Food for thought!

But Trump was right...

Prove it!

It's already been proven many times over. The fact that you are asking for it proves you are incurably partisan, stupid, or both.

Really? I missed the trial. When and where was HRC Arraigned? Or, did a Grand Jury do the deed? Or, are you a damn liar?

Thanks for answering my question: 'BOTH' - incurably partisan AND stupid.

 

[miketx]

Hillary lied to the FBI and Congress and destroyed public property.

Next

She was not indicted, not convicted and thus is not a crook. Trump is not prosecutor, nor judge nor jury. Trump fooled the fools and it appears he fooled you too.

Crooks aren't crooks unless tried and convicted? OMG!

Oh, I sometimes forget. Fascists like you demand the accused prove their innocence. Silly of me to forget crazy right wingers like you believe an accused is guilty until proved innocent.

You ignore the point, willfully.

Yes, it IS food for thought.

It means that all the people accusing Donald Trump of colluding with the Russians to affect the outcome of the election, while having zero evidence to support their accusations, are guilty of a second degree felony.

Did I get it right?

Should have been. For repeatedly LYING to Congress.

Gowdy: Good morning, Director Comey. Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private e-mail, was that true?

Comey: Our investigation found that there was classified information sent.

Gowdy: It was not true?

Comey: That's what I said.

Gowdy: OK. Well, I'm looking for a shorter answer so you and I are not here quite as long. Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails sent or received. Was that true?

Comey: That's not true. There were a small number of portion markings on I think three of the documents.

Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said "I did not e-mail any classified information to anyone on my e-mail there was no classified material." That is true?

Comey: There was classified information emailed.

Gowdy: Secretary Clinton used one device, was that true?

Comey: She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as Secretary of State.

Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said all work related emails were returned to the State Department. Was that true?

Comey: No. We found work related email, thousands, that were not returned.

Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said neither she or anyone else deleted work related emails from her personal account.

Comey: That's a harder one to answer. We found traces of work related emails in — on devices or in space. Whether they were deleted or when a server was changed out something happened to them, there's no doubt that the work related emails that were removed electronically from the email system.

Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive. Did her lawyers read the email content individually?

Comey: No.

Gowdy: Well, in the interest of time and because I have a plane to catch tomorrow afternoon, I'm not going to go through any more of the false statements but I am going to ask you to put on your old hat. Faults exculpatory statements are used for what?

Comey: Well, either for a substantive prosecution or evidence of intent in a criminal prosecution.

Gowdy: Exactly. Intent and consciousness of guilt, right?

Comey: That is right?

It is lucky that the voters in most states saw through Hillary.

It is sad that she did get a plurality of votes when you count California and New York State -- the two most Communist states in the Union.

The law you quoted deals with extortion, not libel or slander. You highlighted a portion of the law, but you failed to highlight the part that defines intent. Had you done so you would have known that Trump did not commit a felony under the quoted statute when he accused Clinton of being dishonest. I will restate the law you cited (which is a Florida Statute) and will highlight the part you ignored:

"836.05 Threats; extortion.—Whoever, either verbally or by a written or printed communication, maliciously threatens to accuse another of any crime or offense, or by such communication maliciously threatens an injury to the person, property or reputation of another, or maliciously threatens to expose another to disgrace, or to expose any secret affecting another, or to impute any deformity or lack of chastity to another, with intent thereby to extort money or any pecuniary advantage whatsoever, or with intent to compel the person so threatened, or any other person, to do any act or refrain from doing any act against his or her will, shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

This law makes it illegal to accuse someone of a crime or offense with the intent to extort money or get the person to act in a certain way. Intent is an essential element of the crime. All Trump did was publicly accuse Hillary of dishonesty. He did not threaten to expose her if she didn't give him money or special favors. Falsely accusing someone of dishonesty would be classified is either libel or slander depending on whether the accusations were written or spoken; however, truth is an absolute defense to these charges and the evidence that Hillary repeatedly lied is overwhelming. The fact she was not convicted is irrelevant.

Conclusion: trump did not violate the Florida Statue which prohibits what is commonly referred to as blackmail.

Note: When it comes to libel or slander, truth is an absolute defense. But when it comes to blackmail, truth is not necessarily a defense. It is a crime to threaten to expose a persons secrets for the purpose of extortion. My advice: (1) always tell the truth and you will never have to worry about being charged with libel or slander; and (2) never threaten to defame someone unless they pay you off.
