Time to man up, everybody. We all knew this was coming. Still, the statement of the FBI director is loaded with gold. I’ve gone through it and highlighted specific findings. Basically, he’s saying yes, there is evidence of crime but we are giving her a pass. The facts laid out are damning, regardless of the FBI’s feckless and gutless decision to pull back. The findings are important and MUST NOT be ignored, and must be used to hammer her every single day. Here is just ONE finding:
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
Here’s another:
“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. 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 (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails). None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.”
There are about ten others, including multiple servers, obvious attempts to make recovery impossible, lies about how many work emails were turned over and that only personal emails were deleted, probable comprise of the system by our enemies, etc. etc.
Let’s make use of what we have.
I agree with that. But just keep in mind that for elected and appointed royalty, the issue is political, not legal.
Our elected and appointed elites are above the law. Comey's statement is an effort to deny that reality, but arguing that point is not where the fruit lies.
