This was a gift. Pure and simple. By outlining in detail the rationale for indictment, but not recommending indictment, Comey did us a great favor. Some points:
- The hildabeast, if indicted, would be prosecuted in DC. The chance of getting a conviction there are nil.
-The hildabeast is by far the weakest candidate the rats could be stuck with. If she was forced to step aside, we might face an opponent that actually had some charisma or some faint veneer of ethics.
-This hands a great campaign theme and opportunity to appear Presidential for Donald Trump. He could give a great speech on the need to restore the rule of law.
- Ultimately it forces the issue to be resolved in the political realm where We The People have a chance of prevailing, rather than the court system where we have zero chance of prevailing.
- It fuels the theme that the system is rigged. And a candidate who can plausibly argue that they will act to correct that will have the upper hand.
They see the Hypocrisy.
