Comments at Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* I call it the \u201cJohn Roberts\u2019 Solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

* Comey said that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case. He is right about that. Hillary wouldn\u2019t be prosecuted unless they had video of her running someone down in her car, and even then, only if she backed over the guy a couple of times.<\/p>\n

* In most cases of people sending classified information over unsecured channels, they lose their job and their security clearances. Only in rare cases do they face criminal charges.<\/p>\n

The Petraeus case was unique because they actually have a taped interview showing that he knew that the information he was giving his mistress was classified.<\/p>\n

It was pretty unlikely that they would find evidence that Clinton was intentionally leaking classified information, and wasn\u2019t just incompetent.<\/p>\n

* \u201c\u2018extremely careless\u2019 in her handling of \u2018very sensitive, highly classified information.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump should write that down on an index card and use it as a prop in the debates. In fact, he should carry it with him from now until the polls close on election day, and he should make a show of pulling it out and reading from it every time he talks about Hillary. The idea being, that these are Hussein\u2019s FBI director\u2019s words, and he wants to make sure he gets the quotes right every time.<\/p>\n

He should call her \u201cextremely careless\u201d Hillary from now on. His catchphrase can be \u201cObama\u2019s FBI director said she was extremely careless with very sensitive, highly classified information.\u201d Then he can say, \u201cwait, here, let me quote Obama\u2019s FBI director, to make sure I\u2019ve got that right,\u201d and read from the card. Then wrap up with \u201cSecretary Clinton is too crooked and incompetent to be PotUS. She\u2019s too crooked and incompetent to be the president of Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n

* The Dark Enlightenment is not a worldview that people can be talked into or convinced to be believed purely abstractly or rhetorically. It takes events and circumstances making people ask themselves WTF. And there have been a lot of those in the last 14 months. The only reason they haven\u2019t begat more converts to the Dark Enlightenment and #NRx is because Trump came along and temporarily gave some of us the impetus to give this voting thing one more chance.<\/p>\n

* Can we all please stop pretending now that the FBI is competent and uncorrupt?<\/p>\n

Seriously, after Orlando and San Bernadino, the FBI\u2019s reputation should have been on extremely shaky ground. Unfortunately, the news media wasn\u2019t smart enough the notice that the FBI should have nipped those thugs in the bud\u2014they even had the suspects on their radar, but didn\u2019t bother following up. And the public\u2014especially the right wing\/Trump wing\u2014is too enamored of the cops\/law enforcement to admit the gross incompetence displayed.<\/p>\n

This non-indictment for her crimes is just proof how much the FBI is nothing more than a controlled entity of the political hacks in Washington. Historically, this will mark a point where future scholars will say that the FBI officially became merely a secret police organization without any fidelity to principles or law, only to their political leaders.<\/p>\n

And Comey\u2019s reputation is truly trashed\u2014he will come out extremely poorly in terms of how historians note his character. He\u2019s now a known yes-man for the power brokers and the money men.<\/p>\n

After the Whitey Bulger revelations\u2014where the FBI was working hand in glove with organized crime and allowing it to get off scot-free\u2014the FBI should have become a distrusted organization and looked at skeptically. But there is a profound disconnect in this country between the massive fuckups and corruption of the G-Men\u2013stretching at least back to Hoover refusing to investigate or even admit organized crime existed, on the fear of being outed as a homosexual\u2014and the public\/media perception of them.<\/p>\n

The FBI guys are hacks.<\/p>\n

* This really is an irrelevant distraction to me, and not in the way that Steve means it. Hillary is bad because she\u2019s in the pocket of neocons and banksters, not because of anything that happened to any e-mails or, to take another distraction, to ambassador Stevens.<\/p>\n

The policies she supports, the crowd that\u2019s gathered around her, will kill thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Middle Easterners if she wins. This will increase the incidence of terrorism and refugee flows. THAT\u2019s what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n

Her computer illiteracy or carelessness are utterly irrelevant. I bet that no foreign intelligence service learned anything new from this, but even if they did, that would also be irrelevant next to the policies which Hillary supports.<\/p>\n

* I worked for the intelligence community (as a technical person, not a \u201cspook\u201d) in the late \u201980s and much of the \u201990s.<\/p>\n

Had I done what Hillary did, I am quite certain I would have gone to jail.<\/p>\n

I was in fact present at a meeting when an intelligence breach occurred. Although the breach was not my fault, I pointed it out immediately, and the meeting was immediately ended. I had a clear legal obligation to point out the security breach \u2014 again, even though I was not the cause of that breach.<\/p>\n

One of my co-workers in fact went to jail for security violations.<\/p>\n

I agree with other commenters here that Hillary\u2019s unbridled militarism is a much serious crime than her malfeasance concerning classified information.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Comey does nicely demonstrate how corrupt the system is: he admits massive breaches on her part, but she gets away scot-free.<\/p>\n

Any ordinary American should feel like throwing up. We\u2019re not citizens; we\u2019re just peasants serving the elite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
