Radio Talkers React To FBI Clinton Decision

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that FBI Director James Comey’s press conference on Hillary Clinton’s secret email server is proof that America’s institutions are “crumbling right before our very eyes.”

Mr. Comey said that “no reasonable prosecutor” would seek charges against the former secretary of state, despite calling her “extremely careless” with the nation’s most important intelligence documents. Mr. Limbaugh said it was understandable to be depressed, but that Republicans must make a public “prosecution” to defeat her presidential campaign.

“If you want to be depressed, look, I understand it,” the conservative said. ” The thing to be really disappointed about is the sad reality that just one institution after another that we used to be able to count on, that we thought was reliable, they all seem to be crumbling right before our very eyes. He lays out all the violations. He lays out all the irregularities. He lays out all the problems, and there are a lot of people in jail for doing exactly what he’s exonerated Hillary Clinton for today.”

Mark Levin

Radio host Mark Levin slammed the FBI on Tuesday for not recommending the Justice Department take up what he said would have been an easy case against Hillary Clinton, according to the Washington Examiner.

"They found several thousand emails that were not disclosed to the FBI," Levin said on LevinTV Tuesday night. "You know what I call that? A cover up. She intended to cover up, she intended to unravel the security system that was put into place. It's worse than gross negligence. This is a slam dunk prosecution. This is a slam dunk case."

While it is not standard for the FBI to make a recommendation to federal prosecutors, FBI Director James Comey's statement earlier on Tuesday decreases the chances Attorney General Loretta Lynch will pursue charges against Clinton.

But the nationally syndicated talk host was adamant that in light of the actions the former secretary of state took to circumvent the law, the case would be an easy win for the Obama administration.

SO? NOW WE KNOW FOR SURE SHE'S ABOVE THE LAW. WHO WILL TAKE HER ON? NOT THE FBI. SO WHO?... https://t.co/CkPjJlPOQM
