FBI’s Comey: Hillary Clinton not 'sophisticated enough' to understand classified markings
Washington Times ^ | July 7, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 07/07/2016 2:39:36 PM PDT by Zakeet

FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may not have been "sophisticated enough" to understand the classified markings on emails she sent and received, which explains why did didn't know she was breaking the letter of the law.

Under intense questioning from Republicans, Mr. Comey said Mrs. Clinton’s public explanations of her behavior were not true. But he said his investigators couldn’t find evidence that Mrs. Clinton intended to break the law, which he said is the key to making a criminal case.

Democrats praised Mr. Comey for his findings, and blasted the GOP for demanding he testify in the first place.

"Today's hearing is political theater," said Rep. Gerry Connolly, Virginia Democrat.

The Democrat bastards in the hearing today were once again defending the indefensible.

Judge Napolitano has said for a year that lots of FBI agents will resign in protest if she’s not charged. Anyone know what he’s saying today?

Especially when Gowdy said something about all those people they had both prosecuted who didn’t know they had broken the law.

"I have you on radar going 55 in a 35 zone."

"Oh golly, Officer! I didn't understand that sign that said "Speed Limit 35".

This could be made into a very effective "different standards" / "system is rigged" commercial, with a slight alteration:

{Siren; driver [young Mom with kids] looks shocked; scene of police pulling over her car...}

Officer: (To lady driver): "Ma'am, I have you on radar going 55 in a 35 zone. Didn't you see that speed zone sign a half mile back?"

Woman: "Oh golly, Officer! I didn't see that sign!".

Officer: "I'm sorry Ma'am. Not paying attention is not an allowable excuse. Please step out of the car for a sobriety test."

Then play a Comey excerpt, with appropriate subtitling, saying Hillary did not intend to break the law, and end with something to the effect of "Would YOU get this break? And is this the America we want?"

This would need "Bang, bang, bang" production to stay @ 30 seconds, but it could be done.

Several other variations could be spun off, even questioning Hillary's sobriety, but always coming back to "preferential treatment"...

Seriously? She was Secretary of State (which deals fairly heavily in classified material as a matter of course). She’s a lawyer. She was not only Bill’s First Lady, but deeply involved in the policy stuff. That’s absurd.

Hillary Clinton is not sophisticated enough to understand the Bill of Rights, either.

Why is no one questioning WHY the clandestine email server was used and WHY the emails were destroyed ?

. its all about the fact that she destroyed the emails ! which is an obfuscation and diversion.

hey everyone look over here

the actual crime is not even a spec in the rear view mirror, its over the horizon on the dark side of the world already,

people dont run from the cops for no reason

and people dont erase emails for no reason either

The Hildebeast can’t tell the difference between her own butt and a massive hole in the ground but assures us she is qualified to take control of the most powerful economy and military in the world.

Comey later clarified his comment to “technically sophisticated”. I don’t buy it, but that’s what he said.

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, told his slaves Hillary is the next chosen one and to do whatever is necessary to make her the next President.

The Presstitutes are on board with Hillary and Hussein. Now shut up, get your weapons ready to turn them into the US government and start studying you Quaran.

When the terrorists start in your neighborhood, they will ask for Muslims to raise their hands before they slaughter everyone else. You'd better be able to answer your Muslim trivia questions or you too will join the murdered.

It's what Muslims do, they lie, they terrorize and then they conquer.

He should resign if he has any sense of decency left. I doubt that. US REP HOUSE now needs to move to impeach him. Doubt that also.

the Repubs have been playing the game

LET THE DEMONCRATS HANG THEMSELVES.

It's been obvious for years Hussein Obama is a Muslim plant, hasn't it? You do believe that, don't you?

The REPUBS are waiting for America to wake up. Slowly but surely, the obvious is getting talked about.

Hussein wants open borders because it overloads our welfare system and lets terrorists in too

Hussein wants Syrian refugees in mass so that a few terrorists get in too. His army of terrorists can cause havoc far bigger than the average American will ever believe (until it starts happening in schools, shopping malls and places of business near where you live).

Hussein is shutting down coal plants which hurts our economy

Hussein is working hard every chance he gets to ignite racial tensions. Killing in the streets of America helps the Muslims in their goal to enslave America in a Muslim hell.

ETC.

So an 18 year old GI fresh out of high school is smarter than the most intelligent woman on earth?

How does she manage to stand up?

So, what else do you have to do? Spend OPM? Grab guns?

I don't think they see things that way.

They are mostly all as corrupt as the Dems.
