from the how-many-jobs-do-we-need-to-lose dept.

I came across the following ad on Indeed.com for a software position (copied directly from the ad, including errors):

Is it legal to limit a search to only H1B applicants? Do people see this often? Is it reasonable to expect a US applicant would be difficult to find? Or is it just no one would expect a US applicant to work for the mentioned salary in the Metro Boston area?

    Uh-huh. You are technically correct - and Hillary Clinton is technically in violation of laws that would put most people in prison for years. Let's just see how things play out, alright? No one is going to be fined, or spend any time in jail, for refusing to hire an American citizen. That has already been decided by the superjudicial cliques.

    Yeah, I have no idea where the Clinton thing is going. She may well get a slap on the wrist.

      Notice how once his persecution fantasy was proven false, he threw in that red herring about Clinton and then you swallowed it hook, line and sinker?

      Runaway is a whiny little bitch who makes up lies in order to justify his bigotry and people are forever giving him the benefit of the doubt.

        Yeah, it's a red herring. Perfectly true.

        "Ha! You claim to to care about the justice system and it's rules, but what about [politicized scandal]?" is always going to be vacuous. I was just trying to get the discussion back on course by not caring. I kinda failed.

    Hillary Clinton is in violation of laws? That has yet to be proven. Seems like you're deflecting from the fact that you are very wrong by using a highly politically charged statement, commonly used by followers of Breitbart, The Drudge Report, and Fox News. Making up a controversy to deflect from bullshit is a skill you've honed well my friend.

      She's either in violation of laws or completely and utterly incompetent. Either way, that worthless corporatist fool should get out of the way of Bernie Sanders so the Democrat party can finally put forth a candidate that's at least slightly decent.

        Great comment, but one thing I'd add, is that it seems you hear all over that Clinton didn't violate any laws. That seems awfully presumptuous -- Are they really saying that intercepting official communications is not covered by that vast Federal code? I'm sure that buried in it somewhere is a rule making it illegal to intercept the physical mail destined for a public office, hoarding it at home, then destroying it later. I would be shocked if intercepting digital communications destined for that public office, hoarding them at home, and then destroying them later was not also illegal.

        Just take a look at, in particular paragraph b, of the following statute. It was one of the things Ollie North was originally convicted on.
        https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2071 [cornell.edu]

        18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally

        (a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

        (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

        All that said, in today's age, it's hard to imagine that a wall-street-loving-neocon-warmonger of the untouchable class like HRC, would ever face any consequences for any kind for any illegal act short of eating babies, and even then, it would probably just be community service.

          So again, she hasn't been proven to have violated laws. The impetus is on the sender not the receiver. As far as has been reported the emails that contained classified material were not marked properly, which would clear former Sec. Clinton of wrongdoing. Having a home server was not illegal until after her term and was a rule specifically created as a "gotcha" against Mrs. Clinton. If on the other hand they find that she did do something wrong, fine. As far as has been reported she's followed the legal advice she's been given and complied with the letter of the law. Just because she's guilty in the court of conservative American public opinion, doesn't mean that holds true in actual law. It's the same reason Pres. Reagan wasn't put in jail for treason, Pres G.W. Bush and VP Cheney aren't in jail for war crimes(which they admit to), and former Pres. Clinton isn't in jail for perjury(which..I mean..c'mon).

            1: having a home server is beside the point.
            2: I'm not convinced that was legal -- HRC was the only one of those DC scum who used private email, to actually use a private server. All the others used a third party server.

            Mostly though, respond to this:

            Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same

            HRC had custody,
            of an "other thing",
            she willfully (meaning intentionally),
            obliterated (deleted contents of) her server,

            That's a fucking crime dickhead.

              > willfully and unlawfully

              Her argument is that everything she did, she did lawfully. All the other words in those statutes don't matter, the question is whether she could do them lawfully or not. She's stated that as head of the department of state it was within her authority to determine what records could be lawfully destroyed.

              Whether you agree with her interpretation or not, the question of lawfulness is the key and it isn't addressed in the statutes you've quoted.

                So what you are saying is that destruction of documents sent to the SOS is legal.

                How much you want to be that if some unknown started deleting official documents he had access to, he'd get prison time?
