I wish Comey the Sh*t had explained perfectly to us exactly how much negligence is ok.

If you're stopped for doing 80 mph in a 50 MPH speed Zone try pleading you didn't know you were going that fast, and you didn't intentionally want to break the law, and see how far you get. -Tom

Just what I figured. Just another frightened W H O R E worried about his pension.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

I find this to be the most damaging thing in his whole speech.

This is a message to the people that they must still obey the law, even if they themselves do not. It just smacks of Orwellian double-speak.

Didn’t Clinton effectively alter and clandestinely augment the structure of the State Dept’s already-in-place and otherwise secure computer network system in the first place?

No, she didn't. People simply got in the habit of sending email to Clinton on her own server. If they didn't, her staff would forward it to her.

There was no overt connection from Clinton's server to the State Dept. insecure systems. And, there's also no direct connections between secure and unsecure systems -- everything transiting between them goes through a review process that can take at least 24 hours.

-- Pretty damning conclusion, even if no charges ... Do they really want to vote for a candidate who is "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."? --

Damning or not depends on whether one uses an objective point of view, or a political point of view. No DEM is going to change their vote based on this statement. Not a single one. Comey is going to villified from both sides.

And for those who handle classified material, this wrapup has zero precedential value. Prosecutors have no duty to be consistent. Anybody else (besides our elected and appointend royalty) who did this would be prosecuted.

Seems like whatever system the SoS uses, it’s still part of the Dept. of State’s overall system.

“NO INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT ACTS FOUND ON THE PART OF HILLARY CLINTON“

The act of Treason does not require INTENR

Comey will be DEAD in two weeks.

He did not explain how the "SAP T/S" matter was
(sneaker-netted) removed from the SAP network
and put on HRCs server.

Btadley (Chelsea) Manning is doing 15 years in Leavenworth for the same thing....

-- KT McFarland on fox now saying that Comey did not address the investigation into the Clinton foundation --

Comey mentioned, but did not flesh out "knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities." The level of culpability there is not "[criminal] intent" or "gross negligence," but just "knowingly." Why does she get a pass on that? Not explained in the statement.

Comey said there was no evidence Hillary’s server(s) was/were hacked.

Guccifer just pled GUILTY to HACKING HILLARY’S SERVER.

My take on it is that he would have loved to recommend prosecution but knew that considering Lynch would have to do it he knew it would go nowhere with Lynch and Obama.

The speech he gave afterwards let the public know that she is guilty even if not formally charged. My take is that he showed that she is not qualified and too stupid to be President if she is too stupid and careless to protect classified information.

FBI JAMES COMEY JUST STATED:

“NO REASONABLE PROSECUTOR WOULD TAKE SUCH A CASE.”

“NO INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT ACTS FOUND ON THE PART OF HILLARY CLINTON”


I had some hope he was a decent man. Too bad he’s a pile of crap schmuck like most in Mordor on the Potomac.

He might as well have stood up there and said....yes, she’s guilty. Here are all the ways she’s guilty....but we are not going to recommend indictment because...well, she’s Hillary Clinton.

If we have any military person in jail for mishandling classified, secret or for eyes only, should be released, given all their back pay and reinstatement of rank.

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton's personal e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence.

In other words it could have been hacked

“110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received”

Gee, sounds serious.

“The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received”

Umm...criminal in many different ways.

“It is also likely that there are other work-related e-mails that they did not produce to State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all e-mails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.”

Boy, maybe that’s why its illegal to horde government records (Federal Records Act). Similarly, we have no idea what Sandy Berger may have stuffed in his socks...its gone forever.

“There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation.”

Golly, sounds like she should be president.

“In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail.”

I guess HRC mis-remembered.

“But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.”

I hope she does a better job with the nuke codes.

“We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent.”

Reason numero uno they aren’t indicting.

“To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.”

IE Peasants would still get prosecuted for this.

“But that is not what we are deciding now.”

Of course, HRC gets special treatment.

“No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.”

Snakes on a plane.

“I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this organization”

Must be talking about team Barry...certainly not the FBI.

"There can be no revolt (per the expectations of the founders concerning tyrannical government) without support and sponsorship of the individual state legislatures. " I'm revolting right now. Snowden revolted. The protesters at Malheur revolted. The constitution lays out the ways to revolt, but no one is doing it so many of us (Millions, I speculate) are taking matters into our own hands. Give em hell, with or without an official plan. And if the FBI DO leave, they'll regroup. And they'll know exactly what the new weaknesses are, and how to strike.
