1. Again

This should cause Trump to flip-flop again and declare the intelligence community (upon which he relied so heavily to assassinate General Soleimani) untrustworthy and tools of Deep State.

2. HRC is cleared in every investigation

like how many investigations conducted on the Benghazi attack? About 8?

The rethugs can never find anything she did wrong, but they still keep hounding and hounding her.

Of course, they're not going to publicize her exoneration. They'll wait a few months and start yet another.

4. And for those who want a little more from the Washington Post article

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/justice-dept-winds-down-clinton-related-inquiry-once-championed-by-trump-it-found-nothing-of-consequence/2020/01/09/ca83932e-32f9-11ea-a053-dc6d944ba776_story.html

A Justice Department inquiry launched more than two years ago to mollify conservatives clamoring for more investigations of Hillary Clinton has effectively ended with no tangible results, and current and former law enforcement officials said they never expected the effort to produce much of anything.

John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, was tapped in November 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into concerns raised by President Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton’s time as secretary of state, when the U.S. government decided not to block the sale of a company called Uranium One.

As a part of his review, Huber examined documents and conferred with federal law enforcement officials in Little Rock who were handling a meandering probe into the Clinton Foundation, people familiar with the matter said. Current and former officials said that Huber has largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing — though the assignment has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to lawmakers, these people said.

The effective conclusion of his investigation, with no criminal charges or other known impacts, is likely to roil some in the GOP who had hoped the prosecutor would vindicate their long-held suspicions about a political rival. Trump, though, has largely shifted his focus to a different federal prosecutor tapped to do a separate, special investigation: U.S. attorney in Connecticut John Durham, who Attorney General William P. Barr assigned last year to explore the origins of the FBI’s 2016 probe into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

5. And now Trump and his henchmen can direct all their resources

into the Biden investigation.
They knew that there was nothing to find before they started "investigating" the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, just like they know that there is nothing to investigate in Ukraine about Joe Biden. The "investigation" is the point and the reason that Trump is now president.

6. So Hillary supposedly gave away all that uranium/control?

So Hillary supposedly gave away all that uranium/control?

"Days later, Trump said that the approval of the uranium sale is just one reason why Clinton should be investigated and, in a tweet, urged Republicans to “DO SOMETHING!” "

What happened to the deal?

Now that republicans love Mother Russia, note that they did not cancel the deal.

James whined about Hillary's so-called uranium deal but now that he and his fellow republicans love Mother Russia, note that they did not cancel the deal.

10. At least we haven't sunk so far where 'evidence' was fabricated. I was worried about that! nt

11. And how much coverage is this gonna get???

They draped themselves all over this shit, obsessing on it endlessly, practically slept in it every night, and we never heard the end of it.

But now that, ONCE AGAIN, she’s proven innocent.

You’d think after coming up empty this frequently, this consistently, this completely, that the Hillary haters would finally tire of it, or get bored with it because it always ends the same way, or get sick of coming up empty time after time, and go find somebody else to pick on.

It’s waaaaaay past time all you haters finally faced it. You’re NOT gonna “get” anything on her. Not EVER. Know why? Because she NEVER did ANYTHING wrong in the first place!

And it’s gonna wind up as a few lousy paragraphs on page A-24 over in the inside corner, below the fold. where nobody’s gonna see it.

12. Even if there was some kind of impropriety, these clowns wouldn't know what to look for

Part of the reason they're Republicans to begin with is their inherent incompetence. They know after repeated failure that they're hopeless idiots and that they're going to have to rely on manipulations, lies and cult tactics to get anywhere. They're too stupid to engage in a genuine, effective investigation, whether there's something to investigate or not.
