic. Or did you somehow think that the Bush White House ran their own email server for the hell of it?

    http://insider.foxnews.com/201...

    But of course, running an official email, and a separate email for political party email is required by law, so I guess it totally explains why Hillary ran all her email through a private server and didn't provide anything for the FOIA until 2 years later while under congressional subpoena for the records. Then she has the gall to delete half the email claiming they were private.

    http://www.politico.com/story/...

    Which a court has ruled that she is wrong, all the emails are subject to FOIA. So, that means that she wiped official records...with a rag or something...

  19. The point being made is that the definition is silly, nothing has cleared its orbit, not even Jupiter the giant of the solar system. So if the definition is something about clearing its orbit of anything that could possibly eject it, that isn't the definition I have ever heard.

    https://www.iau.org/public/the...

    Even the IAU definition just says cleared its orbit. My guess is that by that definition, and the part about orbiting the sun, there are no planets. It is a silly distinction, and unless the written definition is better than that web site's definition, we are left with no planets in the solar system, they must all be dwarf planets.

    The Democratic party has something called Super Delegates which are decided by the party elite as to how they want them to vote. Bernie actually did amazingly well considering he had to fight for every delegate, unlike Hillary who was given all those votes off the bat.

    The GOP is actually far more "Democratic" than the DNC in how they choose their candidate, and so it is much more influenced by popularity. Unfortunately, the popular vote doesn't mean the best candidate, as neither party has a particularly good candidate this election.

    I will be voting for Johnson, not because I agree with his policies, but because every vote for a third party increases the chances of a third party actually being viable next election. This happens because the government funds that go towards the campaigns are allocated by percentage of the vote, so the higher percentage, the more funds the third party has to buy commercials and campaign.
