FBI wasn’t told to stop. FBI Director is a Republican. He is widely viewed as having unimpeachable integrity. Clintons are corrupt but its either these corrupt run of the mill politicians or a fucktard that could blow up the planet. We don’t have a lot of good options here. ---

By all the evidence the Clintons are much less corrupt than the typical politician. I doubt most politicians would survive literally decades of fanatic inquisitorial persecution like they have. ---

I’d like to the hear more about who the OP thinks “told the FBI to stop”, and what magical power that entity had to do so. ---

Don’t be embarrassed to mention the work of the Trump Foundation in comparison to the Clinton Foundation! What’s a few thousand African HIV victims getting medicine compared to a really nice oil portrait of Andrew Douche Cray? ---

You know, if Clinton can threaten the FBI and get away with it, threaten the IRS and get away with it, maybe you shouldn’t be so blase about complaining about her. If she’s such a dangerous person that the FBI and the IRS are afraid to touch her, why aren’t you scared when you pass along articles like this one? Are you afraid of Hillary or not? ---

Please explain. 😕 Back in the days of the Cold War we had a word for people like you - Com Symp. (Communist Sympathizer for you yunguns.) People who would buy anything the KGB said - or now WikiLeaks who thinks Russia can do no wrong and Russia run by a former KGB man. Geez, Lilian Hellman is rolling over in her grave saying use some critical judgement about the Commies. ---
