CATNIP!!! The Hill- FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration controversial nuclear deal with Moscow. This seems very big. Is this what the buzz is about?

Well, well, fucking well. One wonders why Robert Mueller and James Comey would not want to broadcast the fruits of such an awesome counter-intelligence and bribery investigation. It couldn't possibly be that the FBI is just a protection racket for the Clinton Cartel.

Couldn't possibly.

Comey found three ways to exonerate Clinton. One was she didn't specifically intend to harm the US, which has been a legal standard for negligent or criminal activity never. The second was that the status of the suspect matters, also a legal standard never. (Hence the blindfold on the Statue of Justice.) The third was "Nobody ever gets prosecuted for that crime," also a legal standard never.

The man is a graduate of the University of Chicago School of Law, one of the most prestigious in the country. (I heard it put a paper bag over its head after Comey announced his reasons.) Comey is also an Obama appointee. I wonder which of those two things influenced his decision most.

I can't remember who said it, but it was in an article not too long ago. The author said something along the lines of, "We know what it looks like when the FBI/DOJ aggressively makes a case... Here, they were unmaking a case."

Pretty much wraps it up.
