Greetings, Erik. :2wave:
It was Bill who privately met with Lynch at the airport, not the other way around. I said at the time - and I still feel the same - that it was unfair of Bill to put her in that position, because perception is important when the public is involved, not that it matters much in any event, BTW.
Lynch has been around the political block for long enough to know how bad this would be, how bad it would look, and what the public would few all this. Should would have been better off to deny Bill the meeting, or hell, just have given him a phone number, for christ's sake! There was no need for an in-person meeting.
Comey did the right thing...he presented his agency's decision, and explained to the public on national TV the reasons why, and left it up to the listening audience to decide whether or not the correct decision was made! Well done, and it did allow her to confirm that she would abide by the FBI's recommendation. Case closed as far as those involved, including the administration, is concerned. What's next? :shock:
"What's next?"
The nation will continue to descend into ever more, ever deeper, ever worse of the political elite's corruption, dragging the entire nation down with it. Hillary has clearly demonstrated that she, being one of the political elite, isn't held responsible for her actions or decisions, and any criminal repercussions are forgotten, minimized, excused, and out right covered up.
She is 'Too Big To Jail'.
This is also clearly shown in Comey's inventing a requirement in the law of Hillary's 'intent', when previously there was no such requirement, at least this is the excuse being used by the elites at this time to to get Hillary off. Next time the need arises, thery'll be another excuse. Lather, rinse, repeat, as needed.
Just consider this particular list of facts:
- Clinton signed 'Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement' on her second day at the State Department
- It says she was personally responsible for determining if sensitive documents in her possession were classified at the highest level
- Spelled out criminal laws under which she could be prosecuted
- Hillary has said on the campaign trail that top-secret classified info found on her private email server wasn't classified originally and it wasn't her job to know better
Clearly, Comey's 'intent' excuse is exactly that, an excuse, the fix was in. The political elites are protecting their own, regardless of the cost to the nation and the electorate.
The upset Bernie supporters are just the start, there's an equally, or even more so, upset part of the right end of the political spectrum.
One doesn't go through a briefing about SCINDA, sign an SCINDA without realizing what it means, and then go and conduct government business on your own, insecure privately run email server and still claim there is no intent involved. That's just ridiculous.
The US certainly isn't the nation that it used to be. Doubtful that it will be the nation that it once was, ever again. It'll forever be a nation
without equal justice for all. The first of the nation's foundational principals to fall. There will be more. Seems likely that the 2ndd amendment may be next, but there may be others that beat it to demise.
And to imagine that some continue to think that Hillary is the right candidate to elect as POTUS, and that the political elites aren't corrupt, and it will not harm the nation if the political elite continue their corrupt ways unabated.
<*sigh*>
