Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

I didn’t know the gun was loaded
/I’ll never, never do it again
Intent is not required – that is not ‘for the lawyers’, it is in NO WAY up for debate.
If you mishandle classified material it is a violation of the espionage act – even if it is by mistake. Again, intent is not required.
If someone else mishandles classified material, (i.e., sending it to you via unsecured email), and you do not report it, that is a violation of the espionage act.
Hillary committed both. There is no grey area here, she broke the law. No debate. If she was anyone else, she would never see daylight again.
The FBI needs to resign.
Sorry Shamrock but intent does NOT have to be proven.
She knowingly broke the law knowing she would get away with it.
We are living in Progville where Liberty is dying and the people too stupid to understand.
CRA to me: “Well, OK, you evaded $450,000 in taxes last year but obviously you didn’t mean to. So, no problem, we won’t be taking further action then.”
As if.
Making Up Laws On The Fly Dept:
The frikkin’ prisons are full of felons who didn’t mean to break the law.
Sadly, the so called fair and just Director of the Foney Balony Institution has a price that has been bought. Expect him to suddenly have an accident not unlike some other former Clinton cronies, and disappear without his reward.
All of the above. The fix was when Lynch met Bill.
The corruption is now complete. God save America.
I have FoxNews on and Obama and Hillary just showed up together on stage in Charlotte, NC. 3:30 Charlotte time.
Yeah, right.
Remember the. Shawshanks redemption?
Morgan Freeman said “this place is full of people that didn’t do it”
Same with politicians.
If I were related to any one of the 4 Americans slaughtered in Benghazi … I would now SUE Hillary personally for WRONGFUL DEATH. The FBI has officially determined her GROSS NEGLIGENCE in the handling of secret documents … including the personal travel schedule of her Ambassador to Libya. Her carelessness DIRECTLY led to the murder of 4 Americans … which was moments away from becoming more like 44 (see the film 13 Hours).
TAKE the Clinton’s ill-gotten wealth … and you will CRUSH those bugs like they should be.
Of course it serves a point. It is called enforcing the rule of law. When that is not done, those in power abuse the system to their own advantage. This should not be allowed to happen.
And you are surprised that Billary and Billy are happily destroying the US? Stupid is as stupid does. Mind you,the US was never known for smarts.
“TAKE the Clinton’s ill-gotten wealth”
Can’t be done. Yes, it may be possible to sue Hillary Clinton.
The Clinton Foundation in which that ill-gotten wealth resides, is a separate legal entity.
So culpable homicide just went out the window as did the presumption that a man expects the reasonable and probable consequences of his actions. Defense attorneys are dancing with joy and laughing themselves silly as this has turned the legal system upside down. If I were in prison I would be demanding my csse be retried.
Shamrock disinformation: “More precisely, Comey couldn’t prove in law she meant to commit an illegal act. It was a high legal hurdle from the start folks”
Complete nonsense. Intent is not an essential element of this crime.
If you do not understand the law then do not comment about how the law works.
Otherwise we can only assume some nefarious purpose to your disinformation.
Basically, I think “it’s OVER”, in the US and here.
Nothing short of full scale, armed revolution
could alter the descent.
Sad.
I think your right Rich – thats why the left is busy importing extra fighters for their side.
How about they whoever they is showed comey that it doesn’t matter how the American people vote billery will be president and does he really want her to fire him?
The day the music died. Bye, bye Miss American Pie.
A President Clinton at least require Comey’s resignation because she’ll be a new Democrat precedent, First Woman President, and she’ll be requiring the vacancy to appoint the First Woman FBI director, Huma Abedin.
None of this should come as a surprise. The United States of Socialist America has the best government that greed, graft, and corruption can buy.
A lot of great comments. Someone here pointed to the “Gormley Effect” and how things turned out for the “innocent” Martin and his LPC. Hopefully a similar pattern of unhappy voters will appear for the “innocent” Clinton.
How can ANYONE trust a very lengthy and supposedly extensive investigation to be legitimate when it’s very first interview with the KEY WITNESS is given only 3 DAYS before their findings. 3 1/2 hrs of questioning and NOTHING of what came out of her mouth needed verifying or checking? That seems simply impossible to me.
This stinks to high heaven and I hope all our serf friends in America get mad as hell and rise up against this disgraceful political abuse.
BTW, if you look up the definition of “lesser of two evils” in any modern dictionary, you’ll now find a photo of Donald Trump.
Yes that`s what gets me. Why is anyone surprized. Outraged, indignant, sure, that`s natural when you see a turd being praised as manna from heaven.
Too big to jail. Indeed. That says it perfectly. Great article.
Anybody else getting that “off with their ‘eads” feeling?
Do you think Hillary’s total incompetence matters when she is talking about handing out free tampons?
–Hillary’s Latest Campaign Maneuver: Pushing Free Tampons for Women
Jim Hoft Jun 25th, 2016 9:02 am 214 Comments
Hillary Clinton is struggling to capture the young women’s vote this year. In New Hampshire Bernie Sanders led Clinton 87 to 9 percent with women age 18 to 34.
In her latest move to capture the young female vote Hillary is promoting free tampon programs.–
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/06/hillarys-latest-campaign-maneuver-free-tampons-women/
Well there you go, that proves it. She’s not bad, just incompetent.
Definitely presidential material.
“I bet Lynch met with Bill Clinton the other day so she could give him the good news in person.”
I agree. How else did they know to arrange that Obama would be on stage today with Hillary at a rally in Charlotte, NC.
Go f**k yourself Sean. I’m relaying what was reasonably concluded, you moron. Fools like you ensure kleptocrats like Hillary get elected. How many times do fools like you have to be told there is a different standard for indictments vrs conviction. Go bitch at Comey idiot, he made the call not me.
If it were up to me, Hillary would be in an orange jumpsuit by now.
Comey knew, just like I did. There was never going to be an indictmemt, and he was just playing a role on stage. He did what he could, given the hand he was dealt.
Obama himself said last year “she did nothing wrong”. Anyone who thought anything would come of this is a fool.
Kurt Schlichter is right in his commentary. Justice has become a “moral abortion”, “There is no law. There is no justice. There are only lies.”
Schlichter also talks about what many of us here have maintained and nails it with the following, “The Romans had principles for a while. Then they got tempted to abandon principle for – wait for it – short term political gain. Then they got Caesar. Then the emperors. Then the barbarians. And then the Dark Ages.”
No, fools who go on about intent, which had nothing to do with it at all, are supporting Hillary’s side.
Intent is the whole reason the FBI is allowing her to skate on this, intent has been the fig leaf that Clinton has hidden behind from the start, and the statutes themselves which Clinton violated say intent isn’t necessary.
You, Shamrock, are arguing from Hillary’s position on this.
First sentence of your first comment:
“Comey couldn’t prove in law she meant to commit an illegal act. It was a high legal hurdle from the start folks”
No it was not a hurdle at all, high or otherwise. The statute specifically strikes down any consideration of intent.
That goes without saying. But the real litmus test never was intent (or shouldn’t have been) but gross negligence.
Uh, no, I don’t agree with Comey, at all, and agree he was not precluded by lack of intent, I just see where he’s coming from, so believe it’s foolhardy to go after him with rich prey like Bubba, Obama, and Hillary showing their establishment side.
Don’t shoot the messenger. Watch Bill O’Reilly’s just completed interview with a former FBI director. He agreed with my position that while probably cause of a crime no doubt existed, but the beyond a reasonable doubt standard of criminal conviction did not exist. Yes, they could have gone ahead with indictments on the hope they did find necessary evidence.
Consequence: Hillary has been caught in a web of lies, fully documented, if you’re on Fox News, they’re describing it as we speak. The former director said Comey lit Hillary on fire before he left. He also acknowledged political considerations were on Comey’s mind.
Hillary got pilloried by Comey. Get over it. If new evidence were to emerge, indictments could still proceed. The bottom line is, besides her malevolent nature, this woman is dumb as a post on emails and security. Does she actually think someone has to break into her home to get her emails?
Scorch, scorch, scorch. So everybody’s right and everybody’s wrong.
So yes I think Comey should have indicted Hillary, as does O’Reilly because the issue of her gross negligence (mental defect?) was not properly investigated by the FBI. I also agree with that assessment. Britt Hume is right (“tissue of lies” – good one); Comey calculated how the Obama Justice Dept would handle the file if he simply turned it over or made a criminal referral, it would die on the administrative vine.
Imho, he fell on his sword today with a scorched earth expose of Hillary’s email conduct, “extreme carelessness” with sensitive secrets, and spilled it all over the airwaves, so the Dems can’t bury it. He said before he began he had not spoken to nor consulted anyone prior to his announcement. I happen to believe him. I could be wrong; does that make me a Hillary agent?
To argue this is an unpopular decision is an understatement, especially the FBI. Hillary was hoping for a bump, now she has to sit tight. Comey outed her; leave him alone, go for the fresh kill. It’s go time for the GOP.
Think about it, a referral from the FBI could have been buried for months or even years; if Hillary had won it would have gone away. She still needs to win to avoid imprisonment, imho. Do I think Clinton and her ilk don’t care for and think they’re above the law? They sure do. Her day of mortal reckoning is coming. Given her recklessness, her security clearance should be revoked, Paul Ryan is right.
Anyway, Comey still has the Clinton “Foundation” under investigation. Who knows maybe we’ll see a husband and wife indictment this summer.
Since Hillary’s talk, the Clintons will know too. Make her life a living hell with Congress investigating all summer, demanding full disclosure from the FBI.
Keep your powder dry my friends. Like I’ve said this Dem bunch lies routinely to support their false narratives. Does anybody believe the Dems would have chose to indict Hillary and wouldn’t have buried the case in the basement? Now they have Comey’s words. It’s a good day with more coming.
This is a watershed for America. A bad one. They don’t even hide the criminal conniving anymore since the media Renfields, will hide it with a docile population willing to sunmit to any indignity. Think i’m exaggerating, look at the TSA actions, to Homeland security for sahria law.As well an administration willing to jail people for not believing a global warming myth.This is the day law died in America for all to see. The Age of reason has passed , it did when they made a man a Women of the year. Emotionalism is now replaced by reason. Banning lemonade stands, to calling the police for using the term brownie. Superstition abounds while people scurry for safe places.Yet 54 million American babies have been slaughtered in abortion clinics.When allowing new diseases by no borders, replacing the dead babies. every instrumentality of government now complacent in corruption. From a president born in another Country who arms ISIS while trying to disarm Americans.Makes no bones he’s a Muslim who hates Christianity by banning Abused Christians from immigration, while allowing 100,000’s of Muslim immigrants, their very persecutors in. As for the scandalizing , nothing like this has ever been seen from Gun running to the IRS. Men honoring other soldiers using God than bum rushed out by the military.
You know your witnessing the fall of a civilization. The death of Individual Liberty for a tyranny.
Yes it was , the left is so brazen because it now believes nothing can stop then, no one will step in to end the corruption. They have it locked & as usual with pride they spit in the publics faces . 10 years of TSA humiliation while Muslims run amok has proven there case.Year of Homeland Muslims security has given them sharia law in silence. The media is so compromised its stinks.They have now reached a pint they don’t care about the citizens anymore, they have free hand to do as they please in this one party land now. While Senators & congressmen run their rackets. Politics is now only a free ride to riches on the backs of tax payer as the press plays court jester to these elites.
America s a democracy is dead . As a Republic does not exist anymore.
I would like to see what that would give you if pulled over speeding , i didn’t intend to speed , would get you a jail cell. I remember when ignorance of the law was no defense. The FBI like the EPA, ICE, Homeland security, DOJ IRS & so many other cannot or will not be trusted again. The corruption of America is now so blatant ,its not even a subject anymore its just a fact.Why hide when your just an oligarchy anymore & there is no law except for Citizens, Illegals & special minorities along with politicians & government workers are above any law. Its why they want to ban guns so bad, they are terrified of the public not thugs or terrorists. its there own people they loath & fear. Just like in Canada.Criminals have a free pass, especially political ones.
Big nothing-burger.
“”…but she didn’t mean to.””
YA, she did.
