Comey never said Hillary didn't commit any crimes Tom Send a noteboard - 07/11/2016 07:18:06 PM

He said that the FBI found no new evidence to date that would justify bringing an indictment. I disagree with his conclusion as most prosecutors would see prima facie evidence for an indictment in several matters where the Clinton Foundation received large donations from donors with matters before the State Department (the Etihad/UAE matter, Uranium One, UBS Bank and the oil company involved in the territorial waters of Haiti where Hillary's brother is on the board all come to mind immediately, though I am sure there are others).

However, even if I were not to disagree with the conclusion regarding the propriety of an indictment, there is a world of difference from "we do not see evidence rising to a level justifying indictment" and "Hillary Clinton has not committed any crimes". Comey has done his job with professionalism and won't be charged under the Hatch Act. Even the Clintons aren't that stupidly vindictive.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

So, uh, it turns out H. Clinton is NOT being charged by the FBI after all, huh? - 07/11/2016 05:41:40 PM 666 Views
