    I wonder whether the Trump Administration will push for the maximum sentence (to make her an example and discourage all this leakage), or let her cop a plea for minimum time (so we don't get into the nature of what she leaked).

    She knew what she was doing was against the law.

    There is nothing noble about doing something that you promised not to do when you accepted the job.

    Ah, YEAH it is noble. She OBVIOUSLY was motivated to leak a rather DEVASTATING report simply to "hurt" trump. The thought of alerting "THE PEOPLE" to exactly WTF was going on never came up in her decision making process.

    There's no patriotic or moral exception for the disclosure of classified information, it would be too subjective for a judge to determine whether the leaker was reasonably motivated by morality or patriotism.

    In this case we have a deluded lefty who has bought the excited liberal message that Trump is such a calamity the nation and the whole world is in grave danger unless he is removed. This fool said she wanted to burn down the White House! I think the insanity defence might help her.

    We don't know what her motivation was.It could have been financial, or narcissistic, or some social pressure from a boyfriend or whatever.

    Its a mistake to assume.

    Trump isn't a calamity? So which Trump have I been watching slowly imploding for the past few months?

    How does this hurt Trump? Obama was the only one making claims that he had stopped the Russian meddling into our election by telling Putin to "cut it out". Only thing this leak does is show that Obama was a liar.

    There is a difference between a whistle-blower and a leaker. Leakers typically have partisan political, or personal vendetta motives. Whistle-blowers call attention to wholesale wrongdoing. Snowden was a whistle-blower. Winner is a leaker.

    You can't be serious? But I suppose you are.

    First Obama didn't make claims about stopping the russians by telling them to cut it out. He instituted further sanctions. He had all agencies DOCUMENT and CATALOGUE all evidence collected so far. He took seized russian property in america.

    the only thing your reaction shows is that you are so wound up in hating Obama, you ignore actual reality.

    But I guess that is what partisanism is all about. I think its worse than racism in its entrenched, unassailable by fact/truth perspective. Seems the ONLY reaction you and yours have is to blame Obama. You whined your arses off about Obama blaming bush, and now you do the same thing. Its bad when the other side does it and "partisan justice" why your side does it.

    Churlish knee jerk emotionally driven reactions and to hell with hypocrisy.

    I agree. I was merely responding to another "definitive" reason expressed.

    What is really bizarre about this situation is that the information she leaked was already partially known and out in the public domain.

    Are you a liar for Obama or just woefully uninformed regarding matters you hold such strong opinions?

    http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/12/16/obama-putin-cut-it-out-russia-hack-sot.cnn

    He lied when he said "we did not see further tampering".

    Revealing that you chose to not answer the question of my post you chose to respond to.

    She should probably get started on her sex change process to gain more support from the left.

    She now has BOTH the Clinton defense and Comey defense to play.

    1. Clinton defense: It can not be proven that her motive was to commit a crime, even if she had done so.

    2. Comey defense: She leaked the information for the purpose of trying to cause appointment of a prosecutor.

    Sorry if I believe that you are the liar about Obama, but hey knee jerk is so satisfying for die hard partisans.

    Lock her up for the maximum amount of time, we need to set a precedent as I stated before.

    I don't care what her political opinions are
    How in the word can courts agree to that yet at the same time use words from Trump on the campaign trail for the travel ban?

    Not that I am necessarily for the travel ban pro's n con's IMO, but those two things right there are insanely hypocritical.

    In her case I think the max is 10 years

    Hopefully she will serve every day of it.

    And 10 years in the slammer for comey too

    That would be I, CNN and their video tape of Obama saying exactly what you here so vehemently deny, that you believe are a liar. Your views are based upon your own personal delusions.
