Hillary Clinton vs FBI Director
Reason.tv did a good job assembling this:
By all means, go off on the FBI in the comments. But I think they might be thinking, “Hey guys, we’ve given you all you need to know what’s up. We don’t want to wake up with a horse’s head.”
We’re fooling ourselves if we believed that director Comey — a man with, what, five kids? — would stand up and indict Hillary on a charge he knows she’ll beat anyhow. It would be especially easy for her to beat once the next layer of the justice system saw what happened to Comey and his family.
“To be clear, this is not to suggest that, in simillar circumstances, a person who engages in this activity will face no consequences.”
From that I conclude that Hillary is not a person. She must be a tuatara that escaped New Zealand. Only humans are subject to laws. No reptile is bound by any regulation or treaty.
It just confirmed what most people have been suspecting for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Comey.
Jim Comey – The Declaration of NON-Independence
When in the Course of human events,…
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations…
He has refused his Assent to Laws….
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws…
He has refused to pass other Laws…
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable…
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly…
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts,…
[Many, many more]….
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, NOT and of Right ought NOT to be Free and Independent States because independence has never been tried before, and the King has some mental issues, so he didn’t really mean to do those things or know they were wrong.
I am amazed at the list of Conservative and Libertarian pundits who stupidly thought Comey was some kind of paragon of integrity and would recommend indictment. Anyone put in that position by the current regime was put there to be a gatekeeper for the corruptocrats in D.C. There was never any realistic possibility that Hillary would face justice for her crimes. We have a two tiered justice system that exonerates those in power and grinds the rest of us into dust for the most minor infractions of bureaucratic fiat.
People like Andrew Napolitano, Joseph DiGenova and Gary North really should have known better than to assume anyone connected to the establishment is trustworthy. The fact that they didn’t see this coming testifies to their foolish naiveté and capacity for self delusion. Gary North predicted that if Comey didn’t recommend indictment his senior investigators would hold a press conference and recommend indictment, then resign. That is complete nonsense.
The average Fibby cares more about their paycheck, pension and staying out of jail than they do about truth, justice or fidelity to the law. Remember that these are the same people who tried to frame Richard Jewel and did everything they could to ensure that the Branch Dravidians ended up conveniently dead. These are the same people who told local authorities in Orlando to suppress public information about the recent nightclub terror attack. These are the same people who claim not to know the whereabouts of Omar Mateens wife despite the fact that she is an accomplice to mass murder. These are the same people who routinely write and serve their own warrants without any judicial review. These are the same people who failed to arrest the Boston Marathon bombers even after the Russian government provided evidence they were Chechen terrorists. How anyone can have faith in the integrity or competence of these police state buffoons is beyond me.

Yeah, I talked with people who were saying, “Oh, the FBI etc. have all these rigid procedures and they are pretty straight-laced, even if the rules are evil from our POV,” and I thought that was nuts.
However, I thought it would be possible that the establishment would use this as a way to knock out Hillary and get Biden or somebody in there at this late date, if they thought she was a much worse candidate now than they believed two years ago.
