Well they are.

But yeah, for an Obama supporter to yammer about spending is kinda dumb.

To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now'".

If they don't directly ask him to explain this then I think the whole hearing is a farce.
He explained the Petraeus comparison.

I think they'll get there.

I'm watching the hearing right now, and the consistent answer Dir. Comey keeps giving is Hillary wasn't charged because she had no criminal intent. How come that one has never worked for me? "But Officer, I didn't know the speed limit was 50."

Someone brought that up and it's asked and answered.

The Director is not an idiot.

Try as you might this hearing is not going to go your way. There's nothing remotely improper about the investigation nor its outcome.

Hopefully you'll all have the good sense to stop wasting the general public's time and money and accept Dir Comey's recommendation.

As much as I can accept his recommendation from a LEGAL perspective, he was also VERY clear that as he said in his own words, people "are often subject to security or administrative sanctions" which can range anywhere from just being spoken to, all the way to termination of employment.

So somewhere between "just being spoken to" and outright termination of employment, how should Hillary be punished for her failing to live up to the rules and expectations that were part of her previous role as well as the role that she is actively pursuing?

Since she's no longer employed by the government, there are no administrative sanctions that can happen.

I think this public raking over the coals is sufficient.

Great, so if/when she is "rehired" what are the penalties, or should she even be eligible to be "rehired" by the federal or even state government.

Any employer would consider previous actions as an employee if they were going to re-hire someone.

You can't compare apples and kumquats under the law. (In response to sparticus).

If you think the law should be changed then that's the route to take.
