Here’s a useful clarification of an important (and basic) legal point involving the prosecution of conspiracies.
A twitter follower over at Doc SWC raises a pertinent question—which SWC answers. DNS records are non-public. But is it a crime to spy on them, i.e., capture them, and use them for whatever purpose you desire? Probably not but, says SWC, that’s not the real point. If the capture of the DNS records is part of the larger conspiracy—and, IMO, there’s no real doubt of that—then that activity becomes one of those overt acts (not necessarily criminal in and of itself) that extends the date at which the Statute of Limitations starts to run on the conspiracy charge. I hasten to add that the possibility remains that there are other such overt acts that we don’t yet know about.
The possibility remains, of course, that at least some of these particular DNS records were classified. Possibly, but I don’t know. If they were then you probably have the foundation for an additional charge, but the main point for now remains. The SoL is extended.
As I was saying, for now I’m going with the second alternative:
And this:
Well, she could always start floating the idea of another Prez campaign. But how many times can you go to that well?
Mark,
Please do not ignore the fraud on the FISA court, the turnover of Carter Page's and the two hop communication records from the NSA which ended up in the hands of PRIVATE contractors working for HRC.
The pattern of conduct indicated to me an attempt to assure permanent control over selection of the Presidency by the Democratic elite.
IMO Hillary Clinton floating the idea of running for POTUS again is a clear signal to those in the government that if they value their careers they should do everything that they can to help her to avoid any responsibility for her actions or the actions of others who assisted her. No one takes her serious about running again.
