The Daily 202: Clinton’s credibility gap widens after FBI rebuke

Washington Post ^ | July 6, 2016 | James Hohmann

THE BIG IDEA: Want to know why two-thirds of Americans do not consider Hillary Clinton trustworthy? Rewatch pretty much any public comment she’s made about her email use over the past 16 months and then watch James Comey’s speech yesterday.

The FBI director shredded so many of the talking points that the former secretary of state and her top aides have used over and over again throughout this scandal, including that she never emailed classified material; that information in the emails was classified retroactively; that none of the emails were marked as containing classified information; that there were definitively no security breaches; that she turned over all work-related emails to the State Department; that the set-up was driven by convenience; and that the government was merely conducting “a security review.”

Will the voters still vote for her?

Anyone else could never get any government job after this...

47% would vote for Jack the Ripper, a German Shepherd, a cinder block or a ham sandwich so long as it promised to keep the free sh*t a-flowin.

Has Obama tipped that over the 50% mark? I guess we are about to find out.

Surprised this made the ComPost.

That was my first thought! Somewhere pigs are flying...hopefully in all lands Sharia.

Ordinary Americans are like the tail of a dead dinosaur, still twitching about long after the heart stopped beating and the innards eaten by predators.

Sorry but I don't think the ham sandwich would stand a chance........ ;)

"Most Americans – including elites in both parties – believe both Bill and Hillary Clinton think a different set of rules and standards apply to them than everyone else. This dates to the 1990s."

Why wouldn't, given their history, Billary and Hitlery believe the "rule of law" doesn't apply to them? "We the people" have not only - not held them accountable - rather they have been rewarded time and again for their corruption and flaunting of the law. Not talking about the good folks here at FR, but the fact this duo keeps on keepin on, says more about "We the People" than is does about them.

Hillary's 'base' is monied white trash ( gobs of DC money acquired by stealing from the American people) - and the black and brown criminal underclass that prop them up. They don't care.

College 'elites' like Gruber feed off the DC corruption - - they would vote for Attila the Hun if he kept their grants wet and flowing.

In short, this won't make much difference.

Window-dressing useful idiots - good people types who supported Sanders will be thrown under the bus... and the press? Biased haters? They'll kiss Hillary's butt no matter what she does....or they'll lose their jobs.

Apparently, I’m at my limit of free WP articles for the month. Any FReepers want to copy and paste the rest of the article for me? TIA.

That is a no no and can get us in trouble.

You’re right, thanks. I’ll try to use another device to read it.

Try a different browser (IE vs. Chrome vs. FireFox).

The FBI’s credibility is severely diminished.

Good idea, thanks.

The message in Comey's failure to refer Hillary to the DOJ can be summarized in one –or both – of these 4 word phrases: EVERYONE HAS A PRICE and/or I WANT TO LIVE! It will be up to us to stop Hillary the Harpy in November. And if we do that, the next president may have a say in the matter. And THAT has the Demonrats experiencing multiple bouts of involuntary diurnal enuresis!

I use my iPad almost exclusively, because I have an easier time reading a bigger page than a phone. However, I was able to read it on my iPhone. I rarely use that for surfing.

I will not read any further. Your post, Buckeye McFrog, has nailed it. Thank you.
