Not
a fan of her, but it's not that at all... just that you questioned why I
thought that the handing over of the servers to the FBI should have
been more than good enough, from Hillary's side.... which quite frankly,
I believe is very naive on your part...especially because she also
didn't do it willingly or voluntarily.
You originally said My
remark is directly attributed to the fact that the FBI did not raid
any of Hillary's residences, despite all the clear evidence regarding
the emails.....
What clear evidence. From my understanding there was around 60,000 e-mails on Hilary Clinton's e-mail sever. Her lawyers went through it and determined about half where worked related and turned over to the relevant authorities and the other half where determined by her lawyers to be personal and deleted. It later turned out that some of the e-mails that where supposed to be personal and deleted where recovered and turned out to be work related but the investigation could find no evidence that the the e-mails where deleted on purpose to hide the fact they where work e-mails. After all its common for people to do house keeping on e-mails and delete old unneeded e-mails.
So I'm yet to see why the FBI needed to search any of Clinton's residencies. Those e-mails where recovered from the server they already had. Was there any evidence that Hilary was hiding additional e-mails on another device somewhere in her residency? Even if their was evidence to indicate additional e-mails, they may not have been stored on a device in the Clinton residency.
Now take the current search off Trumps residency. We are not privy to the full facts yet. But a report I've seen on the Guardian today suggests that among the documents Trump held on to where classified nuclear weapons documents. This was possibly what justified the search.
And if you think its naive, people who still say Trump colluded with Russian despite the finding of the Muller report could easily say the Muller Report found extension links between Trump's side and Russia and its naive to think there wasn't collusion. But just like you assertion I'm naive, that's coming from your political viewpoint not an evidence based one.
I
never said the FBI covered up for her, I said that given her behaviour
at the time and the constant dishonest conduct regarding those emails
with the FBI, it certainly warranted a search warrant, and nothing even
remotely close happened like that....it was left to slide...
You have provided nothing to indicate a search warrant was warranted.
How did she not lie...?
You cannot escape the fact that she did in fact lie to the FBI, multiple times.....firstly that she had handed over all the emails to the FBI.... which was totally incorrect... and she was incorrect by the thousands.....
She
then lied that there were never any classified emails sent on these
servers, which was then proven that Top Secret emails were in fact sent
recklessly, which could have put the national security of the USA at
risk.... more than 200 emails were retroactively classified.
There is a difference between lying and being incorrect. One is intentional the other not necessarily so.
I suggest using the below link as a refresher on the Clinton e-mail's story.

You
are also aware that Clinton's own lawyers deleted about 30 000 emails
before handing over all the evidence to the FBI.... why would that be
normal, or even permitted.....
Because hers lawyers determined those e-mails to be private. What business does the FBI or state department have having access to her private e-mails? Are you not entitled to delete your personal e-mail.
After Hillary steadfastly refused to provide her servers
Simply politics. The pressure to release was coming from Republicans who where making political capital out of it.
4 emails were determined to be classified and are still listed as classified till this day... another lie....
Where they marked as classified at the time?
You
must also know that Hillary's IT specialist at the time, who set up her
servers, also refused every single question related to these servers,
and pleaded the 5th amendment to every single question posed to him....
in fact he did it more than 125 times....
Maybe he was hiding something, or maybe it was political gamesmanship that he was called to testify. You going be as critical of Trump for taking the 5th the other day?
"None of the e-mails she sent/received to her private e-mail server where marked as classified at the time"
You are incorrect here...some were classified..... others even "Top Secret"
Well being a bit pedantic here, there was classified information in some of the e-mails, paragraphs marked as classified (a C beside them indicated that) but none of the e-mail headers where marked as classified and often the classified text was well down in the body of the e-mail, sometimes in long e-mail chains. Its possible Clinton assumed there was no classified information within the e-mails when the e-mail header didn't flag it as such, didn't see the C mark beside the paragraphs, or didn't know what the C meant.
Sure,
you can argue that none of this was done deliberately......she simply
just forgot about all these things...and didn't lie.....and if you
really believe that those are the actions of a honest individual, go
ahead.... but it most definitely warranty a search of some sort, especially given the ramifications towards the USA as a nation.....
Nothing you have said warranted a search. Your political views are biasing you.
