So the FBI says Hillary Clinton lied, and did send "Top Secret emails", but they will not be pursuing charges. During a hearing today the head of the FBI said that Hillary and her colleagues may not have known that it was against the law, therefore no prosecutor would pursue it.
Let's put this in context shall we. If I was driving 100 MPH down an interstate, I would know that it was illegal and that I was breaking the law because no speed limit in the USA is 100 mph. However if I was driving 35 on a city street and did not see the sign that said the limit changed to 30 in a busy section, and got pulled over for speeding could I claim ignorance. I could, but would it help? No it would not because ignorance is not an excuse.
If I posted on Facebook that my boss was a crook, and I had no proof, could he sue me for slander and hurting his business, he could. If it wen to trial and he had proof that he was not a crook, could I claim ignorance to save myself? No.
There are a million examples we could go through, to prove the point. The fact still stands however that the laws do not apply to all equally, as unfortunate as that is.
Here in Texas a teenager drove drunk, wrecked, killed a family. He claimed that because he was rich he had a mental disorder that made him feel as though the law did not apply to him. He got probation. You or I would have went to prison for a nice long while.
The point is that she is a proven liar, and yet there will be no consequences. It is a sad thing, to know that she may be the next President.
