Remember kids, when you say something, the internet always remembers:
“There’s a growing belief that America has two standards of justice: one for the well-connected and one for the rest of us. As a result, many Americans have lost faith in institutions like the FBI. The only way to change that perception is restore a pillar of American justice: no one is above the law. Given the waves of new information emerging in recent months, it’s certainly appropriate that the FBI re-open the investigation into Secretary Clinton's emails. We should fight the temptation, however, to prejudge the results; the FBI must follow the facts and be fair in their findings, regardless of political implications/ramifications." - Scott Perry (R-PA) 2016
"The FBI concluded what many Americans have known for quite some time, which is that Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State and her mishandling of classified information was disgraceful and unbecoming of someone who aspires to the presidency. There is simply no excuse for Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a home-cooked email system which left sensitive and classified national security information vulnerable to theft and exploitation by America’s enemies. Her actions were grossly negligent, damaged national security and put lives at risk.
"Hillary Clinton's actions have sent the worst message to the millions of hard-working federal employees who hold security clearances and are expected to go to great lengths to secure sensitive government information and abide by the rules. They don't take their oaths lightly, and we shouldn't expect any less of their leaders.
"Hillary Clinton’s reckless and thoughtless mishandling of classified information is not the end of the story however. It’s only a matter of time before the next shoe drops and the nexus of corruption and controversy that has surrounded Hillary Clinton throughout her time in public office produces yet another scandal for the American people to endure. Given the consequential and challenging times in which we live, America simply cannot afford any more Clinton drama." - Marco Rubio (R-FL) 2016
“The FBI’s initial investigation made it clear that Secretary Clinton’s unlawful and extremely reckless handling of classified information continues to put America’s national security at risk. We are a nation of laws, and those laws should be applied equally to all Americans, regardless of their political connections. Today’s decision by the FBI to reopen this case is a critical step toward ensuring that elites like Secretary Clinton are held accountable by the same laws that apply to every other American. I urge the FBI to conduct this investigation in a fair, thorough, expeditious, and transparent manner.” - Steve Scalise (R-La.) 2016
And of course Trump, it really reads like every Rightist accusation is actually a confession:
"Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team 'were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.' Not fit!" -Donald Trump 7/2016
"We've seen a former secretary of state lie to Congress about her illegal email scheme, risk innocent American lives and bring dishonor onto our government, great, great dishonor."
"In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information." -Donald Trump 8/2016
"On political corruption, we are going to restore honor to our government. In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law." --Donald Trump 8/2016
"One of the first things we must do is to enforce all classification rules and to enforce all laws relating to the handling of classified information."
"Hillary Clinton put her emails on a secret server nobody knew about except for the man that was giving the Fifth, remember? What ever happened to him? Where is he? What happened to him? Where did he go? He pled the Fifth. Never heard - that's the end of him…She put her emails on a secret server to cover up her pay-for- play scandal in the State Department," he added.
"Nothing threatens the integrity of our democracy more than when government officials put their public office up for sale," -Donald Trump 9/2016
“We also need the best protection of classified information. That is the worst situation. Hillary's private email scandal, which put our classified information in the reach of our enemies, disqualifies her from the presidency. Totally." -Donald Trump 9/2016
"Wikileaks proves even the Clinton campaign knew Crooked, mishandled classified info, but no one gets charged? RIGGED!" - -Donald Trump 10/2016
"Right after the raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, the next morning, you got the FBI on all the major lamestream networks saying, 'Oh, the chat's up and the Google searches are up for attacking the FBI and civil war and blah, blah, blah.' And then the next day, a guy who we can't find Jack squat about, is killed, because he allegedly went in with a nail gun," said OAN host Dan Ball, agreeing with his guest that the attack on Cincinnati's FBI office was a "hoax."
In April, Ball called for every mainstream media CEO and on-air host to face a "military tribunal" for treason.
Before that, he suggested that Ukraine is bombing its own hospitals.
And before that, he asked viewers to send him "dirt" on the chairman of AT&T after DirecTV decided to stop carrying the network.
Previously, he claimed that "thousands of people" have died from COVID vaccines.
Ball recently called for the US to “invade Mexico.”
Fox News: Espionage Act Does Not Apply to Presidents
Right on cue, Fox News host Mark Levin said on his podcast yesterday that the Espionage Act does not apply to presidents:
"Trump was out of office for a mere 12 months when the issues arose about these particular boxes, it may have been earlier.
Multi-millions of pages of Trump administration documents are with the Archives. So these documents likely in and around his office, etcetera, went to Mar-a-Lago.
Now as president, when he made the decision to remove them to Mar-A-Lago—if in fact he did and not the GSA—that would remove any application of the Espionage Act—period.
I understand former prosecutors don't look at it this way, but they're wrong. The law was never intended to apply to a sitting or former president.
Now remember, the Espionage Act is much, much broader than just the handling of classified documents.
It deals with information, which of course, the former president retains in his head. Now, his subordinates have no constitutional protection."
