It's going to take a lot of effort to reconstruct the paths of all the 'presumed confidential' emails.

It isn't just HRC that faces potential legal problems. The FBI has many email accounts to discover and research. Anyone who sent Clinton presumed confidential information would have potentially have breached security. The use of 'reply to' is often done with exceedingly little thought and it's not hard to imagine such sloppiness could be quite problematic.

HRC is, herself, rather immunized due to celebrity and political significance, but there are others whose lives could possibly be destroyed.

The relevant statute with the operative word italicized DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2015 #3

That's Sec. 1924, a different section of the Act. See, Sec. 793, link below leveymg Aug 2015 #8

You are citing the Espionage Act and ignoring the Preamble... DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2015 #10

That section refers to different crimes as specified at subsections (a),(b) and (c) leveymg Aug 2015 #11
