In reply to the discussion: Hillary's Email Scandal for Non-Techy People [View all]spin
(17,493 posts)If I would have been caught mishandling classified information I would have most likely spent time behind bars and been forced to pay a significant fine.
In any well functioning representative democracy the rule of law is extremely important and should apply equally to everybody including those at high levels in the government. When it is ignored and certain privileged people have a gold plated Get of of Jail Free card then you live in at best an oligarchy or at worst a banana republic.
I hope that if the FBI does feel that the evidence proves Hillary mishandled classified email and recommends she be indicted that the DOJ agrees. If not I will lose whatever pride I have left for my country and will realize that our founding fathers' dream has ended in failure.
In many ways Hillary reminds me of Richard Nixon. Nixon also thought he was above the law.
