(CNN)It's not only Donald Trump and Republicans expressing their indignation at the FBI's decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified materials on a private email server.

The Tuesday announcement also set off a torrent of anger and frustration among some of Bernie Sanders' most diehard supporters, a vocal minority who have been agitating for an indictment of the former secretary of state in the hopes it would vault the Vermont senator to the Democratic nomination.

Trump and the Sanders bitter-enders had played up the possibility, pointing to what they called an "FBI convention" that would effectively block Clinton from becoming the nominee. But with FBI Director James Comey's announcement likely closing that door, social media -- including a couple high-profile Sanders backers -- erupted:

Well Sanders is the MORON who said in a debate before millions of voters that he does not care about her “damn emails.” He could have been shredding that incompetent felonious wench, but no, he had to make it easy for her.

Tough luck, Bernie supporters, your hero turned out to be just another leftist weasel.

Where’s the outrage from Paul Ryan?

Ryan is getting all wee-wee'd up over symbology, and hasn't got time for multiple serious federal felonies....

> Where’s the outrage from Paul Ryan?

Hillary probably would have taken a lot of Ryan’s buddies down with her. Maybe even Ryan himself - who knows what information she has collected over the years.

I’d bet there’s huge sigh of relief all over DC (Rs and Ds) that Hillary won’t be releasing all of the dirt she’s collected to the media and prosecutors. She’ll save it for when she needs Rs to go along with her plans.

Maybe they will go third party. Bernie doesn’t seem to be ready to join the Hillary bandwagon.

Paul Ryan is outraged ... over a 6-point star in a campaign ad.

ANYONE else would have been prosecuted

No, not just anyone; they should just come out and announce that there are two sets of laws in America...one for the rich and powerful and connected...and one for all of us.

Hannity was too polite for his radio audience today when he pointed out Ryan's half-assed statement, calling it "weak".

I'm politically impolite and I call the statement what it IS!
