the guy layed out a complete case for bringing charges and then didnt
it is as if he was saying i would if i could
??? Did you read carefully (or hear) the whole address Dir. Comey gave? If there were a case for which charges should have been brought, the FBI's recommendation would have differed.
You have some nerve to tacitly assert Dir. Comey wished he could do something he didn't do. The man is among the few in the public's eye who has a level of integrity whereby he looks objectively at the facts before him and decides based on them, not based on what he'd like to see happen.
Moreover, do you have any understanding of the nature of the charges that would have had to be brought? My guess is you don't, and I'm not holding against you that you don't. I'm holding against you the temerity you've shown in the first sentence above by making that remark having an uninformed opinion and knowing you don't know that much about the theory and practice of law, yet making that assertion.
Why have I that level of disdain for your remark and derision for your having made it? Because the charges the DOJ could bring are of a class called "specific intent" charges/crimes that must conform to the concept of mens rea. Mens rea is a very basic level of criminal law theory not to understand and yet have an opinion about why charges are or are not brought in a very specific situation, namely the one involving Mrs. Clinton and that's gone on for as long as it has, thus giving anyone who cares to have an opinion ample opportunity to become fully informed so as to have a well informed standpoint.
It's not cool to be "loud, strong and wrong."
