Sometimes things happen that make you scratch your head in
wonderment. Terms like “what were they
thinking” and “how in the world could that happen” jump into mind. According to all the reports I could find, FBI
director Comey is an honorable and sincere man.
My question is this: if that is
the case, how in the world could he, after the litany of points in his
statement, not recommend action by the justice department against Hillary
Clinton?’ Another statement that comes
to mind is one I grew up with: “if it sounds like a rattler, and looks like
a snake, don’t pick it up.”
In Mr. Comey’s statement, he clearly pointed out Hillary’s
negligence, her knowledge of classified information, the deletion of State Department
documents and putting classified documents on unsecured devices. All of these points are clearly in violation
of United States statues and all are punishable under the law. Whether or not
intent was involved has no bearing on the matter. Mr. Comey is more than aware that Ms. Clinton
is criminally vulnerable and should at least face prosecution.
There is also the question of what happens when someone
knowingly lies under oath during a Senate/Congressional hearing, or during an
FBI investigation. How many times have
we heard from the mouths of Ms. Clinton and her covey of accomplices,” I never,
I didn’t”, when it clearly is in fact that they did.
I most generally
do not like indulging in the game of “what ifs” to make a point because
conjecture is seldom supported by solid fact.
However, (a somewhat infamous word), in this case because of the nature
of the player s involved, I have to wonder: did Mr. Comey’s sense of decency
conflict with the narrative that was politically forced upon him; did he try to
tell us as citizens that the fix was in and that there was no way Hillary would
be convicted of her crimes; and that the Attorney General of the United States
would never prosecute the case. Regardless
of fact, like it or not, the POTUS would ensure that no Democratic nominee for
President ever faced even the possibility of conviction.
