Should Hillary have been indicted?

[/]

[Chief Justice Keef]

No, because even though I believe she was incredibly negligent and careless in her handling of the e-mails, it would've been an impossible case to prosecute.

[Ljube]

Yes.

[Ljube]

Yes. If she wasn't running for president, she probably would've been. No ordinary citizen would be able to get away with what she got away with through 'negligence'.

That's reason enough to try to prevent her from getting into the White House. And there is only one way to do it: Vote Trump.

[Santander]

Stupid question since none of us were part of the FBI investigation.

[heatcharger]

Any lawyers or attorneys on Atlas? Any FBI agents? Otherwise don't say Yes just because you don't want her to be president.

[Mike Thick]

Stupid question since none of us were part of the FBI investigation.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Stupid question since none of us were part of the FBI investigation.

[Wiz in Wis]

I'll just defer my vote to them then.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm a not a privy to details of the investigation, so I can't make a judgement.

I guess we should trust the authorities, who made the decision.

[For Trump, everything. For immigrants, the law]

No (not a butthurt Trumpster)

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

I'm not a Republican or a #BernieOrBust moron so my answer is obvious.

[Illiniwek]

This, but...

Seriously? If she wasn't running for president there would never have been an investigation in the first place.

[DINGO Joe]

No, not even close.  Careless isn't against the law (as proven a bazillion times by the Bush administration), you need some kind of intent to do something illegal with the information and there's zilcho of that and the only reason the investigation was so extensive was because she's a Clinton and she's running for President.

Careless isn't against the law, but is disqualifying when running for president.

Because Trump is such a shining example of someone who thinks things through with the utmost care 100% of the time. Lol.

That's like saying that the only way to cure a headache is to cut off your head.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

No.

Bernie Sanders was right. This was just a Fox News scandal.

[Dereich]

Undecided. I went with yes.

From the statement today was very clear that the FBI was sure Hillary was negligent. Gross negligence IS a higher standard, but not so much higher that their decision is understandable on that alone, especially because their own standard would be lower than that since they wouldn't actually be prosecuting the case. If this investigation had gone forward without the scrutiny of the presidential election, I expect they would have recommended indictment and left it to the AG to decide if they could successfully prosecute.

However, I also wouldn't like the idea of the FBI spitting in the face of the democratic process by throwing an indictment out there after the end of the primary voting; that would be an even bigger "fix" than no indictment. So I said yes, but I'm not really satisfied with it. They really should have either waited until the end of the election or rushed it before too much voting had occurred.

I don't believe that Hillary should have been indicted.  I'm not surprised everything turned out as it did.

What I think people should note is that she handled her e-mails like she does so much else; with her first regard being her own sense of self-interest.  When that backfired, there was the hedging, stalling, with a lame apology at the end in the nature of "If I had to do it all over . . ."  If she couldn't see the competence issues involved in this issue, that's on her.  If she could, and allowed her perceived sense of secrecy to trump (no pun intended) doing the correct thing, then that speaks volumes as to her moth-eaten, mold-ridden character.

This is the Presidency we're talking about.  That Hillary got bogged down in this matter, at a minimum, shows that she's not All That, and Then Some.  She's not even All That.  She's an erratic bureaucrat who, if not for her gender, wouldn't seen her FIRST campaign get off the ground.  FBI Director Comey's statement goes to her competence and integrity.  Folks are obliged to be the judge of that.
