Amazing news coming out of the State Department. Looks like current leadership is not happy with Comey's description of the State Department as having a culture of incompetence and ineptitude.
I'm with John Pilger on this. It's the wars stupid! There are so many reasons not to support Hillary but more wars is a major reason.
I am getting the live-streaming House hearing on "The Honorable" James Comey's non-explanation of why Hillary Clinton slithered out of yet another vast, right-wing conspiracy witch hunt concerning her emails. I left in disgust after a few minutes of Elijah Cummings comparing David Petraeus' slap on the wrist with Hillary's nothing burger (according to apologizer-in-chief) Cummings.

A most excellent comment, in fact, from our very own Bulldawg, in which the critical two points were made:
8 instances of Top Secret information on her servers is pretty damning...Clearances would be stripped, and the person would never hold one again.
So it wasn't the indictment we wanted; the indictment where Hillary gets led off wearing an orange pantsuit and handcuffs, but, it was an 'indictment' nevertheless. Nowhere did Comey say 'nothing to see here, move along'. Comey made the incompetence, the lying, the arrogance, and the corruption real and on record. No longer will Hillary be able to hide behind her lies. Her word against Comey's - give me a break.
Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, both of the Green Party, have this to add to my last diary:

stuff like this here:
The year-long investigation is expected to conclude in the coming weeks, though it could take longer, leaving open the probability it will cast a shadow over Clinton as she accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in Philadelphia this month and launches her general election campaign against Republican Donald Trump.
Take a look at this bit of innovative democracy:
With a little less than a month remaining until the start of the Democratic National Convention, a coalition of individuals and several groups has launched an effort to stop Hillary Clinton from winning the party’s nomination. Their goal: allowing pledged delegates at the convention to vote freely for the nominee and not be bound to to the former First Lady.
Over at TOP they're taking pot shots at Bernie because of an interview he did today with Andrea Mitchell. They called him "Delusional", "Sore loser", "Mean SOB", and that was just in the first 75 words.
The backing piece is no better. Chris Cillizza wrote the most dunderheaded assessment I've read in a while.
