Letter: Americans slapped in the face by decision not to prosecute Clinton

How convenient. This nation’s top three law officers excused a presidential candidate from breaking the law and continually lying about it. Their actions in the preceding weeks give the appearance of coordinating efforts to that effect. Whether factual or not isn’t the point. The point is Americans once again were slapped in the face by this arrogant, cavalier administration by elevating themselves above the law.

It’s a very sad day for American justice and politics that now ignorance of the law is no excuse unless you are Hillary Clinton. Hillary was briefed on State Department policies, practices and security when she took the oath of office, so she absolutely knew her private servers and email accounts for state business were not legal. To subject America’s security to enemy hackers is more than careless, it’s equivalent to the acts of Eric Snowden.

Hillary Clinton is involved in more than 20 years of scandals and lies. An example would be the secret foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. Who would possibly vote for a person of such moral turpitude?
