Our justice system is more corrupt than Zimbabwe.
Thanks for your sensible post. Lots of folks going off half-cocked on this thread. My advice: Get a grip on your emotions, it isn’t event halftime yet.
Ask yourself: If you were Trump, when would you want DOJ to start prosecutions with the ultimate aim of doing as much damage to the RATs electoral prospects as possible?
I think late summer in the year before the election is just a bit too early. Yes, just a bit. Just a bit.
And as much as I’d like to see every swamp dweller shipped off to Gitmo, it’s more important to first neutralize them, keep them from doing any further harm to our nation. And that can best be achieved by keeping them out of public office.
With Trump, timing and misdirection is everything.
This should wholly eliminate any lingering skepticism as to the existence of the Deep State. Hillary / Comey / Brennan / McCabe / Lynch et al have been so uppity and brazen only because they know they’re above the law.
Trust Sessions!
Q
The joke is on us, it seems
Exactly the sort of whitewash over serious crimes that most of us expected.
It appears clear to me now that no one will be held accountable for trying to stage a coup against this US President.
Had these people done the same thing to Obama, I daresay they would all be in prison right now.
With Trump, timing and misdirection is everything.
Absolutely. If this was good news it can wait until next week. Bad news gets dumped before a major holiday weekend when everybody is outside of DC and not in front of TV cameras. Sorry.
You mean like having a "debt ceiling"?
Gov. is corrupt as hell...because so many of them are FROM...hell.
"A republic, if you can keep it."
We all knew for weeks that there would not be a prosecution. So why the surprise. Now if nothing happens after the FISA. Then there are major problems here.
This traitor was the head of the FBI - if anyone needed to be prosecuted, it was him. Don’t read Comey’s tweet response, it will make you break things - he is mentally unhinged.

From this day forward I am going to literally laugh in their face whenever the GOPe stooges come to Trump country looking for our votes. POTUS has changed this country. Forever.
Thank you for bringing some sanity to this thread which is chock-full of the usual knee-jerk negativity. Yes, it has been known for several weeks now that DOJ decided not to prosecute Comey for the mishandling of these documents.
While I was disappointed, my take on it was that there are bigger things coming with the FISA IG report (of which this is not by the way). What we see today is a separate IG report on the Comey incident only.
No wehre in the report does it say “will not prosecute”.
The conclusion specifically ends with: “The OIG has provided this report to the FBI and to the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate.”
This is not the FISA abuse investigation. This is the leaking investigation. Comey will be prosecuted for the former, which is far more serious.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!
What happened to America?

There’s nothing bigger to come. Just more of the same “rules not followed” and “not criminal”. There would be no need to bury this if there was something big about to drop, obviously.
The GOP will never support criminally prosecuting their Democrat friends to the benefit of Donald J. Trump. I wish it was otherwise but it is what it is.
What you say is true, and everybody knows it. The cop's kid and the judge's kid get preferential treatment, and this principle applies in spades to insiders prosecuting each other - they don't.
But there is another factor in this case, and that is identifying a crime. Very few leaks of classified information meet the elements of a criminal offense. Leak crimes are very narrowly defined. It's a crime to leak military intelligence, cryptography, or the ID of an undercover spy - and that's about all that constitutes a criminal leak. I've been of a mind, after deliberating on it, that it is not a crime to use the government to non-violently overthrow the government. It is certainly not a crime to lie to the public, that is what the government does constantly, and I think this principle holds no matter how big the lie is, or what powers of the government are used to enforce the lie.
On the plus side, we are witnessing the most powerful palace intrigue the planet has ever produced. Factions of government are duking it out, and the public gets to whiff bits and pieces of it.
On the negative side, our government is fundamentally dishonest and corrupt. It cannot be trusted on anything.
This is not the FISA abuse investigation. This is the leaking investigation. Comey will be prosecuted for the former, which is far more serious
Comey won’t be prosecuted and the DOJ is already telegraphing why he won’t be to prepare us for more bad news. “Mistakes where made”, “No criminal intent”, “rules broken but not criminal”, etc., etc.
