Cover-Up Concluded: FBI Director Comey: Hillary Broke the Law But We're Not Recommending Criminal Charges Because YOLO

I assume this is when Comey will announce that his play-acting is over and he's officially whitewashing the Hillary Clinton crime spree, but we'll see.

Livestream here.

He confirms that about 800 emails contained information that was classified at the time it was sent, and another 2000 were up-classified since they were sent.

He claims that the work-related emails that were deleted weren't "intentionally" deleted in order to conceal them. He's making an excuses as to why the lawyers deleted them.

He's now making the case that she negligently handled classified information and any reasonable person in her position should have known that.

Now he's claiming that despite the law-breaking, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges.

The cover-up is now finished.

Fuck Comey, fuck the New Rome.

Bizarrely, he claimed that in the future, they may prosecute people for exactly what Hillary did -- but they're not prosecuting hillary.

It's just a special "the law does not apply to this person" ruling.

41 Probably just another statement on stuff they've found and been working on, without any momentum or purpose. I'm sure there are still some good, hard-working people in the FBI trying to find justice, but after Clinton and Obama, my guess is not many.

Remember, Clinton had 8 years to promote and hire people all across government and Bush did not clean house. So those guys are in positions of authority by now. Obama has been doing the same thing.

264 Did Hillary ever lose her security clearance? Would anyone else keep a security clearance on these facts, or survive a Senate confirmation process?

What's shocking is that many of the statutes don't require intent, but there was intent. So Comey says it was careless, not reckless, when there was intent.

This is WHY you have to play unfair, rough, and put everything on table. The good boy Republican routine is not going to get it done against Hillary. So Trump may not be your cup of tea, but once again the GOP better learn how to be more like Trump. Just come out and accuse the FBI of a cover up, attack Hillary for being incompetent, etc.

That is the ONLY rational play you have against the progs, but the typical good boy wing of the GOP will go "oh shucks the FBI has spoken" and then bring up free trade and low taxes for the rich.

I'm seriously ready to do this:


http://bit.ly/1jBa7l4


Nothing matters. It's blatant, blatant open corruption for which We The People have no recourse at least not in a type which does not involve buckets of blood.

I give up. I really do. I don't particularly see the point in even caring about politics or any of this any longer because we are now openly living in a feudal system for which there is no non-terrifying end in sight.

I'm a child. I'm as cockeyed optimistic as Lucy (the late lamented BFF) said I was. Because I believed. I believed in the rule of law. I believed that no one was above it all. Yes, yes, there will be times that people get away with things but those were dark stains on the annals of justice, not something to be celebrated.

No more. The FBI just point blank let the world know that rules are for the little people and there is nothing the little people can do about it.

I give up. I do.

I've read history. I know how this story ends. I don't want to be mowed down in the first wave and I will be.

I despair. I despair.

When one of the marines who are occupying The Rock questions Ed Harris' character after he deliberately destroys one of the launched rockets he says "Great. We're not gutless, we're incompetent." in the eyes of the forces trying to retake the island.

So Cankles the Crooked can now announce "Great. I'm not criminal, I'm incompetent." to those trying to retake the Presidency, and cruise into the oval office.

Fuck the United States. There is absolutely nothing left that ever remotely resembles the country founded in 1776 and build on the Constitution. It is totally and completely gone. Where there were once laws passed by Congress, upheld by the Executive, interpret according the Constitution by the Judiciary, and applied by juries... we now have a massive swath of unelected and unaccountable career beaurocrats who make "rules" and "interpretations" and who are only loosely accountable to a dictator who's primary role is vacationing and hanging out with "interesting" people and who is selected by a small group of financiers and career politicans every 4 years.

563 Read a little story on a conspiracy theory site.

Headline was this: Insider Claims Knowledge on Clinton Investigation: Entire Government Is Treasonous.

Here are some of the major points:

1. Says the FBI case is stalled, heads up are deciding what to present,
but presenting the entire case as it is would implode government at all
levels.



2. Cites that after looking into emails, they found data on the Clinton
Foundation, and it's where the real story is, but that the media is
diverting
attention to the emails.



3. Claims the Russians have leaks which indict the CF and almost every
level of government which has interacted with it, even Trump.

FYI, they say Trump has minimal exposure, and if he gets elected, Hillary will go to prison.

BTW, this story was posted yesterday. Here is the original BB forum link:

Those are the enemies who have overturned the Republic.

Do the math. There is absolutely no way to deal with these people through an election process.

There are only 3 possible solutions left:
1. Secession
2. Revolution
3. All of the above

Or SMOD, but I'm through putting my hopes in external saviors of any kind.

only did she mishandle classified information, but she deleted evidence

By not pursuing charges, the FBI is saying it's ok to do all of these
things. Mishandle classified data... set up your own server for
official govt business.. obstruct and ongoing investigation.. and delete
evidence pertaining to an ongoing investigation. There's numerous

771 I think I found the right statute, and its 18 USC 798, which has an intent requirement of knowing or willfully passing classified material to a 3rd party. That's a higher burden than reckless, and a bit harder to prove, but I think on these facts, anyone else would be in front of a judge. There's definitely a case to be made that this was more than just reckless.

On a side note, WTF, it's perfectly legal to be reckless with classified info? You can be aware of and disregard the risk that the info will be compromised, and walk free? What the fucking fuck? Who wrote that law, Julius Rosenberg?

823 Obama is plainly not a Christian. His confession is completely at odds with Christianity, his definition of sin, etc. He's not a Christian even if he sort of claims to be one, when he's talking to certain groups.

Hillary I don't know. I haven't seen her talk about what she believes or what her confession is about God and faith and sin. I don't even know if she claims to be a Christian, for that matter. I'd be astonished if she did at this point.

But Christians can wander awfully far away as lost sheep before Christ gathers them back in. Consider King David, sleeping with a neighbor's wife while ignoring his other wives, and sending her husband to die while not being in the battle like he was supposed to be. God brought him back.

Who knows? All that matters is that we can trust God to know what He is doing, even when we cannot see it or understand it.

Nothing. Lynch was NEVER, EVER going to prosecute Hillary, she did not need convincing.

Lynch said she would do whatever the FBI recomended. Comey says no one knew what he was about to say, which is bullshit. She knew. Obama knew, that is why he announced the joint appearance in NC YESTERDAY. Not today.

I do trust God and I pray for Hillary's repentance and conversion and that of Obama every day, so yes, she may be a Christian. She was raised as one. No believer is a perfect Christian. I'm certainly far from being one. Sometimes my fruit of the Spirit is minuscule if it's there at all. I struggle with patience-among other things, but I can't see that Hillary is full of the fruit of the Spirit, so if she claims Jesus as Lord and Savior and wishes to follow Him, her discipleship has much room for improvement, in my judgmental opinion. :^)

It will be interesting to see if he gets a bump in the polls. I do think there is a big silent majority out there of people who won't claim to support Trump but will pull the lever for him anyway. And today's announcement will be a big reason why.

914 This is why God tells the people of Israel that while all those rituals and sacrifices are fine, what He really desires in worship is simple:

Love mercy
Do justice
Walk humbly before the Lord.

You can't require mercy, it ceases to be merciful if its compulsory. But you can require justice, and God absolutely demands that.

Without justice, there is no culture, no civilization, no freedom, no future for a people. Without justice, there is no nation.

What stops Hillary will be she has so many factions to pay off and the only ones with liquid property are government agencies and workers.

I blame JIT, Off shoring and earlier pillages. Might have worked if they had got this done in the 1990s or early 2000s time frame. We have just went through seven years of destroying wealth. Obama's supporters are about to find out how much he has impoverished them.

978 "God helps those who helps themselves" is not in the Bible. It may have come from Aesop or may have been attributed to Ben Franklin. The Bible has a lot of nice proverbs about the importance of working hard, but it also says, God helps the helpless" So I'm not sure what you mean in this instance. What are you suggesting?

We often think our careful plans are what God intends for our own life and for that of the world, when it may not be. My reading of the Bible tells me that as a I Christian I am required to submit everything to God's control and then as I am given thewisdom and direction God gives for my life to follow, to follow itI'm not supposed to sit on my fanny and wait for God to do everything, no

As this all just happened I can say, "This is unjust and unfair" which it is Human justice often is. I haven't been given any sign about what to do about it other than that right , so I just need to do the things that God has given me to do now.

Yes.

Trump has many flaws, but Hillary opposes the notion of rule of law, and her election is a specific referendum on the notion there are no limits on what the government can do.

Imagine if Nixon did not resign, but instead ran for a third term in 1976 on the platform that he had the right to use the government against his domestic political opponents and that the Constitution in the form of the 22nd Amendment has no control over him?

1000 The leaks were right. Remember when they mentioned that things were looking good for Hillary because there was no evidence of "intent"? I scoffed at that (as many did) because the standard under the Espionage Act is gross negligence.

1013 Perhaps to lighten the mood somewhat, we should talk about other things like DIY projects.


I am thinking that it ought to be possible to make a .32 caliber blow back pistol with an aluminum frame made from melted down aluminum cans and a sheet steel slide made from an old shovel. The bore of a .32 ACP barrel is .312 inches which is the same as the bore diameter of the .303 British, 7.92 X 57 mm Mauser and 7.62 X 39 mm Kalashnikov which suggests that you could obtain one of those rifle barrels and saw it up to make several pistol barrels.


I am not suggesting that .32 ACP is the ultimate defensive pistol cartridge but I think that real world experience has shown it to be more effective than ballistics would suggest and that it should be possible to make a home made repeating pistol chambered for that round that would be reliable and not dangerous to the person shooting it. More powerful cartridges would be less forgiving.

The whole point of the private e-mail server, which she knew was insecure (because she was told it was insecure), was so that she could avoid turning over those e-mails when there were FOIA requests. Hillary's intent was to break the law (re classified documents) so that she could evade the law (FOIA).

Comey saying that Hillary had no intent to break the law doesn't pass the giggle test.

3) Lied about wiping her server
4) Lied about, hail, what has she not lied about???? Where was I? Lied about removal of Vince Foster's papers.
5) Lied about Whitewater
6) Lied about her hidden deals for hedge fund sin-in-law
7) Lied about Bill during the Monica daze
9) Lied about...or "misspoke" about Clinton Foundation Corruption (or maybe she has not done this yet)
10) Lied about Cattle Futures (which seems so minor now)

Traditionally prayer works in the long run.
To me it is a waste of time to try to bring Hillary to justice.
Hillary is a symptom of the times.
I'm praying Hillary is removed as a threat and competent people can assume office again without requiring War and Hardship.
That our country can continue as a happy place where people work together and create abundance.
Where despicable people are marginalized and shunned until they change their ways or die.

Pray that private property rights are respected again and that selfish narcissist are removed from public office.

Back when I was a young intel geek, if I'd committed one-tenth of the
security violations that she has, they'd have locked me under
Leavenworth, lost the key, and fed me rice and fishheads for the rest of
my life.



Knew of an E-8 that gundecked his security inspections in the last
few months before he retired. When his "lapses" came to light, they
recalled him to active duty, court-martialed his sorry ass, busted him
to E-1, and gave him a dishonorable discharge, thereby throwing out his
entire retirement.



Of course, he never compromised classified information. Maybe that was the difference.

1071 The term "gun deck" is also navy slang for fabricating or falsifying
something. Some say the origin of the term dates to the practice of
painting images of cannon ports
on the side of a ship to make it appear to have more guns than it
actually did, and thereby convincing any adversaries that they were
outgunned, forgoing engagement. A more plausible explanation relates to midshipmen retiring to the gun deck to complete their celestial navigation assignments of computing the ship's position three times daily following morning star sights,
noon sun line, and evening star sights. While some midshipmen might be
conscientious about computing positions from new observations, others
were reputed to extrapolate and back calculate observation data from dead reckoning courses and speeds since earlier observations; and the actual computations performed on the gun deck were suspect.

And Ryan's complete statement:

"While I respect the law enforcement professionals at the FBI, this announcement defies explanation. No one should be above the law. But based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law. Declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent. The findings of this investigation also make clear that Secretary Clinton misled the American people when she was confronted with her criminal actions. While we need more information about how the Bureau came to this recommendation, the American people will reject this troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment."

I recall reading a study years ago suggesting circumstantial evidence was far superior than direct evidence. To simplify it (from my recollection) - if you had a bunch of circumstantial facts and each was 50/50 as to whether guilty or innocent, when you add them together, it doesn't take long to get to something like 99% guilt.

I've also read that the CSI effect is real.

Its actually worse.

You can't actually fire most DC employees. They're in contracts and protected positions. And they were Reagan and Bush appointees, who refused to resign. The Clintons not only wanted to clean house, but use the travel office as their own personal party train. How can they rip off the public and abuse their position if those damn bureaucrats keep blowing the whistle and saying "no"?

So she came up with these fake charges to get rid of them and put in more... amenable people.

The administration once again demonstrates its corrupt nature.

And that's the fault of people who aren't planning to vote for Trump?

That's just stupid.

1282 This proves that the system is rigged.

Now we find out if anyone cares (not enough).

What will stop Hillary is the financial crisis seemingly can't be held off till after the election.

If the Federal Reserve doesn't get in there and pump up stuff Hillary will replace them if she does manage to win in spite of a collapse. Hillary isn't noted for forgiving small slights.

I would not risk it if I was the Fed. Either take her out and soak her in water (Wizzard of Oz) or start chanting all-we-owe-we-owe-her.

Now, figuring that Hilz le Haggard Hapless Harridan is done wore out from all the vast right wing conspiracy. Wut does it matter anymore? Her drinking and stress have caught up to her in her face (see 2008 til now). Her face reads like tree rings...one for Benghazi, one for emails, one for Foundation, one for Monica, etc. She is also ill in one shape or another, and no amount of plastic surgery and yanking back the sags are gonna help her. Then there is the *cough* and cankles and weird gait with right arm swinging like a pendulum. Karma has bit her on her tunic butt. However! The cancer goes back to all branches of government that keep her plodding on, like Godzilla in a pantsuit. xoxo

1296 Now do you understand what it means to be a Democrat?

Laws don't apply to you.

That's a big advantage when running for office, because the Press also covers for Democrats as a general rule.

Yes. I can't understand why some posters are in an uproar for his tweet. He told us Texans that he was going to DC to fight Obamacare. He continues to keep his promise. Guess you gotta be from Texas to see it this way.

My two cents--I think Comey damaged Hillary. I worry about voter fraud more than ever now.

Posted by: jazzuscounty at July 05, 2016 02:38 PM (iRHb1)

1301 Rush is on hoping Trump will run with Comey's comments, but I have no hope riding on Trump.
All you will here tonight and forward from the MSM is Hillary didn't do anything wrong, nothing else will pass the ears of the uninformed voters and leftists everywhere.

1304 Maybe I'm reading between the lines too much, but here's what I got: because a lot of people knew of the private server( high level like 0bama, intel agency heads etc.) Hillary is too big to fail and if Trump wins and appoints a new AG, reasonable prosecutors could be found to try the case.

1306 Hey, morons. Off topic, but I have been reading Coonts new book, "Liberty's Last Stand." It has slightly changed Barry's last name, but hits every one of the major ideas in Democrat world. Barry imposes martial law after a muslim attack and it goes downhill from there with Texas leading the charge in declaring it's independence from the USA. It's a wild ride. Give it a look. Steven Coonts - Liberty's Last Stand.

Posted by: Tim Pruett at July 05, 2016 03:32 PM (FQ/17)

1307 The question that nobody seems to be asking is whether there is a "pissing contest" ongoing as to who will take up the mantle of being the one to say Hillary should be indicted.

The AG's conduct with Bill Clinton reeks of "I don't want to be the Democrat who calls for Hillary's indictment." The AG said as much over the weekend when she said she would take the advice of the the FBI. Mr Comey's song and dance today reeks of "I don't want to be the Republican who calls for Hillary's indictment." We all know this is political as hell and the Democrats would love to have a Republican FBI director call for the criminal indictment of the nominee of the Democratic Party.

The ball is now in the court of the DOJ, which we all know is full of raving Democrats. Will they let it stand that somebody can exercise such reckless behaviour and not even be indicted, or will they stand for the "rule of law" ? That too will be used politically if nothing is done.

The quick and easy solution .. a Special Persecutor, who would take time to come up to speed .. like till after November.

Equal Justice under Law is no longer permitted. Time to alter, abolish and institute new government. Screw Comey, the FBI and Panem.

1313 So a lawyer, former first lady, senator and secretary of state, who signed papers on how to handle email and other communication was deemed to be "extremely careless in the handling of very sensitive, highly classified information"- but hey she did not INTEND to be- it just comes naturally?! and if you just vote for her as president where she can handle even MORE sensitive and classified information, she will do better- swearsies.

Posted by: Terri at July 05, 2016 08:26 PM (Wsnbt)

1314 I'm not a lawyer, but to me having the server shows intent. The only way it wouldn't is if she believed she would not be sending and/or receiving e-mails containing classified info. I would imagine she was given a brief stating she would be dealing with classified e-mails before she started the job. For the sake of argument let's say she was too stupid to know she would be dealing with classified e-mails. As soon as she received one she should have switched to a secure server but she didn't. Again showing intent. And if she originated an e-mail containing classified info and didn't switch to a secure server she showed intent again. Can anybody with a legal background tell me if I make sense or am I off in the weeds?

Posted by: beck at July 06, 2016 04:14 AM (CcIgv)

1315 I wonder, did Obama insist that Comey deliver his "Declaration of Serfdom" the day after the "Declaration of Independence" anniversary?
