History tells us there is only one way this changes.

When it changes, history tells us the bright, shining period of freedom only lasts for 100 or 200 years.

Bullshit.

This kind of stuff was happening five minutes after the ink was dry on the constitution. It just that now, we actually here about it, because of media saturation.

I was sincerely hoping someone would ask Comey, under oath, if he was under duress when he made the "No reasonable prosecutor...." comments/decision. I would have loved to see that.

So, has anyone noticed that the State dept has opened an investigation into Clinton now? What the hell is that about? It seems pretty clear she's not going down for this, so why bother?

Political theater to quiet us rowdy "rule of law" types. If they stretch it out long enough, we'll become outraged by the next scandal and forget this one. Played right, they'll always keep us under our boiling point and we'll never do anything about it.

So at some favorable point in the news cycle before the election they can issue an exoneration of the former SecState

Mises.org: Abolish the FBI - RTWT

This whole thing really rankles with me because I have a friend who spent time in jail because the judge herself said something along the lines of "there was clearly no malicious intent here, no intent to violate the law, but..." and that was that. That opinion only meant he got a comparatively light sentence. You or I step afoul of the law, and The Law Is The Law. But to use Hillary's own words, some people are just too big to jail.

And, if that were true, its when you end up w. star chambers, and death squads, and the mix of insanity and outright courage that has been Italy's fight against the mafia over the last 30 years, or so...

What we have, is a pervasive rot, and the need to flush the damn toilet that is DC - none of those POS are actually that powerful.

A different political faction wants some leverage, so they start another investigation, which will be quietly dropped after she has a closed door meeting. Considering it's coming from state, my guess is its the old money, new England wing of the dnc, of which, the state department is their playground.
