Petraeus was just having some affair sex and letting his boo read his email, what's wrong with that??
I think people saying that long term Brexit won't be too bad for international markets, but will devastate the UK is probably true.

Didn't Petraeus get charged with espionage to a degree?

Honestly that would make him look terrible because it would show he was just waiting for an indictment. On the other hand he needs to drop soon if he plans on getting a speaking slot
He needs to.
Reporters on Twitter saying he watched the conference and "it doesn't change the state of the race" or something.

Well, technically he's right, it doesn't change the status because he should have dropped out weeks ago.

God he is bad. He should be hyping the damning words but instead plays into the the "its rigged" which convinces nobody but people already voting for him

Not sure there's much to celebrate here; it was obvious she wouldn't be indicted. But having the FBI Director call you a liar, and accuse you of recklessness, is not a good thing.
Thank god for Trump and republican incompetence.

I agree. There is nothing to celebrate here. She's very fortunate to be running against a moron and not an actual competent opponent.
Personally, if I didn't find this election so dire I would most likely vote for a third party.

is HA Goodman ok?
also why does he tweet like that

Appointed by Bush at the very least. So it's going to be interesting to see the attacks on him by Trump and others.

Is HA okay?
Hahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.
The worst thing he could do would be to go after Comey.
So that means, he's probably gonna go after Comey as weak, spineless and in bed with the Clintons.
They'll just use his talking points to attack her is all. Again short term I see it doing the most damage. But like I said. I think people are just tired of hearing about all this.

Where did he do this?
If your referring to her "no classified emails" that's not what clinton has been saying.
Comey said that the agencies told him that they were classified, which Clinton has repeatedly said. That the agencies disagree. And these were emails on the server, nowhere was it said that Clinton sent them.
Anyways. I still think its poor form for Comey to go out there and bash clinton with statements like "she should know" "extreamly reckless" and then say no indictment. It reeks of giving a bone to people who wanted an idictment
Ha Goodman was trending for a hot second
Folks just touchdown dancing....sad
Dude has no sense of timing. Bet it goes out at 8am tomorrow

I mean, Trump is already playing with fire considering he is going after a very respected FBi director.
I'm sure he's going to go after him for a while and not back off, because Trump

Gimme a split screen with Obama/Clinton on one side and Bernie Sanders on the other.

"It is possible that hostile actors did gain access"
This statement IMO was outrageous by Comey.
What is the point of it besides to give ammo? He just said there is no evidence that they did. Hostile actors have already gotten into government emails before, so the statement could apply to pretty much every email server the gov't has including the FBI and CIA. Its possible!

She was always the dem nominee lol. He was really banking on an indictment even though all evidence pointed the other direction.
Sure the establishment had everything to do with this and not the FBI just doing their job.

Yeah some of the stuff was unnecessary, but I think they were just trying to lay everything out there so there could be no allegations they didn't check into everything. Of course now S4P is saying he did all of this because he really wanted to indict but the Obama admininstration made him back down. Of course if the Obama administration really had any say they would have had him say she did nothing wrong and they didn't find a single thing during the investigation.

I don't think anyone from the FBI or any oversight agency want's to open the door to the extremely smelly basement that has been unchecked for the last 15 years to see if grandma has indeed passed on or not.
This strikes me as a situation where literally no one is happy. Democrats and Clinton supporters are pissed off at the tone of the conference and statements therein. Republicans and Clinton detractors are pissed off because there's no fire big enough to indict while the conference's tone indicated it's not nothing.

Once again, Clinton gets worse treatment than anyone else would. I can't remember an FBI press conference like that when charges declined.

While overall this isn't a great news cycle for Hillary Clinton, I remain confident that any minute now the Trump campaign will make some massively stupid unforced error that will steal the news cycle away from the FBI director's harsh words.
The FreeRepublic reaction thread is a rollicking good time. It's already at 5 pages, which is usually reserved for landmark SCOTUS rulings or election results.

You know, "Careless" is probably a better Trumpname for Hillary than "Crooked."

That may end up being a story that will get talked about as much as the decision.
I don't think it really changes the state of the game. Who is this going to sway that didn't already think Hillary was a criminal?
Pretty much. There's this odd dynamic where people feel the Clintons seem to feel the rules don't apply to them, but at the same time it's proven true time and again that they're basically held to a different standard than everyone else is. It's the craziest fucking thing you'll ever see in your life.

I was under the impression she did send some classified info through emails, including some that were made classified after the fact (and stored on the server). Looks like I might be mistaken then.
