    It's your post. They claim aided and abetted. I don't see that listed in the quoted law.

    Snowden, you mean the whitle blower Obama wanted to fry for telling the truth after he promised to "protect" whistleblowers ? And now Hilary who e-mailed state secrets from home is his "girl". The hypocrisy is so thick in Philly people are cutting chunks of it out of the air for keep sakes.
    And yes, they brought a person illegally in the country in to speak which along with what the OP says should planly be called aiding and abeting. Then they handed the nomination to a criminal they had cheated for to get her the nomination.
    "Party of the people" my ass.
