Clinton FBI Release Megathread: Hillary's 11 cell phones, concussion, etc

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

I'll vote for clinton because I wish to live within a first world country that continues to invest in its self as in educating our children, investing in science and infrastructure. I don't care if she did pay for play or was careless about her emails as I understand my government is corrupt, but of the two choices I choose clinton.

Not saying that you can't vote for Clinton, if you want to by all means do it, but this is essentially a four choice election. If you'd rather vote for Johnson or Stein, just do it. The "wasted vote" theory is only a thing because people buy into it - if everyone who said "I want to vote third-party but I don't want to waste my vote" just decided to be bold and do it, you could get someone like Johnson up to the high teens, perhaps even low twenties.

Again, what part of no indictment to cynic, Seriously??!! and ABBA Boy not understand? None of this lead the FBI to recommend indictment, so clearly it's going nowhere.

So unless you're thrown in jail for something, there's nothing wrong with it, period? So if I go and steal something but never get caught, it's fine? I mean that's basically what you're arguing.

The FBI had access to all of this same information, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing to convict her on. Unless you think that you have better judgement on these issues than the ing FBI, which is basically what all of you are saying, I think it's time to get over this.

You know what? If the FBI had indicted Clinton, I would have been pretty bummed that I had supported a criminal, but I would have respected the decision. I would have acknowledged that, whatever my personal feelings on the matter might be, the FBI are the authority on these matters and I am not. I would have acknowledged that Clinton had comitted some crime, probably endangered national security, and that she was probably not fit to be President, despite my subjective feelings that she was. On the other hand, given that she was not indicted, I think that it is best to acknowledge that she acted careless, not to forgive her, but to maintain my support of her, knowing that she is flawed, but incredibly qualified to be President despite that, and absolutely the best choice that we have right now.

Well, if you've got nothing else to go on...

So, um, there appear to be two universes: one where this totally exonerates Clinton (reality) and the other where EMAILS EMAILS EMAILS continues to be a legitimate campaign issue.

I wouldn't say that it "totally exonerates" her, but yeah, it's a done deal. Clinton was careless, she did some stupid things, but at this point, riffing on it more isn't going to accomplish anything. After Labor Day, hopefully the emails will drop off the radar again (where they belong), and the danger that the orange clown presents to America and the world will once again move to the forefront.
