The FBI Recommends Not To Indict Hillary Clinton For Email Misconduct (theverge.com)

FBI Director James Comey says that his agency isn't recommending that the DOJ pursue charges against Hillary Clinton for setting up a private email server as Secretary of State. At a press conference on Tuesday, Comey added that while there is "evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information," they think that "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." The Verge reports:The recommendation is the result of a painstaking investigation by the bureau, which uncovered a number of new details. The investigation found 110 emails in 52 email chains were determined to contain classified information, including 8 chains contained information that was marked as top secret at the time, Director Comey said. Secretary Clinton used several different email servers and numerous mobile devices, and many of those servers were decommissioned and otherwise altered as they were replaced.

    At least tell us which candidate is which.

    Prosecuting high-level political candidates (especially in "something bad could have happened but didn't" cases) doesn't exactly sound like a non-controversial action. Regardless of whether you think it's justified or not.

    FBI director is a Drama King based on his other security claims

    Please be just as generous in your portrayal of Clinton's Ethics / Lying when you decide to vote for her. MKAY?

    Maybe she needs to be broken up into a number of smaller Hillaries, each one just small enough that it can be jailed.

    There used to be a judicial process for that. Oh yeah.

    We're sorry.

    While we would like to go off on this tangent, we're not able to participate because we are still investigating Obama's birth status and stuff.

    Lots of people screw things up and don't get slapped on the wrist, but doing this to a presidential candidate right before the elections is as much fishy as not doing this to a presidential candidate right before the elections. I know it must feel to you that this sucks, but even immunity for members of parliaments exists for a reason. Likewise, members of the intelligence community haven't been exactly happy about Trump being given access to sensitive information either. What do you suggest, telling both parties to scrap their candidates and start anew?
