Conway: No plan to pursue charges against Clinton

[buckshot24]

I dont give him any credit, its not like giving the go to get Bin Laden. Its the only decision Trump could of made.

You've been waiting to use that, haven't you?

 

[buckshot24]

If thats the case you should be able to easily link to articles on those sites that talk about all of these criminal things she has done.

She did break the law, Comey just said that there was no intent to do it.

 

[buckshot24]

All that proves is that Chaffetz is the dumbest member of the GOP. There is zero to be gained by continuing these attacks. More investigations will just reveal what we all already know, that Clinton didn't do anything wrong.

Only if they are the partisan motivated attacks you people believe they are.

Then that's not breaking the law.

There's also the fact that he might be under some of the same rocks he would have to flip over to 'get' her.

By far the biggest problem is the basic threat to democracy of instructing the justice department to investigate and jail your political enemies. That should be grounds for immediate impeachment.

You mean the partisan attacks that the GOP admitted they were.

If the statute doesn't require intent then it is.

Also, false exculpatory statements is a way to prove intent.

I must have missed that memo. When did "the GOP" admit this?

Wait, so now there was intent? You're all over the place here and you're saying things you can't possibly come even remotely close to proving.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/14/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi-committee/

Rep. Richard Hanna, R-New York, said Wednesday on New York's' WIBX 950, "Sometimes the biggest sin you can commit in D.C. is to tell the truth."
"This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton,"

Ok, that isn't "the GOP" that is one guy's opinion who happens to be in the GOP.

I was saying what Comey said, not that I agreed with him. I think any reasonable person would agree that Hillary didn't tell the truth, multiple times, about her email situation. Those false statements were always in the direction of clearing her, not the other way around.

You said she broke the law and then claimed the director of the FBI stated a fact that would mean she didn't break the law. You're contradicting yourself all over the place.

"What you're going to see is a conservative speaker that takes a conservative Congress that puts a strategy (in place) to fight and win. And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen."

this wasn't just "some Republican," this was the House Majority Leader who was on-track to be the next Speaker of the House before that interview.

Here is another one:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/45194428...would-differ-from-john-boehner/#sp=show-clips

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the likely successor to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), told Fox News’s Sean Hannity explicitly on Tuesday night that the Clinton investigation was part of a “strategy to fight and win.”

He explained: “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought.”

Oh so now sitting congressmen don't count as the GOP. Do they have to put it in the party platform or something? How about the House Majority leader withdrawing his bid for the speakership after admitting basically the same thing? Let me guess, you'll deny that one too.

Sometimes you're wrong and you just have to admit it.

 

[buckshot24]

She broke the law but Comey said she didn't do it on purpose. I'm not contradicting myself at all, I'm contradicting Comey.

 

[dank69]

And Gowdy admitted on Fox News that even if troops rushed to the scene they couldn't have saved Stevens.

No, a sitting congressman doesn't count as "the GOP". I'm not the one is wrong here.

Ha, so "the GOP" agreed with the statement so much that he couldn't be elected speaker because of it?

There is nothing stopping President-Elect trump from impaneling a Grand Jury after he takes office, giving them the results of the FBI investigation and seeing if they hand down an indictment. My guess is they're playing the political game with the Clintons not to make it worth their while.

especially not common sense

 

[Jhhnn]

That's obviously been true from the beginning. I's just the latest in a series of empty puffed up scandals from Birtherism forward.

 

[fskimospy]

Then what counts as the GOP? Be specific. Five? Ten? Fifty? All of them? Do they have to buy an infomercial? What?

Color me shocked that you're now denying public statements by the House Majority Leader and another sitting congressman as being indicative of the GOP position. Now apparently large swaths of the GOP has to make public statements that they know to be electorally ruinous in order for it to meet buckshot's standard.

 

[trenchfoot]

Seems to me there is a good possibility that the internal war the Repubs have been waging among themselves ain't over by a long shot, and it's going to carry over into Trump's tenure. Maybe not as loud and as visceral as it was, but revenge and one upper's are reflexes that are really hard to rewsist, especially when high stakes are involved. And there's nothing like behind the scenes treachery and skillful skullduggery to keep things heated up. I can just see how numerous Repub political operatives are patting each other on the back with stilettos in hand right about now.

How Trump is going to referee this melee is beyond me. But hey, that's the style of doing business he's really good at so maybe he can.

If anything, I'm thinking he's going to rearrange the political playing field as much as he can to his advantage and start "negotiating" for deals "they" can't refuse.

So Trump's walking back on things that gives him leverage and standing firm on other things for the same reason.

I just find it so.......helplessly frustrating that our lives and our futures are resting on the whims of a guy who's playing the system, the establishment more for himself and his family than the folks who put him in office and the rest of us who couldn't believe a guy like Trump, of all people, could be trusted enough to be handed in his care the fate of a whole nation based on promises he's either walking back or "didn't really mean but don't matter anymore".
