    I'd love to see whoever modded your post explain why it's flamebait.

    Anyone who considers facts to be flamebait needs to examine their value system.

    You're making the assumption that someone dumped spam into a directory marked life insurance, and that there is an easy way to differentiate between classified and non classified emails.

    Not to beat up on you, but you are showing a notable lacking of understanding how the legal system works in this country.

    This is a decision of whether or not to indict. It doesn't send people to jail, it sends them to court where they are tried by a judge and jury of their peers.

    Comey's own statements have been to the effect he found wrongdoing but decided not to recommend it be sent to a court. (If you doubt read his original press conference on this)

  16. Monopoly Rent Seeking on Cable TV Price Increases Have Beaten Inflation Every Single Year For 20 Years (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    In economics and in public-choice theory, rent-seeking involves seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. Rent-seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through poor allocation of resources, reduced actual wealth creation, lost government revenue, increased income inequality,[1] and (potentially) national decline.

    Attempts at capture of regulatory agencies to gain a coercive monopoly can result in advantages for the rent seeker in the market while imposing disadvantages on (incorrupt) competitors. The idea was originated by Gordon Tullock and the term was coined by Anne Krueger.[2]
