[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The report is full of examples of bias.  I read one pundit who compared this to Comey laying out a case for prosecution of Clinton and then saying "no reasonable prosecutor" would indict.  Many "reasonable prosecutors" have said they would have indicted her.  Or, at least, called a Grand Jury.  They had not intention of indicting her ever--or, a Grand Jury would have been called.  Why was no one indicted?  Several people lied.  Several destroyed evidence, too.[/quote]

All of the actions for which the IG faulted Comey were actions that hurt Clinton. The IG specifically criticized Comey for laying out the case against Clinton which he should not have done. It violated FBI procedure and his instructions from the DOJ. Comey did significant damage to Clinton. At the same time, he protected Trump.

The only way he could have done significant damage to Clinton is by charging her under the espionage act, which he didn't.

This statement below, by Comey is NOT believable given past cases on mishandling of classsified information, legal precedent. the espionage statutes and existing US Code on actions, and NDA Standard Form 312, which Hillary Clinton signed.

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.
To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.
As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear."

Bottom line, Hillary Clinton was given special treatment that NO ONE else would get.
