It's not *that* shocking.  It's true that some prosecutors have been known to proceed in the absence of evidence of a crime, but it is usually considered better form to refrain from that.

Speaking of which, they could not have baited right-wing conspiracy theorists any better than they did with how things unfolded in the past few days.  Thanks Obama-- my Facebook feed is already getting interesting.

Comey mentioned evidence though, didn't he?  Apparently he just couldn't find intent.  And I didn't know you had to have intent in order to be criminally negligent.

Criminal negligence is when someone displays "wanton or reckless disregard for the lives of safety of others".

It simply doesn't apply in this case.

Evidence of intent is typically required in a criminal case, yes.

Legbiter, im glad that you were able to get joy out of the euros, because your boy is going to get creamed in november.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

When do the congressional hearings start? We should be able to milk at least half as many as Benghazi, right?

Maybe I was a little clumsy with the term I used.  I just thought negligence was enough to be in violation of the statute.
