And I’ll say it again: I pit anybody who doesn’t believe Hillary Clinton is a Lying POS Felon who belongs in Jail:

You must be _pissed_ that Trump is losing.

Cite what she was _convicted_ for.

Hurrah, my first pitting.

I expected more.

So sad.

OP, I feel like we should explore your feelings about your mother.

We’re close to a breakthrough.

I served in the Navy and I know dozens or possibly even hundreds of people who have mishandled classified information. None of them were prosecuted. People don’t get prosecuted unless they deliberately release classified info for profit, treasonous reasons (spying), helping a journalist, etc. Boneheaded and careless handling of classified info _never_ results in prosecution.

The FBI released the interview notes and there hasn’t been anything from the frothing masses about how they show she should have been charged.

Don’t forget, it was not just Comey, it was the whole team of agents who recommended no charges.

On the same basis, do you think Comey took a bribe?

She’s a felon? I wonder why no one has looked into that. Odd.

We should leave his mother out of this.

She’s suffered enough.

Eh, I’ll vote for her. She seems nice.

And I don’t trust your source, a hack known mostly for being one of the few to jump on board the attacks on the Khan family, or his sources (retired agents not involved in the investigation–how will they revolt, exactly?), and even if every word in the piece were technically true, none of it demonstrates any wrongdoing on anyone’s part.

There are people who want her to be guilty of stuff, but just because the Republican candidate is sporting enough to confess on tape to repeated sexual assault doesn’t mean you get to have your wish granted.

Damn straight I’m not helping! I’m filming it for youtube.

Do you make up these questions, or are they written down for you?

I did. There are a couple of things you might have missed which makes me not take it as a reliable source. They are both at the top of the article. “New York Post” and “Opinion.”

Believe me I’m no Clinton supporter. I think the baggage train behind her would mean that any other Republican candidate would be comfortably coasting into a victory right now. It’s not my fault that the party chose the worst candidate from any party in history.

I’ll bet that it also rarely results in the careless bonehead being elected president.

The point is that it’s not an automatic felony.

Also, it’s now illegal to do what Clinton did. At the time, it was just against State Dept. policy.

I do hope that the system for marking classified emails has been improved. There shouldn’t be that many going out unmarked.
