Breaking: FBI raiding Mar a Lardo!

He wanted the man to do his job.

It's more shameful that you can't deny any of the facts against Hillary and instead attack Trump.

There is a clear double standard. Honest people admit this.

This is a sidetrack issue.

What Clinton did was wrong. She shouldn't have had a private server that did not classify documents and she should not have had classified emails through her private server. Commey did explain why he did not recommend pursue charges and they seemed reasonable to me.

Alhough we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences.

Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System — FBI

We should look at the Trump case and its evidence. It should be evaluated on its own evidence.

Are the cases the same?

If Trump turned over all the documents right away and cooperated, I could see the argument being made that it was a like case of carelessness like Clinton's case.

However, Trump's actions were different imo. He ignored a subpoena and a lawyer representing him certified that all the classified documents had been turned over. And they weren't. There is unambiguous evidence it wasn't the case. This is a significant difference.

If Trump did break the law and is not prosecuted, will that reset the standards of prosecution as to say that when powerful people retain government documents, they can ignore a subpoena and have their lawyers mispresent facts and there will be no consequences?

Trump fired James Comey 4 months into his presidency. He could have fired Rosenstein or Sessions whenever he wanted. You guys spend so much time generating conspiracies so that you never have to face reality. Trump never gave a damn about Clinton's emails. Like the wall, it was always just a gimmick to get the rubes to open their wallets.

I have no idea what the "facts" are against Hillary, or against Trump, for that matter. And neither do you. But it was certainly within the purview of Trump's DOJ (including Barr) to investigate Hillary if they thought a crime had been committed. Yet they did nothing.

That's some revisionist history. Comey did effect the election by reopening the Clinton matter just before the election. Even Trump said that was unfair to Clinton.

Just because life-long Republicans don't make every decision you like doesn't make them Democrats. And you are being dishonest if you are comparing what Trump did with what Clinton did, because at this point we don't have good information about what Trump did.

Well, this was right on point. And no more emojis?

Trump is having problems hiring lawyers to defend him. It looks like word has spread throughout the criminal bar about how Trump treated Giuliani like some fool carrying his slop jar. Everything from throwing food at him, to grabbing him by the scruff, to bad-mouthing him up and down the swamp. Trump kept Giuliani around as a punching bag, and then refused to pay any of his bills. Trump totally emasculated and degraded him.

Trump is rushing to hire seasoned lawyers — but he keeps hearing ‘No’

The former president’s current legal team includes a Florida insurance lawyer who’s never had a federal case, a past general counsel for a parking garage company and a former host at far-right One America News.

At this point you have to be a very desperate lawyer to work for trump.

Clinton had a private server. This shows poor judgement and is against policy but not a violation of law. Some number of emails that went through that server contained information that should have been classified, but which was not a registered classified document. Again, poor judgement and sloppy operational security, but not a clear or conscious violation of law.

Trump is alleged to have in his possession multiple registered and marked documents that were improperly retained and protected. Some of these documents are alleged to be at the highest levels of classification. Further, after requesting the return of these documents, some were allegedly retained after Trump's team provided an affidavit indicated all such documents were returned. If these reports are true, this is a clear violation of law.

On the publicly available information, Clinton did something remarkably stupid and Trump did something blatantly illegal.

... but but butt Hunter Bidens laptop? What about that?

A fool carrying a slop jar would have been a better attorney than Giuliani.

The DOJ is investigating Hunter for tax crimes and perhaps other crimes. And there has been no allegation that the information on that laptop was classified information, so it isn't relevant to this discussion.

INCORRECT!

Although now it is becoming clear that it is not just your first post of this string that is beyond stup!d and monumentally moron!c.

Perhaps my attempt to educate you will turn out to be a lost cause. Perhaps there is not enough upstairs to enable learning.

The reason people can't argue with you on substance is because you have no substance - your "arguments" are completely off the rails and based in some weird reality in your own head where you and many others try to bend facts to fit your fearful emotions.

Yes there was a double standard. Hillary was required to answer 11 hours of hostile questioning under oath. And she answered EVERY question.

Trump was never put in a position where he had to tell the truth under oath. And when recently had to testify in a civil suit he took the 5th for EVERY question (over 400 times).

(As far as Hillary's email issue it not even comparable to Trump's willful refusal to give up top secret and potentially damaging for the country information.

And talk about double standards, how about the treatment of Bill by the Republicans. He had to testify under oath whether or not he cheated on his wife. That came out of the ken Star fishing and looking for something to nail him on. The original fraud case was groundless.

That is true but I watched a limited series called, Empires of New York and they had much footage of Guiliani when he was DA when he was in his 30's and early 40's. He was sharp and personally speared headed a movement to take down the mafia and he was successful.

It was very strange to see him so competent.

We haven't had over two hundred years of slavery followed by a century of Jim Crow and latterly been led by the disease that is Trump and his followers, who refuse to accept the result of a democratic election, try to violently overthrow the legitimate government and steal secrets relating to the country's security with the likely purpose of selling them to the highest bidders - aka America's enemies. But above all we haven't produced an ignorant and vengeful mob that is destroying the country's fabric, of the likes of you and your deranged buddies here. I would call that an achievement.

Liz Cheney whooped at the polls, on to November!
