Barnicle on Hillary Email: 'Haven't Spoken to Anyone Who Believes There's an Indictable Offense'

Mike Barnicle's a guy from the Duke Ellington era, so I suppose it makes sense if he doesn't "get around much anymore." How else to explain his nonsensical statement on today's Morning Joe? When Joe Scarborough asked him why the FBI investigation of Hillary's email is taking so long, Barnicle said "I have not spoken to anyone who believes there is an indictable offense that has occurred."

Responded Scarborough sarcastically: "you're talking to a very tightly focused crowd there," adding that people in the intel community say "anybody else would be in prison right now." The befuddled Barnicle reversed himself moments later, saying "there's a couple of people I've spoken to who, you know, think that there should be sort of a Petraeus ruling on it, at a minimum." Petraeus was indicted and convicted of a misdemeanor for his mishandling of email. So which is it, Mike?

Barnicle says he hasn’t spoken with anyone who says there’s an indictable offense regarding Hillary email.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Barnicle: “I spoke to numerous officials at the DNC, none of them think there is an indictable offense here”.

[Old Yeller]

Has he spoken to Gen. Petraus?

Time to scrape the hull.

How about we scrape the barnacle off the FR boat?

Most liberals think Snowden is a hero, so there’s no surprise that they think it’s perfectly fine, laudable in fact, to expose classified information to hackers.

Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a HAM sandwich.” ―Sol Wachtler *Source/Notes: As quoted in: N.Y. Daily News, 31 January 1985 We ain't talking conviction here, just indictment. Maybe the FBI's dragging it out so that Obama will be out the door and not in a position to issue a presidential pardon. History question: When Ford pardoned Nixon, did Nixon request a pardon or did Ford do it sua sponte?

A Barnicle is only an unwanted Marine growth!

Before or after you found out what they think, Mr. Barnicle (Bill the Sailor)?

Let’s call a spade a spade. I suggest we use a term that will catch people’s’ attention. Label this Clintongate. If we can inject that into the public discourse and address the email and public corruption as Clintongate it paints a picture in people’s minds.

Ah. Mike “The Plagarist” Barnicle. What a gasbag.

[rlmorel]

There are a lot of people on Free Republic who think Snowden is a hero.

Hillary could murder this guys wife on national TV and he would still apologize for her! It’s for the good of the party you know????

“Ah. Mike “The Plagarist” Barnicle. What a gasbag.”

Got all his “street cred” on the mean streets of Lincoln, MA.

Big Media: where anecdotal evidence is far more important than actual evidence.....where exit polls are far more important that the actual votes. I guess Barnicle isn’t familiar with ‘it’s the seriousness of the charge, not the preponderance of the (real) evidence’. Oh wait, we’re talking about the Dems now, aren’t we?

John Gotti had great favorables when polling American opinion of the man. He paid for parades, funded hospitals, and was a real charming man.

He got something like 40 years in federal prison.

Here's another I stumbled across over the weekend, from a lefty no less. I'm half way through, but as a point-by-point analysis it finds several indictable offenses, for the dumbest of things. Do I really need to worry...
