Comey's decision to let Hillary walk is a boomerang slicing back to hit her.

[Donglalinger]

I have a theory also,Comey is a coward

[usconservative]

That’s not a theory, that’s demonstrated FACT.

Good post. Well reasoned article, an excerpt:

By taking at length about all the evidence that clearly shows Hillary was guilty of at least gross negligence in her handling of classified information – which is absolutely a criminal violation regardless of intent – he might as well have been waving a banner that proclaimed “The Fix Is In.”

Trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt here b/c he did make contradictory statements......Comey actually did not let Hillary completely off the hook.

Comey pitched out a boomerang that's slicing back to cut Hillary to pieces. Sounds good to me.

Comey’s choice of words was a compromise decision designed to protect Hillary. If he had said she did nothing whatever wrong, the backlash would have been worse. It allows the Democrats to say that she made a minor mistake, thus serving to cover up the fact that she got off scott free.

The one true clear and convincing act this man could have done is to say “go forward with prosecution”.

Regardless of what this coward said or did (equivocations and admonitions of perceived guilt and faults), no recommendation to go forward with prosecution gave Clinton exactly what she needed - an edict of “no guilt” because there will be no prosecution. Reason for the willing MSM to lie and equivocate with a sense of legitimacy.

He is a coward and a traitor in my opinion and he heads an organization that is corrupt and evil through and through from the gate house up to the executive floors.

I posted the same conclusion yesterday. I would have preferred if Comey did the honorable thing and announced his resignation in protest before laying out the case against her. But in any case, he DID lay out the case and it was clear that she committed numerous actionable violations. He made his case against her and then as plainly as anyone in DC ever says anything he said that the AG’s office has refused to indict.

Nice take:

By talking at length about all the evidence that clearly shows Hillary was
guilty of at least gross negligence in her handling of classified information
– which is absolutely a criminal violation regardless of intent – Comey
might as well have been waving a banner that proclaimed “The Fix Is In.”

Comey: "The Fix Is In"....but I ainta going along w/ it.

This may actually hurt her politically. Some of my friends were chatting about this on FB yesterday. They are pretty much non-political and “middle of the road” types. They were not at all happy about yesterday’s news. She is above the law and is unethical, they wrote among other things.

This could be very well playing out across the country right now. What people know about the Clintons, they are unethical, dishonest, untrustworthy. After yesterday, add to the list, incompetent and above the law.

Comey’s job was to investigate and recommend indictment, if warranted. He did not do his job. He should have recommend charges and let the DOJ fall on its sword. Wouldn’t have changed the outcome, but doing it this way, Comey has no honor, did not do his duty, and is a traitor to the country and the constitution.

I agree Comely did what he could to prove Hillary’s criminal actions

Once Obama endorsed her and announced he was going to campaign with her it became the FBI versus the president and no way that was going to happen so he did the next best thing by laying out her criminal actions

[Joe Boucher]

You are far too kind towards senore’ Comey

[Lazamataz]

If I am Comey, I get in front of the cameras, announce the FBI will not pursue prosecution, and quit right on the spot.

Everybody would get it.

[Michael.SF.]

I was actually thinking g along these lines and was going to phrase it as: Did Comey set up Hillary for charges should Trump win? His phrasing defines ‘gross negligence’

[Travis McGee]

Then if he wants to regain his lost honor, and that of the FBI, he must resign, and describe who and when he received those orders.

[Mouton]

I agree with your comments, this guy is no hero. What he did was fall on his sword rather then putting the DOJ on the spot.

Years ago, Mitchell then AG ended up convicted of some charges with the BS break in and cover up scandal. That does not happen anymore, these guys do wash their own laundry in public and no one cares.

Mitchell btw was a naval WWII hero not some cheap suit draft dodger like the husband of Hitlery. She and her husband should both be in jail.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Not cutting Comey any slack because he is ( with the power of the Federal Government behind him) going after what little privacy we have remaining in our lives. He is the face a government which believes the feds have the right to access all areas of the lives of every American citizen through the front or back door, with or without notification in the name of security.

Anyone of us could be a terrorist, donchaknow.

He lied when explaining his recommendations. He lied about previous cases. He lied about no intent.

Comey lied to protect Clinton. He tried to split the baby hoping to save as much of his reputation as he could. Massive Fail.

[miss marmelstein]

Tell that the American commenters on the Guardian. They refuse to look at the details and instead focus on the fact that “she did nothing wrong.”

[Gaffer]

That is what a man with honor confronted with the impossible does. He is no man with honor, however.
