    Which I believe was investigated wasn’t it? Did anyone say it shouldn’t have been?

    Hardly. Investigated by Clintonistas and squashed by an AG Bill Clinton appointed as a US Attorney in the 1990's and met with on the tarmac of sky harbor airport a few months before Comey exonerated her. Do you really believe they talked about muffin recipes? :roflol:

    The premise she was innocent is simply absurd. She kept classified information in the basement of her home on a server connected to the internet. That is prima facie against the law.

    See any similarities here?

    faulted him for rejecting Pentagon requests that security systems be installed on his home computers.

    So he knew it was classified material and it was likely marked as such

    No Mello, it wasn't as we are seeing daily. It was theater for the people only.

    And being looked into for slow walking the investigation.
    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2...er_on_clinton_email_investigation_440806.html

    Comey allowed McCabe to run the investigation, he was his Boss.

    Strzok rewrote Comeys exhoneration letter months in advance to remove "gross negligence" in his Statement, and Comey took it and went with it.

    Page? Well I don't honestly know about her but since she seemed to be joined at the hip with Stzrok, I lump her in.


    You really want to pretend this looks like a real investigation? We finally got to see behind the green curtain and put fact to what everyone thought at one time or another, and you don't want to believe it I guess?

    Hillary wasn't even under oath for crying out loud during her FBI interview, and everyone with her got immunity....cmon man.

    Are you saying Flynn was under oath? George P?
    If it was a fake investigation then charge her already!

    No, I don't recall mentioning them at all. Bear with me a second while I step over that unrelated deflection.

    Ok, Someone said the Hillary Email investigation had already happened LOL....as if no one has watched the news over the last year or more to see how that went down.

    Who really believes that Mello? I don't even think you do. If that is how "matters"....errr sorry.... "investigations" are done, does that fill you with confidence?

    Yes. If the trump DOJ has an issue with it then I’m sure they’ll address it.
    So far? Nada!

    The wheels seem to move slowly, but I have confidence they are actually moving. This swamp took a long time to get where they are, and it's going to take awhile to drain it.

    Hillary hid hers. Hillary wrote 104 classified eMails on her unsecured internet connected server and failed to classify them.

    While her warning itself was not likely possible to prosecute as it is little different than flashing your headlights to warn of police ahead - for which you could argue you were letting people know about police ahead in case they needed to talk to the police - it did become to prosecute for her declaring her motive was to help people avoid being arrested and detained. In short, her explanation established criminal motive.

    The DOJ will not pursue prosecution. Jeff Sessions took the job - and then declared he is on permanent paid leave of absence.

    I did not see anywhere that Trump suggested ignoring due process. If relevant laws were broken, and prosecution could be undertaken, is it not the duty of the Department of Justice to provide justice?
