Although there is evidence of
potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified
information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a
case.

Excerpt
from Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of
Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System
It is this statement that has remained with me since hearing
the news that the FBI would not recommend prosecution of Clinton. I would like to examine one word from the
statement.
Reasonable: agreeable
to reason or sound judgment; logical. Capable
of rational behavior, decision, etc.
Who can disagree with Comey’s statement?
What reasonable prosecutor
– a political appointee – would want to take on someone who not only still has
significant political pull but could very well be the next President of the
United States?
What reasonable prosecutor
would want to get on the wrong side of the Clinton machine – a machine rumored
to be on the perpetrating side of several unfortunate “accidents” to those who
reportedly did them wrong?
Comey is correct: a reasonable
prosecutor, using sound judgment and rational behavior, would never bring
such charges.
Of course, this was a reasonable statement to make even
before any investigation.
You have to wonder: what was the point?
What was the point?
ReplyDeleteLarry Nichols in this mini-documentary puts forth the (at least) interesting idea that the Clintons unleashed email-gate themselves in an attempt to in some way frame Hillary as a kind of "underdog" in the Presidential race.
Slick if true. Anyway, you have to admit that with these two, anything is possible.
