Comey Admitted It - What's to Investigate?

So it has come out that what James Comey leaked to his buddy about President Trump to give to the NYT was classified. That is a felony! I heard a Republican Senator or Congressman say that needs to be investigated! WTF? He admitted it under oath in testimony to Congress! It is a crime. What's to investigate? Send it to a grand jury! Prosecute him and let a jury decide! Same with Hillary. Comey spelled out the violations of the law committed by then Secretary of State Clinton. Does anyone believe that the average citizen would escape prosecution? Public officials need to be held to a higher not lower standard than the average citizen and it's about damn time that starts happening. Comey and Clinton should be the examples!

Comey's Most Important Character Trait

Comey's testimony yesterday before the Senate Intelligence Committee reinforced his singular, personal character trait: he is very tall. That's it!

Hillary's Victory Dance A Bit Premature?

I have to admit I was despondent about the FBI Director's decision not to recommend prosecuting the case against Secretary Clinton for her private email server and mishandling of classified information. When I heard that Director Comey was being called to testify before Congress, I thought, "Why  bother? You (and the People) lost; it's over." What made matters worse was the long list of lies laid out by Comey and his description of Hillary and her staffers' extremely careless handling of classified material and yet neither she nor anyone else would not be held accountable. After Comey's public announcement, Hillary's smug and gloating "victory dance" at a campaign event in North Carolina with President Obama by her side made the decision all the more galling. Then something surprising happened and my spirits began to lift.

Little by little, portions of Comey's testimony made their way to the media and the questions by the members of the House committee began to reveal that there were serious flaws in the FBI's investigation; most notably, investigators never compared their findings against Clinton's sworn statements to Congress. Any inconsistencies would show she either lied to Congress or the FBI. Either way, each one would be a felony and the result would be very big trouble for Ms. Clinton. Just ask Scooter Libby. By the close of business today, the State Department announced it was reopening the probe into Clinton's email scandal.

Perhaps Hillary's celebration was just a bit premature.

Freedom to Choose: The Invalid Argument for NOT Indicting Hillary

The argument goes something like this. When FBI Director, James Comey, delivers the results of the investigation into then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton's handling of classified emails, the recommendation will be to refer the case to a grand jury to consider indictment. However, because an indictment of Hillary would so disrupt the Democrat primary process, essentially taking away the Democrat's front-runner and denying them of their first choice for their presidential candidate, Attorney General Loretta Lynch will refuse to pursue the case. I call this the "Freedom to Choose" rationale. Politically, Lynch thinks President Hillary is more important than equal justice for all.


From its website (http://www.justice.gov/about): this is the mission of the Department of Justice:

Our Mission Statement

To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.

I don't see where it is the job of the Department of Justice or Attorney General Loretta Lynch to ensure "choice" for Democrat voters. She needs to enforce the law - Period.

Lynch needs to focus her attention on the last line of her department's mission statement:

"...to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans." which includes Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Do the right thing!
