Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) demolished FBI director James Comey’s claim Thursday that the government lacked sufficient evidence of criminal intent to prosecute former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for mis-handling classified information.

Guiliani completely destroyed the intent lie on Hannity last night. He said nobody writes, I am going to conduct insider trading thips weekend. He said intent is proven by prosecutors showing the deceptive behavior of the perp after the fact to hide and destroy information they know incriminates them, and by obstructing and delaying investigators. He was brilliant in his concise clarity last night, for anybody who missed it.

Sorry I cant find a clip yet. Must not be posted to FOX yet.

What you don’t realize, being a paid shill operating from a training manual, it’s that normal people don’t respond like you do. Yours are Alinsky tactics - vicious, calculated and inhuman, designed to inflict harm. Being drunk with your training, you imagine your pathetic knowledge gives you superiority over those merely sharing their thoughts. It is a very common failing of corruption.

So your response is to strike outside of acceptable norms, to hide your repetitive behaviour behind what you’ve been taught will be blinding outrage or pain. So you stab and twist your knife, looking for the debilitating wound.

You play a very dangerous game, but you’re too naive to know it. You feel anonymous and invincible - and, pathetically, you trust your masters to keep you safe.

You actually think they care about your welfare - you really believe that. And you also think you can walk away from your work at any time, and that it won’t affect you - or, shall we say, affect your family life? Lol.

You’re just another nasty child, wanting to be important.

Intent has no bearing on this case.

Gowdy addressed the intent element of one of the pertinent statutes but dropped the ball, perhaps intentionally for someone with his experience, with regard to the "gross negligence" aspect of the more important statute.

Comey was careful to not use the statutory phrase, "gross negligence" in his statement, but rather described Clinton's behavior as "extremely reckless".

That distinction, or lack of distinction and the relevant federal decisions is were the legal battle should have been, but Gowdy ducked.

Comey will be allowed to skate with this abortion of a decision because it came from the TOP. He will not resign because he has no shame, honor or integrity. He is a complete slug in the womb of a plethora of slugs.


Well said

I started to watch it and did for a few minutes, but when the Demonrats started I couldn’t. Bad enough the beast gets away with breaking the law but seeing the Dims do what they do best by trying to turn one’s attention to anything BUT what these hearings are about makes me sick!

“Lets us know when loudmouth Gowdy actually takes action”

What “action” do you want Gowdy to take?

Personally convene a grand jury to investigate Hillary?

Call for Obama to be impeached a couple of months before Obama is out of office?

One of the elements of res mensa is recklessness. The precise definition of recklessness has been contested and has evolved. It generally involves a person pursuing a course of action while consciously disregarding the fact that the action gives rise to a substantial and unjustifiable risk.

That’s what she did.

All this committee did today was stir up more questions. I believe the objective was to put to bed the reason behind Comeys conclusion. We get hopeful then it just kinda blows away. Pfffffft.

“And, sad to say, it was way, way over the head of the Gowdy-Haters posting on this thread. They have no idea what you are talking about. “

When they get elected to Congress themselves, their performances will likely be stellar. ;-)

Unfair. Trey had an advantage. He is an honest attorney and Comey is merely a cheap political hack. But Hillary probably promised him a seat on SCOTUS. Comey - the Terror of Martha Stewart - and other outstanding “criminals”>

Talisker: you will be a great deal happier in life if you refuse to engage with the Brock-o-Trons unless they can pass the Turing Test at least at retard level of proficiency. Clearly, Ding-a-ling-donger does not qualify. Not surprising, since we know that Hillary!®'s people know pretty much nothing about computer technology.

Admin Mod: I urge you to check this professional concern troll's posting history. Apparently posting history search is not working, but Ding-a-ling-dong is obviously a paid disrupter.

So, you think there is nothing that can be done, that more talking is it? Go away then. I am tired of the cowardly talk.
