The day after FBI Director James Comey announced that his department would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch announced that the State Department would comply with the recommendation and not indict the former secretary of state.
When news broke that Clinton would escape charges, conservatives around the country attacked the decision, claiming that Clinton had received preferential treatment from her friends at the FBI and State Department.
Now that some time has passed, however, many on the right are coming to the same conclusion. Maybe the refusal to indict Hillary isn’t so bad after all. In fact, it may be a detriment to the entire Democrat party.
The announcement plays into the right’s narrative that government is corrupted by elites who run with authorities that are above the law. It also allows Hillary Clinton to coast through the nomination process with few roadblocks.
Hillary may have won her party’s vote, but she’s far from their best candidate. She emerged with unfavorable ratings higher than any Democrat that’s ever come before her. Even far-left Socialist Bernie Sanders polls better against Donald Trump than Mrs. Clinton.
Even principled conservative Allen B. West seems to agree, Hillary Clinton’s escape might be good for the Republican party. See how he makes that argument on the next page:
Bryan Smith ,the godfather meets goodfellas.
he has a point…..obama would have stalled a conviction or even worse…pardoned her
Mr Comey gas ties to White Water.
Let’s see the five million emails Bush deleted.
All eyes should be focused on the Clinton Foundation. That’s where the money leads. There are a lot of dirty senior level politicians that don’t want that box opened.
Time to clean house on all of them.
The FBI now has only a 1 star rating! It was 3.9 a few days ago! Check out the great comments!

Comey made the right call. Too many people have died or careers/lives ruined trying to stop the clintons. Allowing the American people to see first hand that they can’t stop her and be found guilty in public opinion is way better given the current election. Otherwise she is tried gets off and it is “see it was a witch hunt” and has ammo for the campaign trail and future indevors
Yes Comey is bringing it all out.
He says she’s not actually qualified especially if she DOES NOT know what (c) means. He also said her brain was not qualified. Wow.
