FBI Director Comey dropped his basket when it comes to his

Let's not put too much weight down on anyone's "reputation" because it has happened many times throughout history that people with sterling reputations do bad things (and people with bad reputations do good things).

Before Congress today, Comey continually referred to "criminal intent" - and his decision, which was HIS ALONE, that Clinton lacked "criminal intent." 

You need to understand that intent is absolutely not required to violate federal statutes with respect to the handling of classified materials, but even if intent were an element of the crime, intent is rarely proven directly in criminal cases of any sort, for the simple reason that you cannot prove by direct evidence what the criminal "intended" in their minds. ''

Intent is almost always INFERRED by such things as:

1.  An ongoing pattern of behavior.

2.  What any reasonable person should know would be wrong.

3.  Efforts to conceal evidence.

On ALL OF THESE POINTS, intent CAN be found in the case of the slimeball Hillary Clinton.

More striking:

1.  Comey was not present during Clinton's interview.  I can tell you I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!

2.  Clinton was NOT asked to explain her lies before the Benghazi committee with respect to her emails.

3.  Clinton is "excused' because of her "unsophistication" with regard to email systems.

4.  There is no record of Clinton's participation in mandated security briefings with respect to the handling of classified information.

It's enough to gag a maggot off a meat wagon.
