It looks like Hillary Clinton’s email troubles aren’t going away.

In hindsight, it’s hilarious to see how many liberals thought that former FBI director James Comey was in cahoots with Donald Trump because the FBI was investigating Clinton’s private email server. But I think we can safely say that Comey exercised his discretion in letting her off the hook.

After all, remember what Comey said when declaring that she was innocent. It sounded like he was going to recommend charges – before he didn’t. Comey confirmed that Hillary lied about never having sent classified information, that she lied about having had provided the FBI with all her emails, and that she lied about numerous other things.

Comey’s defense is that “intent” was the key factor here. Sure, Hillary broke the law, but it’s the intent that matters!

Never before has “intent” mattered so much. He surely must realize that there are punishments given in many legal cases even without intent – such as the charge of “involuntary manslaughter.” That’s a bit of an extreme example, but there have been similar cases to Hillary’s involving classified information where “intent” was never part of the equation.

Plus, as the National Review’s Andrew McCarthy noted, Hillary could’ve been charged with gross negligence.

Subsection (f) of the pertinent statute (the Espionage Act, codified at Section 793 of Title 18, U.S. Code) makes it a felony to mishandle classified information “through gross negligence” — i.e., proving Clinton was sloppy or careless (or “extremely careless,” to use Comey’s own description) could have been sufficient. But beyond that, Clinton willfully set up a private network for the systematic handling of her State Department-related communications, in violation of federal record-keeping requirements of which she was well aware, and under circumstances in which she (a former senator who served for years on the intelligence Armed Services committee) was a sophisticated longtime consumer of classified information.

While it’s a bummer that we never got to “lock her up,” we at least will never have to utter the words “President Hillary Clinton.” Now that the FBI investigation is long behind us, Hillary’s emails are being made public…. and that could change things. New documents related to the investigation are raising questions about the entire FBI investigation into Clinton’s email practices, none of which are good.

The FBI released a trove of previously-unseen documents relating to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified material on Wednesday, highlighting the bureau’s “flawed” approach to the probe that was hindered by a “lack of cooperation” from the failed democratic nominee. According to Fox News, the materials were released under the name “Grand Jury Material,” implying the documents would be used in a trial had former FBI director James Comey decided to charge Clinton with a crime. Judicial Watch, a government watchdog agency, secured the release of the controversial records. In one previously redacted document, Clinton’s attorney agrees to provide the FBI with Hillary’s Apple iPads and BlackBerry cellular phones. When some of the devices arrived at the bureau, the SIM cards had been removed as well as the digital hard drives; others simply never arrived or were previously destroyed. “We are presuming there are still 13 devices at issue,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Fox News. “The new records show how badly the Obama Justice Department and FBI mishandled the Clinton email investigation.” In all, there remains nearly 200 redactions in the 42 pages released by the FBI. “The Trump Justice Department needs to audit this mess and figure out if the Clinton matters need to be reopened or reinvigorated,” he added.

Why shouldn’t Trump investigate further? There’s one campaign promise I think we’d all particularly love to see the president follow through on:

But seriously, read that again. This part blows me away: “In one previously redacted document, Clinton’s attorney agrees to provide the FBI with Hillary’s Apple iPads and BlackBerry cellular phones. When some of the devices arrived at the bureau, the SIM cards had been removed as well as the digital hard drives; others simply never arrived or were previously destroyed.”

Hillary’s team deliberately gave the FBI incomplete information and deliberately interfered in the investigation. “Obstruction of justice,” anyone? I know that’s a hot word among Democrats these days. Why won’t they apply it to Hillary in this case?

Oh wait, we already know the answer.

Share this story to show others that Hillary obstructed justice and still deserves to go to jail!
