The rape case was dismissed at the plaintiffs request.

IIRC, the FBI Director is appointed for 10 years, he could stick around if he's into abuse....

Expect his resignation on Obama's desk, 8am this Wednesday morning, Nov 9th.

Monday would be better & more appropriate. Comey threw the election into a tizzy & needs to admit he was wrong before the election.

Honestly, whatever damage he has done (I don't really thing he did any--people made up their minds on this at least 3+ months ago) has been done. Putting himself in front of the public tomorrow, even if it is completely conciliatory is just more of the same self-serving distracting bullshit that keeps real issues off the table.

The more people are talking about things that don't matter in any way: emails, FBI, this retard,
the less they are considering
that rough beast, its hour come at last,
now slouching its way towards Bethlehem, trying to steal your vote.

Bring us some actual evidence of improprieties at the Clinton Foundation--but be sure to ignore the hundreds of millions that they have factually portioned out for development, research, disease eradication, and education throughout the world. You know, stuff that actual Christians do. Not that you would know, because you are a poor excuse for a Christian.

You are, without irony, a hypocrite dipstick.

lol this is too easy

There is a whole book about the scams the Clintons have pulled at the "foundation" that personally enriched themselves and their staff in which the majority of donations have been paid out as salary and expenses in the latter years. But you keep ignoring all of that since it does not fit your beliefs about the Clintons. And since you cant bother to do your own research, you are a poor excuse for an atheist.

She is as dirty as the day is long.

And look here it is coming out of the horses mouth just this weekend:

https://www.rt.com/usa/365442-clinton-foundation-qatar-emails/

The payment, which was first revealed in an email exchange with Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta a month ago, has just been officially confirmed by the Foundation. The check was reportedly a gift to former President Bill Clinton in 2011 for his 65h birthday. A meeting was to take place between him and Qatari officials at some point, according to an email published last month. It is not clear if this ever took place, however.

Earlier in 2009, when Clinton became Secretary of State, she had to sign an agreement to prevent any conflicts of interest which stipulated that her influential global foundation could not receive any support from foreign sources without her notifying the State Department, according to Reuters. This was intended to ensure transparency and combat public perception that US foreign policy could be dictated by foreign money.

The agreement was also designed to give the State Department time to examine donations and raise any concerns in cases when a foreign entity wanted to “increase materially” the funding for any of the Foundation’s programs.

However, Clinton kept the $1 million check from Qatar a secret. While Foundation officials declined to confirm its existence last month, with just days to go before the election, the daily WikiLeaks revelations, and the FBI’s relaunched investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server gaining momentum, its spokesman, Brian Cookstra, finally admitted to receiving the money, though he insisted that the sum did not qualify as a “material increase” in Qatari support of the foundation.

But please, do vote for her. :rolleyes:

The book he is referring to is "Clinton Cash", written by a Breitbart editor and already heavily discredited as bullshit. The author has admitted that he has absolutely no evidence to support the book's claims. The gift to the Clinton foundation, that never personally benefited any member of the Clinton family, was not hidden it just wasn't specifically referred to the State Department for review.

Charity Watch gives the Clinton Foundation an A rating

Where's Comey's apology? Or is it par for his course for him to shoot first and ask questions later, interfere in an election and smear a woman who even by his own admission is innocent of any crime, because she somehow deserves it in his eyes? I hope he has his resignation letter ready. He handed confidential information "extremely recklessly" and has compromised the FBI.

Yet, the "foundation" is the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in human history. They also took cash from foreign governments after signing a pledge not to do so when Hillary became SOS.

In released wiki emails, Chelsea Clinton even expressed concerns about conflicts of interest in taking foreign money from entities who had business with the government:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/chelsea-clinton-foundation-conflicts-emails-229605

In December 2011, Chelsea Clinton sent a sharply worded email to top family confidants saying that people in London had raised "serious concerns" about the way Teneo was using her father's name to set up meetings for clients, according to private emails released by WikiLeaks. "I will raise all of this and more with my father this evening," she wrote. "Wanted to update you all in the meanwhile about my augmented concerns post London."

At the time, Chelsea Clinton had already been pushing to enact tougher rules at the foundation regarding conflicts of interest and outside income. In response, Band blasted her behind her back as an irrational ingrate who runs “to daddy to change a decision or interject herself in the process.”

We heard all this BS before, so far Comey cleared her on emails, and Baier withdrew his foundation indictment BS. This boy has cried "Wolf" a few times too many. But I am sure, House GOP will be having their hearings. It's not like they have a party's reputation to rebuild after Trump.

Zinfamous said it best

Is your trust set up to enrich yourselves with your friend's money by purchasing portraits of yourself and funding the various lawsuits against you? Is your trust also an illegal operation in the state in which you tried to open it?

Because that is the activity you endorse, numbnuts.

Bring us some actual evidence of improprieties at the Clinton Foundation--but be sure to ignore the hundreds of millions that they have factually portioned out for development, research, disease eradication, and education throughout the world.

Is someone seriously making an argument for Trump because they are complaining about corruption?

The only reason this is even a close discussion is because of the complete asymmetry of information.

The Clintons have been subject to 30 yrs of attacks, investigations and misinformation. Let alone targets of hacking and subterfuge by the Russians (ahem, wikileaks..) Despite the accusations, they have very little that isn't public knowledge. What do have they have to show for it other than pretty bullshit?

Trump, OTOH, has gotten away disclosing almost nothing.

We know almost nothing about his business dealings, who he owes money to, and where is money is. Taxes? Nothing.
He has no plan to separate himself from his business, other than giving it to Uday and Qusay to run, and have us trust him to be honest.

One of the great things about Righties is that they never admit to jumping to conclusions, like they've done with the resurrection of this whole email flap. Instead, they just switch to secondary speculation & innuendo wrt the Clinton Foundation as if nothing ever happened.

They never question their own headsets so they never learn from past mistakes. They just fall for more of the same, over & over.

You're just making shit up now. How far up your own ass do you have to dig to pull this crap out? The foundation is legitimately one of the most productive and helpful charitable organizations on this planet. They never signed a pledge to not take money from foreign governments, they agreed to allow new or material increases in donations from foreign entities to undergo State Department review before being accepted. As to what constitutes material increase and whether or not the Qatar gift qualifies was unfortunately not well defined and whoever was in charge of submitting it decided it didn't qualify, and yes that was likely an incorrect decision.The gift was still submitted in tax returns for the organization. Hillary was not a board member of the Foundation during this time.

The wiki email you're referencing from Chelsea actually proves your own points wrong in fact. Chelsea feared that some members were intermixing work for the Foundation with personal interests and was going to involve her father because no member of the Clinton family wanted even a minor appearance of impropriety. The fact that even an appearance would bother Chelsea and Bill proves all your other points invalid.

Seriously, pull your head out of your ass.

No it isn't you fraudulent sockpuppet. What purpose does it serve you to make such a pointless claim that, by definition, is completely un-provable?

Oh, right--this goes back to the "I only have to believe in something strong enough to make it true! Any evidence that contradicts my belief is merely evidence that proves the conspiracy!"

Oh, and good luck with your happy little stock trading if your fat little turnip boy ever gets his hands in the cookie jar. I bet your dishonest self is already hedging against that disaster and you won't dare admit it. :D

Yes it's actually amazing. Trump "doesn't need" to publish his taxes (we all know what's in them), and Melania "doesn't need" to publish her immigration records. (Because it would reveal that she worked illegally, but this has come out now nevertheless, not that anyone cares...).

Point is that while the lying Trump clan gets away not having to show ANYTHING, they need to investigate Clinton multiple times, and now even after two investigations with ZERO result and "no charges recommended" she is "guilty" and needs "to go to prison" or better "be hanged".

As MM mentioned, how many investigations do we need for Clinton? Eight?

And...irony...let's say there had been eight investigations..and each with the same result, Trumptards would still call her "guilty", accuse "the government", the FBI, NASA and whoever of "conspiracy", the usual spiel. But Trump would be fine shooting someone on 5th avenue. We know this as well. They are beyond help.

Deny it all you want. Make excuses if you like. And here's another tidbit for you to digest:

According to Foundation records and testimony, the Qatar money continued to come in at “equal or lower” levels after 2009, but it declined to specify the differences in the funding before and after that period, or if it had changed significantly after Clinton took on the post of secretary of state.

A former Foundation fundraiser details some $21 million raised for Bill Clinton’s birthday in another email.

The Foundation’s somewhat forced admission that it had received Qatari money comes shortly after a recently leaked email exchange between Clinton and her campaign manager, John Podesta, from 2014 startlingly revealed that she was aware Qatar and Saudi Arabia are directly funding Islamic State terrorists. This was discussed at length in John Pilger’s exclusive interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that airs on RT on Saturday and can be viewed in full here.

To help put America's mind at ease, crooked Hillary's Foundation said back in August:

It promised in August that, if Hillary becomes president, it will stop accepting money from all foreign governments and close down any ongoing programs sustained by those funds.

It's about DAMN time! And how about you stop doing that now, before the election?

In other words because of jackasses like you, one of the most effective charities in existence will have to help fewer people. I'm sure you're even proud of yourself, because you're clearly a disturbed individual.

First, the Podesta email does not indicate Clinton was unaware of them funding ISIS, in fact it indicates Clinton is accusing them. Second, the Qatar gift was in 2011, ISIS didn't exist until 2014.
