How has Hillary Clinton not been charged, indicted, or arrested for anything regarding the email scandal?
First, an actual crime has to be committed. For a crime to be committed, the someone has to commit an act that is specifically specifically spelled out in a criminal code (most states differentiate criminal or penal codes from other state laws) of either a state or the US Code for which a punishment is also spelled out. Some crimes also require intent in addition to the act itself. As an extreme example, “First Degree” Murder (states my use different terminology, say “Capital” Murder) is a crime of intent and a prosecutor must prove premeditation as a condition of conviction. At the lower end of the spectrum, if you run a red light, you can be cited and required to pay a fine. The fact that it was inadvertent and you had no intention to run the stop light is irrelevant—the mere fact you ran the light is sufficient for conviction.Now, absent being arrested while in the commission of a crime, there is the pesky thing called “probable cause”. It’s even spelled out in the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution and states the “… no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause…”In the context of warrants, the Oxford Companion to American Law defines probable cause as "…information sufficient to warrant a prudent person's belief that the wanted individual had committed a crime (for an arrest warrant) or that evidence of a crime or contraband would be found in a search (for a search warrant)".So, unless you can search the US Code and find a law—that was published an in effect at the time that Hillary used her private email address/server— that states an individual cannot use a private email address, system, or personal server when conducting government business with a criminal penalty attached (fine and/or prison) then no crime as been committed.In order for a prosecutor to charge and for a grand jury to indict, there must be probable cause that both a crime was in fact committed and the the person being charged committed the crime. Same standard applies for an arrest warrant issued before formal charges are filed and sent to a grand jury.
What do people in other countries think about Donald Trump?
CanadaWe’re concerned for our poor neighbours to the south, while simultaneously amazed at this unbelievable spectacle:UpdateI was astounded and dismayed, but not really surprised, when I read the Calgary Sun (a right-wing and very conservative news daily). They had published a poll taken of their readers to find out which presidential candidate people supported. The poll showed 48% support for Trump, 27% support for Hillary and 25% undecided.These sad numbers should not be surprising because this is an oil-producing province and Trump, a climate change denier, said that he would give his blessing to a huge pipeline project to send Alberta oil (most of it from our Athabasca “tar-sands”, a very polluting and expensive source) to the US Gulf Coast.A presidential endorsement of this “Keystone XL Pipeline” (Barack Obama already said, “No”) is something that Alberta oil barons would dearly love to see and so Trump is their man; environment and world peace be damned I suppose, as long as the oil companies keep making money. :^(Trump’s approval rating will be much lower and Hillary’s much higher in more liberal-minded parts of Canada, such as British Columbia and Ontario (maybe in Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia too). Saskatchewan and Manitoba, prairie-land in the middle of Canada, are a mystery to me.
