1. will this increase the jail time for Pompeo and the participants?

2. This should really do him in -

The issue is they have retroactively - like a decade later - upclassified some, meaning that they now are classified. They are saying that people who had no access to SCIFs should have been sending emails by SCIF. This concept is stupid and would grind diplomacy to a halt.

4. Unless those people committed capital offenses

Unless those people committed capital offenses all their e-mail activities are time barred from prosecution.

6. I think Russia or wikileaks told Trump what to look for in Hillary's emails.

Not sure there is anything there, there. But whoever put the idea in his ear that there was something to find, gave Trump the idea he had a trump card.

And now that he has nothing to lose, he is going to find something, even if it has to be created.

7. yep, that would be my guess. nt

8. I think the the "upclassification" is to set the trap -

The issue is they have retroactively - like a decade later - upclassified some, meaning that they now are classified. They are saying that people who had no access to SCIFs should have been sending emails by SCIF. This concept is stupid and would grind diplomacy to a halt.

Most people won't be able to follow it and will just believe Hillary and her staff did something very wrong.

13. What an irony.

The party that sidesteps process where it can and deregulates when it can’t, is now going to use it to create a distraction for Democrats. I should say, will try to distract because he’s looking backwards where we are looking at current, relevant and developing news.
