FBI director: Clinton email case 'was not a cliff-hanger' (wants you Freepers to shut up)
Washington Post ^ | September 7, 2016 | Matt Zapotosky

Posted on 09/07/2016 8:27:26 PM PDT by Zakeet

FBI Director James B. Comey said in a memo to the bureau's employees that the decision not to charge Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state was "not a cliff-hanger" and, "despite all the chest beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a prosecutable case."

The director's assessment was notable for its bluntness, though its assertions were not new.

He said he had "no patience for suggestions that we conducted ourselves as anything but what we are - honest, competent, and independent.

"Those suggesting that we are 'political' or part of some 'fix' either don't know us, or they are full of baloney (and maybe some of both)," he wrote.

The meathead has a point ... the Rats have turned the place into such a cesspool of corruption that prosecuting one of them for anything is damn near impossible!

Looks like somebody felt the need to pull Comey’s chain.

The Yutz is trying to have it both ways - look like an agent and kiss hillary’s ass, both.

Sorry, Comey, one or the other - and you’ve already blown it as an agent.

If you don’t like the taste of hillary’s butt, you’ve no one to blame but yourself.

Anyone catch O’Reily tonight when he looked straight in the camera and said he no longer thinks much of Comey? BOR was a huge Comey fan but not anymore.

Yeah, it wasn't a cliffhanger. It was a no-brainer. And you failed the test.

This Clinton lap dog really expected the sane people in this country to accept his sell-out to the Democrat Party when Hillary’s obstruction of justice in destroying government property was blatant? He should be fired for failing to keep the oath he took when he promised to do his job “faithfully.”

Comey can’t change the fact that he has become the
poster child for corrupt, lawless, 3rd world government
here in the US.

The Director's memo is direct proof that his FBI employees are disgusted, embarassed, shamed and demoralized by his actions or lack thereof.

Otherwise, why would he bother to put out the memo worded the way it is unless there is unrest and revolt among the men and women in the Service.

Comey is a traitor to the people of the United States.

His name will go down in history beside Benedict Arnold.

He is a coward who has no business being in law enforcement.

If the FBI won’t do their job, then close them down.

Interesting that he felt the need to write the memo. There must be questions and concerns within the Bureau.

You’re a fraud, Comey. It’s not even questionable. You’re bought and paid for and I should have known that when I found out you’re the one who chose Patrick Fitzgerald to railroad Scooter Libby. Another total abuse of power under the law.

Both of you are a complete disgrace the the idea of the rule of law and traitors to the Republic. Go crawl under a rock and enjoy your traitor’s treasure.

Man needs to stand down. If he can’t do his job, he’s got the wrong one.

Is there any way to flush this rat before his term ends in 2022?

It’s not a “cliff hanger” at all, it’s a certainty that Clinton violated laws. You enumerated those violations Comey. And more have surfaced since then.

That’s why he releases damaging info on the Friday evening before a 3 day weekend. Exactly like the democrat partisans always do.

So he can look like he has sooooo much ‘integrity’?
