When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ? Part 2

Well, on Thursday, Republicans decided they’d hold a blatant political stunt hoping for a “gotcha” moment bring FBI Director James Comey in front of Congress for questioning.

While they did get Comey to say a few things negatively about Clinton, when they asked most of their blatantly leading questions, the answers he provided typically did nothing but debunk a lot of the propaganda Republicans have been pushing about this entire situation for over a year.

Let me run through a few of the “lowlights” for Republicans.

1. When Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) asked if the classified emails that Clinton received were properly marked, Comey said they were not. He stated that they should have had headers and banners indicating they were classified. He even went on to say that it would be a “reasonable inference” to assume that, with the absence of these banners and headers, Clinton could have easily assumed the email was not classified.

This means that while some were marked classified (which is a contradiction to what Clinton has been saying this whole time), none of the ones found on her server were properly marked and he believes it was “reasonable” for Clinton to then assume that those emails were not, in fact, classified.

2. When Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) asked if Clinton lied to the FBI, Comey said, “We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.”

In other words, what she told the FBI lined up with the rest of their extensive investigation.

3. When Chaffetz asked, “Did Hillary Clinton break the law,” in reference to her setting up this private email server, Comey said that based on his experience as a lawyer and in law enforcement that it was his “judgment that she did not.”

Yes, that’s the Director of the FBI saying that Hillary Clinton did not break the law when she used the server. This is huge considering the whole basis for most of the GOP’s propaganda about this situation is their belief that she should be indicted because she broke the law — even though the Director of the FBI just told Congress that she didn’t.

You can't charge Clinton under this law because it fails the "knowingly"

Show that Clinton knowingly removed documents from anywhere.

I agree with you. I had a Top Secret clearance in the military, and we understood the rules of classified material.
What I found interesting is that the atom bomb we worked with in the late 1950s is now displayed at the museum in Fredericksburg, Tx.

Is it possible she reminds some people of a cruel teacher or Aunt?

What was damaging about the information that was sent.

They don't treat people who are guilty of reckless driving according to the "no harm, no foul" philosophy.

Did hackers successfully break into her computer and access her emails?

Attempts were made, but the IG and FBI found no evidence that any attempt was successful. That does not mean, however, that none was successful.

The IG report said hackers attempted to access Clinton’s server on Jan. 9, 2011, but Clinton’s technical support adviser shut down the server to deny access. The report also said that Clinton received two phishing email messages on May 13, 2011, that contained suspicious links. Both attempted breaches should have been reported, but were not, according to the IG report.

The FBI director said the lack of direct evidence that Clinton’s server was successfully hacked by “any foreign power or other hostile actors” doesn’t mean it wasn’t. “[G]iven the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence,” Comey said. “We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.”

You're all pissed about 'top secret' emails but you have literally ZERO clue what they may be about.

I mean, I get it....you're looking for anything you can to hurt the opposing party

Really? You mean that "top secret" doesn't mean top secret?
