Cheesus Christ.
I could barely see Anderson behind the kid gloves he was wearing for this interview. The molly-coddling is real.
Compare this interview with Don Lemon's grilling of anybody that supports the Donald. Maybe if Anderson had taken off his glasses to show how serious he was about his questioning, some impact would have been gleaned.
My takeaway from this is the line of questioning, and the pursuit of real answers is as soft as Cooper's and Lemon's manhood.
CNN is a freaking joke.
Especially felt safe with Anderson Cooper. The live fake news casts in Libya, everyones forgotten about that.
Better'n that even. Go back and listen to the squelch around the 6:40 mark in the video. They had to patch her answer after the fact is my guess. After hearing that, I can understand why there was no video of Clinton in the interview.

When 80% don't get prosecuted? I don't think so. Fired - maybe. Prosecuted - no.
We have no evidence that the leaked "classified" documents from Manning have done anything but enlighten people.
We do have evidence that Hillary's mishandling of "classified" information on many levels, not just e-mails, led to the Death of Americans and God knows how many Libyan's.

What happened to "ignorance of the law is no excuse"? If I do something illegal, whether or not I knew it was, would make no difference. Even if I had no intent to break the law, I still did and would be held accountable. That i didn't mean to may get me some slack, but I'm still going to be charged.
Common sense alone should have told her not to do many of the things she did, but, like always, she gets a pass because......?
"Well it's ok, she didn't mean to put our country and soldiers at risk". BIG eye roll.

Look Boba, I'm not a big Hillary fan myself. I think she started her life being an idealist, but over the years she has become the typical corrupt politician - taking money for favors, etc. However, I believe in following law, not vigilante justice or "we just know she's guilty of lots of stuff so lets burn her alive" kind of justice. We have to follow the word of the law, precedent, etc.
I know for a fact that Comey isn't a Hillary fan either, but he knows he has to follow law and precedent. He knows that in her case, they can't prosecute based on the evidence they have, no matter how much he might dislike her personally. You can't make up laws of your own to get the justice you want - you have to follow what exists as law.

The thing is, that Comey himself said that if anybody else did what she did, there would be consequences. Paraphrasing of course.
I just don't see how she has gotten a pass, when lesser mortals are rotting away in prison, or paying heavily for doing less.
