Clinton didn't commit a crime because she received the information. She wasn't the one to remove it from where it was supposed to be.

Sure she did. Her closet server by definition removed it from a secure SCIF. IIRC she was also scrubbing classification marks, meaning she knew what she was looking at the entire time (proving her intent).

Regardless, it doesn't matter whether you agree with my position on that law or not - under your interpretation of the law, it would be a crime not just for Waltz and Hegseth to send classified or national security information on Signal, but for Rubio and Wiles and everyone else to receive it.

Except evidently there was no classified information. At any rate no reasonable prosecutor is going to charge any of those folks because Waltz screwed up and added the reporter.

It will be interesting to see if the Administration reveals the contents of the chat - or if the President and/or DoD confirms that the information is not classified.

The Senate can huff and puff all they want. Given that the subject matter is foreign policy and military affairs...it's quite clearly and Constitutionally under the Executive Branch's purview.
