FBI boss’ outrageous double standard in letting Hillary skate
The New York Post ^ | July 5th, 2016 | By Post Editorial Board

The fix was in.

Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey painted a devastating picture of Hillary Clinton’s reckless lawbreaking with her emails and the damage it likely caused — but then recommended no charges against her.

When it comes to the Clintons, say goodbye to the rule of law.

Comey said the bureau looked for evidence that “classified information was improperly stored or transmitted” on Clinton’s personal email servers, in violation of a “statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way.”

Sure enough, his agents found plenty: 110 emails “in 52 email chains” were considered classified “at the time they were sent or received.”

That included eight “Top Secret” chains, 36 with “Secret” information and eight more that were “Confidential.” Another 2,000 were classified “Confidential” later.

There may have been more, but Comey said his agents couldn’t examine all of Hillary’s emails because some that were deleted may never be found.

The evidence showed Clinton and her colleagues were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information” — even if they may not have “intended” to break the law. And, as he said earlier, proving intent isn’t necessary to find her guilty of a felony.

All of the above. Lest we forget that if she goes under, she’s taking at least half of DC with her. That includes both parties. Beltway insiders have known that for decades and are scared.

IF there are any decent FBI people still in that org., please get out NOW. The sanke rots from the head down. The head has been exposed as rotten to its core.

...and also...

an admonition from Comey that anyone else doing this might get penalized.

Very much like what Joe Lieberman did during the Bill Clinton removal trial. Lieberman went on for a half-hour or so on the floor of the U.S. Senate damning Bill Clinton's crimes and misdemeanors ... then voted to acquit.

Comey's dishonor is just another clear demonstration that "The Good Shepherd" -- a movie about a government employee placing honor and integrity above political expediency -- is truly a work of fiction.

Wow,you are a bit paranoid,right??

You're right, there's no cause at all to be concerned. Nothing unusual or unsavory is going on. Everything is A-OK.

BTW, you're stuttering. Did I scare you?

So the FBI and the Justice Department won’t punish Crooked Hillary for her despicable crimes.

Let the American People punish her in the election instead!!!!

Crooked Hillary must lose in the greatest landslide in the history of the United States!!!! Then we must indict her, her husband, and her collaborators for their WAR CRIMES, and put them away from society FOR GOOD!!!!

PHOOEY!!!!

What it boils down to is:

Her Boss (Obama) knew she was using an unauthorized email system and did nothing to make her comply with the law. The responsibility for her discretions rests with him.

The FBI as well as the Justice Department cannot charge the President. That power rests with the Congress.

That’s where we are.

Have the resignations at the FBI started yet? I thought not.

Have the people gathered in the streets to demand redress of grievances? I thought not.

So when do all those FBI agents resign? Ha, that’ll happen when the half breed tells the truth.
