I think your pride is hurt that Comey never found a criminal offense, and you're trying to gin up some kind of cover story to make up for it.
You seem accustomed to bullying people around and just repeating yourself no matter how much evidence is presented to you. You're obviously adept at using Google...now you just need to read and comprehend instead of linking.
Comey, in his statement, part of which I already quoted for you, explicitly said there
WAS evidence that she violated the statutes. You failure to read and comprehend his findings doesn't grant you the liberty to simply state your own convenient facts.
Without warrants. It's not "just like" an investigation where a warrant was obtained. You seem unable to distinguish between legal and illegal action. Bush's move to warrantless surveillance is not the same as the FBI's action in obtaining a judge's warrant.
Another strawman. I never compared the legality of the two. I simply compared the essence of the two. Neither did I dispute the legality of the FISA warrant..I simply illustrated that the warrant was a separate PIECE of an investigation and that the warrant was prompted in great part by the dossier which was purchased via the DNC and falsely presented to FBI because they failed to disclose that THEY PAID FOR IT and lied about it being vetted by a third party.
I don't know why you're bringing Bush into this now. While the government surveillance dragnet probably was put into effect by the 9/11 charade and Patriot Act, it was under Obama that we discovered how extensive it had become and it was Brenner and Clapper who lied under oath about it.
As you learned, Comey never said that Clinton commited any crime. I realize your pride is hurt, and you're looking for a way out. But there isn't one. He described Clinton as careless but did not find any criminal behavior:
FBI Director Says Clinton Emails Were Careless, Not Criminal—Won't Recommend Charges
That's just the way it is. No amount of fudging will change it.
Not exactly. You're the average American who Googles and links just enough info so you can arrogantly troll the net and preserve your Utopian vision of your dear leaders. But you don't read and comprehend. (Im giving the benefit of the doubt...its possible that you're just a dishonest person)
Just as I illustrated the blatant dishonesty of the other Guardian article, this one also tells half the story. keep in mind...this is what lawyers and politicians do...they spin words to obfuscate the truth.
Yes, Comey said she was careless.
He NEVER said it wasn't criminal.
He specifically said they found evidence that the statutes were violated.
He said they couldn't prove INTENT.
The statute does not specifically require intent as many laws do because this is a national security relevant statute maximizing the obligation of those entrusted with access to top security clearance.
Thats why Comey was very precise and careful in stating that the statute was violated...he NEVER said there was no criminal wrongdoing. He carefully stated that they just DECIDED not to recommend indictment because 'it had never been done before'.
You're creating quite a trail of your own lack of comprehension here and it is a great informative tool for those who have the humility to actually learn and witness the great disparity between propaganda and facts.
