— Let’s make use of what we have. —
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.
____________

Agreed. But in November it won’t matter what Comey thinks is justice, it will matter what the voters think. If the facts in his statement are absorbed, people will return their own verdict on this at the ballot box.

“Watch for a mass exodus from the FBI.”

Never ... pensions and perks outweigh integrity every time in Washington DC.

Understand this ... since she has gotten away with this (and the same will hold true for any review of the Clintoon Foundation) ... she will be free to do any illegal activities in this election. We haven’t see voter fraud yet until we see the likes of it this fall. It will eclipse anything we have ever witnessed in our lifetimes.

Even CNN highlighted the passages I copied and then some. For them to be running with it is pretty big.

Not even charged with so much as misdemeanor. Mr Comey, in my opinion you have the integrity and ethics of a crack whore. In my opinion Lynch cannot even meet that standard. In my 69 years riding the starship earth, I never dreamt that we as a nation would come to such a pass. I weep for my country.

Great point, Comey's statement may not change a single vote among voters who have already decided on Trump or Clinton. But what about others? As they begin to focus on the election, will they really want to vote for a candidate who is "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."?

What will it take to get a Democrat to change from Clinton to a non-vote or a vote for Trump?

Disgusting and disturbing.

We saw it coming. Now she gets to play the victim.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

That's the key phrase there. Yes, she's guilty. If anyone else did this, we'd throw the book at them. But hey, it's Clinton, so never mind!

I hope in the days and weeks to come DJT is quite measured in his comments on this matter; I hate to see it flubbed up.

Any thinking person would stay away from this criminal...she can’t shake that. Trump better use this well.

I hope Trump drives the point that we are no longer a nation of laws.

**Officer, I didn’t intend to blow through that stop sign. I had no intention of passing the stop sign w/out stopping. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done it.**

..ya think it will work?

The FBI has been in the pocket of the Clintons for a long time. Remember the 1,100 FBI files Hillary got her hands on?
Remember the white wash of the Vince Foster “suicide”?

Comey's justification for dropping the case is based on analyzing the facts in light of 793(f). Comey neglected to apply the facts to 18 USC 1924(a), which was used to indict in US v. Bryan Nishimura.

As a parallel, just because the facts don't establish that Hillary committed murder, doesn't mean those facts don't establish manslaughter. But Comey only looked at the murder statute, and not finding evidence of intent, wants the public to conclude she has committed no offense.

But Comey never addressed the classified information mishandling parallel to manslaughter, 18 USC 1924(a). Just flat out blew it off after making passing mention such a statute exists.

I don’t think the FBI is honorable, and today’s action aligns with my previous belief about the institution. I figured Hillary would skate, she’s too big to fail.

I think I will pray for a right wing zealot to rid us of both Clintons.

From your keyboard to the Lord’s ears.

What irks me is that hussein is out parading the criminal around today, as if nothing happened.

I pray people WAKE UP! What more will it take? God help the Republic.

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I wonder if there is an honest US Attorney that will ignore the FBI's recommendation and pursue this?

Yeah, and monkeys will fly out of my butt....

-- I wonder if there is an honest US Attorney that will ignore the FBI's recommendation and pursue this? --

The the best of my knowledge, one of the things that follows Comey's/FBI conclusion is that FBI keeps the file. DOJ won't have an investigation file to use, for the purpose of composing a case.

I'm way past surprise at stuff like this. Obama, an admitted dual citizen at birth, was seated by a Congress that didn't debate, not for as much as 10 seconds, whether or not a dual citizen at birth is a NBC of the United States. But there is case law up the yin-yang on the subject.

Courts fabricate rights to abortion and homo marriage out of thin air, and we're supposed to respect that just because they have the title of "judge." Nope. Not going to play along. Shoot me.

The government plays fast and loose for it's own, and plays hardball "for keeps" against the rest of us. The system is rigged, that's a gross understatement. It is corrupt, rotten, morally decrepit.

At least there was no pardon. There’s no reason that I know of why Trump can’t reopen the investigation when he becomes President.

I see some wiggle room there. Justice still needs to officially state that no charges are warranted against Crooked Hillary.
