Highlight:

I will not be gracious in victory over the FBI investigation. [View all] Zynx Jul 2016 OP

So true. MariaThinks Jul 2016 #1

You view it as a victory? TCJ70 Jul 2016 #2

Oh bullshit. He said explicitly no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges. Zynx Jul 2016 #3

You're not a lawyer and therefore don't understand the subtleties brooklynboy49 Jul 2016 #179

I'm sure you think you're very clever there, but you ignored a simple thing in your own argument. Zynx Jul 2016 #196

Did you miss the part where they scoured ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY for a comparable prosecution BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #4

They don't care because they never actually cared about the facts. Zynx Jul 2016 #9

Agreed. Add this faux concern to the pile with all of the rest of it. nt BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #12

No, they presented Fox News spin as fact, and now they are working overtime emulatorloo Jul 2016 #27

Victory n/t Lance Bass esquire Jul 2016 #5

Your "concern" is noted. nt Dr Hobbitstein Jul 2016 #6

Thanks for keeping track! TCJ70 Jul 2016 #7

"Your "concern" is noted. nt" DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2016 #59

Yep, that's what they said...n/t TCJ70 Jul 2016 #62

Who is they and what did they say? DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2016 #64

I thought you were quoting Dr. Hobbitstein... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #67

Thank you. DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2016 #68

Splodey heads don't view it as this ... splodey heads hate her anyway uponit7771 Jul 2016 #8

The primary is over Dem2 Jul 2016 #14

And there is a great deal of hair pulling on these sites Gothmog Jul 2016 #123

Reccing the thread, TCJ70, and with it any posts illustrating Hortensis Jul 2016 #16

I had no hopes for an indictment... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #19

Your virtuous disapproval will be her "consequence," CJ70. Hortensis Jul 2016 #22

LOL. 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #35

LOL leftofcool Jul 2016 #132

But you clearly never broke a rule in your life, did you? randome Jul 2016 #31

Oh, I definitely have... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #34

And this didn't come anywhere close to being an actionable violation. So...case closed. randome Jul 2016 #37

Au contraire, HRC WAS PROVEN INNOCENT. :) Hortensis Jul 2016 #111

That's another way of look at it! randome Jul 2016 #119

where did you get that? She was proven negligent and careless. That is not to celebrate larkrake Jul 2016 #155

Will everyone who has never been careless and negligent please step forward? Arneoker Jul 2016 #159

that is why he did not criminalize larkrake Jul 2016 #161

Where did you go wrong? Cordy Jul 2016 #202

PROVEN? by whom? a rightwing hack who's been on her ass since Gabi Hayes Jul 2016 #203

See my post, above brooklynboy49 Jul 2016 #180

Have you ever held a clearance? Adrahil Jul 2016 #51

Thank you 3catwoman3 Jul 2016 #74

What is there to pursue? calimary Jul 2016 #183

there were consequences treestar Jul 2016 #116

Thank you SO MUCH for your concern! n/t NastyRiffraff Jul 2016 #40

You're SO welcome! n/t TCJ70 Jul 2016 #43

TCJ70 and others earn our thanks every day. Hortensis Jul 2016 #104

The problem for me is that Comey left the door wide open floppyboo Jul 2016 #41

He just said... Adrahil Jul 2016 #53

"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey MADem Jul 2016 #82

Thanks for the actual quote +1. NT Adrahil Jul 2016 #83

Hortensis was first! But it does bear repeating, over and over again! MADem Jul 2016 #84

that wasn't the quote I was referring to. floppyboo Jul 2016 #96

Did you mean the FBI finding: "NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE?" Hortensis Jul 2016 #109

No, I meant this one: floppyboo Jul 2016 #114

People aren't indicted for "administrative sanctions," Hortensis Jul 2016 #115

I wasn't talking about indictment. I don't believe I mentioned it once. floppyboo Jul 2016 #117

This message was self-deleted by its author AgadorSparticus Jul 2016 #157

Innocence was not proven, neither was intent. It is a non issue that grows mistrust larkrake Jul 2016 #170

That dog isn't hunting. nt MADem Jul 2016 #128

No one is arguing that. We've all got eyes and ears. floppyboo Jul 2016 #97

Obama blew the roof off that rally today! nt Maru Kitteh Jul 2016 #153

Still praying to the fairy? nolawarlock Jul 2016 #92

Why indeed? nolawarlock Jul 2016 #90

If you haven't noticed by now, some in America have NorthCarolina Jul 2016 #171

I watched it too and that passage made me think of some one else who did just that — Snowden brush Jul 2016 #20

You noticed that, too? 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #36

Would that mean Comey supports Snowden??? Or that Snowden supporters are pro-Hillary? floppyboo Jul 2016 #44

NO ... those DUers wishing upon the HRC Indictment fairy were/are very supportive of Snowden. 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #54

That is the part of this that disgusts me most. nolawarlock Jul 2016 #91

Yup, yup, and yup. The most morally bankrupt Hortensis Jul 2016 #112

Good golly Miss Molly! sheshe2 Jul 2016 #140

Same here Gothmog Jul 2016 #125

I'm good. I'm taking July off in real life politically ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #127

In comparison, I am about to OD on politics for July Gothmog Jul 2016 #136

I noticed that, too obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #47

"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey MADem Jul 2016 #81

Absolutely its a victory... a victory for common sense and fairness. DCBob Jul 2016 #17

he did not say she isnt a criminal, he said it would not be easy to indict so far larkrake Jul 2016 #156

If there was a crime he would have recommended legal action. DCBob Jul 2016 #158

there are degrees of criminality. He can not prosecute without solid proof of intent larkrake Jul 2016 #163

I think she is completely innocent of anything resembling a crime. DCBob Jul 2016 #164

you are entitled to your opinion, and intent was never implied by Comey or me larkrake Jul 2016 #165

Intent is critical to making it a crime. DCBob Jul 2016 #167

that is just another mistake, less damaging than the previous mistakes larkrake Jul 2016 #168

I dont think it had anything to do with "secrecy". It was about convenience and control. DCBob Jul 2016 #169

control of what? larkrake Jul 2016 #172

Server and system. DCBob Jul 2016 #173

that is secrecy larkrake Jul 2016 #174

Not to me. Secrecy implies hiding something she shouldn't be hiding. DCBob Jul 2016 #176

then we have to agree to disagree, it is a habit over several years larkrake Jul 2016 #177

And didn't happen nt Cordy Jul 2016 #204

It has nothing to do with friends in high places creeksneakers2 Jul 2016 #201

sour grapes are bitter nt geek tragedy Jul 2016 #18

Yes, I do. What else could they say, we wasted months La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #23

It's always a bad sign when you have to make stuff up to support an argument. lapucelle Jul 2016 #33

I didn't make anything up... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #121

Yes it is. The consequence was the investigation. ehrnst Jul 2016 #38

I agree -- she was treated differently obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #49

Boy, this going well huh TC? underpants Jul 2016 #56

It's going as expected. TCJ70 Jul 2016 #63

No prob underpants Jul 2016 #65

Are you making these criticisms in order to help Hillary become a better candidate per the rules? nolawarlock Jul 2016 #89

Hah! The Republican FBI director just couldn't resist adding his politically-motivated pnwmom Jul 2016 #94

Poor you. Squinch Jul 2016 #137

If he could demonstrate that she broke a law, then he would have. pnwmom Jul 2016 #152

Yes,there are bigger issues to take care of. Wellstone ruled Jul 2016 #10

Wow, how could I have forgotten that tidbit? Suggest you make this an OP. Hekate Jul 2016 #15

IMO, it would be better not to gloat. Vinca Jul 2016 #71

Compared to that smug certainty that she would be indicted, meh. Zynx Jul 2016 #72

We'll see. I fully expect Trump to start running on the promise of bringing charges. Vinca Jul 2016 #73

Sure, as long as the judge doesn't have 'Mexican Heritage' emulatorloo Jul 2016 #75

You think a candidate vowing to throw the opposition in prison makes for an attractive geek tragedy Jul 2016 #93

The wishes of the indictment wishers were not granted. DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2016 #175

This Bernie supporter never thought she would or should be indicted. Vattel Jul 2016 #160

My suggestion to you is to que the video of the entire press conference. peace13 Jul 2016 #178

Ultimately, the only thing that matters is if there were criminal charges or not. Zynx Jul 2016 #199

So in other words you admit to being a poor winner, which is worse than a sore loser. hobbit709 Jul 2016 #184
