Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton

[Meathead]

The far right fringe of the GOP seems to be "legally challenged" these days.

Oh well. The fruit does not ever fall far from the nut tree.

(There was NO BREACH ergo Hillary is NOT guilty of anything except foolishness which still beat's Trump The Chump's overall insanity.)

One wonders where one comes up with such patent nonsense.

She lied! She lied to the American people (several times) and it remains to be seen whether she lied to the FBI.

The label "Crooked Hillary" fits her like a glove.

Feel free to interpret these events as meaning that "Crooked Hillary" is an appropriate label. You know what label isn't appropriate though? "Criminal".

Crooked Hillary is a criminal. A lot of criminals never get caught, but that certainly doesn't mean they are not criminals. So both terms are indeed appropriate in describing the Beast.

A criminal how? Make it good.

White collar/corruption of course. I'm not saying she's a thug shooting other thugs in Chicago understand.

Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System

You've got to read this statement. The most partisan and misleading smear I have ever read that's supposed to be an unbiased report from the Head of the FBI.

Peppered through are statements like this:

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.

Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.

Bore markings??????????? What the fuck is "bore markings". When I was in the service, I worked in military intelligence.

There was no "bore markings". Things were stamped top secret, secret and confidential. And today's classified emails have what's called "water markings", like in this passport:

It's either marked or it's not. No such thing as "bore markings". The government isn't shy about marking classified info.

Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.

So that’s what we found.

Which means you found nothing.

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

We did not see those things here.

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of the investigation—including people in government—but none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter, and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this organization.

Only facts matter? Go back through his statement. It's filled with speculation. This is one disgraceful and partisan speech that calls into question the professionalism of the Head of the FBI.

Comey is a REPUBLICAN--so where is your "partisan" comment coming from? You are just another that is suffering from OCDS (obsessive Clinton Derangement syndrome) brought on by 3 or more daily hours of Reich wing hyperbole, half truths and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capital building from floor to ceiling. You NOW know more than the FBI does--LOL

And you better dam well hope that Democrats do not take over the House, otherwise you're going to be up to your email eyeballs in scandals over Colin Powell's emails when he was Secretary of State.
The shocking truth: Colin Powell’s emails don’t matter
Rice Aides, Powell Also Got Classified Info on Personal Email Accounts

Comey also released a statement as to why one 4 star General & former CIA director was charged with a crime and Hillary Clinton wasn't.

Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System

You are a complete idiot. "bore " means it had markings noting it was classified...what fucking retard.

 

[toomuchtime_]

One wonders where one comes up with such patent nonsense.

She lied! She lied to the American people (several times) and it remains to be seen whether she lied to the FBI.

The label "Crooked Hillary" fits her like a glove.

Feel free to interpret these events as meaning that "Crooked Hillary" is an appropriate label. You know what label isn't appropriate though? "Criminal".

Crooked Hillary is a criminal. A lot of criminals never get caught, but that certainly doesn't mean they are not criminals. So both terms are indeed appropriate in describing the Beast.

People are also innocent until proven guilty in the US. She played the system in a way many find to be unsavory, but it wasn't illegal. To be quite honest, if she's had a 25-year character assassination, years of politically charged investigations from powerful individuals, and they still couldn't find anything illegal that she did despite her being "extremely reckless" and half of the US political machine with a deeply vested interest seeing her fail, I'm really inclined to believe she at least followed the letter of the law. And more importantly, there was insufficient evidence to prove any shady activities she did were anything outright illegal.That makes her not a criminal.

But go ahead and call her one if you want. I don't mind you being incorrect if you don't.

In every job she has had in her adult life, she has proved herself to be both corrupt and incompetent. The fact that she has not been indicted by a Democratic AG is should not be surprising, since she has been just one step ahead of the law all of her life. In fact, her greatest accomplishment in life has been staying out of prison despite being involved in criminal activity throughout her adult life.

She has had a stellar career. Why has she been corrupt and incompetent?

But Trump? Stiffing his workers, running an illegal charity and so on? Who knows what they will find the more they dig?

In fact, she has no record of accomplishments in any job she has ever had. As first lady, she managed to blow the opportunity to have a universal health care plan passed into law because her abrasive, paranoid personality offended and alienated nearly everyone on both sides of the aisle. Later, despite advice from all the president's advisers, she refused to comply with a Congressional subpoena for her White Water papers and that led to an independent prosecutor, the sex scandals and her husband's impeachment for perjury.

As a senator her only accomplishment was proving herself a fool by calling General Petraeus a liar.

As Secretary of State she substantially worsened relations between Israel and the Palestinians as well as Israel and the US, assisted Obama in withdrawing US troops from Iraq against the Pentagon's severe warnings, thus helping to created ISIS and establish a regional sectarian war that has so far claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and make millions of people homeless refugees, and she earned the contempt and distrust of the Russians because of her bizarre reset button photo ops and unwillingness to negotiate any points of concern the Russians brought up. All told, a measure of incompetence and a trail of blood matched by few other politicians.

Corruption has been her hallmark ever since she left law school. She was caught in illegal trades in the commodity markets, mired deep in the White Water scam, was a senior partner in a law firm that systematically overcharged clients and now nearly all her close associates from those days are either dead or in prison, something rate except in organized crime families. Indeed, the Clinton WH seemed to be a cross between an crime family and the Jerry Springer show. The lies and crimes from her years at the State Department are too numerous to count, but suffice it to say her top aides, her confidants, demanded immunity from prosecution before discussing what went on there with the FBI.

We have never had a candidate for president from a major party with such a record of corruption and incompetence before.

1) Wait, you're saying Universal Healthcare could have been passed under Bill Clinton, but you believe it wasn't because of Hillary? Congress has to write the law and the President has to sign it. All Hillary did was advocate. For the kind of legislation that literally every president for the previous three decades had tried and failed to get passed. Oh yes, it's all so easy.

And after it failed to pass, she didn't just phone it in thereafter. She continued trying to get key pieces of the legislation passed, and she succeeded. Most notably, she got the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) passed, which continues to provide health care for over 8 million children. That's not nothing.

2) As a senator, Hillary served on five committees and nine subcommittees within the senate. She sponsored 713 pieces of legislation, cosponsored 2,676, and contrary to the misleading numbers (3) some like to throw out, 77 pieces of legislation that she helped write/sponsor became law. Hillary Rodham Clinton That's not nothing.

3) As Secretary of State, you really don't need to look farther than the Iran deal. She crafted the deal and convinced China and Russia to support it. She took one of our enemies that was racing toward a nuclear weapon and bloodlessly defused the situation. That's a hell of an accomplishment anyway you slice it. Let this nice man from the Navy explain how it's still working: Analysis: A Year After the Iran Nuclear Deal - USNI News


Not saying Hillary hasn't had any failures, but to say she's had a record of gross incompetence is ridiculous. It's similarly ridiculous to claim that the corruption her opponents have tried in vain to find is present or verified. There are legitimate questions to ask, but to say "We have never had a candidate for president from a major party with such a record of corruption and incompetence before"? On what planet?

 

[Vigilante]

INDICT THE BITCH...Comey laid it all out in front of us... He's as CORRUPT as she is for NOT indicting her!!!

There are legitimate questions to ask, but to say "We have never had a candidate for president from a major party with such a record of corruption and incompetence before"? On what planet?

1. Bill put Hillary in charge of his universal health plan initiative at a time when all the polls showed there was strong popular support for such a plan. She held meetings with various groups around the country but refused all questions about the plan she was formulating from the press and even from presumed allies within the Democratic Party. Because she refused to provide any information on the plan she was proposing, critics of universal health care were able to claim it would be bad for the average family in various ways without any real response from the Clinton administration, and this turned the polls against the plan and doomed it. George Stepanopolous, then a confidante of the Clintons described Hillary's mental and emotional stability in his book as "fragile" and her behavior during this disaster certainly confirms this.

In the wake of Hillary's spectacular display of paranoia and incompetence in handling the universal health care initiative, Ted Kennedy and Orin Hatch reached across the aisle and put together CHIP, working both sides of the aisle to get it passed despite strong opposition to the plan from the Clinton WH. Hillary had nothing to do with it. Some time later in an effort to ease the bad blood between the Clintons and Kennedy's Ted Kennedy said she may have worked behind the scenes to get the WH to accept their plan, but her claim that she was responsible for CHIP is a demonstrable lie.

2. She had zero accomplishments as senator. Her most notable actions in the Senate were providing strong support for helping to launch the Iraq war, trying to distance herself from the war she helped launch by calling General Petraeus a liar and voting twice to build a border wall between the US and Mexico and enforce E-Verity to prevent illegal immigrants from working in the US, essentially supporting Trump's plans.

3. While Clinton did have something to do with the beginning of the negotiations with Iran, she was no longer in the administration when the negotiations began. That's probably the best thing you can say about her as Secretary of State, that she wasn't there. As Secretary of State she joined Obama in withdrawing US troops from Iraq against severe warnings from the Pentagon so that Obama wouldn't have to go into the 2012 elections having broken his main promise from 2008, thus creating ISIS and a regional sectarian war that has so far claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and made millions of people homeless refugees, she substantially worsened relations between the US and Russia, making any resolution of the conflicts in eastern Europe and the ME virtually impossible if she is elected.

Clearly, she has no record of accomplishments in any job she has ever had, but she does have a long record of incompetence and corruption in every job she has ever had.

Comey is a REPUBLICAN--so where is your "partisan" comment coming from?

Barry Bonds never failed a drug test.

Al Capone was never convicted of a crime until the Feds got him for tax evasion despite running one of the largest criminal organizations in the US.

Hillary Clinton is a sleazy, corrupt, Washington insider, who over the past twenty years has enriched herself and her family by trading political favors for cash money.

She has failed miserably at running the State Department.

She believes there are two sets of laws in America...one for the wealthy and connected...and another for everyone else!

Why would anyone want a person like THAT in the Oval Office?

So you're basically bragging about what a "smart" criminal, Hillary is?

Barry Bonds never failed a drug test.

Al Capone was never convicted of a crime until the Feds got him for tax evasion despite running one of the largest criminal organizations in the US.

Hillary Clinton is a sleazy, corrupt, Washington insider, who over the past twenty years has enriched herself and her family by trading political favors for cash money.

She has failed miserably at running the State Department.

She believes there are two sets of laws in America...one for the wealthy and connected...and another for everyone else!

Why would anyone want a person like THAT in the Oval Office?

Again you refer to Clinton as a criminal--the FBI director Comey doesn't. So apparently you were either part of the investigation--or you think you know more than the FBI does. Take your pick-- because your personal opinion in this matter doesn't mean jack shit.

Your "American News X" poster is the one that refers to Clinton as a criminal, Oreo! I simply pointed out that gloating about how good Hillary is at breaking the law and not getting caught doesn't make your support of her any less sleazy.

My opinion does in fact "count" because I will not be voting for Hillary Clinton. My opinion counts just as much as anyone else who enters a polling booth in November.

Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System

You've got to read this statement. The most partisan and misleading smear I have ever read that's supposed to be an unbiased report from the Head of the FBI.

Peppered through are statements like this:

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.

Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.

Bore markings??????????? What the fuck is "bore markings". When I was in the service, I worked in military intelligence.

There was no "bore markings". Things were stamped top secret, secret and confidential. And today's classified emails have what's called "water markings", like in this passport:

It's either marked or it's not. No such thing as "bore markings". The government isn't shy about marking classified info.

Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.

So that’s what we found.

Which means you found nothing.

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

We did not see those things here.

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of the investigation—including people in government—but none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter, and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this organization.

Only facts matter? Go back through his statement. It's filled with speculation. This is one disgraceful and partisan speech that calls into question the professionalism of the Head of the FBI.

What Comey did is fail in his sworn duty. He laid out a prima facie case for gross negligence which is all that the law requires for prosecution and then chose not to go forward. He gave her a break no other citizen would get. You should be on your knees kissing his ass.

Comey is a REPUBLICAN--so where is your "partisan" comment coming from? You are just another that is suffering from OCDS (obsessive Clinton Derangement syndrome) brought on by 3 or more daily hours of Reich wing hyperbole, half truths and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capital building from floor to ceiling.

No you are still saying is she broke the law. The FBI says no she didn't break the law. If she broke the law she would have been charged with a crime. And if she broke the law, so did Colin Powell. You are suffering from OCDS Obssessive Clinton Derangement syndrome. You do NOT know more than the FBI.

You do NOT know more than House Republicans that wasted enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars into doing 8 separate investigations into Benghazi. And it really couldn't be better explained than this.

"Herein lies a lesson for Republicans who are perpetually trying to appease the far right: It’s a fool’s errand. They went to the tea party – and now they’re taking Donald Trump to the prom. Likewise, then-House Speaker John Boehner named the Benghazi committee because activists were dissatisfied that seven previous congressional investigations had failed to uncover major scandal material. Now an eighth has produced more of the same – and the agitators are as agitated as ever.
There’s a certain twisted logic to this. The unhinged right starts with the ideologically satisfying answer – President Obama and Hillary Clinton are guilty of horrible Benghazi-related wrongdoing – and then works backwards, looking for “proof” that matches the conclusion. When their ostensible allies fail to tell these activists what they want to hear, they could reevaluate their bogus assumptions, but it’s vastly easier to believe Republicans have let them down."

As he stated:
- She failed to TURN OVER all work-related e-mails...this is a violation of the FOIA and The Federal Records Act.

- She LIED under oath by claiming she had never sent / received documents MARKED CLASSIFIED...AT THE TIME. Doing so is illegal. Lying under oath is PERJURY.

Merry Christmas, Hillary...you got your presents early.

Comey does show, at the least, that Hillary is unfit to be President.

That he did. He also called her stupid, careless and incompetent.

His hands were probably tied in reference to prosecuting that incompetent idiot so he did the next best thing. He told the world what he and his FBI thought about her.

Anyone who thinks Hillary would be a good POTUS is a few cards short of a full deck. Unless they want stupid, careless and incompetent that is.

Sadly that speaks VOLUMES about the unethical, immoral, sexist, racist, anti-Semitic, terrorist sympathizing, predatory sexual deviant-enabling, anti-America/criminal-supporting, brainwashed, partisan, DNC/Hillary-following sheep keeping crooked Hillary in this race.

Here's Bush's Benghazi's that resulted in ZERO investigations.

Trotting that tired old talking point out again, Oreo? How many of those who died at US embassies or consulates under George W. Bush were Americans? How many were US Ambassadors? How many of those embassies or consulates were overrun by terrorists?

The truth is that those attacks were on the outer defenses of our installations usually using truck bombs or suicide bombers and they killed locals far more than Americans. They weren't massed assaults that went on for over nine hours like Benghazi was! They didn't get one of our Ambassadors murdered. That only happened under Hillary's watch because she ignored hundreds of pleas from American diplomats in Libya asking for more security because they saw that the situation was deteriorating.
