Investor's Business Daily ^ | 7/14/2016 | Staff

Posted on 07/15/2016 4:47:57 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

If Hillary Clinton and her supporters figured that the email scandal had finally been put to rest when the FBI recommended that no charges be filed, they got several bits of unwelcome news this week. Not least of which is a new poll showing Hillary's support sagging in the wake of the FBI's decision.

She was not “exhonorated”. She was found to not be worthy of prosecution, big difference. Money, influence and fame Trump piety, outsider, and bland.

Hillary will never be found innocent because she will never go to court.

The FBI did not “exonerate” Clinton in any way.

They said she was guilty but that the decision was made not to prosecute.

No one outside the Clinton Crime Family who has ever held a security clearance believes what Hillary did was legal, ethical, or acceptable. We know it, our wives know it, our children know it, and even the FBI knows it. Any of us little people who did that would end up behind bars for 30 years, like Jonathan Pollard, and we all know it.

Hmmm, I think she WAS found guilty of prosecution. We were then just told, “we won’t though”. Big difference.

We don’t need an FBI Director to tell us that she did a lot worse than others that have been found guilty of less. We all know she wanted to hide her information.

At best, she’s been proven to be grossly incompetent.

Queen Hillary sneers at the serfs!

She is the law!

The FBI exists to get her coffee!

If she makes money off of killing serfs, then so be it!

She rules by divine right for she comes from the abode of the gods.....Illinois.

Long live Queen Hillary!

Long live Princess Chelsea!

In fact, that very meeting between former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch made the problem WORSE, not better, because it raised suspicions of a quid pro quo between the two. And it didn't help that FBI director James Comey is on the Board of Directors of HSBC Holdings, corporate parent of HSBC Bank, who has donated massive amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation (can you say massive conflict of interest?).

The fallout begins. Here’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods:

Bothwell leaves Democrats over Clinton
http://www.citizen-times.com/staff/30409/joel-burgess/ Joel Burgess, jburgess@citizen-times.com 12:55 p.m. EDT July 14, 2016

ASHEVILLE - One of the city’s most outspoken Democrats, Cecil Bothwell, says he’s left the party over its choice of presidential candidates, leveling strong criticism at Hillary Clinton and calling the former secretary of state “entirely untrustworthy” and “a felon.”

“Bernie Sanders announced the end of his campaign this morning by endorsing Clinton. As of an hour ago I am registered unaffiliated for the first time since I cast my first vote in 1968,” Bothwell, who is a city councilman, said in a Tuesday Facebook post.

The post generated more than 100 comments from those supporting and opposing the move, including fellow Councilman Gordon Smith who defended Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton. Bothwell, whose Facebook profile picture is a Sanders’ campaign sign, responded to the comments with the strong criticisms of Clinton and saying he was “pretty sure a (Donald) Trump presidency would be the best outcome for the Democratic Party.”

Bothwell is known as a firebrand who didn’t shy away from conflict with other Democrats, most recently on issues including his opposition to the city ban on short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods and his support for turning city-owned property on Haywood Street into a downtown park.

After his initial post Bothwell responded to some commenters who questioned whether he was being extreme and who said Clinton had agreed to incorporate some of Sanders’ positions.

Bothwell said Clinton could not be trusted to carry out those promises and that the election of the Republican Trump might galvanize Democrats around progressive issues.

“I detest Trump and his made-for-reality-TV campaign,” he said. “But I’m pretty sure a Trump presidency would be the best outcome for the Democratic Party. The DNC seems to have abandoned the people, the DNC congressional leaders seem to have joined the oligarchy. What more can we possibly do to create a revolution within the party beyond urging everyone we know to vote for (Green Party nominee Jill) Stein?”

Smith and some others pointed out that Sanders had said Clinton was the most viable candidate. The councilman called Bothwell’s Trump comments a “burn the village in order to save it” philosophy.

At one point Bothwell called Clinton a “felon,” “congenital liar” and “beyond the pale of ... human normalcy.”

Asked Wednesday about the strong language, Bothwell said Clinton is “at bare minimum” a perjurer and her sworn Congressional testimony about her handling of classified information as head of the State Department was false according to the FBI director. He said he thought she would take the country into war, approve bad trade deals and increase “corporate control.”

Buncombe County Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sinclair thanked Bothwell for “his dedication to the community” and commitment to support local Democratic candidates in the fall.

But Sinclair said the best way to support Sanders’ ideas was to help elect Clinton.

The party chairwoman said Sanders had “contributed to creating the most progressive platform ever.”

“His supporters participating in the election of Hillary Clinton as our next Democratic president will be a display of loyalty to Senator Sanders, and the only way his contributions can move forward,” she said.

Sinclair did not respond to questions about Bothwell’s specific criticisms of Clinton or whether she was concerned that others might follow him out of the party.

So Obama said the police acted stupidly before knowing any of the facts, but now that some of the facts are known in the Hillary email case, not only does he not say she acted stupidly, he endorses her for president. Stupid is forever and that applies to both of them. then on top of that she has been lying in our faces for over 4 years about it to cover up

What kills Me is that anyone with an IQ over room temperature KNOWS what she has done was illegal, criminal, and willingly done with foreknowledge and full evil intent.

But they won’t admit it, willfully ignore it, or claim it’s all ‘in the past’ and ‘old news’...

AND WILL VOTE FOR HER TO BE THE NEXT POTUS ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY DON’T CARE!
