It has been said that the average great republic lasts about 200 years.
But....Lao Tzu noted that
“The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.”
And so it has happened with America....about 150 years....now we've come to this.
Who can be surprised?
Even the NYTimes writes:
1. "Hillary Clinton may not be indicted on criminal charges over her handling of classified email, but the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, all but indicted her judgment and competence on Tuesday – two vital pillars of her presidential candidacy – and in the kind of terms that would be politically devastating in a normal election year."
This is really some piece.
"Mrs. Clinton’s campaign is built on the premise that she has the national security experience and well-honed instincts to keep Americans safe in the age of terrorism, and that Donald J. Trump does not. Nearly every day, she seeks to present herself as a more thoughtful and responsible leader.
She has spent months describing Mr. Trump as “reckless,” “unprepared” and “temperamentally unfit” to be president, and she has presented her four years as secretary of state and eight in the senate as unparalleled preparation for becoming commander in chief.
Yet in just a few minutes of remarks, Mr. Comey called into question Mrs. Clinton’s claims of superiority more memorably, mightily and effectively than Mr. Trump has over the past year. And with potentially lasting consequences."

2. Nor, any surprise at the response of the usual suspects...
"You girls should resign yourselves to the fact that Hilary is going to be your next president."
"What Has America Become?"
"Exactly !! Us guys are already resigned to it -- and glad of it by this point."
"What Has America Become?"
Wow.....
Clearly the number of IQ points remains constant, and must be divided by an ever increasing population.
3. "According to Director James Comey ... Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly suggested that her recklessness very likely led to communications (her own and those she corresponded with) being intercepted by foreign intelligence services. Yet, Director Comey recommended against prosecution of the law violations he clearly found on the ground that there was no intent to harm the United States."

4. "... 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."

5. Will the reliable Democrat voters continue to act more like iron filings in a magnetic field than sentient human beings, Americans?
I'm certain that they will.
And so we see, once again, the sagacity of our national treasure.....Ann Coulter:
"Principle is nothing to liberals. Winning is everything."
