2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Remember all those people calling scooter and Cheney treasonous for outing the [View all]Sancho
(9,067 posts)26. Was there a trial for treason? Why not?
Not enough evidence?
Unless you are some kind of vigilante, crimes (including treason) depend on our court system. Everyone knows it's not prefect, but it's what we have and it evolves. How do you advocate for "justice" other than our courts?
Just because YOU want to say something was a crime doesn't make it so. 50,000 Americans were killed in Korea based on what we now know was a lie. 60,000 Americans in Vietnam. The Bush war was a drop in the bucket of wars the US invented. In every case there are accusations of treason, security breaches, and profits.
You seem to think there is something new here. Sometimes evidence surfaces (remember Nixon), and many times it doesn't.

just to be clear, even if everything anti-hillary is true, it's still very different from plamegate
