FBI just told us we’d be in bad hands with Hillary
The New York Post ^ | July 5, 2016 | John Podhoretz

FBI Director James Comey stood before the nation and issued a list of Hillary Clinton’s astounding wrongdoings Tuesday as regards America’s national security — and then said he was not recommending prosecution because, in essence, what Mrs. Clinton did was “extremely careless” but not criminal.

As he spoke, I recalled F. Scott Fitzgerald’s peerless description in “The Great Gatsby” of a feckless wealthy couple: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into . . . their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Fitzgerald’s Tom and Daisy are pikers compared to Bill and Hillary. If one wishes to accept Comey’s contention that Mrs. Clinton is a careless but not criminal person, and one then considers her carelessness as a continuum with her husband’s careless conduct during his time in the Oval Office, then the Clintons have earned the dubious distinction of being the most outrageously careless couple this nation has ever known....

He did nothing of the sort. He acted, behaved and spoke like the coward that he is. A man of honor would have seen the gross dereliction of duty defined by extreme careless less (at the minimum) and applied that to a standard of what would he do with the average American citizen.

Despite all the legally empty condemnation he lay upon here, the upshot was a NO-INDICT clean bill of health.

The man is perhaps the biggest traitor to this country we have seen since John Roberts on Obamacare, or the Rosenbergs of atomic espionage fame.

There is no redemption or remorse from this man. He is evil, IMO.

A free phone, EBT card, section 8 digs, and some free health-care, and 75% of the electorate couldn’t care less who’s hands we’re in.

Reckless, careless, incompetent, etc., These are disguises the Clintons hide behind. I don't think they are none of those. The media discounts their outrageous lying and corruption with these false labels.

And we the people are toothless.

“The Great Gatsby” a feckless wealthy couple: “...careless people, Tom and Daisy.

>Neither this feckless couple mentioned here, nor Bonnie and Clyde, can hold a candle to Bill and Hillary.

I was thinking of that exact quote from Gatsby this morning, but in realtion to a personal
friend of mine, a bundler for Obama, who just reacts to the email stuff with a shrug,
saying the only think that would make him vote for Hillary is Trump. Like the narrator
says regarding the folks of East & West Egg, they just retreat into their wealth, their insulation.

Hitlery made a big deal out of the $7 million cost of the Benghazi investigation but I wonder how much this FBI investigation has run up due to her careless and reckless actions as well as her blatantly false testimony? Something tells me it’s a WHOLE lot more than that. Wouldn’t it be nice if they made HER pay the costs in lieu of indictment and prosecution???

There is as well, a small matter pending with regard to a missing 6 billion dollars from the US State Dept. budget under the careful or careless watch of Mrs Clinton

Is anyone currently investigating this or has there been one already? Funny how the libs fuss and fret over “costs” of Republican initiated investigations and hearings but act oblivious to the REAL taxpayer money they waste, steal and hand off. I’m sick of it!

The Clintons are to government what Bonnie and Clyde were to the banking industry.

Honor transcends fear for one’s life. There have been multiple instances of Americans who have put the overall welfare of the country America over their own lives. They do it every day. Direktor Comey did not.

I think he destroyed Clinton’s campaign personally. He just handed Donald trump all the ammunition he needs to win this fight. I think this will be the turning point.

God is now crushing the US.

If the Bible is accurate the US gets buried.

That’s a lot easier to say when you’re in someone else’s country. When it’s your country threatening your family, not exactly the same.

Only when people have nothing to lose, is when they lose it. We aren’t there yet.

Yet.

No one is investigating the six billion Hillary ‘lost,’ at the State Dept. The entire Uniparty is on the take. They are all enriching themselves in a similar manner as Hillary; therefore the eerie, deafening silence re the ‘missing’ six billion.
