A press blackout on news top FBI lawyer James Baker wanted Hillary Clinton prosecuted
American Thinker ^ | February 21, 2019 | Monica Showalter

The news is out that then-FBI director James Comey did indeed have some credible prosecutors for Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified documents during her stint as secretary of state, passing around some of the U.S. government's most secret documents on an illegal private account attached to a server in some guy's bathroom.

"No reasonable prosecutor" would take the case, Comey intoned, who then let the former secretary of state and then-presidential candidate off the hook.

Actually, there was one, at least one, and he was sitting right next to Comey: none other than FBI general counsel James Baker, who admitted in congressional testimony that he did think Clinton's dishonest act merited prosecution.

This situation shows the hypocrisy, corruption nad blatant double standards in law enforcement.

But the entire media is silent. They have gone AWOL. They are sticking by their previous dishonest reports.

Comey and the other top people at FBI and DOJ have been shown to be liars. The media are shown to be totally dishonest.

If he included a list of strange suicides and murders surrounding the Clintons he is right.

I understand Baker was pressured to change his mind on indicting Hillary. I also understand “pressure” is often spelled t-h-r-e-a-t-e-n-e-d.

Actually lynch did take a stand — on the tarmac in Phoenix, then boarded the plane to allow these two crooked hacks to talk of grandkids, sharecroppin’ and one thing and another.

Yep, let the history books record this for all time.

The main reason she wasn’t prosecuted was it would lead right to Obozo................

It is still possible to prosecute her for her national security crimes, and will be possible until they day she dies.

Collusion, conspiracy and perhaps other “c” type crimes here.

"No reasonable prosecutor" would take the case, Comey intoned ...

Contrary to the article and many Freepers, Comey was absolutely correct when he said that.

No reasonable prosecutor would take the case because, that prosecutor would be certain to end up dead.

Did Baker, really?

Or, can Baker see the blatant and obvious writing on the wall and now engaging in re-inventing his involvement level?

Not a single one of the them have any integrity. Nothing any of them say should be taken at face value as anything other than a lie.

The only way to deal with x42 and hitlary would be to send in a SEAL TEAM and take them both out. Forget trying to arrest and charge those 2 because they will send the arkincide orders out.

Kinda a BANG BANG BANG BANG, STOP OR WE’LL SHOOT type Raid.

The “media” is only responsible for spreading the Democrats talking points. They are part of the Democrat Party. It’s time to stop thinking of them as either news or media. It’s been 85 years already.

Yes the rot in our supposedly ethical, law abiding institutions is deep and pervasive. What kind of promises did the Clintons make to Comey that they would have delivered on upon her election? A SCOTUS appointment? Or just $50 million in a secret Swiss account... It's sickening.

Comey was acting like he was Attorney general.
