There are multiple servers in question…Hillary's servers were scrubbed, yes…but there is the DNC server in question…and also, of course, Weiner's laptop.
It becomes a national security issue IF a foreign government tried to hack into it for the purposes of influencing an election…BUT, that's not what happened, as we know.
Imagine if a foreign government infiltrated a news network in order to disseminate propaganda thereby influencing an election….that's the thinking.
One could meddle in an election by utilizing any number of private sector channels. In fact, one could affect national security in any number of ways using private corporations…national security doesn't just mean the protection of government property, it means ensuring that no property can be used in a way that poses a threat.
That's the best I can explain it…but again, that's NOT what happened with the server with respect to a "hack" (because the server wasn't hacked). However, it might be possible that the server contains communications which describe a plot to overthrow an election…now that would be a national security issue, because it would be treason.
Okay, here we GO!!
Richard Maddow is now beginning to explore the nuts and bolts of legal consequences of Trump's Russia "loyalties." Impeachment of Trump…could this be it….? How incredible would it be to have all the info about the Russia hoax, assassination, tarmac, etc…drop during Trump's impeachment?!
National television. All eyes on the screen. Trump's defense is presented….! Possible?
My gut tells me it would drag out beyond the midterm election, though. But, interesting….
