Donald Trump took to Twitter with his usual bombast in response to FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that charges not be brought against Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified information in connection to private email servers. "The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment," the GOP's presumptive nominee tweeted.

18 USC 793...specifically makes it a crime for anyone “entrusted with … any document … or information relating to the national defense … through gross negligence (to permit) the same to be removed from its proper place of custody.” So even if Hillary Clinton never “intended” for sensitive information to be exposed, keeping it outside of the normal storage and safeguards of the government is more than sufficient for a case to be prosecuted. But the fundamental premise of saying there was no malicious intent is still dishonest in and of itself. Whether she cared for it or not, Secretary...

Comey’s words… Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position,...

Dear Mr Comey.....you had a chance to prove to the American people that the LAW still stands in this once great country. YOU FAILED! May as well rename your agency. There is no FIDELITY. There is no BRAVERY. And there is absolutely NO INTEGRITY in your agency.

I apologize. I apologize for kicking your asses because you were late for formation. I apologize for kicking your asses for selling government property. I apologize for kicking your asses for not taking proper care with communications security. I kicked your asses for much less than what Hillary Clinton is getting away with. I humbly apologize. I thought we had laws and rules and regulations. I guess we don't.

And people thought that FBI Special Agent John Connolly was an "anamoly". Whitey Bulger, who's getting the last laugh, knows better...

FBI Recommends No Charges Should Be Filed Against Hillary Clinton By Meghan Keneally GENEVA SANDS Jul 5, 2016, 11:20 AM FBI Director James Comey said today his agency is not recommending that charges be brought against Hillary Clinton as a result of the year-long investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

Make up your own new HilLIARy campaign slogans.

In a surprising statement which concluded moments ago, FBI directos James Comey announced that Federal officials have decided not to pursue federal charges against Hillary Clinton for her private email setup, an announcement that will send a shockwave throughout national politics. In a press briefing at the bureau's headquarters in downtown Washington, Comey said investigators and prosecutors had concluded there was not sufficient evidence to push forward with an indictment against Clinton, clearing her of a federal investigation that has loomed over her presidential campaign for nearly a year. Comey's announcement comes just three days after the former secretary of...

A favorite little “trick” we play on two year olds in my family is “I got your nose” where you put your hand on the child’s face and pull it away with your thumb sticking out between your index and middle finger. You show the tip of your thumb to the child and say, “I got your nose.” The child then puts his/her hand up and on finding a nose we both laugh. If this is tried on a three year old the kid looks at you like you’re insane. Rush Limbaugh is convinced the meeting between Bill Clinton and...

Washington, D.C. July 05, 2016 * FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691 Remarks prepared for delivery at press briefing. Good morning. I'm here to give you an update on the FBI's investigation of Secretary Clinton's use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State. After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI is completing its investigation and referring the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what we found; and what we are recommending...

WOW -- JUST WOW!!! sloppiness, negligence, etc. but not willful and intentional acts 162 emails contained classified email. 8 - top secret 2000 emails up classified to make confidential. Several thousand work-related emails discovered that Hillary didn't disclose. No evidence of intentional deletion. Evidence of Extreme Carelessness in Handling Email. There's evidence that Hillary and others should have known that handling of emails was improper. No proof of hacking, but hacking by hostile actors may have occurred. FBI Recommends: No Prosecution.

State bars across the country have become havens for the left in recent years, increasingly used to target conservative attorneys. With deep pockets — due to the exorbitant amount of dues they charge attorneys in order to practice law — it is impossible to fight back once targeted. More than half of state bars are mandatory, which means they are unavoidable if you want to practice law. This is very disturbing, considering many of these states have right-to-work laws. Why are attorneys required to join a union? Arizona has one of the most corrupt state bars in the country. Many...

The FBI is set to question Hillary. Regardless of Clinton Foundation, RICO, Pay To Play, etcc.. Hillary has already admitted to 1. Having a private Server 2. Destroying emails she claimed were personnal. 3. Failing to return all emails/documents to State Department upon her moving. What could she possibly say to exonerate herself on those charges? Nothing. Why has this taken so long? My take is her illness is starting to hasten this weekend. Maybe she won't even make it to the interview. Huma threw her under the bus with the limited info she recently provided. Bill threw her under...

Hillary Clinton's weekend interview with the FBI stands as a perfect symbol of what is probably her biggest liability heading into the fall election: A lot of people say they don't trust her. [Snip] "Trust is the glue that holds our democracy together," Clinton said last week as part of a direct effort to address the issue in this small lull between the end of primary voting and the start of full-on campaigning for the fall vote. "I take this seriously, as someone who is asking for your votes, and I personally know I have work to do on this...

Hillary Clinton is considering retaining Loretta Lynch as Attorney General if she wins the presidency, according to a report from The New York Times. Picking Lynch as a holdover from the Obama administration would help Clinton’s stated goal of making her cabinet gender-equal. But the choice would likely prove controversial given that Lynch is the ultimate arbiter in the Justice Department’s investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on Clinton’s private email server.

Hillary Clinton recently visited my home state of North Carolina, but I was not in attendance. Although I should – according to the assumptions of some – be cheering on the first female presidential nominee in American history, I cannot cheer for her. more...

Should she win the presidency, Hillary Clinton would quickly try to find common ground with Republicans on an immigration overhaul and infrastructure spending, risking the wrath of liberals who would like nothing more than to twist the knife in a wounded opposition party. In her first 100 days, she would also tap women to make up half of her cabinet in hopes of bringing a new tone and collaborative sensibility to Washington, while also looking past Wall Street to places like Silicon Valley for talent — perhaps wooing Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook, and maybe asking Tim Cook from Apple to...

NEW YORK – The emerging history that Hillary Clinton evaded a planned Justice Department prosecution in the 1990s for her evidently criminal activity in the Whitewater affair has now been fully documented by Washington-based Judicial Watch. That Hillary escaped jail over Whitewater adds concern that Bill Clinton’s tarmac meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch may have been a resumed effort to the Bill-Hillary crime partnership to keep a planned political indictment from wrecking the political foundation upon which their ill-gotten financial gains continue to depend. On Saturday, WND reported Donald Trump had tweeted his concern that, according to CNN’s unidentified...
