That's a shocker
WaPo reports scant evidence of clinton guilt? Really? I never saw that story coming.
Meanwhile in the reality based community. There is enough evidence in the public record to establish a
pima facie case of guilt. Understanding that in a "state of mind case" the evidence will always be mostly circumstantial, consider these circumstances:
1. Clinton knowingly and deliberately set up a private e-mail server away from the work site.
2. Clinton knowingly and deliberately had personal control over the server to the exclusion of any government official.
3. Clinton knowingly and deliberately directed 100% of her official and government e-mail to be routed to and stored on the private non-governmental server.
4. Clinton knowingly and deliberately used the private server to initiate 100% her official e-mail communications.
5. Clinton made no effort to separate classified information from non-classified information.
6. Clinton had been personally instructed in how to handle and protect classified electronic communications. Clinton knowingly and deliberately ignored these instructions.
7. Clinton must be held to the knowledge that some of her e-mails sent and received must have contained classified material; she knowingly and deliberately omitted to have a protocol to protect those.
8. Classified material was in fact on Clinton's private server.
These are pretty much acknowledged and established facts. I think these facts are sufficient to sustain a jury verdict that she knowingly mishandled classified information. To rebut this, the burden would be shifted to her that she had no intent to do what she did.
One way to rebut the presumption created by these facts would be to establish a level of ignorance that Clinton was essentially clueless about these matters. That isn't too far fetched. She demonstrated cluelessness in several instances during the Benghazi! hearings. She has demonstrated cluelessness at times on the campaign trail. The question then becomes does this level of cluelessness belong in the Oval Office?
