Personally , I think they got off too easy. What they did was against the law so I think there should have been some jail time also along withbeing FIRED from their jobs.

Out of gratitude for her innovative service to his campaign, Obama will probably appoint her as an Ambassador somewhere.

archer2, Jail time for people that most likely have never been in trouble with the law before? Non violent crime, not very likely.

I know not very likely , but they should have . What they did went way beyond misdemeanor.

She used her power to invade a person"™s privacy and leaked personal info. A nice fine and a record would have been nice for her breach of confidentiality of records. And since Joe was not a public official, isn"™t there a possible slander and/or malicecivil suit? Im no lawyer, so there is probably no laws broke. Just an idea on my part.

Yep, happens all the time. Remember it! Your living in a dream world if you think otherwise. In other words WISE UP or suffer the same fate as millions no billions of people who refuse to read history have.

ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN BETTER? But noooo we have to have are digital tv.

If the country today decided to turn off the tv and read a history book the world would explode. All of the con artist would be exposed on site. I mean on site. The country would do such an about face, time itself would stand still. All for the lack of illumination. The Joe's of the world would not only be free to voice their opinions but held up as hero's, celebrities, champions!

If people read history this woman wouldn't even exist!!! As it is only the corupt read it and they use it, oh how they use it!
