How do you interpret that statement?

I interpret it as: Under similar circumstances, we would consider administrative or security sanctions for a person who committed similar wrongdoing, but we will not do that in this case.

The Daily Caller is making the bold claim today of a scoop that China hacked into Hillary's email server early into her term and placed a backdoor embedded code that forwarded nearly every email in real time to a Chinese government intelligence collection source. Their report claims it might have been originally a phishing attack that got the foot in the door, and once embedded the code ran for Hillary's entire term, spying on all her communications.



first thing that sticks out to me is 'anonymous sources', and I wouldn't put it past the daily caller to echo the fake news scoops of the MSM networks over the past couple years
But they must really believe this story to stick their name to it, and it wouldn't surprise anyone, and fits with what we've heard. And they've gotten their share of real scoops before.

So China hacked into Hillary's email server at Trump's command. Makes perfect sense, as every action Trump has taken with China has weakened the United States and strengthened China. Lock him up.

That is actually correct.

So Clinton was no longer part of government and could not be given administrative discipline or security sanctions.

So it's moot.

Why did you want to keep pushing the narrative knowing what the quote meant?

Clinton still had security clearance at the time of Comey's announcement. In fact, the Republican Senators unsuccessfully tried to pass a bill to revoke the security clearance of Clinton and some her top aides at the State Department.

If Clinton had her security clearance revoked or faced other administrative sanctions, it would have dealt a significant blow to her credibility and she wouldn't have been able to take part in the standard presidential candidate security briefings.

Now, I don't know whether it was fair or not to do so, but the fact that Comey said people who committed similar acts in a similar circumstance often would face those punishments and then chose not to definitely makes me scratch my head.

So you are in favor of politically motivated acts taken by government to sabotage political campaigns... when it hurts your enemies.
