I missed his use of it since I skim over replies to Flaggy.

No, because they are guided by the Holy Spirit which is inerrant.
Mother Church has been working this stuff since 400 AD. You may not like the answer, but trust me they have an answer for everything.

It sounded more to me like Director Comey said "even though technically her actions could be considered 'criminal' there is no point in referring the case to the DOJ because 'no reasonable prosecutor [in the Obama administration]' ever would press charges."
He also said that "people who acted that way would face administrative sanctions" which is a code word for saying "were she still Secretary of State then she'd be in deep trouble, but since she is no longer Secretary of State then she's off the hook."

On the other hand, if you are extremely careless and do cause a wreck, would any judge and jury accept as a defense, "well, I did not intend to cause a wreck by my carelessness." ??
For what it's worth, I do think Comey made the right play here. I agree with him entirely, there was absolutely no point in recommending a referral to the DOJ.
Given how many laws and regulations say that you are guilty even if you are not even aware that a law exists, there seems to be some disparity here in how other people are treated. If "lack of intent" is an acceptable defense here, then it also should be an acceptable defense in many other areas too, yet it is not.

If Fishy and Flaggy aren't in a relationship already, they need to be.
Republicans have to be the stupidest people on God's green Earth. They can't even run a kangaroo court properly. Have you ever seen people get made to look like idiots more often in their own hearings?
This reminds me of the Trey Gowdy debacle. If I'm setting any of these inquisitions up, I have a couple of bomb throwing there to stoke conspiracy theories, but I also have a couple of level headed polite moderates to ask tough but fair questions and give the proceedings an air of respectability. Something the "both sides do it" crowd can latch onto in the media. Instead people like Howdy Doody Gowdy and now this Chaffetz moron stack the panel with lunatics, then wonder why it blows up in their faces.
One guy (Mica) is insinuating Comey coordinated his press conference with Obama's campaign appearance with Clinton. Comey rightfully asked him to look him in the eye and say he didn't think the FBI director was corrupt. Mica ended his questioning and scurried away. Pathetic.

It's true. If you're going to mount a show trial at least get the right verdict.

So....who couldn't have seen from outer space that this hearing was going to be a disaster? You have marginally functional knuckledraggers on House committee trying to accuse a lifelong GOP law enforcement official of engaging in a conspiracy to defend Hillary Clinton? Ooookaaayyyyy. Nobody could have expected anything over the top to be said out of that crew...

Re: The Power of SCOTUS VIII redux: IX is being blocked by the Senate.
Chaffetz who I think heads the committee tripped up Comey on a question he had. It appears to me that the Republicans had put all their eggs in this indictment basket. Chaffetz argument was that Hillary Clinton KNEW there was classified information on the server and knowingly provided access to that information to people without security clearance. In a bubble that's a pretty good argument. But, given the classified emails that were found were so small and none of them were labeled classified in the header I don't know how he can make that leap.
Chaffetz went all in though and got Comey stuttering around and that's going to be an embarrassment to him in the long run.
And when Hillary gets elected President they're going to use the fact that she couldn't get security clearance in any government agency as a private citizen applying for a government job and/or contract as a spear her entire Presidency. They will treat her as illegitimate as they have Obama for his entire 2 terms.

In the Republican mind, no president with a (D) after their name is legitimate. That's Saint Ronnie's house, you get out of there you dirty rotten commie! What? Mommy, they said Saint Ronnie's dead?! WAHHHHHHH!!!!!
And Mommy (the Echo Chamber) coos, "don't you worry, Saint Ronnie's not dead. That's just another liberal lie like climate change or evolution or cigarettes causing cancer. Here, have a pack of Marlboros and toddle off to bed now."

And if they do that Scooby they will fall even further behind. They are so irrelevant they had 20 people run for the POTUS and the only candidate with traction was Donald *** Drumpf. If they spend 8 years going after Hillary like they did Obama they will put up Romney Electoral numbers for the next 20 years.
Even the dumbest of the dumb dont fall for "WOLF!!!!" until the end...sooner or later they get bored.

Re: The Power of SCOTUS VIII redux: IX is being blocked by the Senate.
Well, I'd like to believe they'd learn but today's hearing proves otherwise.
They're already declassifying her.
And this is Paul Ryan. The guy every Republican thinks is sane.

Which would matter if anybody outside of Beltway pundits and supposed liberals with a Scott Walker obsession took the House GOP seriously. Suffice to day, nobody else does.
GOP looks like idiots. Paul Ryan surprisingly got asked if he thinks Trump should keep security clearance and with a straight face had to answer yes. A smarter politician never would have put himself in that position.

They're idiots with a majority. People voted for them. Hell, people voted for Ryan on a Presidential ticket. There are PLENTY of people that take them seriously.

Re: The Power of SCOTUS VIII redux: IX is being blocked by the Senate.
And they're dying off by the day. After Hillary crushes Trump, Dems would won 5 out of 7 and outvoted Goopers in 6 out of 7 which hasn't happened EVER. Even FDR-Truman only rattled off 5 out of 7 (but 5 for 5 for those two). For the Senate from 2007-2019 given the inevitable Dem takeover Dems would have held Senate for 10 out of 12 years. The GOP's saving grace is mid-term elections where old white people make up a disproportionate amount of the electorate. That can't hold much longer.

Re: The Power of SCOTUS VIII redux: IX is being blocked by the Senate.
Yeah, it can't hold.
I've had 16 years of **** because of Bush and the inability of Obama being able to do what he needed to do. All they need is their Gerrmandered House to hold and it will continue another 8 years under Clinton. By then I'll be so close to retirement it won't matter anymore.
Watching that hearing today and the Benghazi hearing has been very eye opening.
