Only PUTIN can save us now. He has ALL of Hillary’s emails. But I think he’ll wait and see if she’s elected. There’s PLENTY of material to BLACKMAIL her with once she’s elected.

“Remember, she can still be prosecuted.”
That’s hilarious

We do not have the rule of law, we have kings and queens. Hillary is Queen. She is a very unlikable queen.

Now.. how do you like the visual of Hillary boarding AIR FORCE ONE, immediately following Comey remarks.

Talk about.. “ moving on”.

Justice changes the language of law to avoid prosecution of the elite Left.

How this manipulation of language can stand, even a misdemeanor, gives license to all government agencies to do the same.

Here’s the money quote:

“The FBI has told the public that because Mrs. Clinton did not have intent to harm the United States we should not prosecute her on a felony that does not require proof of intent to harm the United States. Meanwhile, although there may have been profound harm to national security caused by her grossly negligent mishandling of classified information, we’ve decided she shouldn’t be prosecuted for grossly negligent mishandling of classified information.”

Intent isn’t even supposed to be a consideration, yet that is what he is using to excuse her. If intention can be considered, why are they still chasing Ed Snowden? How is his case any different than hers?

I reviewed this law right before Rush talked about this article.

The link in black and white for what you posted. Right there in number 1.

Gross Negligence DOES NOT REQUIRE INTENT!!

Remember, she can still be prosecuted

As someone who once handled a lot of classified documents, I've told several associates of mine that if she is not indicted, the rule of law is dead in this country.

So welcome to Mexico, everyone.

Good catch....faux judge Roberts rewrote Obamacare to pass it. Utter lawlessness is now the norm at the highest levels of the government, but since the U.S. has imported 40 million legal third worlders since the “1965 Immigration Act” the left has all the voting troops it needs to overwhelm the rest of us taxpayers out here.

Yeah, I got plastered, drunk as a skunk and ran over that old lady. But I never had intent to do so. Too bad for her that she was on the sidewalk at the wrong time!

So a drunk driver slams into Comey’s wife and kids and kills them all, He should not be prosecuted ? It was Gross Negligence but the drunk did not intend to have the accident?

The stench is unbearable but I believe a Pyrrhic victory and will be short lived. What I have been fearing what will happen will become reality soon.

"8 USC § 793(f)"

Trump should cite this statute every time he communicates with the public, via any means.

He should memorize the language and repeat it often.

Even a succinct extract...perhaps better.

The problem is that the “criminals, terrorists, and murderers” are now in total control of all our institutions, including the CIA and FBI-—even our elementary skools for mass indoctrination and total destruction of Western Civilization (Christianity/Free Will (choice)/Individualism).

They form a cartel-—and the cartel are demonic and literally worship Lucifer in their satanic orgies with children (Epstein), and will kill to keep their power......the “good” are very afraid and will be made their slaves or be destroyed by the “free”(LOL) press.

Gross negligence implies criminal intent. I learned that in the first college class I ever took.

Great point. Comey joins that long gray line of cowards. John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, about 85% of elected republican officials, etc. etc. etc.

Elections have consequences. I hope everyone that stayed at home on election day in 2012 are happy. This is what they gave us.
