I believe this is a blessing in disguise.

No one would like to see her go to prison more than me, but that's not my highest priority.

My highest priority is to see the Democrat presidential candidate lose in November.

I think we're much more likely to see that with a weakened Hillary on the ticket rather than an indignant Joe Biden.

With corruption so blatantly evident at all levels of our government (there just went the FBI, like the DOJ under Holder, the VA, the IRS, the EPA, the FED, Homeland Security/TSA, Fannie/Freddie, State Dept. etc. etc. ad nauseum ad infinitum), ... how can you trust the .gov on any ballot count or electoral college in November?

I'm still having trouble reconciling Comey's statements with his recommendation.

I just went through the official transcript with three different colored highlighters. In green, I highlighted the following statement of the law: "federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities."

That's followed by a sea of yellow - in which I highlighted the evidence, as he presented it, of violations of those laws.

Then in pink (for Communism): "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. [...] we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. [...] we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case."

In my professional opinion as an attorney and an officer of several courts, including federal, James Comey is full of shit.

This is what gets me. Why did he make such a compelling case and then contradict himself?

Full of shit he may be, but the FBI is not recommending any sanctions on any one involved.

Any sanction. Not even a security clearance suspension.

For any one of the dozens involved.

That's truly remarkable.

This is how the media ran cover today.

CNN and MSNBC did NOT mention or air the FBI news conference. Then after it was over the headline and soundbot was NO CHARGES.

They didn't? I just watched it live on CNN 51 minutes ago.

Not on the .com. Sorry we cut the cable so streaming over here. No, CNN was headlining Rio Olympics. Not even a news alert.

Now you can see why the FBI never stopped the Boston Bombers, Major Nidal Hasan, the San bernadino shooters, or the Orlando shooter. Just not enough evidence to take any action.

I know of people who have simply emailed ITAR data who have been prosecuted for far less than this. But as I expected, POSHitlary will skate.

To illustrate that they have "photos" (read: leverage) ... or whatever they got on Chief Justice Roberts, they also have on Comey.

We, the jury, find Orenthal Hillary Clintson, not guilty....

It's code for "I want to see the sunrise."

Too little, too late.

WikiLeaks publishes over 1,000 Clinton Iraq War emails

He pulled a Roberts

I see little surprise with the outcome.

This is about ABSOLUTE POWER. They have it, we don't. They enjoy all the protections and privileges we'll never come close to having on our side. Short of carving a demonic symbol in their forehead, setting babies on fire and throwing them from roof-tops, don't expect to see those at the very top to ever see the inside of a jail cell or be convicted of anything.

Why? Because when it comes down to it...really, truly comes down to it...what are you going to do? You'll scream up and down on the internet and you might go down to the polling station vote. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more. There will be no uprisings or any such thing. Those types of activities are illegal against them, and you'll go to jail, loose your job and everything else while they continue to enjoy summers in the Hamptons. And they won't loose a wink of sleep about it.

The best we can hope for is that Trump hangs on to this like a pit bull with a rope toy, and hammers it home, over and over, and over again. This is a window of opportunity for him, if he has the guts to pursue it...the flip side is pursing this a HUGE gamble for Trump (and anyone who wants to ride that bus)...if he looses, the consequences/retaliation may well be severe.

Regardless, in 12 quick months (much sooner for some), this will be, in most peoples eyes like Benghazi...old news.

That's the way the world works folks...its not fair and not a level playing field.

Oh, please do tell us more about how the world works, since you are so wise about such things and we are so very naive.

I hope that fucking whore has a stroke and dies. I further hope Comey reflects on his failure for the rest of his days and goes to his grave suffering from the crushing guilt of violating his oath to uphold the Constitution.

A dark day for law abiding Americans.

I know. Just grasping for something.

What I truly feel cannot be said here.

I said from the first that she is not touchable. I admit that I did have some small glimmer of hope that Director Comey would do the right thing.....

TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Get out & vote for Mr. Trump! Now, more then ever he needs your vote. Do not give up & sit this election out. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
