The Comey announcement fallout: what now for Hillary and Trump? — 60 Comments

  1. I know you always rush to defend your Democrat friends, but let’s be honest. They have no souls. They care not one bit about whether the means to an end or the character of a candidate matters. All that really matters to them is getting their way, and obtaining and keeping as much control over the lives of others as they can realistically achieve.
    They long ago lost any semblance of personal character, as evidenced by their voting.

    I don’t care how much they pretend to care about the “little people” or about any of the dozens of special interest groups who gladly, unthinkingly lick the boots of the leaders of the left. All of their so-called good intentions have kept inner city children in the worst learning environments imaginable. They have failed to create an atmosphere in which those with the means and the right ideas will consider it worth the risk to open new businesses or hire new workers.

    They chose to hamstring economic recovery and the futures of our younger generations in order to pass a fiscally unsupportable healthcare bill based on lie upon lie upon lie. And then patted themselves of the back for having so successfully twisted arms and hoodwinked enough of the electorate.

    I just wish I were young enough, smart enough, or rich enough to be able to consider someplace else to ride out this national farce.

  2. And now I’ve switched again.

    Trump is a ridiculous moron and his supporters are obnoxious chimps, but corruption this rank can’t go unpunished let alone rewarded.

    Now I have to vote for Trump.

    My conscience will be soothed somewhat if he promises to prosecute her.

  3. Biggest winner is David Kendall. He completely deleted and destroyed 30,000 emails that if they would have seen the light of day would have seen his client in jail and politically ruined.

    Giant celebration in NYC tonight. Tomorrow the bill for $2m goes into the mail.

  4. I know that some LIVs and feminists won’t pay attention to what Comey said. That is why there has to be a constsnt and comprehensive attack. Her offenses have to be made personal for the voters. College students have to pay for Clinton speaking fees. Glass ceilings don’t mean much to nurses or hairdressers. Raising the minimum wage won’t much help those who can’t get a fulll-time job. All of Hillary’s ideas will profit the safely middle class more than the poor. That has to be made clear to voters.

  5. So here’s my next question.

    There must be a draft indictment. There’s no way the FBI did all this research and went through the entire process without writing and formalizing a draft indictment.

    Will that draft indictment leak, and if so, when?

  6. Matt_SE:

    I do agree that one demographic that might go towards Trump as a result of this is conservative Republicans who could not previously bring themselves to vote for him. This is so egregious it could drive those people towards him in desperation.

  7. This is why I’ve been saying for some time now that Trump’s warts are irrelevant. The election is not a beauty contest, but a contest for survival.
    Voting for Trump is not only essential, it is mandatory.

    Hillary was never worried. Tells you something.

  8. neo-neocon:

    If Trump were smart, he could parlay this into a wider argument against the corruption of the elites. That would appeal to more than just conservatives.

    There has been no more recent, blatant reminder that insiders have a separate law just for them.

  9. P.S. Such an argument would have added force because I doubt Trump will be given such lenience in his case.

  10. Trump is ill suited to exploit emailgate beyond tweets. He has no self-discipline, the character of a 3rd grade loudmouth, and his own baggage that the msm will exploit 24/7. To hope failure to recommend indictment will bring voters to support the donald is wishful thinking.

    So what if people like me choke back the bile and vote for djt? The feel the bern voters and the sit on the fence voters are not going to suddenly think djt is a sane, steady hand who should sit in the Oval Office. The clinton/msm/hollywood juggernaut will crush him.

  11. Frog,

    It doesn’t matter how I vote. Trump is a loser. Hrc could be caught on video roasting an aborted baby for Thanksgiving and the so called progressives would ask for the recipe.

  12. I feel like we are truly living in a banana republic now.

    The choice is between a criminal and a buffoon. Even though I too was fully expecting this, and was previously leaning toward sitting out this election, I’m thinking I might take my chances with the buffoon.

  13. I hear that Trump’s kids are smart and savvy, and that they do have some influence. Hopefully, they tell him to keep his mouth shut and let the surrogates handle this.

    Giuiiani is already out there with a strong statement. Others with Prosecutorial or judicial credentials can be recruited.

    I should think that all Trump needs to say is something along the lines of “is anyone surprised?”.

  14. expat,

    The activist game is – and has always been since the Founding Fathers won our nation in an activist game – the only social cultural/political game there is.

    Neo:
    “I do agree that one demographic that might go towards Trump as a result of this is conservative Republicans who could not previously bring themselves to vote for him.”

    Logically, this happening should push “conservative Republicans” to collectively organize as the social activist movement that’s basically necessary for a viable 3rd option to compete for the social dominance required to reify their preferred social paradigm, including American rule of law.

    Unfortunately, despite their professed fidelity to the Founding Fathers who were essentially activist, modern conservative Republicans value their dis-competitive aversion to activism above all professed principles.

    So, rather than take the always available power of the people upon themselves by collectively adopting the activism that’s necessary to compete for their preferred social paradigm in the only social cultural/political game there is, they’ll submit to the social activist movement in the arena that’s a different side of the same dis-civic coin as the other social activist movement in the arena.

  15. Comey joins David Kendall at Williams & Connolly when he finishes his term at the FBI.

  16. Trump it is then.

    And I’d like to be able to tell Mr Cilliza to his face that an even sterner rebuke to Hillary would have been, you know, an indictment. Effin’ Jackwagon.

  17. The social activist game isn’t the only game in town. There are others, but they’re less obvious and less viscerally self-satisfying.

  18. Forgive me, I haven’t had time to read all the comments but has anyone said a “bevy of 30 seconds ads” cost a lot of money. Does Trump have this money? The mainstream media certainly won’t be playing Comey’s comments any more than they have to.

  19. I wish I could tell Mr. Cillizza that a better way to rebuke Hillary would be a, you know, INDICTMENT.

    Well, I guess I’ll hold my nose and vote for Trump.

    So, so correct.

    Also,
    FBI Director Comey (emphasis added):

    The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her e-mails, as we did for those available to us; instead, they relied on header information and used search terms to try to find all work-related e-mails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total e-mails remaining on Secretary Clinton’s personal system in 2014. It is highly likely their search terms missed some work-related e-mails, and that we later found them, for example, in the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server.

    It is also likely that there are other work-related e-mails that they did not produce to State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all e-mails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.

    We have conducted interviews and done technical examination to attempt to understand how that sorting was done by her attorneys. Although we do not have complete visibility because we are not able to fully reconstruct the electronic record of that sorting, we believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that sorting effort.

    And, water at 65ºF is not wet.

  21. Neo; that second to last paragraph of yours:

    “But the vast majority . . . ”

    Living in a purple state and working in a blue state, I hear all those excuses that you list – every day!

    Hillary could (has someone commented above) roast an aborted baby and her supporters would ask for the recipe.

    And has been said (by Trump himself) that he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Ave. and not lose voters.

    I’d like to propose an amendment to our constitution – no major party presidential candidates, no Supreme Court nominees for the next 20 years from any major US city. Let’s get some small-town common sense back into our government. (Hey, we can all dream, can’t we?)

  22. As I watched Director Comey selling a dummy, I was reminded of a few lines from The Matrix. “You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.”

  23. “But the vast majority of Democrats, low information voting Independents, and the like, will not care one whit about the details of Comey’s speech. They will read the headlines, learn that Hillary’s not going to indicted, and translate that into “she’s innocent” or “what a tempest in a teapot” or “what difference, after all, does it make?” And many will tell themselves exactly and precisely what Cillizza thinks the Comey statement ought to put to rest: the idea that “this whole thing was a Republican witch-hunt pushed by a bored and adversarial media.”

    I hope I’m wrong on that last bit

    You aren’t.

    My DiL, a lovely, caring, compassionate, intelligent woman (not a demon; sorry, OlderandWheezier) has nonetheless said to my face: “But she hasn’t been charged with anything, so what’s the problem?”
    And there are far, far, far too many voter with the same attitude, because they just can’t see themselves as Meany Republicans — even when they are 90% conservative in every other way.

    WE ARE DOOMED.

  24. If Trump or a PAC actually mounts an effective campaign of ads exposing Hillary’s lies and contradictions it may lessen turnout for her in Nov.

    But I continue to think that it will be the frequency and severity of terrorist attacks that will be the determination factor.

  25. AesopFAn – how intelligent can she really be, if she can’t comprehend why there’s so much more to this issue than whether or not charges were filed?

  26. Matt, Trump is an old bag. And he’s been a Democrat for some odd decades now. Expecting him to clean out the system is rather funny.

    But hey, that’s the benefit of Christian free agency and free will. You don’t have to choose A or B, so long as you choose the Right. Because you’ll be the one suffering from the consequences of your decision. Isn’t free will great, until the Left sustains Slavery 3.0 on this earth at least.

  27. For those that don’t know my history here, my position on Trump or Cruz or Palin or whatever was “Vote your Conscience”.

    Why? Because it won’t matter for the war of good and evil. CW II is inevitable, after all. Whether you vote A or B, just changes the timing a little bit.

    * * *
    I said she was intelligent; I didn’t say she was smart.
    And, she doesn’t read neo’s blog 😉

  29. They are like horses with blinders on: they can’t see the snakes and alligators on the side of the road, all they can see is the carrot ahead. For some the carrot is “choice” , for others its “equal pay for women” for others its “first woman president”. It’s hard to fight that.

  30. I do not WANT to vote for Trump. After reading as much as I could of what he said, I have joined Never Hillary and the closest way to try to stop her is only to vote for Trump.I’ll hate myself afterwards but Hillary will be much worse.

  31. “Former Ronald Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins has joined the primary super PAC backing Donald Trump’s presidential bid. Rollins, whom Benton called a “deeply trusted, deeply respected” figure in Republican politics, will help lend more credence to the Great America PAC’s efforts as it looks to build out an operation to help Trump.”

    Rollins was on TV earlier today. He is saying that Trump should stick to talking about the economy and terrorism and let his surrogates take care of the anti-Hillary ads.

    The Comey explanation of Hillary’s extreme carelessness juxtaposed with Hillary’s serial lies about her e-mail operations is tailor-made for attack ads to show her mendacity. The PAC has the money to make and run the ads.

    Comey’s position on this may be a gift to the GOP. His open revelation of incriminating evidence followed by a weasely explanation for not recommending indictment, could provide the ad content which will undo Hillary’s campaign. On the other hand it most likely is a reflection of how powerful the progressive (actually the Soros) machine is. When supposedly honest men (Roberts and now Comey) commit inexplicable acts, it appears to be from a position of fear.

    We used to be a nation that respected the rule of law. That has been changing at least since the days of the William J. Clinton administration. They were notorious for applying the Leona Helmsley criteria (“We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.”) to their government service. Broke (according to HRC) when they left the WH, they have used their positions as former President and Senator/SOS to build a fortune of an estimated $110million in 16 years. Neither Clinton has held a private sector job, created any jobs, started any businesses, or created any wealth during those 16 years. The money has primarily come to them through selling their influence. The Clinton Foundation is a criminal enterprise that helps them to peddle influence and maintain a coterie of supporting grifters.

    It appears that Obama and Clinton are laughing at the “toothless” FBI with their joint appearance on the day the FBI announced no indictment. They are now so sure of their power being untouchable there is no pretense anymore.

    Yes, we are in Banana Republic territory now.

  32. JJ,

    Yes we used to be, and yes we are 7/05/16 a banana republic. Sharpen knives, stock up on subsonic 22LRs, buy a few 22 oz hammers. A good hammer is your friend.

  33. Re the reference above to the Clinton presidency: I still think the fatal step was taken more than 20 years ago when the Democrats, given a choice between telling Bill that once he had committed perjury he had to go, and adopting his own “Well then we just have to win” approach (I’m sure anyone around then remembers that), they chose the latter, circled the wagons, and by their actions stated that they believed it acceptable for a Democrat to lie under oath.

  34. Mac:

    I agree that the Democrats supporting Clinton, rather than deserting him and asking him (as the Republicans did with Nixon) to leave, was a big turning point.

    But I take issue with the idea that Clinton committed perjury. He actually did not, as I’ve explained several times. Please see this, for example, and the links contained therein.

  35. And then along comes Trump, on today of all days, praising Saddam Hussein:

    “He was a bad guy — really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn’t read them the rights. They didn’t talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism,” Trump said.

    The remarks came during a rally where he was introduced by Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who is a potential running mate for Trump.

    Asked Tuesday night on Fox News about the comments, House Speaker Paul Ryan appeared taken aback by Trump’s words.

    “He was one of the 20th century’s most evil people,” Ryan said of the former Iraqi strongman.

    The Clinton campaign jumped on the remarks, with senior campaign adviser Jake Sullivan saying “Trump’s praise for brutal strongmen seemingly knows no bounds.”
    “Trump yet again lauded Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists, noting with approval that he never bothered to read anyone their rights,” Sullivan said in a statement, after noting Trump has also praised North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

  36. It was interesting to see the news coverage live-in-action.

    Per our nightly news on local channel 9 (I think that’s NBC…):

    Picture of Hillary
    Caption underneath: “FBI Findings Contradict Claims”
    Voiceover sz Hillary admits that “using that email server was a mistake”
    Voiceover notes that Obama said just today that “nobody has ever been as qualified” as Clinton for the office of President
    Then a picture of Petraeus, and voiceover saying how he was punished for letting his biographer access sensitive information, “but Clinton’s mistake was not intentional”.

    So- the local newsdudes can say they covered both sides of the argument (“Yes others *have* been punished for doing the same thing”) but of course, obviously, in the MSM universe, the Clintons never, NO SIR! never-EVER!, would do anything wrong. … Not , heh, “intentionally”. (Nudge-nudge, wink-wink.)

    And the whitewash is complete. Next topic, expect warmer temps across the region tomorrow, blah-blah.

    I think despair is a reasonable reaction to today’s events.

  37. Finally got to see the announcement entire. My strong impression was that Comey was really saying “She’s guilty, she’s guilty, she’s guilty, she’s guilty . . . and they’re holding my children hostage.”

    Ah well, to misquote Proverbs 21:15, “When justice is done, it is a surprise to the righteous.”

  38. Richard Saunders — Same here. And it wouldn’t surprise me a bit of he was having his feet held to the fire about something. His children, an affair, his future… hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if it were even his life. “Nice breathing you got there. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to it.”

    One of my stalwart Dem Facebook friends is of course praising Hill to the moon today. Because, dontcha know, Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact deemed her the most fundamental honest of the politicians.

    Excuse me while I go barf…

    And that’s why I don’t think any of this will matter to her supporters. Which include most of the media. Parker’s right — but then according to the same ilk, an aborted baby isn’t a baby at aal. Hell, she could be found pulling the knife out of someone she just killed, and she’d said, “What knife? This isn’t a knife. Oh, you mean THIS knife. I found it here. I was going to take him to the er. He’s dead? No. I was never here. I came along after you did…”

  39. What Matt_SE wrote on July 5th, 2016 at 5:08 pm and eeyore wrote on July 5th, 2016 at 10:17 pm.

    I will hate myself. But I see no other option but to jump off this cliff.

    Clinton is guilty as sin. But apparently she is above the law. How is it a good idea to have that as a president?

  40. What is remarkable about the Clinton emails is how little “classified” information was present. Yes she did purge some, but my thinking is she got and sent very little sensitive information via email. This is partly due to the fact that a lot of information would be available to her via the State department intranet (secure) but mostly that she was a placeholder in the office. She was appointed as a gesture by Obama but they both hate each other. She was continually traveling to create the appearance of activity while the real foreign policy was conducted out of the White house. Any argument against her record should be that she accomplished nothing while on the job. She was sidelined and had nothing to do but fill the Clinton Foundation coffers.

  41. “the idea that “this whole thing was a Republican witch-hunt pushed by a bored and adversarial media.”
    I hope I’m wrong on that last bit.”

    Sorry Neo, I was listening to C-Span Washington Journal this morning until I upchucked and had to return to WMAL.

    All of the callers, and I make the jump that these are not low information voters but have some intelligence and reasoning power- talked about Hillary being for women and this was just a republican witch hunt. No awareness of the damage done to the nation , no awareness of Clinton Cash, Bimbo Eruption War room.
    And then dumbass Trump can’t think far enough in front of his face to realize you don’t say Hussein knew how to deal with terrorists because the MSM will portray it as “Trump praises ‘terrorist killer’ Saddam Hussein”

    It may well be we will experience what Reagan warned us about given the evil on one side and incompetence on the other. 🙁
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
    Ronald Reagan

  42. “All of the callers”,– correction All of the Democratic callers and about a 1/3 of the “independents”,

  43. The Democratic National Committee’s “Counter Convention Plan Sketch” covers 22 pages and outlines the party’s activities in Cleveland, where the Republican convention begins July 18. Democratic operatives will launch their operation a week earlier, on July 11, to coincide with the opening of the RNC’s summer meeting.

    A copy of the plan was obtained by the hacker “Guccifer 2.0,” who breached party servers and made off with DNC financial records, e-mails, research reports, and other documents. In e-mails to TSG, “Guccifer 2.0” has claimed to be a Romanian “hacktivist,” though security researchers who have examined the DNC breach have said that the infiltration appears to be the work of a Russian espionage unit.

  44. DityJobsGuy,
    I think you are on to something about Hillary’s role in Obama’s foreign policy. Only in her backing of taking out Gaddafi did she probably have a real say, and then she was wrong. What in the hell were all those other emails about? Yoga?

  45. Ann,
    Someone needs to supply Trump’s family and aides with duct tape to keep his mouth safely closed. I’d feel better if there is a 4-year supply.

  46. At least now i know why i cant earn raises or promotions if the upper echelon of my workplace is as surface focused as most of the people here are on trump… they actually make no sense in that they imagine what has never happend in his 70 years… and part of those years negotiating with the chicoms, and many other states… not once has there ever been news that his bombast has ever blown up a meeting or deal or anyting like that… so what makes you think that after 70 years he changed? or is it that your just looking at how you feel personally in the MTV look pretty, care not about substance, age of fake images?

    by the way, the left is watching trump like hawks so everything he says reaches them… you should go on the sites, they have NOTHING to use… the DNC plan was to make fun of his finger size… really? you guys think hillary has a chance when the worst real thing that they can come up with is bombast and finger sizes impugning small penis?

    Giuliani: Trump’s Attorney General Could Still Indict Hillary Clinton [Duh]

    It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the system is totally rigged!

    I believe that Crooked Hillary sent Bill to have the meeting with the U.S.A.G. So Bill is not in trouble with H except that he got caught!

    Bill Clinton committed a major political blunder when he had an unplanned meeting with Attorney General Loretta E Lynch at an airport in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s not known what Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch discussed, but the fact that the Justice Department is investigating his wife was enough for people to draw a conclusion. In fact, reaction to the meeting has been so negative, it doesn’t matter what they talked about. Bill Clinton kicked off a political nightmare for Hillary Clinton and the entire Obama Administration.

    Trump video shows Comey refuting Clinton on classified emails
    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/286619-trump-posts-video-showing-comey-contradicting-clinton

    and

    Trump accused Clinton of bribing Attorney General Loretta Lynch with the reported promise of staying on during her administration.

    “So Hillary said today, at least according to what I saw on television, which you can’t always believe. I actually found it hard to believe she’d said this, but she said today that we may consider the attorney general to go forward. That’s like a bribe, isn’t it? Isn’t it sort of a bribe? I think it’s a bribe,” Trump said.

    “I mean, the attorney general sitting there saying, you know, if I get Hillary off the hook I’m going have four more years or eight more years, but if she loses I’m out of a job. It’s a bribe! It’s a disgrace!”

    they are so desperate they have to pretend ALL six pointed stars belong to jews, and any star with 6 points means antisemitism…

    does this mean every six pointed sherrif star is a star of david? do the buddists have to give up their pinwheel cause of nazi germany?

    technically the star of david is NOT just a six pointed star, but a six pointed star drawn as two lined triangles… other stars are not jewish

    this went on to the point that the press brought up his 100 million suit with palm beach for preventing blacks and jews to vacation there, showing how old money hates jews and blacks…

    he sent a copy of “Look who’s coming to dinner” to all the liberal oppositiion there which is a great movie to show their duplicity

    you guys are making a big mistake thinking a man who has run a business empire which is more cutthroat than politics and their comfy deals, and did so internatioally is a loose cannon of any sort… he is smart like a fox, and has managed to run this whole thing on almost no money and has leverages the opposition to fund him by forcing them to address his bombast, which by the way is what you gyys have complained the left does… you know, all white men are racist, nazis, and so on… your so used to that you dont see that as more vile than trumps bs, and his bs has a purpose…

    to win…

  47. Let me be perfectly clear about this: In a contest for the office of the Presidency of the United States in 2016, crooked beats racist every time.

    Trump has made us afraid of immigration — and fear is a powerful persuader. But Clinton countered by making us afraid of Trump! Persuasion-wise, it was exactly the right play. It would be nearly impossible to make voters less afraid of terrorism while things are blowing up all over the world. But you can make voters more afraid of Trump, and that strategy is working for Clinton.

    Speaking of confirmation bias, this week we saw Trump retweet an image that included a Star of David symbol, or at least a six-sided star that looks a lot like one. An article at Breitbart mimicked my writing about Trump — while crediting me — and suggested that Trump cleverly made this “mistake” on purpose to enjoy the free publicity it generated. And while I appreciate the credit, that’s not how I saw it this time.

    My best guess is that Trump and his campaign didn’t notice that the image looks like the Star of David. I say that because I didn’t notice it the first time I saw it. To me, this situation looks more like an unfortunate oversight than either a sign of dog-whistle racism or a clever ploy to get free media. But that’s not now the public is seeing it.

    Thanks to the confirmation bias trap set by the Clinton team, Democrats are primed to see it as one more piece of circumstantial evidence that Trump is a racist.

    And thanks to the confirmation bias trap I set with my own writing about Trump’s persuasion tactics, Trump supporters are primed to see the tweet as a clever ploy to get free publicity.

    I’m reasonably certain Trump’s retweet of the offensive image was not intentional, either as a racist dog whistle or as a clever plan to get free advertising. The worst thing the Trump campaign could do is create more confirmation bias for the racist branding Clinton put on them. There isn’t the slightest chance someone on the Trump team thought tweeting a racist-looking image was a good tradeoff for all the free publicity.

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    what i find interesting is that no one uses the term racist at all in its original meaning, except the left, which doesnt explain the meaning as put forth by trotsky in the history of the russian revolution 1935!!!!

    i like scott adams disclaimer at the end of his work
    Note: I endorsed Hillary Clinton — for my personal safety — because I live in California. It isn’t safe to be viewed as a Trump supporter where I live. My politics don’t align with either candidate, but backing Clinton reduces my odds of dying at the hands of my fellow citizens. (And yes, I am 100% serious. It just happens to be funny by coincidence.)

  48. Comey has said that, given Hillary’s guilty as sin, Obama and Lynch are too corrupt to do the right thing.
    Nice to know.
    Some have opined that, were Hillary to be indicted, there would be far more info to be distorted and assumed martyrdom jacking up her approvals.
    Now, she’s followed by a stinking cloud about which nobody can do anything.

  49. Yet another Republican (Comey) stabs us in the back in order to be loved by the MSM and Democrats.

    This will embolden Rodham and make her Presidential gambits even more outrageous. Of course she will be starting on the base that Barack has created.

  50. Warren Meyer at Coyote Blog makes an excellent point:
    “Even if she had no intent to violate secrecy laws, she did – beyond a reasonable doubt – have intent to violate public transparency and FOIA laws. She wanted to make it hard, or impossible, for Conservative groups to see her communications, communications that the public has the right to see. In violating this law with full intent, she also inadvertently violated secrecy laws. I don’t consider this any different than being charged for murder when your bank robbery inadvertently led to someone’s death.”

  51. DirtyJobsGuy:

    So, you must know what was in the 30,000 e-mails she destroyed?

  52. Steve57 — Comey explicitly said Hillary was above the law when he said (paraphrasing) “Don’t you little people think you can get away with this — we will prosecute you if you do.”

    The rot has overtaken us.

  53. Yet another Republican (Comey) stabs us in the back in order to be loved by the MSM and Democrats.

    Civil servants in DC are like Powell. R or D doesn’t mean much in a city, capital of freedom, which voted 90%+ for Hussein.

  54. What is remarkable about the Clinton emails is how little “classified” information was present. Yes she did purge some, but my thinking is she got and sent very little sensitive information via email.

    Compared to what Snowden got, Clinton had far higher access and by necessity, had to sell secrets to bump up her influence and millions of income up.
