Gorin v U.S. still stands as law my friend. U.S.793 has only been ruled on by lower courts. Obviously you are well versed on security handling but an ignorant fuck as to how the law is applied.
A law is the law UNLESS a Court says it isn't. That means that Hillary broke the fucking law. Admit that at least. Then, if you like, we can debate whether negligence should be illegal.
That is how the SC interpreted the law in Gorin. That law applies now and applies to prosecutions under 793, until this or another court changes it.
She hasn't been charged with anything yet. The very idea of deciding someone is guilty before a trial goes against every element of fairness and the rule of innocent until proven guilty. I find it rather Un American that you even suggest it.
The portion of the law that I just posted was NOT in existence when Gorin was adjudicated..
I'll try again. Do you acknowledge that the law as written does NOT require intent?
I realize you want to pretend like a ruling made 40 years prior a law being written applies to said law, but it doesn't.
