Charles Krauthammer: Comey Laid Out the Case for Clinton Committing Negligence
Fox News ^ | 7/5/2016 | Max Gillan

Posted on 07/06/2016 2:33:23 PM PDT by GilGil

Charles Krauthammer said the conclusion to draw from FBI Director James Comey's press statement on Hillary Clinton's emails was that the former secretary of state is a "non-criminal liar."

He said that Clinton's "lying is obvious when you compare her statements with what Comey said."

Krauthammer also said Comey's logic was "puzzling" and "completely wrong" in making "malicious intent" the standard by which to determine if Clinton committed a crime, instead of "gross negligence."

"Negligence does not require intent. That's the whole point of having it in the statute," he said.

Krauthammer said Comey "spent 14 minutes laying out a case for negligence and then he says you can't prosecute."

He said that Comey's recommendation means Clinton's campaign won't implode, but he predicted that the director's remarks contradicting past Clinton statements will be played in Republican ads.

This video is a little over 1 minute but a great crystal clear summary of what Comey's report means and what Trump will do with it. Really good!

I think she’s going down to Chinatown. I don’t think she’ll make it to the general election.

BTW, what’s with Krauthammer’s chest? It looks like he has some kind of iron lung under his suit and he always seems to have to heave heavily to breathe. What’s he got?

A lot of people don’t necessarily understand how negligence works, how it does not require intent, and how this statute only requires gross negligence, not intent. He made a good, concise explanation.

Uh, Charlie, I didn't need to hear a damned thing from Comey to know Hillary was lying.

Comey needs to resign. He is basically saying that he will not protect our country’s national security or protect us from domestic or foreign terrorists. He has failed his job dutes big time and lost his ability to exercise sound judgment.

Oh, he is. He basically said so last week. He said he prefers a cynic over...Trump.

I loathe that man. And I doubt Rush will be naming his first born after him any time soon!

The story I heard was that when he was young, in his 20s, he dived head first into shallow water in a concrete swimming pool. He was paralyzed.

He is in a wheelchair. He had a spinal injury due to an auto accident when he was a medical student.

I think I read that when he was much younger he had a diving accident.

Ascribe not to malice, that which can adequately be explained by incompetence. (quote by Napoleon) IMO pretty well explains Hillary.

That is correct. When Kraut was in medical school he dove into a pool and hit his head on the bottom. He is truly, truly an amazing man for overcoming his handicap.

What it boils down to is Hillary / The serial rapist threatened to take down the whole DC Cabal if she was indicted for the email servers as they all knew about it. Hillary pulled that card a while back with a public Statement that “everybody knew” State and the White House zero doubt looked the other way. Much of Congress as well. Judge Jeannie made that point last week.

Comey wanted no part of all those Domino's falling, Constitutional crises and all that blah blah.... What needs to happen when Comey is grilled before Congress....first question. Were emails between President Obama and Canckles found during your investigation? If he claims no, then ask how many emails that Hillary claimed she destroyed as they were about wedding dresses were not recovered? And final question, do you Director Comey find it believable that over a four year period that the President and Secretary of State would never have exchanged email?
