Americans Don’t Trust Our Institutions Because They Fail To Prosecute Crooks Like Hillary

[Geee]

The Federalist:

The FBI announcement Tuesday was not a surprise. It was always unlikely that Hillary Clinton would face a federal indictment for using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of State, no matter what the FBI’s investigation revealed.

 

The surprise was that FBI Director James Comey, in a prepared statement, laid out in detail all the ways Clinton broke the law—transmitting and compromising classified information, destroying state records, failing to turn over “several thousand” work-related emails, some of which contained classified material. He then concluded that no “reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges against Clinton in such a case.

 

If you’re wondering why Americans are losing confidence in our political system, this is why. Our political elites can’t even be bothered to conceal the appearance of corruption or their sense of entitlement.

The FBI announcement came just days after Bill Clinton met privately aboard a private plane with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. But don’t worry, Lynch said she didn’t discuss the FBI investigation with her old friend Bill, who in 1999 appointed her U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Also, don’t worry about reports that Hillary is open to retaining Lynch as her attorney general. That has nothing to do with how the FBI has handled this investigation, trust them.
