It's over. Better luck next time.

Lots to feel good about and be proud of, Bob.

"From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent."

"While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified e-mail systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information found elsewhere in the government."

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

"For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation."

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

So, even though there's evidence, we're being asked to believe that "no reasonable prosecutor" would pursue it? Right.

Comey I guess is saying that either Hillary is not a reasonable person, or she's too f'ing stupid to know that she was mishandling classified info.

So, what's next? If I'm a politician, I'm setting up my own personal email server today. I'll send all my email through it, so I can say that there was no specific intent if any classified emails happen to pass through that server. After all, no "reasonable prosecutor" would pursue a case against me.

Hell, if I were a Dem, I'd be so proud that this is my party's nominee for President.
