The big news
last week was that the FBI did not recommend prosecuting Hillary Clinton for
her security breaches using her private server.
The Attorney General immediately announced that the case was
closed.
This was very
interesting since FBI Director James Comey’s statement listed dozens of
violations by Clinton and her staff. He
admitted to Congress that the FBI did not take into consideration any of the
statements she had made under oath to Congress, even though Comey confirms they
were lies.
Comey then
concluded that since there was no proof of criminal intent, he would not
recommend prosecution. However, the
security laws violated state that no intend is needed to be guilty of the
crime. This
was a nice way of saying she was so clueless and incompetent that she could not
be held responsible.
The FBI’s
role is to gather evidence and not to recommend prosecution. Comey also said that if anyone working for
the FBI had done what Clinton did
they would be fired and have their security clearance cancelled.
Attorney
General Loretta Lynch fell in line with the inappropriate and incorrect FBI
recommendation in spite of the fact she should have removed herself from the
case after being caught in an inappropriate meeting with Bill Clinton. The timing of the announcements by Comey and
Lynch were suspicious considering scheduled campaign appearances by Hillary and
President Obama.
Even loyal
Democrats must admit that at the very least, Hillary is guilty of poor
judgment, careless activities, and false statements under oath. The Democratic Party insiders had promised
her the Presidency, but cannot defend her.
Their only response is that Trump is worse. What does Trump have to do with Hillary’s
actions and record?
The worst
case scenario is that foreign or even corrupt domestic powers did hack her
server and gained access to those e-mails she was so desperate to hide. I know Hillary considers herself above the
law, but how bad were those e-mails for her to risk violating Federal laws, and
hurting her reputation? How badly could
she be blackmailed by someone holding these e-mails, or did they show crimes
involving the Clinton Foundation? I
don’t know, but both possibilities present a very scary scenario.
Many people
think the FBI was paid off, and maybe they were, but it may hurt Hillary’s
campaign. A lot of people are fed up
with the perceived corruption of the Washington
establishment and see this as just another example of a corrupt federal government.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds
like a duck. It’s probably a duck.
