Not hard. Clinton had been wallowing at the bottom of an ocean of her own slime for more than 20 years before Trump decided to run.

Yeh, Lock her Up! always sounded great. So did Burn the Witch! 500 years ago. The same principles apply.

I’ve always found it interesting that several decades of obviously partisan investigations that all ended with nothing against Hillary Clinton have convinced a subset of America not that she’s innocent, but that she’s guilty.

Eventually you would think people would turn against the investigators and conclude they were the ones guilty of misconduct but...nope.

They've already made up their mind about the verdict. Really, the investigation/investigators are just for show but they don't really need it.

It's all cool, but Comey should have warned the country before the election. He felt very strongly about keeping us posted on Hillary's emails, but saved his concerns about Trump until after. He is the reason Trump is president.


No it's your retarded EC system.

Comey paints himself as an idiot. At the very least, an untrustworthy liar. Plenty of Dems and Repubs don't like him for just that reason.

Trump doesn't need help making himself look bad. Comey just seems like a bitter person who does nothing but pat himself on the back while slamming everyone else.

I would not argue that point....figuratively speaking of course as I don't believe Trump is literally insane, just narcissistic and incompetent as hell.

That's why he's a Republican. He gets to surround himself with people of a similar bent.

Assuming anyone cares, Stephen Colbert did an unedited, 32 minute interview with James Comey. Pretty interesting to say the least.

I just finished watching this, and Comey is an inspiring guy. People might not like, might hate Comey for Clinton but I now see what went into the decisions and although one might disagree with what he did the reasons were clearly based not on politics but on a sense of doing the right thing within the law when all choices are bad.

This guy is morally and ethically light years beyond Trump and his ilk.

It is the end result of decades of 'where there is smoke there must be fire' type propaganda. It is the argument of 'if you have nothing to hide you should not mind being searched' and 'only guilty people run'. They have trained us to believe that the accusations are themselves proof of the things they are accusing. It is the exact sort of thing that the Miranda Rights is supposed to protect us against. But those rights have been under assault since the late 80's, for this very reason.

They washed away the presumption of innocence because they know their own corruption, and therefore assume everyone must be the same, lest there be some kind of moral superiority to which they might need to heed.

I find it strange that people ignore how great things were under Bill and stuff we should all like things like paying down the deficit, record employment, no big wars, successful strip clubs and overall good times.
Best times of
My life happened under Clinton’s watch.
