Don’t blame the FBI — Hillary Clinton was never going to be charged
The Hill ^ | September 14, 2018 | Jeff Cortese

Posted on 09/15/2018 6:15:30 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

With the exception of President Trump, few inspire otherwise rational people to erupt into vicious debate quite like Hillary Clinton. It is this juxtaposed sentiment of admiration and vitriol that led to the three reasons the FBI’s investigation into the former secretary of State’s alleged use of a personal server was never going to result in charges.

First, the Democrats didn’t want her charged. The FBI should be, and is, apolitical. In fact, it would be bad form for a president to appoint a political ally to lead the FBI. However, this nonpartisan gesture is disingenuous given the appointment of the attorney general (AG) is not made with the same care. The FBI is the investigative arm of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the AG is the head of the DOJ. Thus, FBI investigations do not result in federal charges without the approval of the DOJ and, by extension, the AG.

That is why the June 2016 meeting between former President Clinton and former AG Loretta Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix was so significant. It was unconscionable that the AG would meet with the spouse of someone under federal investigation in such a manner. Though touted as an unexpected meeting, that is inconceivable. The two security details, Lynch’s and Clinton’s, would have learned during their security advance of the other being on the tarmac about the same time. This would result in prior notification to the protectee. Finally, assurances by the AG that their discussion was unrelated to the investigation is irrelevant.

In the words of former Louisiana Gov. Earl Long, “Don’t write anything you can phone … Don’t nod anything you can wink.” Lynch’s willingness to look Clinton in the eyes, let alone entertain a 30-minute conversation, was sufficient for the public to anticipate the outcome....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is plainly obvious that this is a lie of a large magnitude.

They can’t go after Hillary without exposing the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Most of the denizens of the District of Corruption were complicit in violating the Constitution.

I always expected the corrupt Lynch DoJ to refuse to prosecute. But I foolishly expected the FBI to play things straight. Under James Comey, it didn't.

I would not be so sure that a conviction was not possible. And secondly, had by some miracle that the Lynch DoJ had brought charges, how does one argue that "Republicans" were persecuting Mrs. Clinton?

This guy can go screw himself. If Hiledebeast had won the election, I would bet money that the Russia frame-up would have been pursued to persecute Trump.

Hillary Clinton was never going to be charged with Espionage because the evidence against her also implicated the sitting president, Barack Obama. But they never thought she would lose the election.

‘First, the Democrats didn’t want her chared’

REALLY?? So, one political party can ignore criminality, if they are in charge of the DOJ??? How disgusting! Hillary is a criminal......she should be held accountable, no matter what party she is in!

BINGO!!! Nail, meet hammer. Everyone complicit should be hanged. That would require a lot of gallows on the DC Mall, but that’s exactly what needs to happen.

Obama and his complicit law-busting RAT co-conspirators have certainly proven that CRIME PAYS IN WASHINGTON, DC.

As long as we allow the perpetrators of crimes to run free, we are as guilty as they are when the next wave of felonies hit.

Don’t come to me hissing and moaning when these people commit crimes in the future. Don’t bother me when illegals kill people. Don’t bother me when people wind up dying mysteriously. Don’t bother me when they try to pull another coup.

It won’t be them alone who will be guilty.

We all will be.

We get the government we deserve. What Hillary Clinton, Huma Abadeen, the Weiner himself, Rosenstein, Mueller, Struck Stroke, and countless others did, is all on us.

We sat still as Kenneth Star and countless others swept aside criminality to exonerate the Clintons.

Then they did whatever they pleased,... AGAIN!

Folks, have we had enough or haven’t we?

What’s this noise about Hillary Clinton never being charged with a crime?

To hell with the Republic then, if that’s what we grovel in now. There is no justice. We are no better than any other banana republic if that’s the case.

Who are we kidding?

Trump leaves and a term or two later, all these players come back into power again, and they just obliterate the nation.

Is that what we’re willing to sign on to?

Indict her. Go to that bitch’s home. Grab her by the hair. Drag her sorry ass to a paddy wagon. Prosecute her. Find her guilty. Place her in a cell with no contact with her crime syndicate.

Sweep these criminals into GitMo, and forget about them.

Lynch said she and Bill happened to run into each other on the tarmac by chance and, shucks, they got on the same plane there and joshed around a little about grandchildren and stuff. Nothing important or political.

Bill doesn’t have grandchildren. Lynch was involved in a legal matter at the time involving Mrs. Clinton. Don’t think about that, though.

And the media pushed that for weeks. Incredible.

I agree. I’s never too late for that vile, putrid creature, and others, to receive justice.
