A travesty of justice would be charging an innocent woman with espionage.
A travesty of justice would be not charging Trump with Treason and Espionage. Treason is an "at war" distinction that could be made under the "war on terror"
If you re-read my post I did state that "if" she is found guilty. I don't know whether or not she is or isn't, but the evidence needs to be presented in a court of law. That is my relevant point.
Not to put too fine a point on this. But actually, Comey just took it and told Lynch that he would be making an announcement. Comey is out there arguing that Loretta dirtied herself out on the tarmac so he had to step in as the unappeciated savior.
Wrong on Comey's part. If Loretta had to recuse then it would fall to Rosenstein or another in the chain of command within the Justice Department prosecutorial division/ranks. There is no chain of succession over to the Law Enforcement/Investigators for prosecutorial decisions.
Similarly, if your local district attorney needs to recuse then he/she needs to give the decision making authority to an underling or ask the state AG to appoint someone to do it. There is absolutely no basis for the local chief of police or the chief investigator for the state police to step up the mike and declare that he is in charge, as though he is Al Haig or something.
Comey's duty there was to write up his referral over to the Justice Department and privately explain further as needed to them. Then he is done. Whether the Justice Department prosecutiorial division prosecutes or not is up to them and it is up to them to work out how and who will decide that if Loretta is too dirty.
Comey also had the power to recuse earlier and to ask the AG to appoint a special counsel if he felt that things were too messed up to carry out a clean investigation because he, his people, and/or Loretta were too conflicted.
Again, Comey is out there playing the role of poor public servant who rose to do what is best for the country while knowing it would hurt him. Bullfeathers. He is a total fuck-up and took the unprofessional road at every turn.
There is enough evidence to bring the charge, and it's not for you, me, the media, or twitter mob to determine her guilt or innocence
The fbi recently concluded that the guy in charge of the Hillary investigation was a total fucking liar who would have no future credibility in court so needed to be unceremoniously shit-canned.
And this was even before the yet-to-come IG report on the fbi investigation of hillary is released.
Those factors are not exactly on your side when you and your ilk argue that she had a proper investigation. The IG certainly has not concluded that yet.
Apparently you are correct. I suspect he's looking far into the future and since there's so much corruption and criminal activity in our government he doesn't want to open up a can of worms which may come back to bite the republicans once democrats again have the upper hand. Foolish on his part, because the left will gut whoever and wherever they can moving forward.
Agreed. But we are talking about Hillary- not "an innocent woman."
