Someone talk some sense into me because I am feeling like I'm going to vote for Sanders afterall.
No no no no no, he was not dodging his responsibility. This conspiracy crap is what both sides are falling for. That one person, while having a final say, is not the totality of all the investigators. To assume he is part of a conspiracy is absurd, considering he was a originally a Bush appointee then appointed by Obama and confirmed by the GOP. But again, you are assuming he alone did all the investigating and that is not how the FBI works, nor was he the only agent in on the investigation.
There were THOUSANDS of agents involved, as well as the State Department. This is as paranoid as when people say Bush had a hand in 9/11.
I found nothing inconsistent in his testimony nor contradictory. The part everyone keeps missing in all this is that those e-mails were also handled by no names non famous employees who ALSO did not get charged. And he brought up other cases where people DID. He was not playing favorites. The GOP is simply shitting it's pants once again over a decision that didn't go their way.
Wtf. Dude you're not fucking listening. She got off on a technicality. It was a unanimous decision among the the team on her case to let her off because they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she knew she was breaking the law. I'm not faulting him. I am saying she's a lot worse than I realized. She actually did do all the things she's been claiming not to have done. I just...I already didn't like her for president because her voting doesn't match with my political views. I never even payed attention to this stuff because I just didn't care. But wtf. I'm going to need to up my anxiety meds over this fucking election. Maybe Clinton and Trump will develop sudden onset Alzheimer's and withdraw from the race.
