Quote:He laid out exactly why she should be prosecuted and then summarily concluded the equivalent of 'No one would really charge Hillary tho, I mean come on!' I believe what he said, I just think he made a choice that would personally benefit him by not recommending charges even though he had plenty of support to do so, and stated that if it was someone else they usually would be charged. It was a cop out. I don't know why he did it, but I suspect that it was politically expedient.

 

Edit: 'Just because I would sell out'? Where did I say that. If it were me, and I believed all the things he said prior to his conclusion, I would have recommended charging. I don't think that anyone who disagrees with me is a sell out, but I do think that someone who lays out all the evidence why Clinton should be charged, and then recommends something else is a sell-out. Its simple, if he came out, said she had no classified emails at the time, and that everything her campaign said is true, and he could see no reason to charge her, then his conclusion makes sense. But thats not what happened.

 

You would have recommended charging in order to achieve a political end. That's called selling out. Comey explained very clearly why he thought that it would be wrong to charge her. But of course you know best! And you say he made a decision that was best for him but can't explain what what that benefit would be.

 

I understand you are disappointed that you didn't have your political work done for you. I understand your fear that Donbo won't be able to defeat someone like Clinton. But you need to face the reality that this election is going forward and you'll just have to hope that the carnival barker wins.
