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

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

[Dilbert San Diego]

He lays out what sounds like a strong case against Hillary Clinton. Yet in the end he contradicts everything he said by saying he would not recommend prosecution.

How the heck does he reconcile the case he outlined against Hillary with a decision not to seek indictment????

“There was “evidence of potential violations” of laws against handling classified information, Comey said.”

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.”

[DarthVader]

He is using double speak to provide some HA explanation for this abomination! He is on the list now.

Hillary’s willful misconduct and gross negligence was cause for indictment. Comey is a sell-out. FUJC.

[Renegade]

Come is another liberal turd in need of flushing.

Dear Mr. Comey....RESIGN.

Go write your book.

As a legal technicality, on the basis that the evidence doesn't clearly meet the elements of 18 USC 793.

But he is duplicitous. He knows the facts make an easy 18 USC 1924(a) case.

He knows the talking heads will follow his 793 bait, which leads to a stalemate (in argument) at best, and could well result in agreement that Hillary's conduct doesn't meet 793.

Comey chose to live over dying to save the Republic.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

That's right.

Laws for thee and not for me!

Comey, you piece of pond scum!

[King Hawk]

Drain the swamp. This guy runs a department that can’t even connect the dots when someone is a blatant “look at me” terrorist.

[Ray76]

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

Easy.

Hillary is queen. The head of the nation's security does not indict the queen.

Sadly the powers that be would never have allowed Comey to become FBI director if they did not have something to remind him of when the day came for him to do the right thing. That day has come and has now gone.

[Yogafist]

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.

So am I to understand, as long as I break the law in a manner that has never been prosecuted before I don't have to worry about the penalties?

He laid back and thought of his pension as Hillary was ramming it home behind him...
