FBI’s Comey indicts Clinton character, competence

Written by Teunis Felter

Hillary Clinton got her wish that the FBI would not recommend criminal charges for her homebrew email setup. Now she will suffer the consequences. On Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey announced that 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.” He cited “a number of factors” in reaching this decision, beyond the possibly criminal acts. So Hillary skates? Not hardly. In fact, this could be the worst outcome possible. She might have been better off with a criminal indictment.
