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."

    This is merely to put the final nail in Bernie's coffin.

    Anyone with a favorable view of Bernie Sanders needs to explain, how his proposals differ from those of Hugo Chavez.

    two absolutely horrible people

    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.

    Wow! I feel great! I've already attracted a sock puppet with his little mod point for Trump!

    Actually, I think I've realized another problem with the moderation system. If you make thoughtful and provocative comments, then people might be motivated to reply and my understanding is that prevents them from moderating the comment. In contrast, people who are too stupid, offended, or stupidly offended to offer any rational or intelligent reply are always free to dump their mod points. Like shite.

  5. Trump has a much better plan! by shanen · · Score: 0, Troll

    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.

    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.

    I don't like unneeded profanity

    Nor do I. I am well-known for only using necessary profanity.

    But you've got to be browsing at a completely uncensored level to get the joke. I was basically just giving my commentary on the middle-school insults a pair of ACs were throwing back and forth. As always, I was simply trying to raise the level of discourse here on Slashdot by taking lemons - two lemons to be exact - and dipping them into the gaping mouths of a couple of goofballs, to make what I like to call "AC lemonade".

    I really can't understand what motivates people like you? Do you spend all your time carefully filtering just the lies you want to hear and see?

    There is an entire world of reality out there. You should visit it once in a while.

    It would probably help if you turn off your search customization. The google knows what you want now and is trying hard to show it to you.
