Outraged Twittersphere Mocks FBI Director After Clinton Email Decision
Western Journalism ^ | July 5, 2016 | Jack Davis

Posted on 07/06/2016 8:06:07 AM PDT by Mozilla

Twitter’s court of public opinion was ruling against FBI Director James Comey Tuesday after the FBI announced that it would not be pressing any charges against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton despite ruling that she and her aides were “careless” in their mishandling of classified information during Clinton’s time as secretary of state.

With a creativity usually reserved for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s faux pas, Twitter exploded with “Shorter Comey” tweets as the Twittersphere boiled down the massive FBI investigation and Comey’s statement to the media Tuesday into a message that was just Twitter-sized.

Yes, we are gutless but my fear is government “leaders” are compromised.

It can be no accident what has transpired in the last 10 days with Clinton, Lynch, a 3.5 hour interview wth the FBI interview and then Hillary Clinton is magically not charged.

John Roberts knows.

Sanders supporters, Trump supporters, and people who just generally don’t trust Hillary - she is not liked or trusted as a person or a candidate, and is ripe for a November rout. She has all of Bill’s deviousness without the slightest particle of the charisma some people see in him.

Blackmail being used at every turn.. Reminiscent of John Roberts’ 0bamacare decision and utter failure by Congress to JAIL Lois Lerner.

So, being careless with national security is no crime?

Probably a ripped-up print out of his pension account

No, Comey just teed her up for Trump’s soon-to-be-named Attorney General, whom Trump has already promised to slap on her like a leach.

The people that need help are the tantruming Cruzers on social media attacking Trump. Right through the breaking Hillary Rotten Criminal news yesterday. That is “principled conservatism”? How pathetic is that? Get them help, please.

The article is about TWITTER. #CruzCrew are his supporters there. They were 100% never Trump yesterday.

Cruz and other Republicans find this “troubling”.

They are all useless.

I can think of dozens of actions they could take today to directly address the issue—they need to follow Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and take the fight to the Hillary/administration criminal conspirators.

They spent yesterday and will spend today and the next few days doing damage control, then it will be back to business-as-usual.

I’m not on Twitter, but I understand the blowback from the Berniebots is far more brutal even than from our side.

Unintentionally being grossly negligent is no crime...even with pronounced evidence of deliberation and subterfuge.

As they should. Anyone with a real brain knows there was some type of payoff. None of us would be able to send classified documents over our home server without doing 10 years hard time. Anyone and I mean ANYONE in this administration can be bought off. There is no rule of law anymore, only those with connections and those without.

No need for a payoff if Clinton and Obama have compromising photos or other information that could find its way into the public domain.

Do you have an example of someone throwing a tantrum and attacking Trump? I didn’t see it, but I do see you bringing up Cruz on a thread that was not even about Cruz. That is just as damaging by distracting from what should be the message... that Hillary is a crook.

If Hillary was indicted then too would be every person sending, responding, and receiving every classified email or email chain.

So we are once again left without knowing who all of these people are, possibly including the President, and what this may have played in the determination not recommend indictment. Could it have been so vast that this would have stopped Washington cold as?

All were actively engaging in sharing and transmitting secrets through an unsecure network.
