James Comey concedes he may have been responsible for Trump's election win in 2016, and the sustained, years long nightmare that continues today.

Gosh, that's incredibly ignorant of the facts. The FBI thoroughly investigated and determined they was no intent to violate any law.

Like I said, Comey ignored the law, as gross negligence is all that is required to have prosecuted her. I agree there was a massive probe, but it was all a sham, as the head of the Executive Branch already made clear they weren't going to charge her. Again, what we have is a two tier system for Demafascsit....1930 Berlin all over again.

Gross negligence is standard, and why Comey had to edit it out of his statement Clinton ‘Grossly Negligent’ in Comey’s Draft Statement on Email Probe | U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa

And she was a criminal, so what? She also compromised national security and colluded with foreign intelligence agents to frame an opposition candidate for fake crimes.

Don't quote my posts if you can't be bothered to actually read what the conversation is about.

On July 5, FBI Director James Comey announced that he was not going to recommend the filing of criminal charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server. Comey said there was insufficient evidence to show Clinton had malicious intent. Comey reasoned:

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… We do not see those things here.

Many commentators have criticized Comey’s decision, arguing the statute Clinton was accused of violating, 18 U.S.C. § 793(f), requires only “gross negligence,” not intent. Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy has gone so far as to say that replacing the words “gross negligence” with “intent” rewrites that statute to serve political ends.

McCarthy and others are mistaken. The issue of mens rea, or intent, is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and intent is the correct standard. Comey was right not to recommend filing charges and to base his decision on the absence of evidence that Clinton had the necessary intent.

the stat. literally says gross negligence. Mens rea doesn't translate to "intent" try again.

Amen! It's about time that he fesses up to the truth and reality of what he did. What he did was evil. What he did to Hillary Clinton was unconscionable. He can never make up for his atrocity. For a tall man - he should feel really small. I curse his name on a regular basis. What do you think?

So, you are in favor of our politicians committing crimes but then not being prosecuted for them, that certain higher up politicians are above the law?

You mean like Trump

Well, if Hillary can do it then why do they only prosecute Trump and not Hillary and Biden?

You know why.

By “do it” you mean sexual assault?

 

[Independent thinker]

I stand corrected. Yes, Bill Clinton should not get away with sexual assault and there should also be charges against at least Hillary, James Carville, and George Stephanopolous for facilitating Bill Clinton getting away with it.

I don't know about Carville

Still talking about that? I remember eating a calzone at a nice niche calzone shop in downtown Athens when he came up with that tripe. Sat there and watched the worst verbal gymnastics ever employed on national television unfold.

Thank you Jim, for at least scarring her credibility so bad she would go on to lose. That win was so sweet.

Don't post if you're going to snivel like an idiot and post dumb shit. We have JoeB for that.

 

[Picaro]

We didn't prosecute political opponents, way back then.

A mistake I hope he doesn't repeat in 2025; it should be Number 2 on his list of priorities after mass deportations.

I don't think Comey is evil....just stupid and very naive.

Like all the idiot Independents who voted for Trump in 2016, because of Hillary Clinton's email server....or something like that.
