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!
I think Paul Ryan is doing his job by devoting some of his time and resources (and possibly future tax dollars) to keeping Clinton's email server mess in the public eye.
Even without an indictment, Comey's assessment painted Hillary Clinton as extremely careless with government information and some of what he said contradicted Clinton's previous public assertions. That won't likely turn her supporters against her, just like the lack of indictment didn't likely motivate any anti-Hillary folks to drop the matter.
But, in swing states and among Independent and Undecided voters (which are the groups Clinton and Trump are competing for), the GOP extending the email server rhetoric for months on end could hurt Clinton and the Dems in the presidential and congressional elections. Or, as you envision, it could make the majority of those up-for-grab voters see the GOP as conspiracy theorists who are making a mountain out of a molehill and wasting more tax payer money, thus driving them to vote Democratic. Hard to say.

You know I'm a blurter, honey. I have no idea what people think or what is going to happen. I know Paul Ryan has support for opening another investigation and I think he's probably bordering on desperate right now. They were handed a gift in the form of Comey's statement and their nominee has basically squandered it. That entire party must be in complete shock & awe right now. There are so many walls I'd like to be a fly on right now.
I'm jacked the hell up waiting for the Republican convention. So psyched.

This is the link to the Abbe Lowell piece I mentioned yesterday. It begins at the :50 mark. I post it knowing it probably won't be watched by more than a couple people, if that. Some people don't want to know, not really, nope. Listening to Abbe went far in helping me to understand exactly what was classified and why Director Comey came to the conclusion he did.

The email bs is over. The hearing regarding the email bs is over. It's now being said that the GOP want to start a new investigation, this time they want to go back to Benghazi hearings and investigate whether Hillary commented perjury.

The same guy Republican witch hunters were calling their white knight a couple weeks ago just laid the pimp hand down on all of them. Pretty decisive way of saying Hillary didn't commit any crimes.

I don't know if she is in the clear yet Maggot. I think I read that congress can now have her re investigated and if they find that she lied she can get a spanking and have her clearances pulled [or something like that]. If that happens it would be pretty tough to be elected. So time will tell.

I think it would be a mistake for them to try and reopen the investigation simply because they would look exactly like the obsessive kooks they are. They risk losing seats in Congress if the GOP doesn't sort itself out pretty damn quick. Even people who think she's guilty are tired of hearing about emails.

Well, for God's sake, I hope this email crap is done and over with.... It is just all the time.......The guys and a few gals in Congress need to get to work and screen the new nominee for Chief Justice....We should dock their pay for not doing their respective jobs.......there is a lot of stuff they need to be working on that affects each of us....
It seems they have moved on to some possible new issue...just read on FB that they want to have a funeral service for every abortion performed....Now, I will admit I didn't read the entire article because of my stupid, inept browser.....maybe someone is punking us, I don't know for sure......but I think they better look into that possibly contaminated water supply they mentioned a week or so ago because this stuff just isn't normal, is it?

The highest ranking member of the national security organization said she did not break any laws. Do you know something that he and his team of highly qualified investigators do not?

That's exactly what they are doing. They didn't learn one damn thing from their creation of that fiasco that's Donald Trump.

No one will think about the emails after last night.
Oh, don't look over there, look over here. Cops being shot, blacks being shot, black lives matter, blue lives matter, racism, hate, WAR.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round . . .

And your dislike for Big D has blinded you from the reality. The bitch committed perjury and should be stripped of her security clearance. But don't worry, this shooting shit will distract everyone while that gets swept under the rug.

Watch the videos I posted, but take the blinders off first. She did not tell the truth.
