CNN ^ | July 5th, 2016 | By Gregory Krieg

(CNN)It's not only Donald Trump and Republicans expressing their indignation at the FBI's decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified materials on a private email server.

The Tuesday announcement also set off a torrent of anger and frustration among some of Bernie Sanders' most diehard supporters, a vocal minority who have been agitating for an indictment of the former secretary of state in the hopes it would vault the Vermont senator to the Democratic nomination.

Trump and the Sanders bitter-enders had played up the possibility, pointing to what they called an "FBI convention" that would effectively block Clinton from becoming the nominee. But with FBI Director James Comey's announcement likely closing that door, social media -- including a couple high-profile Sanders backers -- erupted:

Lord I hope they stay home or ote Trump!
Either way, I’m pretty sure that a lot of Rat support will be pealed away thanks to this miscarriage of justice.

"Trump and the Sanders bitter-enders"

Bitter enders? Like bitter clingers I suppose.

Not particularly professional to use such a term in a journalistic content.

Also, the term might be applicable to Sanders supporters, but how can it be used with regard to Trump supporters ... unless this guy already knows what the result in November will be.

Paul Ryan is still steaming under his desk because Trump used a racist star! He can’t find time to be outraged about Clinton.

Hey! All you reporters (Note I didn’t say journalist they’re 2 different critters) There’s possibly a Nobel prize, a Pulitzer or a short walk in Fort Marcy Park if your willing to dig for the truth here.

They call Sanders supporters a “vocal minority”.

Bernie could have taken her out over this if he had hit it hard but he wimped out.

Did you not hear Ryan’s outrage? He was furious - said there was no place in political campaigns for anti-semitism, as displayed by Trump’s sheriff badge graphic.

Are all of the sheriffs across America anti-semites?

Never been to that site before. I was agreeing with every post on this subject. Lefties that see how corrupt Obama and the Clintons are, are our brothers and sisters.

People are hating on Obama something fierce over there!

TRump is an interesting fellow. He says “Politicians live in a world all they need is 51% support. You could never survive like that in the business world. You need to have 80% or more liking you service or product.” I like that. I like the fact he’s looking at winning these people over. They’re young, and stupid... they can be won over to our side.

If I could vote in Ryan’s district, I actually would vote for the Democrats unless Ryan loses in the primary.

EDUCATION DEBT FORGIVEN

Everything will be coming up roses for Hitlery because everything will be free and the world will be a utopia. That’s all the dumb little Bernie voters need to hear.

So, the question is, after all we’ve witnessed over the last eight years, and again during the Clinton Regime, did anyone REALLY expect her to get hauled into court?
