Should Loretta Lynch recuse herself from the Clinton case?

[dead0man]

Yeah. It's kind of sad that people can't get beyond their party mindset and think in terms of what the proper thing to do is. Frankly, John Aschroft acted appropriately, and Loretta Lynch should follow his lead. That's the kind of America I'd like to live in anyway, fwiw.

So when can we expect you to start a dozen threads demanding the prosecution of Collin Powell and Condoleeza Rice for the same offense?

People are still using this as a defense?  I had thought the official "tale" had moved on to "we knew it was bad (because we're not idiots), there was nothing that had big red "CLASSIFIED" words on it, so it's just a minor, simple, minor, honest, minor mistake".

I'm just waiting for the emails to drop.  It's going to be fun whether she gets indicted or not.  If she doesn't, it will just further prove that the "fix is in".  If she does, good, maybe a little justice will get served.

Well, I'd consider doing so if
     (1) credible evidence existed that Powell and/or Rice acted in similar fashion;
     (2) Powell or Rice were seeking the highest office of the land;

I realize that we all learn the popular "they did it too" defense in elementary school, but I expect more from those in leadership positions. (I know: I'm silly...).

The indictment fairy will never come. Sanders supporters relied on it to save him and now Trump supporters are waiting for it. You might as well give it up, because there is zero chance of any charges based on what plenty of experts have said. Trump won't be President, sorry.

1. Neither of them used their own server located in their own home
2. Neither of them ignored multiple requests from within the State Dept. to use official email
3. The rules were different during their tenures
4. Both of them fully cooperated during the IG investigation

Please... stop pretending that it's the same thing.

Precisely.  Even if/when this is all dismissed as nonsense, her critics will still cry and whine, and continue to not plan to vote for her as before.

So you accuse others of injecting politics into what should be the administration of justice, but you only want Hillary prosecuted because it will tank her political campaign? Hmmm...

[SillyAmerican]

Bill is one of those people who doesn't always make the best decisions, and he proved it again here.

Was he always so boneheaded, or is this something new post-presidency? He seems to have a penchant for stupid PR blunders.

Agreed. I mean back in 1976, the man was elected attorney general of Arkansas, so you can't tell me that he doesn't know better than to do things like this. What was he thinkin'? Strange...

Now she says she'll get out of the way of the FBI.

Excellent. If Ms. Lynch says she will accept the FBI recommendation that comes her way, as is, that would effectively remove the political factor. Given the contents of the IG report, I may have to consider IceSpear's offer of a bet on whether or not she ends up being indicted.

How much are you willing to put up?

I extend this offer to any other Atlasians who would like to get in on the action as well. Let's put our money where our mouths are.

You lost. It's time to get over it.

This has nothing to do with Sanders at all. Stop being so desperate.

Yeah, you're right. It's not only the Sanders supporters having the wet dreams, it's also the Trump supporters. lol

But I'll repeat myself: You lost. It's time to get over it. If you really think I'm "desperate", then feel free to join the bet and make some money at my expense.

You're desperate for an excuse to keep whining about Sanders.  It's pretty funny how it seems to be taking Atlas Hillary supporters longer to move on (despite Hillary winning the nomination and Sanders no longer being a candidate) than it took most Sanders supporters.

Actually, he's technically still a candidate as he hasn't suspended his campaign.

And I don't see how pointing out the fact that the people peddling the indictment fantasy are disproportionately Sandernistas (as well as Trumpets) is "whining" about him.

Pretty sure the vast-majority of Sanders supporters don't think Hillary will or even should be indicted.

Fair enough, you do have the nutters on reddit I suppose.

Nobody took my bet.

I could've been rich...
