EXTREMELY CARELESS

It truly is the “JUST US” Dept!!! I HATE THIS COUNTRY!
That is correct. This entire aspect is conspicuously absent from his remarks. It is a crime to "to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities," and other than passing mention that the criminal statute exists, this crime was not addressed in his remarks.
His justification for "exonerating" HIllary was based on not reaching the culpability of "intentionally" or "grossly negligent." But the mental state for the removal of classified information in the first place is "knowing" the material is classified.
His conclusion is BS too. "Only facts matter." No, the facts are viewed in light of the law. It is that combination that matters. Without the law, not even the facts matter.
Well, according to Comey, if she texts the nuke codes out, as long as she did not INTEND for China to get them, she’s good.
Man the F’ING dinosaurs ran this place better.
So he agreed to be the fall guy.
“For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail”
Nothing to see here, move on sheeple. The above is so absolutely illegal that I cannot understand how they can NOT prosecute.
Corrupt Comey went afater Martha Stewart BECAUSE....
There were investigations into ‘insider trading’ by politicians. Comey was directed to go after Stewart to DISTRACT the PUBLIC from the fact that it was the elected officials who were doing insider trading.
As quickly as they could, while the public was distracted by Stewart’s prosecution, our elected officials CHANGED THE LAW and made it OK for THEM to do INSIDER TRADING.
No, that's not the case. Clinton and her staff used a server that they set up, completely outside the State Dept, in violation of State Dept. policy. It's no different than if you set up a server and put it in a spare bedroom. Even if you used it for work email, it wouldn't be considered part of your employer's system(s).
From the unclassified State Dept. system, people could send email to and from that server, over the public Internet. Depending on how the servers on each end are configured, it MAY send it over a secured (by SSL or TLS) connection.
And this is where I'm surprised the FBI isn't prosecuting someone: even if Clinton never originated classified material in a message, it had to be sent by SOMEONE. There is at least one message out there in the public release in which someone clearly copy/pasted a section from a classified document marked with a (C) (for Confidential), without including the document header/footer that is required.

That is prima-facie evidence of a crime committed by Monica Hanley, if the message headers are correct.
I suspect there are a lot more messages that would have been like this, if the sender hadn't remembered to remove the classification marking.
Pride, it's like Sin Gloss.
Time to man up, everybody. We all knew this was coming. Still, the statement of the FBI director is loaded with gold. I’ve gone through it and highlighted specific findings. Basically, he’s saying yes, there is evidence of crime but we are giving her a pass. The facts laid out are damning, regardless of the FBI’s feckless and gutless decision to pull back. The findings are important and MUST NOT be ignored, and must be used to hammer her every single day. Here is just ONE finding:
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
Here’s another:
“There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails). None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.”
There are about ten others, including multiple servers, obvious attempts to make recovery impossible, lies about how many work emails were turned over and that only personal emails were deleted, probable comprise of the system by our enemies, etc. etc.
Let’s make use of what we have.
>“NO INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT ACTS FOUND ON THE PART OF HILLARY CLINTON”<
So what? They found she has been extremely careless with top secret information. And the leftist lemmings will all line up to vote her in office because Trump is “mean”. Now they’re circulating a story about a rape accusation about Trump, completely ignoring both Clintons’ actions centering around Bill Clinton’s multiple, credible, accusers.
Yes. He made of point of saying there was no direct evidence. Well, direct evidence of the sort he describes would be e-mail transmission logs, which customarily are erased after a short time, a couple months at most; or some sort of intrusion log that also showed the transmission of information to a hostile force, and that sort of log would be unusual.
Assume that some foreign/hostile force has the emails. That would not be direct evidence that the foreign/hostile force hacked the private server.
Yep. He knew it was going nowhere but he let the public know exactly what they found. Everybody knows now that if it had been anybody else, charges would have been filed.
He let the public know, without actually saying it, that she is unqualified to be President because she’s too stupid to handle classified information. He didn’t have to make the explanations but he did.
What about the crooked Clinton foundation? Is this being investigated still?
Gee. Would ‘intentional misconduct’ be the standard for a Republican? Or a private citizen?
Didn’t think so.
All part of the plan to get the moral, decent, loyal Americans OUT of the FBI.
The negative statement that Comey made about Hillary's carelessness and poor judgement is all we need to put Trump over the top.
Trump can hammer her over and over again on this.
Then, once Trump gains power, he can drill down big time on the Clinton Foundation fraud.
The lady with the big cankles is euphoric today, but the fat lady has not sung yet.
>Assume that some foreign/hostile force has the emails. That would not be direct evidence that the foreign/hostile force hacked the private server.<
Absolutely, since it was stated that the recipients of Clinton’s emails were found to have been hacked.
I agree with that. But just keep in mind that for elected and appointed royalty, the issue is political, not legal.
Our elected and appointed elites are above the law. Comey's statement is an effort to deny that reality, but arguing that point is not where the fruit lies.
