Yeah, no indictment, but he definitely wasn't holding back on the negligence/stupidity issue, either.

I may have to listen again, he said evidence was found that people she was corresponding with were hacked, and that it's possible she herself was hacked while abroad?
 
If there was any criminal activity done knowingly, on Hilary's part, it sounds like her lawyers did a great job of disposing of it. Bottom line: She's innocent in the eyes of the law and we can vote for her with a clear conscience.
 
Meanwhile Hillary...

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

Pretty much. This and Benghazi were the last "big things" the Republicans had, and they couldn't get anything to stick.

Dat teflon pantsuit, indeed...
 
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.


Maybe if he wasn't simply repeating the exact same thing that the Republicans have wasted thousands of news cycles rinsing and repeating until the audience tuned it out. The fact that like whitewater and Monica Lewinsky, the Republicans just spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a meandering investigation come proxy campaign run is the actual crime here.
 
How can anyone think this will damage Clinton?

The Republicans and Trump have been banging this drum for months, if not years. Any effect it might have had is already priced in.
It will, at least in the short term. Expect the polls to converge until the convention and people to freak out about the election once more.

Because when you want to be COMMANDER IN CHIEF, The FBI calling you careless ain't a badge of honor.

It's pretty simple, really.
 
Do you want him to take the entire state department down? Including many ex Secretary of States? It was a culture at the state department not just Hillary coming in with her secret email severs.

No, i'm not looking to wreck shit up just for lulz.

But I mean facts are facts right? She had classified and top secret e-mails on non secure servers. I don't think it was her intention to do that, it's just a case where she didn't think about it, or didn't understand technology, therefore didn't think to ask about it.

But a mistake is a mistake.
 
No indictment

Wow this is a huge moment

But Trump is going to use this carelessness into oblivion
Of course he will but let's not pretend Comey cleared her of error. Not recommended to be charged but he really went in on her for having poor judgement. She is super lucky to be going up against Trump.

He made it sound like she would have been fired if she were still a cabinet member.
 
So yeah, I don't understand their recommendation. I'm not a trump supporter, but I also just am not a fan of Hillary. This was a pretty careless mistake or shortcut without thinking of consequences. That's not a mindset we need in a President.
Being careless isn't sufficient to qualify as criminal behaviour. The legal test for the offense was higher than that, which was why actual legal experts said that the odds of her being indicted were always negligible.

Now the Republicans and the remaining Bernie Bros will have to find another talking point apart from "wait for the indictment!"

Yep, they've harped on the emails for so long that most Clinton supporters won't care at all as long as there's no indictment.
 
Clearly she still fucked up, but I'm glad we won't be guaranteed Trump 2016. This will still negatively impact her campaign tho.

I mean, yea they should have had better policy for email handling

Does this really hurt her any more than all the previous anger over the scandal? If anything I think her getting cleared will help her polling numbers

she used her own shoddy private email while on devices in not so friendly nations.

It's entirely reasonable to believe information could have been taken, just like he said in the statement. The gross neglect is disgusting.
 
It's been fucking nothing from the start. I don't understand how this wasn't put to bed after Hillary testified before congress for 10 hours and they got zilch out of her.
 
I may have to listen again, he said evidence was found that people she was corresponding with were hacked, and that it's possible she herself was hacked while abroad?

I believe he said that while they found no direct evidence, due to what they were dealing with, they wouldn't find evidence either way. It's possible that it was hacked, etc.
 
Reading this thread without watching the statement was hilarious.

You all thought it was over for a good while there. Sounds like this was cut like a WWE promo and you all got swerved.

It pretty much had to be a swerve. He had to build it up. Make it sound like this was a worthwhile endeavor for the FBI to pour a ton of tax payer dollars into, as opposed to them indulging a crazed, right wing political witch hunt.
 
Is it a coincidence that this speech happened just as Hillary speech to campaign for president was also starting?

This might be damaging but I hope not. I'll vote for a frog if his opponent was Trump. We can't let that guy become a President of anything.

Like seriously, but most of the people that are hoping/concern trolling that this will boost Trump were never that attached to reality in the first place.
