    Because you clearly are and you clearly want two different standards of prosecution for Clinton and for Flynn. For Clinton intent matters but for Flynn it does not.
    What could be more clear?

    It's a little more complex than that because Clinton broke so many more laws. Just the destruction of evidence and her stonewalling of investigations alone makes her case different than Flynn's. She's guilty as hell on so many levels....but you already agree she should be prosecuted, right?
    But under the standards of James Comey, both Clinton and Flynn are innocent due to lack of malicious intent. Sorry. That's your guy getting Hillary off the hook and now you are stuck with that impediment to destroying Flynn for what amounts to a big nothing burger according to the Army who already investigated the matter.

    More false stories by the Washington Post. The article says:

    "A secret U.S. military investigation in 2010 determined that Michael T. Flynn, the retired Army general tapped to serve as national security adviser in the Trump White House, “inappropriately shared” classified information with foreign military officers in Afghanistan, newly released documents show." The article goes on to say the findings can be read because it is classified.

    It is another no proof, no one with a name and no independent possible verification personal attack - meaning it is just more crap unknown someone or the Washington Post itself just made up.



    Not the same. No evidence about Flynn. There is about Clinton.

    Hillary Clinton should be taken before a grand jury to decide if there should be charges.

    Flynn was examined and reviewed. Obama's team refused to allow this with Clinton. Are you ok with a Federal Grand Jury being given the emails and evidence for their review?

    What "statutes"? As I recall, Hillary Clinton was not convicted (not even charged) on any "statutes". OTOH, Flynn was a military officer and subject to military rules of jurisprudence. So what "statutes" do those two very different things have in common?

    Hillary was raked over the coals by the FBI so the answer is no, no comparison.

    What was Clinton's intent and what was Flynn's intent? Which one created an exposure of our classified information to hackers including our enemies and created a danger to our national security and which one posed no potential danger to our national security by discussing tactical information with his fellow allied military commanders in the field?

    Are you still trying to equate the two?

    Suddenly intent matters? Where does it say that in the law? How quickly you all forget your own argument.

    Well, if you didn't personally vote for trump you seem determined to defend the silly man child every time he has a petulant outburst. Let's just hope he doesn't burn the country down in the process of dealing with his numerous insecurities.

    First off let me say that I don´t believe for a minute that Donald Trump
    is either a conservative Republican,nor is he a Democrat although he does
    share both many conservative Republican views as he does liberal,or Democrat
    views.
    Much rather a libertarian Independent that unlike Hillary,bleeds red,white and blue
    A pro-American Independent.
    But were he to have run as an Independent he most probably would have
    lost the 2016 Presidential campaign.
    And since there are only two major political Parties to choose from in the United
    States,he chose to run on a Republican ticket.

    Now,are you really trying to say that you´re not satisfied with some of the people
    Trump is actually surrounding himself with?
    Please,say it isn´t so.
    Trump has put highly decorated,seasoned veterans in positions pertaining to the
    US vital interests and most of all its national security.
    Add to that a highly touted and respected Congressman as AG etc.

    Kudos President-elect Trump.
    On January 20,2017 the floor is yours.
    It´s a long awaited time since we´ve had both a Republican President and both Houses
    of Congress.
    Can hardly wait for his Supreme Court appointees.
    So please let us never forget that America is and always will be America.
    It´s high time America puts the welfare of its own citizens first,not last.
    Don´t get me wrong I´m all for the nation taking in foreign refugees,but not if it comes at
    the expense of American citizens.
    We´ve been helping the entire world for years,isn´t it time we put America and Americans
    first?
