DOJ Will Not File Charges Against Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (politico.com)
An anonymous reader writes: After FBI Director James Comey recommended not to indict Hillary Clinton for her email misconduct yesterday, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Wednesday that the Justice Department has decided not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton or her aids and that the department will close the investigation into her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. "Late this afternoon, I met with FBI Director James Comey and career prosecutors and agents who conducted the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email system during her time as Secretary of State," Lynch said in a statement on Wednesday. "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."
Anyone with a favorable view of Bernie Sanders needs to explain, how his proposals differ from those of Hugo Chavez.
Only one of those two people has deliberately and knowingly mishandled classified information and profoundly failed in all government positions occupied so far (including that of the First Lady). The other one is alleged to be racist.
The choice is clear.

If Trump is elected, his plan is just to be himself, phuck up the entire country, and then resign before he can be impeached and convicted. Mark my words, but Trump's #1 criterion for his VP will be someone who loves Ford's pardon of Nixon.
After he's pardoned, Trump gets to prance around for the rest of his life. Talk about building your brand. Trump just thinks that Nixon was a fool for not making more money on the free publicity.
Actually it really goes back to the value of free publicity in a world where news to serve the public good has become disaster porn news in search of ratings and eyeballs to sell more ads. Slashdot could be part of the solution, but don't hold your breath.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
Agree with your general sentiment.. My question is: just how bad was what she did? I've seen some interviews where officials discuss 'classified' and 'classified' information. A lot of information is 'classified', but still pretty accessible, and really not a 'threat' to anything if it were to get out. I'm curious just how much harm could have actually happened with what she was doing? If many other 'high ups' were investigated, I would be curious to see how many also use 'inappropriate' email accounts and have also shared classified data inappropriately? I bet there'd be quite a lot...this is probably the tip of the iceberg, not an isolated case. (Reminding me of doping in sport. A few get caught, but typically MANY more are doing it.)
For me, what's more troubling is the number of emails that were deleted and didn't get investigated/exposed..? Hopefully at least this will be a lesson to all, and they clamp down on tolerating *anyone* who does this.
