U.S. attorney general closes Clinton email probe, says no charges

WASHINGTON, July 6 (Reuters) - The investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of private email while secretary of state is closed, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Wednesday, removing a legal cloud that threatened the presumptive Democratic nominee's presidential bid.

Lynch said she accepted the Federal Bureau of Investigation's recommendations that no charges be brought in the probe, as Republicans made clear they would not let Clinton's email headaches fade away easily.

"I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation," Lynch said in a statement.

With the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential and congressional elections beginning to heat up, Republicans called on the administration to make public key documents in the Clinton email case.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, speaking at a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, accused Clinton, his likely Democratic opponent, of bribing Lynch to decide not to press charges.

He was referring to reports, including in the New York Times this week, that Clinton, if elected president, might ask Lynch to stay on as attorney general.

"She said she's going to reappoint the attorney general and the attorney general is waiting to make a determination as to whether or not she's guilty. And boy was that a fast determination, wow," Trump said, adding, "That's bribery folks."

On Capitol Hill, Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 3 House of Representatives Republican, reacted to Lynch's announcement by proclaiming: "Secretary Clinton broke the law and lied about it."

Senior Senate Republicans insisted that the FBI's investigation be made available to the public, including a transcript of the more than three hours Clinton spent last Saturday in an interview conducted by the agency.

Shortly before Lynch's announcement, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters, "I think the next step...is to compare what Hillary Clinton said to the FBI with what Hillary Clinton's been saying to all of us over the last couple of years during this controversy."

In a blistering attack on Clinton, John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Senate Republican, said on the Senate floor: "The bottom line is Secretary Clinton actively sought out ways to hide her actions as much as possible" by using a private email account while heading the State Department. "And in so doing, she put our country at risk" by leaving those emails vulnerable to computer hackers.

Democrats have questioned Republicans' motives and accused them of squandering taxpayer dollars with lengthy investigations that have failed to uncover illegal activities.

"Republicans are in such desperate shape because of Trump (that) they would seize upon anything" to divert attention, said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid.

And Senator Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement following Lynch's announcement: "This investigation is closed and that should be the end of this matter."

On Tuesday, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had been "extremely careless" in her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, but he recommended no criminal charges be filed in the case.

Comey, who was deputy attorney general during the George W. Bush administration before becoming FBI director in 2013, is scheduled to testify on Thursday before a House committee, where Republicans and Democrats are expected to press him on his findings in the Clinton case.

Lynch said she met on Wednesday afternoon with Comey and the career prosecutors and agents who had investigated whether Clinton broke the law as result of email servers kept in her Chappaqua, New York, home. One question is whether she mishandled classified information.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican, said on Wednesday it appeared Clinton received preferential treatment from the FBI.

Asked whether a special prosecutor should be named to investigate the matter, Ryan said the House would not "foreclose any options."

But Ryan did say that because of her messy handling of emails while serving as secretary of state, Clinton should be denied access to classified information during the campaign.

Presidential candidates normally get such briefings once they are formally nominated. McConnell, Ryan's Senate counterpart, stopped short of calling for such action.

Clinton's campaign was anxious to move on after Comey's announcement, saying in a statement on Tuesday it was pleased with the FBI decision.

What a f-ing shock!

The Rule of Law

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

Rule of Law

Up until 7/4/2016

The rule of law is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by arbitrary decisions of individual government officials. It primarily refers to the influence and authority of law within society, particularly as a constraint upon behavior, including behavior of government officials.

“The Rule of Law was officially burned and buried on live television by the Director of the FBI. You therefore no longer have any moral requirement to adhere to the same; your entire analysis must now rest on whether you are sufficiently afraid of being shot – and nothing more. 

America, as envisioned and fought for by its founders, died at 11:00 AM ET, 7/5/2016, 240 years and one day from birth to death.”

When everyone in the world knows Killary Clinton is guilty as hell and the powers that be let her walk...

HILLARY VS. COMEY

How can anyone, whether Democrat or Republican, watch this and NOT be convinced she's a liar? 

Just in case you don't believe this is a crock of shit connect the dots.

. Bill Clinton just happen to bump into Lynch at the Phoenix airport and for a half an hour, chaperoned by the FBI (no pictures- no photos), they discussed in private golf, yoga, and his grandchildren.

. Shortly thereafter on a 4th of July weekend when most people are with their family celebrating the holiday the FBI decides to interview Clinton knowing it would gather less attention.

. Following a few days later, Comey out of the blue announces he will be making a statement at 11am. (After over a year of investigating they came to a conclusion on Clinton only a few days after interviewing her???) At 11 am he begins ripping Clinton a new one but at the very end absolves of her sins in a very unusual way. Instead of just saying..."The FBI will not be filing charges against Mrs. Clinton at this time." He takes this unprecedented step and says. "No ‘reasonable prosecutor’ would bring charges against Hillary Clinton over her private email server." So not only is the FBI not filing charges he just greased the skids for Lynch not to indict her!

. As Comey was making his announcement Barry and Killary were together on the campaign trail in NC. I assure you they knew the fix was in or they would not have been. Both claimed they never knew Comey was going to make an announcement. So if Comey had said, "The FBI recommends Hillary Rodham Clinton be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." 
They would have stood on stage and said what?

Bottom line the Clinton's are above the law. The FBI essentially said so...Don't do what she did or we'll prosecute you.

 Summation:

So listen to the self-righteous like George Will and Bill Kristol. Trump is no good. Go ahead and stab him in the back so Killary, Barry's protege, from the most corrupt cesspool administration of all time becomes your next president.

 

HILLARY VS. COMEY

Comey's Press Release aka The Fix

Bill's little rendezvous pays off.

Watched the entire conference. He built it up like he had a rock solid case against her. I was sitting there thinking...my God she's actually going to get indicted! Then at the last minute he turned the tables and recommended she not be prosecuted. 

Unbelievable!!!!

The players

The winners:

The losers are the American people

In summary:

1. Comey said although he couldn’t prove it her email account could have been hacked very easily and had no security.

2. According to Comey she DID send and receive classified and top secret emails… so she out-and-out lied to the American people and no one gives a shit! Not to mention she claimed she only had one device 'to simply her life' which Comey contradicted saying she had multiple devices. 

3. Comey used the term “They were extremely careless with their emails." How does this differ from gross negligence which is against the law? Now you know why he left without answering questions.

4. Lynch said, “I’ll gladly accept any recommendation the FBI recommends."

Comey..."No ‘reasonable prosecutor’ would bring charges against Hillary Clinton over her private email server."
 
Talk about greasing the fucking skids for Lynch! The prophecy has been fulfilled by Comey and she damn sure is going to accept it.

5. You can’t fully comprehend this verdict without thinking of Petraeus. In fact, Dinesh D’Souza received a worse lashing. 

6. Barry is on the road with her right now. They knew…otherwise he wouldn’t be with her.

Maybe a positive from this is:

In the long run the Trump haters are going to have a change of heart.

Not holding my breath on the Clinton Foundation Investigation.

Comey's Press Release aka The Fix

Bombshell deposition from Huma claims Killary literally BURNED public records at State Dept

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

This ain't good. First a "security review" by the FBI.

Then this:

[BREAKING] More Than 1,000 Clinton Emails LEAKED Online

This has got to weigh heavy on Comey too. Imagine he doesn’t press charges, then slowly, week by week, Wikileaks and Putin release a steady drip of (deleted) emails. It will send a clear signal to America, we cannot rely on our government, nor the MSM, for the truth… but have to get it from foreign sources!!!

Huma Abedin admits that Clinton burned daily schedules

If you can't see through the Clintons no doubt Helen Keller had 20/20 vision compared to yours.

Hillary Clinton’s closest aide revealed in a deposition last week that her boss destroyed at least some of her schedules as secretary of state — a revelation that could complicate matters for the presumptive Democratic nominee, who, along with the State Department she ran, is facing numerous lawsuits seeking those public records.

Huma Abedin was deposed in connection with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit into Clinton’s emails — but her admission could be relevant to another lawsuit seeking Clinton’s schedules.

“If there was a schedule that was created that was her Secretary of State daily schedule, and a copy of that was then put in the burn bag, that . . . that certainly happened on . . . on more than one occasion,” Abedin told lawyers representing Judicial Watch, the conservative organization behind the emails lawsuit.

Abedin made the surprising admission in response to a question about document destruction at the Department of State. A lawyer for Judicial Watch asked: “And during your tenure at the State Department, were you aware of your obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records?”

Abedin was not pressed for more details.

Clinton has admitted to destroying “private personal emails” as secretary of state. But Abedin’s admission that she used so-called “burn bags” — a container that material is placed in before it is destroyed — for some of her schedules is the first time anyone close to her has disclosed destroying public records.

The exact circumstances surrounding those destroyed records will likely come under intense scrutiny, critics said.

A former State Department official told The Post it was unprecedented for a diplomat to destroy a schedule like this.

“I spent eight years at the State Department and watched as four US ambassadors and two secretaries of state shared their daily schedules with a variety of State Department employees and US officials,” said Richard Grenell, former diplomat and US spokesman at the United Nations.

“I’ve never seen anyone put their schedule in the burn bag — because every one of them had a state.gov email address and therefore their daily schedules became public records, as required by law.”

Others said Clinton’s careful approach to her schedule further highlights her recklessness in using a personal server for all her email communications.

“The [president’s] schedule was not classified but it was deemed ‘highly sensitive.’ Instructions were given at the White House and on the road that schedules would be disposed of through the use of ‘burn bags’ and/or shredding,” said Brad Blakeman, a scheduler for President George W. Bush.

“This shows, in my opinion, a skewed sense of security. The Clinton people would dispose of the secretary’s schedule in the same manner as if it were classified yet those same safeguards were not in place with regard to email communications.”

Ambassador John Bolton, a Clinton critic, said the matter shows Clinton’s “recklessness” regarding her emails. But he noted it’s unlikely Clinton could have completely destroyed her schedules.

“They can’t eliminate it even if they wanted to,” Bolton said.

The Associated Press has been seeking Clinton’s schedule through Freedom of Information Act requests asking for Clinton’s public and private calendars and schedules from Jan. 21, 2009, through Feb. 1, 2013. The wire service sued the State Department for those schedules in 2015.
