Jason Chaffetz missed a perfect chance to hit a ball out of the park
When he asked Comey if Hillary Clinton had done anything wrong Comey came back with “what do you mean by wrong?” And then went on to mumble about his various perspetives.
Chaffetz should have come back with , “ so you say answering the question “ did Hillary do anything wrong “ is just too complex a question to provide an answer. Well, OK, let me make it easier for you. Please tell me what Hillary DID RIGHT”
Comey would have been stumped , stunned and left without an adequate reply because Hillary did absolutely every wrong and nothing right in this e mail debacle
And that's a fact
To say an action was "wrong" implies a moral sense. But increasingly, it seems to me that "progressive" lawyers want to erase any distinction between what is "legal" and what is "moral." If it's "legal," then it's perfectly all right. But even if Hillary did something illegal, we can always torture the letter of the law to make her action seem consistent with "legal."
I expect most people nowadays would find the statement, "that which is legal isn't necessarily lawful" unintelligible, nonsensical. But I believe the statement is true. And the people who are fixated on taking down the Ten Commandments from the facade of the Supreme Court also evidently believe the statement is true. Which is why they want the Ten Commandments expunged, erased from human memory for all time.
Morally, Hillary is guilty as sin. Very likely, people died as a result of her hacked e-mails. Legally, Comey says she hasn't done anything wrong, and thus she has done nothing to put herself in legal jeopardy.
One gathers the preeminent legal authorities in this nation have no use for moral criteria whatsoever. And evidently, one can torture the words of the law -- the existing statutes on the books -- to make them say anything you want them to.
That is, if you're a famous-enough politician, you are protected; no one can touch you. Especially if the MSM is working overtime to shield you. But if you're just a "little guy," then the whole weight of the law will come crashing down on your head for doing far less than Hillary has done.
There has been a moral and cultural collapse of our nation. It started at the very top and filtered down from there. It has only accelerated during the presidency of Barack Obama. I think this was his plan for America all along.
What aggravates me is, why have the People let things go so far, so totally out of control? The GOP has majorities in both Houses of Congress. Why have they done NOTHING to resist the galloping corruption? Looks to me like those guys just don't want to "rock the boat." But the boat is already sinking on their watch....
