With the Obama endorsement the Hillary4Prison ship has sailed.  Even if the investigation did lead to a recommendation for indictment there's no way it'd make it through.

There have been threats from within the FBI that if she is not indicted they'll go public with the relevant information, which could torpedo her campaign.

Claims of it, at least. The sources always seem to be anonymous. I mean, that's kinda' understandable considering if they weren't said people would be fired instantly and probably in jail, but still.

That said, if it actually happens I'll be impressed. It'd be almost admirable to actually see someone sacrificing their job and some number of years in prison for what they see as justice. E: Well, or however large the bribe ended up being. That'd be less admirable, but significantly more likely :V

Talk is cheap.  It's extra cheap if you find rubes who will never hold you to your word.  Four years in and people are still waiting with bated breath for the big evidence.

Man, just saying, but if I were a FBI official intending to commit suicide, that's exactly how I'd actually do it. If you're going to go out, you might as well go out screwing with people.

Let's be real here. The predominant reason for hatred of gay people is religion, all other reasons are disorganized and incoherent. He killed these people in the name of Islam, and we have to recognize that for what it is.

This is the face of a believer who chooses not to compartmentalize, and if you come around pronouncing how "it's not Islam, it's hate" then you're missing the point. It is the interconnection of religion and moral indignation that allowed the shooter to commit to this action.

Just, fuck. Welcome to Current Year, I guess.

So wait, are you calling me a homophobe? Because I'm definitely Catholic... Funny, you should tell the guys I've made out with. I'd wager they'd be surprised :V

"Most people that hates gay hates it because of religion" does not imply "most religious people hates gay". Come on, you're a mathematician for fuck's sack.

It was inevitable.

A gunman carrying a handgun and an assault-style weapon opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., early Sunday, killing at least 50 people and wounding at least 53 others.

It is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

It is literally an official teaching of the RCC that living a normal life as a homosexual is evil. You can dress it up as "everyone sins" and "you just don't have to act on it", but that is plainly bullshit. Maybe you're a homophobe, and maybe you're not, but Catholicism is, and people who treat it as more than a vague societal framework but an actual description of the universe would be happy to have never had to deal with "the LGBTs".
