But there was definitive evidence. He pretty much said so himself.

They don’t hesitate to bring charges against high officials if those high officials happen to be Republicans.
They throw everything but the kitchen sink at them. When the attempts fail, the one who lodged the charges gets a promotion.
I thought Lott was smart.
Given the power and authority vested in the Presidency, shouldn’t the bar be lower to ensure that only the best and most deserving are considered for that office?
Yeah, right. Tell that to Scooter Libby.
The reputational loss public officials face from criminal charges can be so great that prosecutors feel that they need to be sure of a conviction before going forward.
That is some BS there. Dem prosecutors bring charges to cause the reputational loss.
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office.
Comey’s report was crafted like an opening argument for a jury. Then the final paragraph was a complete 180.
This is similar to the John Roberts obamacare ruling where he apparently changed his mind a few days before the ruling was handed down - and it is alleged that he wrote both sides of the argument.
Also similar to Joe Biden’s withdrawal speech. 95% of it was to announce his candidacy - and then the last paragraph was that he decided not to run.
It looks to me like they all changed their minds at the last minute after being threatened.
The 14th Amendment is an illusory right.
Comey didn’t recommend to prosecute for one reason, and one reason only: the FBI prolly has one or many emails from the Oval Office staff, or Obama himself to Hillary.
He ain’t opening that can of worms no matter how much integrity he has.
Progressives are good at control.(they’ve controlled FBI, CIA, IRS....)
All animals are equal. Some are more equal than others.
Rejected. The article supports and defends the existence of multiple standards for different people depending on their status.
How is a candidate for public office, who currently holds no office, a "high public official."
I sold you, you sold me,

He loves Big Brother.
Her slogan should be. Dick Nixon has nothing on me. With the crimes and lies, and now the 22 page outline of DNC dirty tricks, it can only be described as Nixonian.
So “justice for all” is really just something we profess about the US because it makes us feel good. Kind of like how we profess that it is a “republic under God” while it forces Christians to participate in the celebration of sodomite marriage and in the funding of abortions.
I used to think 1984 was about communism. Now it seems much more relevant to the US government.
“But politicians aren’t unique. CEOs of major companies or public figures in other areas also face loss of careers simply by being charged. Possibly, prosecutors are simply more sensitive to politicians because they work for them. Politicians also have a lot of political connections.
If Comey is to be faulted, it must be because he didn’t explain these differences in his statement on Tuesday”
Bunch of BS. Like a felony charge really doesn’t have much effect on a little persons life. God I despise these people.
Really, tell that to Ray Donovan from Schiavone Construction Co.
