Good read.. Certainly explains a lot of the asshattery surrounding Comeys decision to cover up for Hillary.
If Trump is elected he better unleash the DOJ / FBI and start prosecuting these people.

The people are the only ones to ever stop the Clinton's.
The investigation was never going to lead to an indictment, supporters and opponents on ATS both knew this and have admitted it to be the likely case from day one. To the exact same extent, even if there were an indictment and prosecution, each also knew and admitted she and all involved would likely get pardoned. That being said, how the investigation was conducted, whether purposefully or by incompetence, and its ending result, is a moot point of the purest form. The People are powerless in that regard, and we know and admit it.
Over the past 20 years, dozens of military and civilian employees of the U.S. government have been punished for taking classified documents home from work without authorization. But few of these incidents have been made public, and the penalties have been extremely inconsistent, according to current and former federal officials.
*****
A review of roughly similar cases that have come to light through interviews, administrative hearings and court records indicates that military personnel generally receive harsher punishment than civilians, even when soldiers have mishandled documents that are of little consequence and civilians have compromised secrets that are clearly important. Moreover, the government's response to civilian cases has varied widely, from firing to a minor reprimand to no action at all.
Justice Department officials say they generally do not prosecute civilians at the CIA, Pentagon, State Department or other federal agencies who mishandle secret documents, as long as there is no evidence of criminal intent, the information is not divulged to a third party, and the employees are disciplined administratively by their agencies.
A former Justice Department official who handled such cases said the practice of not prosecuting civilians for security violations developed more than 20 years ago "so as not to embarrass [federal agencies or the White House] in the courtroom."
"No matter how gross the violation, there would be no prosecution if the agency took strong administrative action," such as removal from the job and loss of security clearances, the former official said.
Military personnel often are treated more severely. Jail sentences or stiff administrative penalties, such as demotions and discharges, are common for service members caught removing classified material without authorization.
This is the point that ought to be focused on.
How can We The People hire her for such an important job as POTUS when she would have been facing serious reprimand and potential of dismissal from her previous job -- twice removed from that which she is currently seeking?

Intriguing story here about how the FBI may have had it all planned out on handling the Clinton email investigation and other inquiries.
This seems to be coming from somebody on the inside.

I can't believe these low lives are still in power.
The Clampett's have embarrassed us once before.

0 proof.
I hate Hillary, but Hating Trump is slowly turning into generally just hating conservatives. Last election it was Democrats who apparently were willing to say ANYTHING, and now without fail Republicans back the most stupid hearsay nonsense.
Someone just told me they heard the Clinton Foundation personally keeps 90% of its donations. Forget fact checking, how do idiots lack the common sense to even doubt that?
