Haha, a slap on the wrist.

I'm not surprised.

Is it weird to be disappointed and relieved and worried at the same time

 

[Lonestar]

That last statement is odd, sounds like he said "if it was some regular person, prosecution could very well happen".

 

[DrFunk]

That Teflon pantsuit.

lmao

OMG HAX.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Ha, that guy is just shutting down the Trump whiners.

 

[Hazmat]

The Butcher of Outlook Express lives to fight another day. Sorry Bernie.

 

[CopperPuppy]

GAF, ya'll's comments from the beginning of the statement had me TRIPPIN' at work.

Whew...

 

[_Ryo_]

No charges. Even though FBI is saying they did it 100% independent, people are still gonna go all conspiracy bull shit and say they are corrupt.

 

[Enduin]

So much for questions.

 

[Ahasverus]

Bless me empress queen Hillary and prince consort Bill.

 

[jediyoshi]

James Comey OUT

*mic drop*

 

[Gordon Shumway]

So did she touch the baby or not?

 

[gutterboy44]

Glad to see no charges. But this is just Benghazi 2.0. GOP won't ever let it die, everyone else will move on.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Sounds like the whole state dept is just old people who are careless with emails.

 

[maquiladora]

Hillary just won the presidency - woo!

Suck it Trump.

 

[Prompto]

Oh man, Comey just won the award for most tense moment of 2016.

His back and forth in tone is kinda hilarious in hindsight

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

Good, now move the fuck on from the emails already.

Not until she answers why she lied to us.

 

[massoluk]

No indictment? That's all I need to hear. Let's move the fuck on from these fucking emails. already.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

r/the_donald is the most hilarious place on earth right now

 

[UncleScr00ge]

Drudge breaking out the siren already lol

 

[overcast]

I feel like he wanted to make sound bites to appear on which is why it took so long.

 

[Archer]

Finally it's over.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Is this going to hurt Hilary a significant amount during the GE?

Honestly probably not.

This email stuff has been kicked around so much for so long that anyone who would be bothered by it already is.

 

[Effect]

Yes! I now need a drink after this.

 

[j-wood]

I'm confused how he can say no charges should be brought about based on what he said for the entire thing?

I mean, intention or not, it was still a mistake no?

If i accidentally get in a car crash, and it wasn't an intention, I still face consequences.

 

[The Technomancer]

That last statement is odd, sounds like he said "if it was some regular person, prosecution could very well happen".

He's saying if it was a regular person it likely would be an internal discipline matter, not a formal criminal charge

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

lol Hillary wins again.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Is this going to hurt Hilary a significant amount during the GE?

Even without the indictment, there was a lot of sound bytes there,

 

[backflip10019]

Now onto BENGHAZI.

 

[Vanillalite]

While a full indictment would have been thinking worst possible ruling I still feel like this is the 2nd worst.

Basically she did something, but not enough to really prosecute. Yet also not enough for her to be totally clean on the issue. So it'll just fuel the fire she got preferential treatment or something.

 

[Yellowtail]

 

[Duane Cunningham]

That's exactly what someone who conducted a dishonest investigation would say. We're onto you Hillary!

Spoiler

./s

That's exactly what is being said by conservatives without irony across social media right now, I guarantee.

 

[TheFuzz]

"We assess it is possible" was the actual words he used.

No it wasn't.

He said it was possible that the actors were able to hack her secure information, but they were able to see that any actors WERE able to view those she was in contact with. (Basically, they can see who she's talking to but didn't say they DEFINTELY could see the info.) The "possibility" was whether they actually obtained info, not whether they can see who she was dealing with.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

The right will tell everyone that experts cannot be trusted and the FBI were biased. Same stuff as the EU referendum in the UK - the right wing just needs to be fed the lie in enough different recipies to buy that it's true. So unfortunately this isn't over probably.

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

That last statement is odd, sounds like he said "if it was some regular person, prosecution could very well happen".

Thats not what he said. He said that they would likely be subject to other internal discipline (within the department), but not criminal charges.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Phew, had the Republicans actually had a competent, electable candidate I might have been worried by the harshness of that rebuke.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yaaaaaaas queen

 

[BotoxAgent]

HAHA

Good Man!

Foxnews is going to be incredible!

Huelen right now:

Just when I think I've seen all the good Jordan memes...

 

[Syncytia]

I mean no indictment is one thing but this has the potential to really sour her image and while it may not make someone vote trump they might just stay home on election day

There's been so much crap thrown at Hillary I'm not sure this really sours her image anymore than anything else already has.

I need screencaps.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Funny. Sounds quite accurate..

 

[everyday math]

That extremely careless line is already being used. Didn't even take a second.

 

[TatteredHat]

Clearly she still fucked up, but I'm glad we won't be guaranteed Trump 2016. This will still negatively impact her campaign tho.

 

[rhandino]

Oh.

#Pray4Huelen

 

[Mrbob]

That was some interesting wording to clear her name. This is still damaging to her for the general election. Comey leveled strong criticism against Hillary.
