The verdict is in, and I'm content with letting it go. It's a shame you and your right leaning cohorts probably won't be letting it go for the foreseeable future and I expect many tax dollars to be wasted on future investigations that will turn up nothing.

You being "content with letting it go" makes you a supporter, which makes you part of the problem.

Corruption should NEVER be let go.
Justice should NEVER be let go.
Liberty should NEVER be let go.

Scary how un-American you are.

As I have been saying all along and as anybody who has been a part of the intel community and seen these things before it was pretty clear their would be no charges and at most a misdemeanor. Once you take politics out of it and have any knowledge of such things this is exactly what was expected. Although most such investigations are not so long and thorough.

In the Intel community, an infraction of this sort would result in the permanent revocation of eligibility for a position of trust and responsibility with the United States government.

P e r m a n e n t.

There's a lack of 'fair' in there somewhere.

No it would not. Temporary perhaps. A letter of reprimand maybe. A suspension maybe. Being retrained in the rules and regulations certainly.

However, after the demonstration of such bad judgement and lies shouldn't and wouldn't any reasonable person expect that individual to be disqualified or temporarily removed from the CEO pool of candidates.

Or is bad judgement and possible criminal activity considered a good trait for leadership now a days?

Nah. I'd rather not waste my tax dollars on another silly witch hunt that won't go anywhere. I see your definition of "American" is wasting tax money on frivolous lawsuits that don't change the original verdicts.

FBI Rewrites Federal Law to Let Hillary Off the Hook

Read more at: www.nationalreview.com...

In essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require. The added intent element, moreover, makes no sense: The point of having a statute that criminalizes gross negligence is to underscore that government officials have a special obligation to safeguard national defense secrets; when they fail to carry out that obligation due to gross negligence, they are guilty of serious wrongdoing. The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence.

I would point out, moreover, that there are other statutes that criminalize unlawfully removing and transmitting highly classified information with intent to harm the United States. Being not guilty (and, indeed, not even accused) of Offense B does not absolve a person of guilt on Offense A, which she has committed.

It is a common tactic of defense lawyers in criminal trials to set up a straw-man for the jury: a crime the defendant has not committed. The idea is that by knocking down a crime the prosecution does not allege and cannot prove, the defense may confuse the jury into believing the defendant is not guilty of the crime charged. Judges generally do not allow such sleight-of-hand because innocence on an uncharged crime is irrelevant to the consideration of the crimes that actually have been charged.

It seems to me that this is what the FBI has done today. It has told the public that because Mrs. Clinton did not have intent to harm the United States we should not prosecute her on a felony that does not require proof of intent to harm the United States. Meanwhile, although there may have been profound harm to national security caused by her grossly negligent mishandling of classified information, we’ve decided she shouldn’t be prosecuted for grossly negligent mishandling of classified information.

Comey literally said she broke the law over and over, then he said no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges...

It's called privilege.

You just need to understand the real definition of "Power".

Power:= The ability to work around the law without fear of consequences.

It's the difference between those in power and the powerless. If you have to follow the law, then you have no power. When you have power, you no longer have to follow the law.

The more power you have, the more laws you can bend, break, and avoid altogether.

It's why people run for political office.

The "Little People" have to follow the law. "Only the Little People" get arrested, charged, and thrown in jail.

Didn't Leona Helmsley say something like this?

I seem to recall someone like her saying something of the sort.

Hillary Clinton just proved that she is not one of the "Little People."

I think it's great. We'll have 16 years of presidents that think the rules don't apply to them, explode the deficit to unimaginable levels, that have an unprecedented amount of cronyism and continue to hold down the minorities in our country. The dems won't ever be seen the same again. Itll be a good thing overall.

Solyndra--obamacare website anyone?

Ignorance of the law and the unintentional violation of the law are not ordinary excuses to be cleared of a crime. Indeed they would not suffice in any ordinary investigation, and yet the FBI used them to excuse Clinton despite the fact they had identified specific laws of which were violated in the handling of her emails.

I'm waiting for WikiLeaks to release all the # they have on her and the DNC. Maybe then the public will have a clearer perspective on a lot of the information.

This is bull#.

That's if we make it the next eight years without just completely imploding.

I guess because I don't like Either candidate I have a unique perspective that a parent ly many here do not. Hillary supporters are trumpeting the news and going see. And Trump supporters are all this is wrong and she needs to to to jail. Funny thing to me is both sides have it backwards. First if you wanted Hillary as president thr best thing that could have happened is an indictment. See she could have played the vicrim she was already setting that up. If she was indicted it would be the evil right wing making things up to stop the first woman president. She becomes a martyr and swept into the presidency.

The Trump fans you were given a gift. Now you have it on record she was careless and reckless and eveN says gross negligence. So now Trump can hit her with well you didn't even have a password on your email and somehow we are supposed to trust you to run the country. And at the same time he can attack saying see what happens when democrats are in power they break rules and get away with it. Politicians need to go etc so forth and so on. So we have pages of arguments here and both sides are just not seeing the big picture.

What the Clinton's wanted, as usual, was no public announcement till after the elections.

They lost.

This will be used ad nauseam by Trump to pound home the label of incompetence, ensuring a swift and just landslide.

Hum hail to the chief....Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.......

Another win for sociopaths.

Those that consider this vindication are truly sick people. Her entire voter base is just as corrupted as she is. If this is your candidate that best represents your values and beliefs, you are completely despicable.

America is f#@ked.

From now on, drunk drivers that kill someone can escape charges because they didnt INTEND on killing someone while driving drunk.....

Yes! The vast right wing conspiracy is TROUNCED!! HILLARY 2016 BITCHES!! WHAHOO!!

This is a tv show, right?

Yep, and "faith" is restored in a system that works!

TV Show for general consumption...The US hasn't stood for anything resembling "moral" high ground in a long, long time. The quicker other Nations realize this the better they can resist pressure by the US when it comes to things like Trade treaties, or foreign military action coalitions.

What's crazy is how they went to that rally in NC on Air Force One and pretended like nothing ever happened. Despite Comey's scathing commentary a few hours prior and him calling out her inconsistencies regarding the security of the server and how many devices she had. I don't even get how her public comments versus the reality of the findings doesn't make her eligible for some type of charge or censure.

How does officially being labeled careless and incompetent by the FBI help ones status?

Her fans are delusional.
