Mishandling Classified Information....information that didn't belong to her, information that belonged to the Government....thereby, the People. They're talking possible espionage.....the laws she has been said to have broken, had nothing whatsoever to do with the basic Freedom of Speech contained in the First Amendment to the US Constitution, & if they prosecuted her by existing espionage law, she wouldn't stand much of a chance.... You do realise that the previous politicians they checked - the two previous Secretary of state had both effectively done the same thing......... Glad you didn't research on this one either Daffy!
Did you know that the law changed before SHillary Clinton became Secretart of State?
Why?
Could it be that when something is broke, sometimes they try to fix it......in this case for National Security Reasons?
JFYI, the laws were changed, & not only that, Clinton knew it, & ignored it completely, only to later deny knowing it, & to then later on admit she knew, but like you saw nothing wrong with it because others did it before her......unfortunately she had already admitted to knowing the laws were changed......so
So ....Not effectively the same thing...
As an employee of the People, as Sec. of State, she had the responsibility of protecting Classified information, work product that does not belong to her personally, nor ever belonged to her personally, from people who may have motives not in the best interests of America, & its People (her employers), from accessing that Classified Information.
This never was about her personal emails, say to her daughter, or her husband, to her Uncle Fred.
This was always about how she stored, & where she stored Classified Information vital to National Security, subjecting these materials, & her work product, to the peering eyes of anyone able to break into her unsecured server(s).....to the detriment of the American People & her Government.
Clinton chose not only to disregard that responsibility, but decided to co-mingle her personal correspondence with her Work Product & Classified Correspondence, in a flagrant display of indifference, even though she was, by her own Congressional testimony & eventual admission, she was completely aware that it was inappropriate to do so. Her reasoning that years before her that it was done by another Secretary of State, but later admitted that she was aware that subsequently, new laws had since been put in place to guard against using "Personal Servers" which may lead to housing Classified Information insecurely & illegally.
Now, any of her personal correspondence, not related to her duties as Secretary of State would be perfectly fine on the server she decided to use, but by law she was aware she needed to keep America's Classified Information, & all her work product, separate, & secure on government servers.
It's not, & never was a Freedom of Speech issue.....& for the life of me, I can not honestly understand how anyone in their right minds can confuse her activity, with how President Trump spoke freely about what he did, & as he did on Twitter.
It's like comparing his using a strong mouth wash, with her using caustic drain cleaner, both with different end results.
