Everything he does is just making us more isolated from the world.

That is why tariffs make sense. If you were preparing the US for WW3 then you would do exactly what Trump is doing.

The law requires people to knowingly and willfully release confidential information.

Just using unsecured platforms for communications is not illegal (otherwise Hillary would have been prosecuted).

Why would an unfriendly journalist be in your (and everyone elsew) phone only as initials?

There is the outside possibility that the journalist was added on purpose

I saw arrogant and stupid.

I didn’t see knowing and willful.

Is approval of a communications platform legally required, or just best practice? You can guess what the Republicans will argue.

Hillary got off for not knowingly leaking documents, so will these guys.

Everyone involved should be in prison.

I’m not sure we could prove this was knowing and willful. The Russian recipient of the messages is the most suspicious angle of attack.

Nothing on Hillary Clinton’s server was classified at the time it was put on the server

From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.

Some items were subsequently reclassified to the lowest level above Unclassified.

Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

So there’s really no comparison between the two situations.

I agree. I just wanted to correct the record and to highlight that a normal government employee would have been fired for what Hillary did.

Even if there was a stock buyback,

This is just a different way to issue dividends.

Do you mean a management buyout?

But yes Tesla is cooked. The only way out is to remove the taint of Musk. Would mean the financial equivalent of Musk chopping 2 legs off. He doesn’t realise they are already full of gangrene.

Puts don’t get you into the class action lawsuit.

He’s an enabler, not necessarily a doer.

Trump is playing golf.

Best I can do is cartwheels and handstands

there ever been a wide-scale student protest movement that WASN’T unequivocally vindicated by history?

• National Socialist German Student League were literal Nazis

• The Red Guards were a Student-led paramilitary group.

• Japanese Students protested against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty (Anpo)

• Veganism?
