I will not be gracious in victory over the FBI investigation.

[Zynx]

Those who spread that smear with such zeal and such vitriol should be ashamed of themselves. They never had anything to go on except rumors from right-wing news sources and were proven decisively wrong. I hope this hurts for them.

[MariaThinks]

1. So true.

[TCJ70]

2. You view it as a victory?

The FBI director came out and said Hillary and her team were careless in their handling of classified materials. That isn't a victory, it's a confirmation. The fact that there are no consequences for her, when there most certainly would be for anyone else, only highlights a problem that we already knew existed.

[Zynx]

3. Oh bullshit. He said explicitly no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges.

Sloppy record keeping practices are pretty damn common.

[brooklynboy49]

179. You're not a lawyer and therefore don't understand the subtleties

"No reasonable prosecutor would bring charges" doesn't mean no reasonable prosecutor would find that no crimes were committed, it means no reasonable prosecutor, knowing that guilt must be established beyond a reasonable doubt, would bring charges with the evidence he or she had to meet that burden of proof.

[Zynx]

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

If the case is so weak that they don't think they could obtain a conviction in court, there's not much there. It's a flimsy thing you're clinging on to, and I have serious questions about why you want to cling to it.

[BobbyDrake]

4. Did you miss the part where they scoured ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY for a comparable prosecution

and came up empty? That was a pretty big indicator that NO, there most certainly would NOT be consequences "for anyone else" because there never has been.

[Zynx]

9. They don't care because they never actually cared about the facts.

[BobbyDrake]

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

[emulatorloo]

27. No, they presented Fox News spin as fact, and now they are working overtime

to spin the fact there will be no indictment as a 'negative.'

Fuck all the bullshit armchair lawyers.

[Lance Bass esquire]

5. Victory n/t

6. Your "concern" is noted. nt

[TCJ70]

7. Thanks for keeping track!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

59. "Your "concern" is noted. nt"

[TCJ70]

62. Yep, that's what they said...n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

64. Who is they and what did they say?

Thank you in advance.

[TCJ70]

67. I thought you were quoting Dr. Hobbitstein...

...If not, my mistake.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

68. Thank you.

[uponit7771]

8. Splodey heads don't view it as this ... splodey heads hate her anyway

[Dem2]

14. The primary is over

There are other sites you can go to if you want to help Republicans

[Gothmog]

123. And there is a great deal of hair pulling on these sites

[Hortensis]

16. Reccing the thread, TCJ70, and with it any posts illustrating

what the thread condemns. For those who ignored all evidence to hope for an indictment, this thread is their indictment.

"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey, who also stated that over a year's intensive investigation found no willful or intentional misconduct, no indications of disloyalty to the United States, no efforts to obstruct justice.

[TCJ70]

19. I had no hopes for an indictment...

...why would I want to see our candidate indicted? That isn't good for anyone!

What I don't like is seeing statements where wrongs are clearly outlined without consequences. What is the use of having rules in place regarding the handing of classified materials if the mishandling of classified materials doesn't matter?

[Hortensis]

22. Your virtuous disapproval will be her "consequence," CJ70.

Maybe send her a card to let her know?

[1StrongBlackMan]

35. LOL.

[leftofcool]

132. LOL

[randome]

31. But you clearly never broke a rule in your life, did you?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[TCJ70]

34. Oh, I definitely have...

...and generally there were consequences for those actions. Also, none of them came anywhere close to mishandling classified material.

[randome]

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

Let Trump bloviate about it all he wants. We have better things to do.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[Hortensis]

111. Au contraire, HRC WAS PROVEN INNOCENT. :)

They looked at everything and found her innocent of every possible charge.

[randome]

119. That's another way of look at it!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[larkrake]

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

[Arneoker]

159. Will everyone who has never been careless and negligent please step forward?

I work for the government myself, and I would acknowledge that Hillary made mistakes on this. So did a lot of people at State. Did you catch where Comey spoke about the dysfunctional culture at State where it came to handling classified material? That doesn't excuse Hillary, or many others, but it should add some perspective.

[larkrake]

161. that is why he did not criminalize

[Cordy]

202. Where did you go wrong?

Comey did not say she proven negligent.

[Gabi Hayes]

203. PROVEN? by whom? a rightwing hack who's been on her ass since

whitewater?

in what court of law did he PROVE this malfeasance?

oh, wait a minute.......

thanks for playing

learn to play better next time

[brooklynboy49]

180. See my post, above

nt

[Adrahil]

51. Have you ever held a clearance?

I have. It happens. Generally speaking, if the mishandling was not intentional, and did not result in material falling into the wrong hands, the concern was more about fixing the problem than punishing someone. There is, after all, a difference between a mistake and a crime.

[3catwoman3]

74. Thank you

If no harm was caused, what is there to pursue?

I vaguely remember something from a nursing and the law course about misfeasance - doing something badly, but no harm arising, therefore nothing actionable.

[calimary]

183. What is there to pursue?

I think we all know. Hillary hatred is running so ridiculously, bewilderingly high these days that all the haters want at this point is to see her almost literally sent to Death Row. I've never seen such blindingly virulent hatred in all my years. Good Grief how threatened they are by her!

It does make me wonder, though, were these emails that were considered sensitive or top secret, were they clearly marked as such? Back then? It's awfully easy to say "she shoulda known." Well, with everything else she had on her plate, I imagine she relied on staff to lay things out clearly for her, as any executive would, and has, so she could make quick responses and decisions and reactions. Was she served in a sloppy manner? Kinda looks like it. Did she have time to micromanage every detail? In a job like Secretary of State, I'd guess probably not. Particularly since she was busy with her own top priority, which was trying to rehabilitate America's image with multiple countries and even allies in whose eyes we failed, and lost our moral high ground thanks to the WAR CRIMINALS bush & cheney and their marauding, exploitive, opportunistic Torture-on-Parade regime. They violated the Geneva Conventions forcryingoutloud! And here we are, lo these many years later, quibbling about some fucking emails while bush/cheney walk free 'n' clear, unindicted, uninvestigated, unaccountable.

[treestar]

116. there were consequences

this whole "investigation" thing. Did the FBI look into it?

[NastyRiffraff]

40. Thank you SO MUCH for your concern! n/t

[TCJ70]

43. You're SO welcome! n/t

[Hortensis]

104. TCJ70 and others earn our thanks every day.

Bless their concerned hearts.

[floppyboo]

41. The problem for me is that Comey left the door wide open

Yes, not criminal - no intent.
And I guess that's all the FBI does - criminal investigations

But he left the door open for so many other lesser charges - and has a report to back up those lesser charges.
It will be up to someone else (guess who?) to initiate that.

F**k! Just when you hoped the runway would be cleared of debris.

[Adrahil]

53. He just said...

No basis for crminal charges. Pretty darned clear.

[MADem]

82. "No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey

A rightwing nutjob hater might, but a reasonable prosecutor? "Comey" don't play that, now, does he?

[Adrahil]

83. Thanks for the actual quote +1. NT

[MADem]

84. Hortensis was first! But it does bear repeating, over and over again!

The people who want to be UNREASONABLE will continue to whine and cry about this matter.

Director Comey has quite thoughtfully characterized those people already, so we don't have to!

[floppyboo]

96. that wasn't the quote I was referring to.

Doesn't matter til it matters.

[Hortensis]

109. Did you mean the FBI finding: "NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE?"

If not that one, how about Comey's finding: "NO WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT?" or "NO INDICATIONS OF DISLOYALTY TO THE UNITED STATES?"

Of course these do matter, tremendously, to those who've been wet-dreaming about destroying this nice woman, wife, friend, mother, grandmother, presidential candidate. That Hillary is PROVEN innocent is turning out to be a tremendous disappointment to many, right wing nutjob haters and unfortunately others, for whom, frankly, that little detail never did matter.

[floppyboo]

114. No, I meant this one:

“To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences,” Comey said. “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 door that was left open, and its almost as if he taunting 'someone' to follow-up.

[Hortensis]

115. People aren't indicted for "administrative sanctions,"

and while there Hillary was the boss, a presidential appointee, not one of the many thousands of employees this was meant for. I listened to every word, but if you want to dig around for another fingerling potato go to it.

Comey regarding carelessness in the State Department: "No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." And the huge BIGGIEs, the three aircraft carrier-size potatoes: "No willful or intentional misconduct, no indications of disloyalty to the United States, no efforts to obstruct justice."

[floppyboo]

117. I wasn't talking about indictment. I don't believe I mentioned it once.

I know what the difference is. You can all move on from 'indictment' now.

[larkrake]

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

the e-mails were always nothing to be concerned about, but the findings confirmed negligence, not innocense. she skated and it is time to put it to bed.

[MADem]

128. That dog isn't hunting. nt

[floppyboo]

97. No one is arguing that. We've all got eyes and ears.

There is the issue of security clearances, which my gut says the DOJ will be fine with. It's all the other noise.
Back to listening to Obama. He's knockin it out of the park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

153. Obama blew the roof off that rally today! nt

[nolawarlock]

92. Still praying to the fairy?

[nolawarlock]

90. Why indeed?

[NorthCarolina]

171. If you haven't noticed by now, some in America have

special rights and privileges that place them above the law. It takes a certain level of money, connections, and power to get to the point where "I didn't mean to do it" carries weight with the federal justice system.

[brush]

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

And I would bet that many of the ones praying for a Clinton indictment are big supporters of Snowden.

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. You noticed that, too?

[floppyboo]

44. Would that mean Comey supports Snowden??? Or that Snowden supporters are pro-Hillary?

Huh? Too much coffee and information for my fly brain.

[1StrongBlackMan]

54. NO ... those DUers wishing upon the HRC Indictment fairy were/are very supportive of Snowden.

[nolawarlock]

91. That is the part of this that disgusts me most.

When I read that stuff out there about her from Snowden supporters, it just reeks of the idea that they wouldn't even care if she were innocent of something. They'd want to send her to jail anyway if it helps their candidate. It's so despicable.

[Hortensis]

112. Yup, yup, and yup. The most morally bankrupt

and hypocritical see the expectations of others for honesty as opportunity to exploit for attacks, and, as with this current issue, occasionally as an imaginary bunkered position to take over, use, and abandon.

[sheshe2]

140. Good golly Miss Molly!

You are correct.

[Gothmog]

125. Same here

How are you doing my friend?

[1StrongBlackMan]

127. I'm good. I'm taking July off in real life politically ...

so that starting back in August I will refreshed and ready to grind ... We have a Senator to replace and in my Township a team of 4 (out of seven) incumbent Council members to re-elect!

[Gothmog]

136. In comparison, I am about to OD on politics for July

I am a Clinton delegate to the National Convention. It is an once in a lifetime chance and there may be some real floor fights.

[obamanut2012]

47. I noticed that, too

[JustAnotherGen]

80. +1000 n/t

[MADem]

81. "No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey

Well, well, well--there it is!! Worth repeating, several times, too:

"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey


"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey


"No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." -- FBI Director Comey

[DCBob]

17. Absolutely its a victory... a victory for common sense and fairness.

If the FBI recommended legal action that would have been a huge unfair injustice to a dedicated public servant.

She didnt follow all the rules and regs precisely but she is no criminal... far from it.. very far from it.

[larkrake]

156. he did not say she isnt a criminal, he said it would not be easy to indict so far

he left the door wide open for GOP to step through and you know they will

[DCBob]

158. If there was a crime he would have recommended legal action.

No crime.. no criminal.

[larkrake]

163. there are degrees of criminality. He can not prosecute without solid proof of intent

that does not mean she is innocent of gross negligence as he clearly accuses her of. Her obsession for secrecy got her into this trouble, it is self destruction and no one else's fault. As Pres, she can classify what she wishes and avoid daylight, but trust is really hard to reclaim.

Hillary's followers are celebrating that she is innocent, when the findings state she is not. The charges were negligence, not intent to share data with enemies. The foundation e-mails were not part of this investigation, and will not be brought forth for many months, a separate investigation with too many players to cover up. Luckily the Clintons have allies in high places and will never see a jail cell, but the people will know just how corrupt politics are and those they adored are just as corrupt as the next one. Salaries in DC are low, they do not seek office to serve the people, clearly, but go to wheel and deal under the table for millions.

The public sees the corruption in DC so they praise the very few innocent politicians who stay out of the pool. Those who Adore any candidate and assume any are clean and cares are just fooling themselves. The few clean and caring politicians are trampled daily, and are hated by the few people who want to be blind, for no reason at all. These good politicians say "We", not "Me", and they care about cleaning the toilet that is DC.You can count them on two hands.

Hillary's opponent is not a politician, so he draws those who are sick of DC, and that number is vast, and unfortunately he can use shades of gray to attack Hillary. He is a buffoon and spontaneous liar, he spouts absurdities and is not liked either. His followers do not believe his flip flops, they are just sick of the corruption in DC so will vote for the non-politician and hope Congress will neuter him. It is a revolution of another breed than Bernie's, but a social uproar nevertheless.

It is a time for a revolution, we cannot go on for the next four years of the same old crap. I prefer Bernie's organized plan over Trumps violent followers just venting. I do not see a plan with Hillary for productive changes to save our country, especially with this critical statement from Comey and the GOP just waiting to launch so many investigations. It will be another 4 yrs of gridlock while bridges fall down

[DCBob]

164. I think she is completely innocent of anything resembling a crime.

She is guilty of simply being a bit too controlling and not following all the rules and regs perfectly. It is my understanding the "mishandling" of classified information is quite common among government officials and staff. Often is out of necessity to simply get the job done. She is a long-time dedicated public servant who would never intentionally do anything to risk this country's security.

[larkrake]

165. you are entitled to your opinion, and intent was never implied by Comey or me

[DCBob]

167. Intent is critical to making it a crime.

Otherwise its just a mistake.

[larkrake]

168. that is just another mistake, less damaging than the previous mistakes

secrecy was the intent, not a crime, but suspect. Sharing data with the enemy is a crime which she did not intend, clearly.

[DCBob]

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

[larkrake]

172. control of what?

[DCBob]

173. Server and system.

[larkrake]

174. that is secrecy

[DCBob]

176. Not to me. Secrecy implies hiding something she shouldn't be hiding.

That wasnt the intent.

[larkrake]

177. then we have to agree to disagree, it is a habit over several years

perhaps born of being a target forever, but I believe where there is smoke there is fire, especially after 40 yrs of smoke

[Cordy]

204. And didn't happen nt

[creeksneakers2]

201. It has nothing to do with friends in high places

Comey is untouchable. He made a decision based on the facts, which were extensively investigated.

[geek tragedy]

18. sour grapes are bitter nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. Yes, I do. What else could they say, we wasted months

Months we could have focused on terrorists or some real crime???

[lapucelle]

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

"the fact that there are no consequences for her, when there most certainly would be for anyone else..."
That's not a fact. You made that up.

I'm more concerned with why the FBI director felt entitled to engage in partisan speculation concerning a presidential candidate. That was a clear breach in ethics. Comey should step down.

[TCJ70]

121. I didn't make anything up...

...here it is in Comey's statement:

"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."

[ehrnst]

38. Yes it is. The consequence was the investigation.

There are many who were hoping upon hope that there would be an indictment, and the disappointment is so overwhelming, that they can't bring themselves to see it for what it is.

A victory.

[obamanut2012]

49. I agree -- she was treated differently

No one else would have smeared like this but Hillary. No one else who was INNOCENT would have been subjected to that presser.

[underpants]

56. Boy, this going well huh TC?

[TCJ70]

63. It's going as expected.

Thanks for asking.

[underpants]

65. No prob

It's happened to me before too

[nolawarlock]

89. Are you making these criticisms in order to help Hillary become a better candidate per the rules?

It certainly doesn't sound that way.

[pnwmom]

94. Hah! The Republican FBI director just couldn't resist adding his politically-motivated

comments to his announcement of his decision that the facts did not support a "reasonable prosecutor" pressing charges.

This was no confirmation of anything except that she never broke any law. But the Rethugs were determined to crucify her while ignoring the fact that during the immediately preceding administration, 22 million White House emails held on the RNC server were purposefully deleted and withheld from the investigation about the US attorneys scandal.

[Squinch]

137. Poor you.

[pnwmom]

152. If he could demonstrate that she broke a law, then he would have.

All he could do was say that in his opinion certain conversations were too sensitive to be handled in email.

But his personal opinion didn't matter, as he clearly understands. The law did.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Yes,there are bigger issues to take care of.

Now,can we get back to the people issues within this campaign.

Remember,Comey was the lead investigator for Ken Starr,and we know how that Witch Hunt ended.

[Hekate]

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

Or at least repeat it often.

Thanks for the reminder.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Thanks,

there are a few of us here that are trying to get our Party back to the people issues.

BTW,Cable News are in full test various Frank Luntz focus group themes today. Appears the so called independent media are going to make a run at dumping Trump.

The other theme is Hillary is guilty of something,and we don't know what it is. Next one is Polls show less honest than Trump. The latter is in major play in our Vegas market. Every TV station runs this as the lead in their News updates.

[Hortensis]

113. Wow, me too. Needs repeating. I only remembered

him rushing to AG Ashcroft's ICU bed to keep him from being pressured into reauthorizing W's illegal surveillance program.

[joshcryer]

11. Oh, it hurts.

I can't even call these people Democrats at this point

They are either completely delusional on how clearances, or the federal government operates or they are completely detached from reality. Either way I'm happy they found somewhere new to spew all if their nonsense & hate.

In spite of what the haters and concern trolls think, it's OVAH!

[riversedge]

55. :-) Well said.

[BlueCaliDem]

57. K&R! ^^^This!^^^ Spot ON. SHAME on them all! How can any reasonable Liberal or Progressive

fall for RW propaganda against one of our own without considering the facts and without considering how the RW have hunted and hounded President Bill Clinton for eight-plus years? How can they so easily fall for RW-gossip and propaganda that attacks any Democrat?

I always say to this...if you don't stand for anything (taking a stand on a political Party, for example), you'll fall for everything.

[riversedge]

58. Wolf Blitzer is having a cow. He is digging and

[bigwillq]

60. I don't consider it a victory

Glad there was no indictment, but this whole situation was not a good look for Ms. Clinton, imo.
She done f-ed up. Big time.

[Zynx]

70. The story is thoroughly exhausted without an indictment.

[SidDithers]

69. DU rec...

fortunately, most of the most zealous smearers have decamped for viler pastures.

Fuck 'em.



Sid

[Vinca]

71. IMO, it would be better not to gloat.

Reckless and careless are not attributes usually considered positive in a presidential candidate and I'm sure the right will be using Comey's words in their advertising.

[Zynx]

72. Compared to that smug certainty that she would be indicted, meh.

No one cares anymore. The story won't even be mentioned by the middle of next week.

[Vinca]

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

[emulatorloo]

75. Sure, as long as the judge doesn't have 'Mexican Heritage'

He's a liar and a birther.

Of course he will campaign on this. So what?

(Not to mention he has plenty of lawsuits against him as we speak)

[geek tragedy]

93. You think a candidate vowing to throw the opposition in prison makes for an attractive

campaign pitch?

[JTFrog]

133. Is Trump the new indictment fairy?

[Vinca]

162. Did I say that? No.

Comey says no intent so no indictment. I'm only warning that Trump is going to make a whole lot of hay over this. At this point I want Hillary to win the damn election because Trump is fucking crazy.

[Cordy]

205. So why help them?

In the Comey report the word reckless and negligent are not there, it was never said of Hillary. Kind of like when the right said her server was "unsecure." It was secure, and unsecure was a media hype word. During her tenor the SD was hacked twice, while her system was never breached.

Save those terms for Trump, like untrustworthy.

[stonecutter357]

76. K&R!

87. That seems personal. Do you have something you want to say to me?

[MADem]

79. The rightwingers who were cheering for an indictment don't deserve any

attention beyond a quick "point/laugh." Trump and his minions are the ones who have been flogging this hare-brained hope, which we KNEW was not an issue because the FBI long, LONG ago said Clinton was not a target of their investigation.

Why these Trumpeteers--and Trump, himself--continued to ignore this rather key fact has everything to do with trying to win while fomenting "Hillary Hatred." It wasn't ever going to work, anyone with half a toe in the pool of reality knew this months ago, and they're just going to have to deal with their disappointment in any way they can manage:

Poor Donald and his Orangemen...he must be SO disappointed!

[Scurrilous]

86. K & R

[nolawarlock]

88. Oh, trust me. It hurts.

I couldn't help but peer over at a certain jaded, pathetic, and rabid hate site (and no, I'm not talking about the Freepers) and saw a meltdown of massive proportions. I don't think I've seen people this freaking out. I wish I could say it wasn't fun to watch but it kinda was.

[rbrnmw]

98. I saw that place too

Can't say I didn't LMAO the whole time because many of them are very vile people and deserve to hurt right now.

[CajunBlazer]

99. Yea, I saw it too

Guided by a link in a post above. And I don't think I ever seen such a large collection of "revolutionary" trash gathered on a single site at the same time. But then again......

[nolawarlock]

102. It amazes me that posting links to that site on DU doesn't violate the new rules.

There's as much vitriol against our presumptive candidate on that website as there is on any right wing news source, blog, or hate site.

[CajunBlazer]

100. Huge K&R

[Hoyt]

101. I agree. But note, I had a post hidden supposedly because I was rehashing primary.

Better luck with your post.

[cosmicone]

103. They're hurting on Jack Pine Ridiculous n/t

[Squinch]

106. Heads:

[joshcryer]

107. Skinner needs to take a long hard look at those usernames.

I cannot in good conscious consider those people anything but trolls if they come come back to DU. And to think some of them are HOSTS here.

[cosmicone]

108. ^^^ THIS ^^^^ n/t

[Hortensis]

110. +1000.

[nolawarlock]

130. I'm shocked he allows it to be linked from here.

They might as well link Stormfront.

[Agnosticsherbet]

105. It's like a thousand other conspiracy shitstorms that proved to be nothing.

It provided more than a year of feeding frenzy and conspiracy fodder.
There was nothing to it.

[R B Garr]

118. Agreed! That Comey guy has been investigating the Clintons for decades, so that

alone tells you what sort of bullshit was underfoot. It was obvious this whole fake "scandal" was just more of the same.

I won't even bother to try and pretend this was ever about "issues". I don't care either how upset people are that another phony "scandal" blew up in their faces. I'll just smirk quietly at all the 'splodey heads.

[Gothmog]

122. There was never going to be an indictment because no laws were broken

[NCTraveler]

124. Kicking in support of every word. Nt

[VOX]

129. Lining up in complete agreement. n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

134. K & R and A-FREAKIN'-men.

Screw the Jackass Delusionals.
Screw FOX noise.
Screw Trump & Co.

They're all one and the same, and they can all go to hell.

[Zynx]

139. With you 180%.

[Her Sister]

189. With you too!!!

[corkhead]

141. Another sore winner

[Zynx]

150. Yup! If the pro-indictment crowd hadn't been so obnoxious, this could have been avoided.

[PowerToThePeople]

143. Glad I will not have to hear

anymore about those damned emails.

Let's talk issues.

[Skid Rogue]

145. Good Lord...

It's not a matter of being gracious...

It's a matter of being "not" totally clueless. Okay, so a lot of folks didn't know a RW smear when they saw one. Hopefully, they were very, very young folks.

[Beacool]

147. The vultures were circling for months now, but their prey escaped to live another day.

RW heads are exploding everywhere. Those on the Left who were counting on an indictment, like nut job H.A. Goodman, are also having a bad day.

[Cha]

148. Wow! Thanks Zynx.. Damn straight!

[larkrake]

154. nothing was proven wrong, it just isnt inditable at this time, take a deep breath, but do

not fool yourself. Nothing said was flattering or a cause for relief, in fact Comey was a bit brutal.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

175. The wishes of the indictment wishers were not granted.

What part of that don't you understand?

Folks like the seminal poster and myself were right and our nemeses were wrong.

[Vattel]

160. This Bernie supporter never thought she would or should be indicted.

I don't like many things about her, but I agreed with Bernie that the email stuff was a distraction.

[peace13]

178. My suggestion to you is to que the video of the entire press conference.

Take five deep breathes and then watch it as if they were talking about someone that you had no vested interest it. The speech was funnel shaped in that a lot of important information at the top was spelled out and as he went on, at the bottom of the speech where few words remained ....you thought you heard that she was innocent. Listen again because that is not what was said.

I think we could look at it as a victory for her in that it looks like she has avoided prosecution. She would have liked to hear, 'no crimes committed' but unfortunately she did not.

[Zynx]

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

The rest of it is an area that doesn't terribly interest most people.

[hobbit709]

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

[Her Sister]

186. Did you lose something!

[hobbit709]

188. tossing in your $0.02?

[Maru Kitteh]

192. It's a fucking discussion board.

Duh.

[Zynx]

198. They were asking if you feel like you're on the losing side of an argument. Were you hoping for an

indictment? If so, I really don't have much to say to you other than "Ha! Ha!"

[Zynx]

197. I will not apologize for gloating in the faces of people who wanted our candidate to go to prison.

They have a lot to apologize for and I will not be magnanimous toward them.

[Her Sister]

190. Boojah!

[Blue_Tires]

193. +1000

Goodman , Greenwald, Sirota and the rest of the Emoprog scribes can shove it straight up their assholes with the rest of the garbage...

[NYC Liberal]

194. Right-wing Republicans are very, very sad today.

Hillary Clinton, and Democrats, are celebrating the end of yet another partisan anti-Clinton witch hunt.

[betsuni]

200. I agree. K&R
