ABC Hails ‘Momentous Day’ for Hillary with No Indictment; The ‘Cloud Is Lifted’ for Her, Obama
newsbusters.org ^ | July 5, 2016 | Curtis Houck

In the moments following FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges for her private e-mail servers scandal, the cast assembled by ABC News hailed the “extraordinary decision” as “a momentous day” signaling that “a cloud is lifted” for Clinton to continue on with the presidential race and President Obama to give his own thoughts on the matter.

Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas dubbed Comey’s recommendation an “extraordinary decision” and blistering for Clinton but emphasized the early spin that “they looked at precedent and found no case like it where prosecutors would have went for it and did not believe the Justice Department would have gone for it.”

Actually Comey’s statements prove that Hillary is incompetent for the office of the Presidency.

How can a person who has been a lawyer, First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State not know the laws for the handling of any type of government communications! Carelessness?

Really, you want her as President with that level of CARELESSNESS?

Question is

Why did Comely lay out all the detail about what they learned
It clearly shows Hillary is guilty as hell

What was his intent ?

Makes no sense to show how she is guilty then say no prosecutor would take the case

Something is not what it seems

cloud is lifted

No, to the contrary, the "cloud just got much, much bigger and ominously darker

A government that kisses the feet of such evil is a grave danger to us all.

This is a sad day, for our Country and the American Public. FBI Director James Comey has allowed the entire FBI Department to become a laughing stock and has allow a know criminal to get away with letting Top-secret, Secret, and Confidential Classified materials to be let out to the general public including spies and enemy countries to be used against us. And of course, he doesn’t do anything at all against her. If this same thing happened to any one of us. We would be arrested, places in solitary, and tried for treason and executed.
Mr. Comey, because of his actions, has disparaged and disgraced every Law-Enforcement Agency and Every Law-enforcement Officer in the Country. He is just another Rear-end Kisser who doesn’t care about the truth, but instead, follows the orders of Obama, and Lynch, and doesn’t care about the damage cause by her actions. As Col Peters said about OBAMA. FBI Director James Comey, you are nothing by a PUSSY!!!!!

Sure, the 'Cloud is lifted for her and Obama', and the sun is set on America.

Just another nail in the coffin, and confirmation that we are a lawless society. A society that is selective in its application of laws, is lawless.
Sanctuary cities, open borders, IRS Directors persecuting conservatives, Congress people making themselves exempt from the laws that the little people need to follow, Sodomite pretend marriages, non-Freedom of religious practice if you are Christian. This latest debacle is just another nail in the coffin. The end is nigh for this once great and blessed Nation.

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

It’s what the media will be doing when she loses it’s why Obama is on a pimping tour with her real numbers suck and the media knows it the cover up operation is futile.

I think that was his attempt to salvage his, and the agency’s image while he capitulated to the Obama administration. I’ll bet he was under pressure to not recommend charges unless there was a solid chance they could obtain a conviction. To divide the agencies would have been extremely harmful to the Democrats and Hillary. He is trying to make it appear the agency and he are above politics, but everything he said shows they are subservient.

What makes this such a dark day, imho, is that while this shows abject corruption in the government (as if we didn’t know), the entire Leftosphere is high-fiving each other and applauding themselves over this “win”.

Cause, Trump, right?

The “win” means they are very, very close to absolute power . . . and as the saying goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely . . . we are in very deep doo doo.

Samuel Adams must have had a telescope through which he could view the Year 2016:
"He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man. We must not conclude merely upon a man's haranguing upon liberty, and using the charming sound, that he is fit to be trusted with the liberties of his country. It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, - to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves. It is not, I say, unfrequent to see such instances, though at the same time I esteem it a justice due to my country to say that it is not without shining examples of the contrary kind; - examples of men of a distinguished attachment to this same liberty I have been describing; whom no hopes could draw, no terrors could drive, from steadily pursuing, in their sphere, the true interests of their country; whose fidelity has been tried in the nicest and tenderest manner, and has been ever firm and unshaken. The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people." - Loyalty and Sedition, essay in The Advertiser, 1748

"He who is void of virtuous Attachments in private Life, is, or very soon will be void of all Regard for his Country. There is seldom an Instance of a Man guilty of betraying his Country, who had not before lost the Feeling of moral Obligations in his private Connections." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775

"Since private and publick Vices, are in Reality, though not always apparently, so nearly connected, of how much Importance, how necessary is it, that the utmost Pains be taken by the Publick, to have the Principles of Virtue early inculcated on the Minds even of children, and the moral Sense kept alive, and that the wise institutions of our Ancestors for these great Purposes be encouraged by the Government. For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775

"Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust be men of unexceptionable characters. The public cannot be too curious concerning the character of public men." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775
