From the post IMMEDIATELY preceding that one -

"When you produce evidence of voter fraud by Democrats, I will express the same sentiment of it being outrageous and worthy of investigation and charges brought, if warranted."

Seriously, Dog. I have been clear I am not defending Democrats who engage in voter fraud. That they do it is not in dispute, though you suggest otherwise. They should be treated the same as anyone else. Investigate and prosecute, if warranted.

I cannot be any more clear than that.

How about you? Can you say the same?

I don't know how many times this has been rehashed, but if it were prosecutable, it would have been. But unfortunately, the FBI did not see a level of criminal behavior that would bring about a conviction, and you should be good with that response, but here we are again.

Here is the director's conclusion. I hope this settles the matter once and for all.

"In our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are appropriate based on evidence the FBI has helped collect. Although we don’t normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors about what resolution may be appropriate, given the evidence. In this case, given the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order.

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of the investigation—including people in government—but none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter, and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this organization."

What you did was imply that I was being hypocritical when I didn't comment on Republican caught committing voter fraud. (Which, btw I didn't even see until you flagged me on it) That's a bullshit move BD.

The same FBI that falsified an email to mislead the court into issuing a warrant to spy on a presidential campaign. The same FBI that concocted a false cover story to circulate in advance of what they knew was a true story of Hunter's laptop. What is the FBI doing making charging decisions anyway?

Give me a fucking break. You just don't like that this topic involves your team.

So, here is your chance to set the record straight regarding Republicans who commit voter fraud.

And, for the record, this is not the FIRST Republican caught committing voter fraud. Just the Latest. There have been a bunch. I don't recall you taking a stance and decrying their actions.

When this is over, you will have to disappear out of shame. It would help if you took some time to craft a Dog 3.0 avatar, that way, you can bounce back sooner.

Mr Pelosi attacked

How would the proposed Groan be valued relative to a Downvote when calculating the poster's Reaction Score? Excellent question, Marty. I have no idea. I rather think those scores are silly anyway. So my FGQ* is at zero. (*Fucks Given Quotient)

They didn't make a charging decision; they merely offered their suggestion which, as a law enforcement agency, they are entitled to do. They also made it abundantly clear that the Department of Justice makes its own decisions and does not have to accept charging rhetoric from any other agency in government.
