The FBI Director may have been incorrect in his assumptions regarding whether or not Hillary Clinton should be indicted on criminal charges for her gross negligence in handling Top Secret & Highly Classified Government Documents & Information on her private email servers, for which she had no government permission, at any level, to do.
The call on indictment is not his call, it is the call of a Federal Prosecutor. The FBI Director can only offer his personal opinion regarding indictment.....which he did. Other than making sure the FBI investigation's findings are delivered to the appropriate authorities, his obligations end the moment he turns them over, which preceded his statements.
Now it's up to Hillary Clinton to respond to the facts contained in the FBI Findings....not his opinion.....no, the actual findings.
Hillary Clinton will have to answer to the Court of Public Opinion......the American People.....answer to Congress.....the representatives of the American People.......& answer to any Federal Court that may or may not decide to prosecute her, irregardless of Mr. Comey's personal opinion(s) suggesting otherwise.
She may hem & haw....dance to & fro....& slither from here to there, but in the end she must answer to the statements below:
FBI Director Comey's Seven (7) Most Damning Statements
from the FBI's Investigation on Clinton
Source: CNN
Quote:1. "Extremely careless"
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
2. "Should have known"
"There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position, or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation."
3. "Especially concerning"
"None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at agencies and departments of the United States government -- or even with a commercial email service like Gmail."
4. "Still obligated to protect it"
"Only a very small number of the emails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked 'classified' in an email, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it."
5. "Generally lacking"
While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified email systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information that is found elsewhere in the government.
6. "Hostile actors"
"We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton's use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent."
7. "Sophisticated adversaries"
"She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account."
As noted by the WE in the above statements, the Director was speaking of cumulative findings from within the investigation completed by the FBI, & these were not Comey's personal opinions, but rather the actual findings of the FBI Probe into Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton, which was delivered to the proper authorities for further determination, a determination the FBI Director has no say in, or control over whatsoever.
I can't wait to see how she tries to dodge on those issues of fact......but dodge she will, because when confronted with the truth, as a liar, it's her only option.
