Allen West explains why he 'can't thank' FBI 'enough' for not recommending charges against Clinton
Business Insider via AOL ^ | July 6, 2016 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 07/06/2016 9:47:21 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Former Florida Congressman Allen West wrote in a blog post Wednesday that he was "delighted" the FBI will not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email system as secretary of state.

"I can't thank Director [James] Comey enough for coming to this decision," West wrote.

The conservative firebrand said he "always" had "concern" President Barack Obama would "release the hounds" on Clinton in an effort to replace her as the presumptive Democratic nominee with Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden, West contended, would have been far more difficult for Donald Trump to defeat in November.

"That would be a really tough ticket to beat, since Joe Biden's favorables, regardless of gaffes and such, are extremely high," West wrote.

West wrote that Comey had instead opted to leave Clinton in the race as a significantly damaged candidate — a "gift wrapped with a bow" to Republicans.

Obviously, Col. West is overlooking the certain fact that Obunga CAN’T throw Hillary under the bus. The Clintons have a dossier on Obunga that could give him “life” in Leavenworth at the least; or hanging at the worst.....for him, that is.

That was the message Bill delivered to Loretta on the tarmac in Phoenix last week. It’s also the reason Barky was taking Hillary for a campaigning joyride on Air Force One on Tuesday morning and giving her the use of The Great Seal for her speech, while a sweating wholly-owned (by the Clintons) Jim Comey was telling the Nation that Hillary was guilty but that she was being given a pass, and equivocating his immortal soul to a cinder in the process.

What was the name of that couple who were the ruthless dictators of.....Romania, was it.....until the Romanian PEOPLE rose up, arrested them, and gave each and both of them a blindfold and their final cigarette? I couldn’t spell it if I even COULD remember it......Ceaucesceau? Well, whatever their names were; America now has a couple JUST LIKE THEM (the Clintons) to call her very own.....until the PEOPLE rise up!
IMHO.

Republicans win when they run conservative populists. When they put up losers like McCain and Romney, they will deservedly lose.

I’ve just lost all respect for Allen West. He appears glad that laws were not enforced on Hillary. He sees a political expediency to keep Hillary in the running rather than a (stronger) Biden.

You, Allen West, had aspired to be our president, who must stand to enforce the rule of law in this country.

Well, that is certainly a more optimistic take on the situation than I took from it.

I had thought that Comey’s actions were a result of his decision to avoid committing suicide and being dumped in Fort Marcy Park. Lynch’s meeting with Bill Clinton was almost certainly to discuss such possibilities.

I hope you are correct, and that Comey is playing a larger game!

Look at what Ryan is doing - taking away her (and Huma’s) security clearance.

Ryan announcing he's going to take away Hillary's security clearance is like Billy Ray announcing he's going to take away Miley's drugs.

That is a side of this I had not considered. Could this whole thing be a stratagem by Comey to get the information out to the public?

If he was looking at the long game, keeping Hillary out of the White House, this could be a possibility. But has Comey ever been this political in his career?

The Clintons are very good at using a small carrot or a large stick to get the cooperation of small men like Comey..

These last 8 years have simply demonstrated that the country of 25 years ago is gone; with each passing day more vestiges of it are wiped away. This isn’t an Obama thing (he’s just the hollow puppet doing the bidding of powerful white men); it is a reflection of the erosion of the WASP principles that created this country and culture.

When terms like “socialist” are construed as racist, then you realize that instead of emulating successful people with productive habits we are pandering to the lowest common denominator...

Reports like yours give me hope that we can win in November.

The verse in your tagline is extremely prophetic for America in 2016.

The choice could not be clearer, and the consequences as well.

You’re mixing up Manafort with Corey Lewindowski. Manafort is not a neophyte; quite the opposite. While I think there is a place in Trump’s cabinet for Newt, perhaps not VP. I don’t give a damn about Newt’s marriages - at least he marries ‘em unlike Billy who simply gives his women plastic Aeroflot bags after oral sex (check out Monica’s ‘gifts’). Newt is a brilliant man.

I’m a female and have been supporting Trump from almost the beginning of his campaign.

Alan West is wrong as usual.

The Diebold vote counting programs are written, ready-to-go and disappear afterward. YT has the latest videos on it.

“O” wants to be US ambassador to the UN and he knows that Hillary will be the only one to do that for him.

Where ELSE can he go when he leaves the WH?

If any republican can break this logjam


When you understand that the Democrats and the Republican party share the same goals (The Republican party is the WASHINGTON SENATORS to the Democrat GLOBETROTTERS)it all becomes clear.

How else can it be explained why the Republicans are so ineffective even when given a majority in both houses and the Presidency?

How else can it be explained why some of the worse laws enacted have been done under a Republican President.

The two party system is an illusion.

You will noticed that as soon as a new Republican enters Congress they are soon absorbed by the Uni-party, they are worse than the BORG.

Trump was not suppose to happen. I fear for his life.

We will see how much information Comey divulges before Congress. IMO Comey will minimize what Hillary did to defend his actions. He will provide quotes that the Dems will use to defend Hillary. And the Dems on the committee will ensure that the hearing appears to be a partisan witch hunt.

The Reps always screw up at these critical hearings failing to ask the right questions and overplaying their hand. Comey and the Dems will make them look like fools.

If Comey had any integrity, he would have resigned after the Lynch-Clinton meeting. Comey and the FBI failed the acid test. They have shown the extent of rot and corruption at the highest levels of government, including the career bureaucracy. You can’t put any lipstick on this pig.

See my post #56.

Re the alleged investigation of the Clinton Foundation, I have seen nothing to indicate that the FBI is doing one. You know Comey will not confirm such an investigation is ongoing. And given Comey’s demonstrated reluctance to influence the Presidential campaign, nothing will happen regardless until after November.

You can rationalize and excuse Comey’sactions all you want. The truth is that he caved under political pressure and failed to do his job. It is a disgrace.

It is easier to hang a white male out to dry, rather than a black female. Comey will be brought before Congress and he’ll take responsibility for a decision that he parroted but which obviously did not originate in him.

He’s just following orders, but the matter calls for a scapegoat and nobody wants to commit a high-tech Lynching on a black Democrat.

Either way he went on the Clinton culpability, his job would be lost, but I suppose he has chosen the way that saves his pension.

His honor? Oh, that’s a secondary issue.

See “Milgram Experiments” for further elucidation.
