Congress Summons F.B.I. Director to Explain Lack of Charges in Clinton Email Case.




By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN

July 6, 2016


WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, will go before Congress on Thursday to explain his decision to recommend no criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, a House committee chairman announced Wednesday morning, as Republicans moved to capitalize on Mr. Comey’s stinging rebuke of the presumptive Democratic nominee and her handling of classified emails.


In addition, Attorney General Loretta Lynch will appear Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, and that committee’s chairman, Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, made it clear he would focus on Ms. Lynch’s impromptu meeting with former President Bill Clinton, ahead of the F.B.I.’s announcement

I tried looking for this story at other mainstream sites, but am only finding it at Tea party and the such sights. So if it can be discredited I understand. Either way I want to know more about it.
Anyway it looks like the Eddie Munster look alike is the guy behind pushing for this investigation into the decision. I sure hope this is not another waste of tax payer dollars.




Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is demanding access to information tied the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton, saying the decision to recommend no charges “threatens the rule of law.”

“Under President Obama, we have seen the most politicized Department of Justice in history; I very much hope that politicization has not similarly corrupted the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Cruz said in a statement Tuesday. “I join my Senate Judiciary colleagues… in calling for public transparency of, and full access to, all the information that the FBI used to come to today’s dubious decision.”

You can't count on that, FU.

Some want to compare this to General Petraeus, the difference is that he let his lover have access to classified material, Hillary's fuck up never left the network.

I think some people have a misunderstanding of what the emails consisted of. I did. I didn't know it was call logs, I thought it was an emails like emails I am familiar with. The documents were not marked in a way many would consider classified info to be marked. It may have been nothing more than a symbol like this {this} buried in pages of logs.

Abbe Lowell was talking about it earlier. He reiterated his respect for the FBI director but went on to say it always makes him uncomfortable when law enforcement officers opine, he said Director Comey opined when he blistered Hillary.

But numerous reports, including the very recent admissions by Tony Blair, indicate that Bush knew there were no imminent threats from Saddam and deliberately misled the public and Congress in order to justify a war. Most credible sources agree Bush had an axe to grind and a very strong profit motive, and both his family's friends' oil interests and Cheney's war profiteers made billions on Iraq and Afghanistan. But that doesn't fit BG's narrative so he ignores that part. And many countries "across the pond" acknowledge that the US essentially strongarmed them into sending nominal troops into a fake coalition that was really USA driven invasion. Not to mention the fact that Bush deleted around five million emails, Karl Rove deleted 22 million emails, both on private servers including many tied to the sudden, probably illegal firing of seven atttorney generals in mid term. That's compared to 50 thousand or so erased by Hilary.
But BG has never let factual data get in the way, or long term memory.
Yeah, I've seen the "far left field version" hippie boy. The truth lies somewhere in between the two, but Hilary clearly broke the law, tried to cover it up and lied her ass off and didn't get charged with anything. Shouldn't you be bathing in a stream somewhere or did you already take your weekly bath? BTW, Bush and Cheney were already convicted of war crimes back in 2012 which was probably around the time when you were off the grid in your tin foil hat hiding from FEMA hah
The Clinton foundation is next, she has more fleas than a dog in a cat house. She also has a trust problem that just never goes away and I wouldn't feel safe in a lifeboat with her in it.
OK, just thinking out loud here, but, If during this meeting with congress they decide that the no charges filed ruling is not right, can congress say Hell No and find a way of charging her ? Then, if she gets charged and convicted and becomes unable to run for president . . . . . [sorry just pausing to let my brain process that joyous thought] . . . . who would take her place? The Bernster maybe?

Are you saying that's what caused the United States to invade Iraq?

There have been a few stories on this lately.
You just proved what I said above. At least three of the above stories make it clear that the two highest intel sources closest to Saddam made it plain there were no WMD's and were completely ignored by Bush and Blair. Even the top UK spies who originally claimed a huge discovery of WMD's quietly refuted that info a year later...and their refutations were ignored as well. The people who wanted war and could make it happen sold their respective countries a boatload of outright lies, that evidence is now showing they KNEW were outright lies. And in the case of Bush and Rove, whitewashed the entire thing after the fact by deleting millions of emails and shredding documents.

But somehow Hillary is the criminal lol.

I wonder how many classified conversations Monica overheard while hiding under the desk. hah

Congress doesn't have that kind of power and if they did what would you charge her with?

Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States of America. You'll be biting that pillow for the next 8 years.

That's why I asked. I don't know how far the powers of congress reach.
What charges? I am not the lawyer so that would be up to them. I say throw anything and everything at her, just like they would if it were you or I and see what sticks.

And just like you say that you will never like Big D, I will never call that woman my president. I think, if elected, she could be the trigger that starts the next revolution. Tooooooo many people hate her and are tired of her kind making and breaking the rules.

I'm not exactly sure on that either. Those in here who are smarter than me will be able to answer that though. I find so much of it very confusing.
The only good thing that comes out of this may be that anyone else that does the same thing can cite the Clinton case. I'm not so sure that's a good thing though.
My biggest fear is exactly what F.U. says, that it no longer matters which candidate wins. We may be diametrically opposed as to which candidate is the worst thing for this country, but there are even numbers of truly insane people on either side who are just ITCHING to watch it all burn. We may have real problems in the next few years no matter who gets elected.

It does set a precedent, and no, that's not a good thing.
There's already precedent for not prosecuting governmental officials who mishandled sensitive and classified information (where there was no intent to give access to such information to anyone without clearance).

One good thing to come out of the Clinton email controversy, in my opinion, is exposure. I would be surprised if another high ranking official or cabinet member makes the same terrible judgment call in the future. And, I wouldn't be surprised if some others already had similar systems in place and abruptly got into compliance with standards and policies after the Clinton case hit the news.

FBI Director Comey is known as a straight shooter and well-regarded by both Republicans and Democrats. He's publicly contradicted Obama in the past. Today, he testified in front of the House and re-iterated that Clinton's actions did not warrant prosecution. Now, the House wants to launch an investigation about whether she lied under oath.

This is an example of why I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton. The whole thing could have been avoided if Clinton was not so worried about political foes accessing her communications, in my view. I think that was probably her motivation for making such a terrible and short-sighted decision; a decision that is biting her in the ass big-time and feeding the very kind of activity she was trying to avoid.

Bill's chit chat with Loretta Lynch was another unforced Clinton error and scandal-enabler. No matter what he and Lynch did and didn't talk about, the timing was awful and they both should have known better. Perception matters. Fuel to the fire.

Nobody made Hillary Clinton set up a homegrown server in her private residence. Nobody made her mislead the public about it. And, nobody made Bill Clinton pay a visit to the Attorney General days before the FBI Director was set to announce the results of the investigation.

The scandals surrounding the Clinton are not all witch-hunts. Some of them are definitely their own doing.


So, now they're going to investigate the investigation of the investigation.

I'd like to shove Hillary's server up Paul Ryan's ass. He has bigger fish to fry than wasting more tax dollars.
I'm frustrated by the whole mess too, Duchess.

But, one of the biggest fish on Paul Ryan's fryer is keeping congress filled with a Republican majority after the down ballot elections early next year, no matter which candidate wins the presidency.

Comey's scathing commentary on Clinton's actions, despite a lack of charges and indictment, was a useful tool to Paul Ryan and the GOP in that regard. In my opinion.

Exactly and that's what he should be devoting his time and resources to rather than wasting more tax dollars. Hillary's case is over. The Republicans are not going to change anything with further investigation, they are grasping at straws.

When it comes to money, the Republicans are willing to devote an unlimited amount to nailing the Clinton's. This will only be one more unsuccessful investigation in a long line of many. In a sense I'm glad Paul Ryan is doing this, it will be further proof to the voting public that Democrats need to get the majority. Aha!
For some reason, I keep picturing John Boehner having a scotch on the rocks and crying.

Only now he's crying tears of joy for having gotten his ass out of the hot seat before the Trump nomination became an unforeseen reality.

I have mixed feelings about Speaker Ryan, but I sure as hell wouldn't not want to be in his shoes. Sometimes I wonder if he regrets accepting the position.
