Hillary Clinton Should Concede to Bernie Sanders Before The FBI Reveals Its Findings

FBI Director James Comey meticulously outlined Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing and lies — before announcing she would face no consequences.

Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey stepped up to a podium and calmly and methodically demolished every single Hillary Clinton lie, spin, and evasion regarding her misuse of classified information. Months of deception blew up in her face. And then Comey decided to make her president of the United States.

Rarely have 30 minutes of television so perfectly encapsulated the decline and fall of the rule of law and the extraordinary privileges enjoyed by America’s liberal elite. After listing abuse after abuse — and detailing lie after lie — Comey declared that “no reasonable prosecutor” would prosecute Hillary for her obvious and manifest crimes. It’s good to be a Clinton.

As we ponder the magnitude of Hillary’s wrongdoing, consider the facts as uncovered by the FBI investigation. Begin with the stunning and sobering reality that Clinton sent and received Secret and Top Secret information from her unclassified, unsecured e-mail account.

WASHINGTON — The Latest on Campaign 2016 weeks before the Republican and Democratic national conventions (all times EDT):

4:03 p.m.

President Barack Obama says there’s never been any man or woman more qualified to be president than Clinton.

Obama says nobody understands the job of president until you’ve sat behind the president’s desk. He says “everybody can tweet but nobody actually knows” what it takes.

The president is poking fun at Donald Trump for his prolific tweeting. He says his daughter Sasha tweets, but that doesn’t mean she knows what it’s like to be president.

Obama says Hillary Clinton won’t quit no matter how hard the challenges.

4:00 p.m.

President Barack Obama says he knew Hillary Clinton would do a great job as his secretary of state.

Obama is touting her work in his administration during a joint campaign rally. Obama says he’s had a front-row seat to her judgment and commitment.

Obama says the “filter changes a little bit” when someone becomes a candidate. He’s referring to political attempts to denigrate her record at the State Department.

The president says he saw how Clinton treated everyone with respect, regardless of how important they were.

NO FUCKING WAY lol

WASHINGTON (AP) — Key assertions by Hillary Clinton in defense of her email practices have collapsed under FBI scrutiny.

The agency's yearlong investigation found that she did not, as she claimed, turn over all her work-related messages for release. It found that her private email server did carry classified emails, also contrary to her past statements. And it made clear that Clinton used many devices to send and receive email despite her statements that she set up her email system so that she only needed to carry one.

FBI Director James Comey's announcement Tuesday that he will not refer criminal charges to the Justice Department against Clinton spared her from prosecution and a devastating political predicament. But it left much of her account in tatters and may have aggravated questions of trust swirling around her Democratic presidential candidacy.

A look at Clinton's claims since questions about her email practices as secretary of state surfaced and how they compare with facts established in the FBI probe:

You're a fucking idiot.

"Let me repeat what I have repeated for many months now," Clinton responded. "I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified."

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means is and never has been, that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

I get the feeling you were going to be voting for Trump regardless.

So, had she been indicted you'd have voted for her?  I just can't vote for either.  Not right now.  I might skip the presidential part of the ballot.

Hillary didn't intend to fly on AF1 she just recklessly jumped on board.

Sorry Floyd, the HRC campaign will reimburse the US government for her ride in Air Force One.  This is another instance where it seems because you don't like it, then there is something illegal or wrong.

There are no laws prohibiting a sitting President from endorsing or campaigning for a nominee.  

Besides, Trump is setting himself up.  
Saturday, HRC is interviewed by the FBI and Trump tweets a Star of David.
Tuesday the head of the FBI has a news conference where he is less than complimentary about the way HRC and her campaign handled emails and set up the private server while Trump goes and praises Saddam Hussein for his ability to control terrorism.  
HRC will be the Democrat's nominee and will have an excellent chance to be the first woman to be elected President if the GOP rules committee doesn't release Trump's delegates.

Let me guess, you're going to vote for someone that's shown themselves to demonstrably untrustworthy... laughs about the freedom is pedophiles and has been involved in some shady real estate deals?

We won't even mention the links to La Cosa Nostra organized crime, of course.

DWags wrote:I'm as serious as I've ever been about not being able to vote for either. I can tell you I won't negative vote. I refuse to vote for one candidate because I don't like the other. This election is the greatest and it sucks at the same time. It is entertaining.

LooseGoose wrote:Typical of 50 years of the Libertarian Party in the US.  They have their golden chance and fail to get on the ballot in Ohio.

Instead, Harris said, Ohio Libertarians are focusing on collecting the 5,000 signatures needed for Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson to appear on the ballot in Ohio as an independent candidate.

Fair enough. You probably shouldn't vote for Hilary. I'm a pragmatist. I would have loved to see Sanders as the nominee, but at least a Clinton presidency will mostly continue my man Barry's policies, which are fine with me (mostly). All this bullshit about emails is really beside the point. Especially when a clearly republican head of the fbi says there was no intent. Meanwhile, the U.K., in ruins just put out a report on all the failings of the British and American decisions leading up to the disaster that is Iraq. Hundreds of thousands dead is not old news to me. I still want to see congressional inquiries into that here. That would actually be good use of their time.

Interesting for me:

All the "no intent" stuff being bandied about. It's very common that crimes do not require intent. All of a sudden as a cover for Hills that's important. I guess she didn't intend to hide any government records when she set up her own email server says ---??? No one. So give me a break on the no intent crap - she had intent to break the law from Day 1.
