“No case in history of prosecution for this kind of careless handling of classified information”.

Perhaps because there has never been a case like this with a SofS.

Yes I quite agree with you, the use of the word "careless" was calculated to appease those who can look at the record and come to no other conclusion yet put a value on the degree of carelessness so that it does not approach "gross negligence."

If I look at the transcript of the directors remarks, I think I will find a modifier increasing the degree of negligence but without using the word "gross."

It is odd that the FBI is making a value judgment about what is essentially a jury question, the degree of negligence involved in exposing the country and its top secrets to espionage. Normally, if the evidence meets a threshold, which the director admits, of more than ordinary negligence, it might be reconsidered gross negligence by a jury and that decision should be left to a jury. Instead, the director of usurps that function.

It's also interesting that the director does not even touch on the potential motive to line the pockets of Bill Clinton and the Clinton foundation when he talks about collateral factors which might recommend for prosecution. It is as though that huge scenario hovering over the whole affair does not exist.

Well, the good news is that all Cabinet Level Officials will no longer need to use costly Government Monitored Secure Email Systems. This should save the Taxpayers a bundle.

Whenever a Cabinet Secretary is Appointed, they can just show up to work with their Gmail or Yahoo Email Address and they’re good to go.

Every Cloud has a silver lining. Look at the Bright Side.

agree. it’s like comey overstepped his position and pronounced judgement of not guilty.

Let’s loretta off the hook for having to do her job of deciding indict or not.

bunch of liars and cheats all of them!

Well, technically he's leaving the decision to a prosecutor (or at least the DOJ), but by saying that no reasonable prosecutor would bring the case he's got his finger on the scale.

Quote: “The FBI reputation would be ruined, perhaps forever. They would have to withstand the publicity of a few hundred million dollars being spent by the Trump Campaign lumping the FBI, Comey and Hillary with his now famous Crooked Hillary Tag. Do we really believe the leaks from the FBI, NSA, CIA, DIA and elsewhere would never materialize? Do we really believe that everyone in the FBI is corrupt? I don’t think so.”

First off, how many institutions, organizations and people have the Clinton’s ruined or corrupted in their quest for power? The FBI would just be another paver stone on the path for those two.

Secondly, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it does it make a sound? I should have added this to my analysis but the “move on” moment will entail the press ignoring, drowning out and ruining anyone who dares leak anything that does not support the “innocent, victim, exonerated” Hillary narrative.

The dead giveaway he is lying when he alleged no one knew what he was about to say. This Fed then immediately started praising his people. Looking close, his eyes were actually watery/glassy and the man was sweating.

Scary stuff.

KT McFarLand on fox reminds us there were two investigations. Comey did not say anything about the Clinton foundation.

Clinton should have known that the computer system they were taking the info/emails from was a classified system. I don’t think Comey made that point.

To continue about what FBI Director Comey omitted where Clinton got her information to put on her private computer server(s). The US State Department uses SIPRNet Secret Internet Protocol Router Network to transit classified. When Hillary and her lackeys copied and pasted info from this classified network into her unsecure and unclassified personal computers, SHillary knew that they were taking classified information or should have very assumed they were. Comey knew this and he left it out of his statement.

Furthermore, messages are headed by the classification. You mean to tell me SHillary or her little lackeys didn't see this LoL?

Here is an example SPIRNet from Wiki. Notice a once "confidential" header/caption of a downgraded message.



The same secure computer network that Chelsea Manning had access.

Total lie, I agree. Proof is that Hillary did not appear even slightly interested in hearing the presser. Hello, if she really didn’t know, even if innocent, she would have been highly distracted.

Does today's finding of no indictment mean that the investigation into the Clinton Foundation is over as well?

One of the Clinton's constituencies is made up of liars, scam artists and cheaters. They admire the king and queen of such. The more people who join them in their nefarious ways, the more they believe they will get away with themselves. sad

New campaign slogan: only criminals vote for Hillary. All Hillary supporters support lawbreaking.

So is the Klinton Foundation still being investigated or did Comey say that was all a-0kay too?

I’m sick. I’m starting to think the best presidential choice is the Huge Comet Hitting Earth.

Banana Republic.

LBJ murdered JFK. GHWB tried to murder Reagan. Saudis and Rdd Chinese have bought the so-called “U.S. Government.”

True for a normal person. For a sociopath, possibly not.

The FBI military guy is saying that Hillary could NEVER now get a job at Lockheed or Boeing.

I urge Donald Trump to make a statesman speech with teleprompters tonight . It should be a quieting speech like “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. This is an historic moment for our nation. Clinton’s are above the law when with Nixon ,Night After Night “ NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW”
. This is epic destruction of justice in this country. Comey WAS IN THE BAG!!
