I guess I can still hold out the hope that Guccifer will ride in on his white horse with a box full of 30,000 hacked highly confidential emails detailing how Hillary and Bill scammed all these foreign countries out of billions of dollars of donations to the Clinton Crime Foundation in return for ownership of all our mineral rights in all 50 (57) states. The entertainment value of sitting on my couch listening to Comey justify the sloppy record keeping that led to this inadvertent unpunishable mistake would make it worth the wait. A long wait.

Bob Lonsberry makes an impressive argument regarding trust and responsibility, but it falls on deaf ears with the left. They don’t care. They don’t care that they don’t care. And they bristle with indignation at any thought of making them care.

Leftists are perpetual children who need to firm guidance and close supervision. They cannot be entrusted to go to the bathroom without washing their hands afterward.

One can rub their noses in this and you may humiliate them - for a moment - but leftists are born without a sense of shame so they will never “get it”.

“That’s because the FBI director believes that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges.”

Comey would have been more truthful but not excusably so if he’d said “no one in my position would bring charges”.

He could also have said that he was presenting his department’s findings without giving a recommendation one way or the other.

It doesn’t show her failure...it shows we’ve submissively allowed to the country to be conquered by criminals.

Setting up the server is enough. It’s not like the server was accidentally set up.

Comey declined to prosecute Hillary, saying no one had
ever been charged under this law under these circumstances.

That’s because these circumstances have never existed before. Never before has a secretary of State disregarded the policies of her own agency to, repeatedly over years, circumvent good policy and conduct – for reasons of personal political benefit – and jeopardized state secrets as a consequence.

And a military person who screwed up like this would already be on the way to  in Leavenworth.

There, fixed it.

To be fair, we’ve had two presidents in recent times who couldn’t get a security clearance... Bill Clinton and Obama.

Why is no one asking the obvious question... Why did Hillary go to the trouble and cost of setting up her own server when she could use a secure government server for free? The answer is obvious if she had her own server she could hide her nefarious dealings from FOIA requests or subpoenas.
