When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ?

The fact is he has a pretty good record as a loyal Democrat.

Although Comey was a registered Republican for most of his adult life, he disclosed during Congressional testimony on July 7, 2016 that he is no longer registered in any party.[63] In the past Comey donated to U.S. Senator John McCain’s campaign in the 2008 presidential election and to Governor Mitt Romney’s campaign in the 2012 presidential election.[64]

I think it's just as bad to vote automatically as it is to skip voting.

FBI Director James B. Comey announced Tuesday morning that the FBI will recommend that no charges be filed against Hillary Clinton as a result of the FBI inquiry into her handling of her email while Secretary of State.

No doubt Republicans will launch nasty attacks on Comey and Hillary alike.

But, for several reasons, the FBI’s decision on Clinton will prove even more powerful on close study.

First, the No. 1 attack will be that Democratic influence, not the merits of Hillary’s position, got the FBI to clear her.

But before buying into the notion of Democratic influence on Comey, look at his own record, which is as solidly Republican as they come.

He identifies himself as Republican. He served as counsel on the 1996 Republican Senate Whitewater Committee, run by Sen. Al D’Amato, which relentlessly and fiercely excoriated the Clintons.

President George W. Bush appointed him U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, then Bush promoted him to Deputy Attorney General, the second post in Justice. He ran the Department for Bush under John Ashcroft and Alberto Morales. He gave campaign contributions to McCain and Romney. Come on. Does Comey’s Republican background have to be tattooed on him to be accepted?

Second, Comey said “no reasonable prosecutor” would indict her. So, the second attack will be that, somehow, Comey’s judgment is not to be accepted.

But, he has one of the finest sets of prosecutorial credentials in the country. In the NY federal prosecution office, he served for many years as a line prosecutor and then supervisor. He took on the tough and high profile cases, from the Gambino crime family to Martha Stewart.

As Deputy Attorney General he supervised all — yes all — the nation’s federal prosecutions. To put it differently, his prosecutorial judgment has been refined in scores, if not hundreds, of major decisions. Let a critic with better credentials step forward.

Third, the FBI had extraordinarily complete access. A lot was made last month about the report of the State Department Inspector General. But the State IG did not question Clinton. That was reserved for the FBI in its 3-1/2 hour examination of her, in which she was subject to the potential of harsh criminal punishment for a misstatement. The FBI got to give her the third degree. Which she submitted to voluntarily. Comey surely studied that examination in reaching his judgment.


Moreover the FBI had her private server. The IG did not. So Comey had the overview of the full evidence.

There will be a public cacophony now on this subject. It will stand out that the judgment was that of Comey. Consider the source.

Since it turns out no one has hacked into her email server and people have hacked into the state department, ...

Just because there are facts that show Hillary had emails that were later considered classified

doesn't make her guilty of a crime.

The only one using smoke and mirrors here is you oralloy.

ROFLMAO...
Facts are such inconvenient things, aren't they oralloy.

Quote:

Update, July 7: Comey told Congress that three emails sent and received by Clinton had “portion markings” — a letter “C” in the body of the emails — indicating the presence of classified information. The State Department said it believes that at least two of the emails were marked in error.

So 3 emails, 2 of which were wrongly marked and a third which the State Department hasn't seen to comment on, is now 110 according to your "facts"?

Facts are such inconvenient things.

So are numbers, like when 3 doesn't equal 110.

Personally I am so tried of this email thing it ain't even funny.

Comey said she didn't know when she did it she broke the law so her actions do not warrant an indictment.

She used a personal server which was legal at the time she used it to communicate with those in her state department.

There are more important issues to be discussed such as

Why would anyone continue to try to cover for someone as dirty as Hillary and Bill Clinton???

Clinton will be speaking to the civil rights organization following the deaths of two unarmed African-American men at the hands of police and the fatal shooting of five police officers in Dallas, and in the middle of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, where Donald Trump will likely secure the party's nomination.

Wanna bet? Republicans have a genius for finding cooked-up "issues" which they percolate for a time in the Right Wing Noise Machine, (talk radio, Fox News, various websites, etc) and then serve to the public. The public stays interested for a short while and then tires of the convoluted intricacies and "scandal" and how little any of this is connected to their lives in general. And so we move onto the next "scandal" the righties percolate, and then the next, etc etc.

Nobody's gonna care about this crap in a couple of weeks, let alone Election Day.

After which, Republicans will holler and scream on the media and social networks that America has lost its sense of morality, because nobody cared about the Emails.

In several respects Blickers' voice is one of the more strident on this thread. With that in mind, I find it odd that she so frequently characterizes the statements of those who have a different view from hers as "hollering and screaming"

I hope you are right, in my opinion, this is such a non issues it angers me the extent of mileage those who do or say anything when it comes to the Clinton's are getting out of it.

Unfortunately, while Comey did say she didn't knowingly break any laws, he phrased the whole announcement in such a way it is taking a hit. Undeservedly so in my opinion, but there it is.

Since it turns out no one has hacked into her email server

and it turns very few actual emails were classified at the time she sent or received them and of those views they were marked in error or marked confusedly,

she wasn't all that careless

and she didn't do anything different than other Secretary of State

which means she did nothing wrong that she knew of.

She was busy woman as is evidenced by her very emails quantity, she had been all over the globe, it was probably was more convenient to use her own email server

and heck of lot of more secure.

I'm not sure what all this hullabaloo is all about.

I always thought that computers retained records even if they are erased.
