Yes, the Fix Was In
These columns have repeatedly pointed out that the decision whether to indict Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information was not the FBI’s call. It was up to the Obama Justice Department, which was in the tank for Mrs. Clinton and was taking direction from President Obama. In April 2016, Obama publicly stated that he did not want his party’s inevitable nominee charged with a crime.

In making that assertion, Obama distorted the Espionage Act, falsely implying that it required proof of intent to harm the United States before someone could be convicted of mishandling classified information. To the contrary, the law holds that a person is guilty (1) if she willfully causes the unauthorized transmission of classified information — meaning if she understands the wrongfulness of the action and intentionally performs it anyway — or (2) if through “gross negligence” she permits the information to be removed from its proper place or to be otherwise mishandled (see Section 793(d), (e), and (f) of Title 18, U.S. Code). The Justice Department adopted Obama’s erroneous intent standard, as, ultimately, did Comey.

The former director’s statements in the Brett Baier interview firmly establish that the decision not to indict Mrs. Clinton was based on Obama Justice Department standards, not on the terms of the statute.

For example, when asked why he was confident, long before Clinton was even interviewed, that she would not be charged, Comey said the investigators working the case told him, “Look boss, on the current course and speed, it looks like it’s not gonna get to a place where the prosecutors would bring it.” It was not that the evidence was insufficient under the law; it was that the Justice Department would not indict.

Baier then played a now-familiar recording of Comey, under questioning by Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), conceding that Clinton had made various false claims about her emails (no emails “marked ‘classified,’” no classified emails sent or stored, all work-related emails returned to the State Department). Baier then asked why, despite this pattern, Comey had made his decision against charges even before Clinton was questioned. While denying that he had made a final decision at that point, he said he had a “general sense” that the evidence was “unlikely to get us to a place where they would prosecute at the Justice Department.”

She's entertaining running again.

Plus, I admit to a certain amount of satisfaction at having been right about the Clintons since they came onto the national stage.

She's entertaining ..........

Not last time, she just was not.  Maybe next time she will just be so grotesque that everyone will have a laugh.

Well done!

As time goes buy the the clinton machine grinds to a halt, the truth will continue to surface and history will record them as grotesque, reprehensible and corrupt to the core.

Then it is even more important that we keep the truth about them alive and do our best to keep such filth from ever rising again.

Perhaps.  The emphasis concerns me when a 15 year old girl comes home from a history lesson on Sherman’s March and attacks me for being a damned Yankee when my folks weren’t even here during the Civil War.  True for my Mom’s side, not even close for Dad’s.......well, none of them served under Sherman.  I just didn’t know at the time, not that it made any difference to my friend’s 15 year who she had to send to her room. Emphasis on the Clintons and their vile ilk casts a shadow on how we can feel about ourselves as Americans, a slippery slope to dissolving the country.  Emphasis on how we caught the bastards, made their lives miserable in a variety of ways leaves us some dignity. Nonetheless, I am annoyed to discover all the sugar coating and outright omissions of essential histories like the fruit company interests of a member of Eisenhower’s administration that took out the President of Mexico for beneficial programs he was implementing that might compete with his company.  I’d like to know if that can still happen or safeguards are in place to prevent or prosecute the selfish bastards. Should probably google that.... I agree with you about keeping truth alive.  I enjoy classical music and don’t really care that Mozart was such a bastard.  Love the country, don’t care for how some of its leaders have operated.  Good that Alaska was made part of it though known as Seward’s folly for quite awhile.  Then there’s how we took Hawaii, not fair, and yet some country was going to, good it was us after England gave it back. Just set aside the book, The Heart of Everything That Is, because the harsh reality of what the Sioux warriors had practiced for hundreds of years on other Tribes was put to use on our Civil War veterans whose memories of the Roman Colliseum, the barbarities of the Crusades, and dungeons of the Inquisition had long since faded. Mine was a noble savage introduction to the Tribes, very James Fenimore Cooper.  By college, everything we European invaders, (we were no longer Americans) did was wrong, inexcusable.  So, imagine my dismay at discovering Red Cloud’s place in our history.  To get good grades and find out the education was false.....damn it!   

From The Heart of Everything That Is:  “ The Plains Indians had honed their war ethic for centuries, and their martial logic was notoriously fairly straight forward, both accepted by all tribes without challenge - no quarter asked, none given; to every enemy, death, the slower and more excruciating the better. ... Women of all ages were tortured to death, but not before being raped - unless they were young enough to be raped and then taken as captive slaves or hostages to be traded....  Crying babies were a burden on the trail, so they were summarily killed..... “.   What happened to counting coup?

Counting coup was the winning of prestige against an enemy by the Plains Indians of North America. Warriors won prestige by acts of bravery in the face of the enemy, which could be recorded in various ways and retold as stories. Any blow struck against the enemy counted as a coup, but the most prestigious acts included touching an enemy warrior with the hand, bow, or coup stick and escaping unharmed.[1][2] Touching the first enemy to die in battle or touching the enemy's defensive works also counted as coup,[1] as did, in some tribes, simply riding up to an enemy, touching him with a short stick, and riding away unscathed.[3]Counting coup could also involve stealing an enemy's weapons or horses tied up to his lodge in camp.[1] Risk of injury or death was required to count coup.[ (from Wikipedia) Apparently, my education was one sided.....so annoying!

Indeed.

I was indoctrinated in the 'noble savage' nonsense, too.  It flew in the face of what I knew to be true because I knew natives in Oregon and in Alaska.  Neither they nor their ancestors were any more or less 'noble' than anyone else and today remain a deeply, possibly fatally, flawed group of people.  We do them no favors with this nonsense re-writing of history portraying them as angels destroyed by demons.

Her lawlessness first made headlines 25 years ago, when she admitted that her cattle-futures broker had defied odds of one in 31 trillion by investing $1,000 from her trading account and returning a profit of nearly $100,000. Clinton failed to report about $6,500 in profits to the IRS. She initially lied about her investment windfall by claiming she made the wagers herself. She even fantastically alleged that she mastered cattle-futures trading by reading financial newspapers.

To paraphrase Clinton herself, anyone else would have been indicted for far less.

The reason that foreign oligarchs are no longer donating millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, and that Bill Clinton is not being offered $500,000 for speaking appearances in Moscow, is simply that Hillary Clinton is not secretary of state. She is no longer in a public position to hector her colleagues into approving pro-Russian commercial deals, such as the one that gave Russian interests access to North American uranium.

As secretary of state, Clinton also sidestepped the law by setting up a home-brewed email server. She transmitted classified documents over this insecure route and lied about it. And she destroyed some 30,000 emails that were in effect under subpoena. Anyone else would have been indicted for far less.

In truth, Clinton was at the heart of the entire Russian-collusion hoax. Even after the election, she kept fueling it in order to blame Trump–Russia conspiracies for her stunning defeat in 2016. Unable to acknowledge her own culpability as a weak and uninspiring candidate, Clinton formally joined the post-election “resistance” and began whining about collusion. That excuse seemed preferable to explaining why she had blown a huge lead and lost despite favorable media coverage and superior funding."

There is still hope, it seems.  Slowly, ever so slowly, the truth is coming out about the clintons.
