Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Hillary Clinton

fbi.gov ^ | July 05, 2016 | FBI National Press Office

[fhayek]

Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way...

And then later...

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

So, what is the difference between 'grossly negligent' and 'extremely careless'?

How much longer do we wait until the public hangings begin?

Comey is a double-talking self-contradicting liar who has made himself complicit in the crime(s).

Hey, Comey made a great stick-save of his pension today. What's not to like?

"I'm with ->Her" Comey: "No "reasonable" prosecutor would bring charges against Hillary Clinton...

Quatrrone to Comey: "Says the man who once indicted me over a 23-word email that encouraged my team to save subpoenaed documents"

Maybe, on Comey’s behalf, it was a simple decision and without recourse. They could spend the time and money on a trial, but there wouldn’t be the slightest chance of a conviction by a Washington, DC jury. So, why try?

However, I personally doubt that was his rationale; I believe that White House made the decision and directed the process.

[Boomer One]

Not that I believe in conspiracies but I find odd that:
1) Bill Clinton met on the Tarmac with Loretta Lynch,
2) Obama flew Hillary to NC today,
3) Comey surprisingly found crimes committed but recommended against prosecution, and
4) Before Comey’s speech was over I got a robo call asking for donations or Hillary.

"grossly negligent" can never have a h-i-l-l-a-r-y in it...

-- So, what is the difference between 'grossly negligent' and 'extremely careless'? --

Gross negligence is a legal standard, that if met, results in a risk of criminal prosecution.

Extreme carelessness has no legal meaning or effect. Comey put those words in there as a sop to suckers.

There’s a man with a “just saved my pension!” smile...

[HarleyLady27]

Hillary will NEVER see the inside of the White House again in her life...

The America People and Donald J. Trump will make sure of that!!!

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

[dragonblustar]

Imagine that. Head of the FBI afraid of Clinton....

[nesnah]

It’s the tried and true “no controlling legal authority” argument.

[rwoodward]

Becoming the Democrate candidate is a race to the lowest chamber of hell! The more crooked and compromised you are...the more points you score! I beleive after the Kennedy assination they decided its better to kill someone politically then physically. Therefore the most compromised candidate is easier to kill politically.

[Nifster]

Crooked Hillary. And corrupt Comey. Quite a pair

Poop peddler...

[Irish Eyes]

Comey added, “Nonetheless, let me again remind you that laws and indictments are only for the little people, and Hillary Clinton is simply too important of a person for the application of laws designed for unimportant people to follow. Therefore, unfortunately, my hands are tied.”

Please tell me that is not a direct quote.

Look, if there was a question about a ‘reasonable prosecutor’, and, of course the need to hold people in power accountable, why didn't he just impanel a grand jury?
