FBI -- Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey [Hillary Clinton]

FBI Press Release ^ | July 5, 2016 | James Comey

[UCANSEE2]

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.

Why are 'we' not deciding that now ? It is exactly what he was hired to do. It was the purpose of the investigation.

[JayAr36]

Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. FBI?

The FBI motto. I wonder where it went? Certainly was destroyed today by one of the corrupt, venal occupants of the District of Corruption.

[Phlap]

So, to sum up, where is the Independent Counsel?

[Phlap]

... or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

Sorry about your disability. You must be blind.

[Carthego delenda est]

“And we Freepers that said Hillary will face NO charges were flamed and slammed by Freepers living in another Universe, believing in the Easter Bunny and other such apparent fantasys. Sheesh..”

All the flaming angered me too. This one takes the cake.

[Phlap]

In the days and week ahead, more evidence will emerge (it always will with the Clintons) but the horse is out of the barn.

[UCANSEE2]

Head of FBI says Hillary is CARELESS and has POOR JUDGEMENT.

[TexasTransplant]

For 47% Bill and Hillary are even Bigger Rock Stars than they were yesterday

[Sir Napsalot]

One word,

R E S I G N !!!

As if we need any more proof that everything is super partisan, nothing else matters. (And forget the useless Gowdy committee report)

[Henchster]

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information,..."

Yeah, right:

[justlurking]

Why are 'we' not deciding that now ? It is exactly what he was hired to do. It was the purpose of the investigation.

No, security or administrative sanctions are not imposed by the FBI, or any law enforcement agencies.

That's the responsibility of DIS (or DSS, or OPM, or whatever it's called now), who administrates security clearances. Security administrators at the violator's employer would make the initial call, but it would ultimately be that government agency that revokes the clearance. And, they would refer potential criminal violations to the FBI.

Once the employee's clearance is terminated, it's up to the employer to decide what to do with them. They can't work on anything that requires a clearance. If it was something this careless, they would almost certainly be terminated with cause.

[Ray76]

“Intent” doesn’t matter.

[Henchster]

"Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities."

SO RECOMMEND CHARGES!:

[Ray76]

She decided to operate her own unsecured server - that *is* intent.

[The Continental Op]

You are right—very damaging findings. If they don’t make their way into campaign commercials for Trump, somebody is missing a golden opportunity.

[p. henry]

The statute in question does not require intent. It requires gross negligence. The FBI Director said she demonstrated extreme carelessness. It seems to me that there is no difference between that and gross negligence. Further, it also seems to me that Petraeus pled guilty to a misdemeanor for a far less serious violation. Clearly, this decision was influenced by Hillary’s status as the presumptive nominee of the Democrats. However, this may be a blessing in disguise from a political perspective. His statement damages her significantly. She is now a much more unsatisfactory nominee. Had she been indicted, the Democrats would have been forced to advance another candidate who might actually have had a better shot at winning the election than Hillary.

[Sal]

The good side of this is that the lying botch will be the opponent instead of Joe stepping in at the last minute with the LIVs knowing practically nothing about him except that everybody seems to like him.

[Ray76]

The FBI interviews her on Saturday(!) and the next business day the FBI announces “no indictment”.

This is illegitimate on it’s face.

[danamco]

I was one of those FReepers referring to the usualy klintonistas' TEFLON coating!!! Here apparently what happened to her tech man's immunity??? https://www.facebook.com/HowHillaryClintonStoleTheNomination/videos/vb.835433099935206/913757518769430/?type=2&theater 'MIND BLOWING!

[sargon]

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.

There you have it. Just run with that, Mr. Trump. It's the best you'll get from these corrupt crooks.

Vote Trump!
