We're Gonna Need a Bigger Stray Voltage: Hillary Clinton Now Being Investigated Under the Espionage Act

This strikes me as, um, problematic, as all the kids say.

An FBI "A-team" is leading the "extremely serious" investigation into Hillary Clinton's server and the focus includes a provision of the law pertaining to "gathering, transmitting or losing defense information," an intelligence source told Fox News.

The section of the Espionage Act is known as 18 US Code 793.

A separate source, who also was not authorized to speak on the record, said the FBI will further determine whether Clinton should have known, based on the quality and detail of the material, that emails passing through her server contained classified information regardless of the markings.

Now you might think that sounds bad for Grandmonster Hillary.

Nah, don't sweat it, says as progressive cretin David Ignatius at the Washington Post, a totally unbiased paper, swearsies.

The Hillary Clinton e-mail 'scandal' that isn't

Splendid! It's not a sneer without sneer quotes.

By David Ignatius Opinion writer August 27 at 8:37 PM

Does Hillary Clinton have a serious legal problem because she may have transmitted classified information on her private e-mail server? After talking with a half-dozen knowledgeable lawyers, I think this "scandal" is overstated. Using the server was a self-inflicted wound by Clinton, but it's not something a prosecutor would take to court.

David Petraus disagrees.

"It's common" that people end up using unclassified systems to transmit classified information, said Jeffrey Smith, a former CIA general counsel who’s now a partner at Arnold & Porter, where he often represents defendants suspected of misusing classified information.

Ah, the guy who defends people who mishandle classified information says it's no biggie.

You can read the rest if you enjoy bad writing which is dumb and partisan.

You may wonder, doesn't this deserve a flaming skull?

No. For some news, we note its import by an even more urgent signal than the flaming skull.

Some news is so enormous as to beg -- nay, demand -- a Realness Update:
