She should be Nifong'ed as the racist activist she is.

Michael Byron "Mike" Nifong is a former North Carolina attorney. He was the district attorney for Durham County, North Carolina but was removed, disbarred and jailed following court findings concerning his conduct in the Duke lacrosse case. Wikipedia

Agreed. She over charged and is now paying the price for it. She was probably using this as a stepping stone for another political position but at this point that's probably not going to happen. This has to be embarrassing for her.

How is she paying the price?  I agree with Gimp. She needs to be disbarred at a minimum.

To be precise, she's 0-3-1 right now, with one hung jury.  The other three defendants sensibly dispensed with 12 people who couldn't get out of jury duty.

She hasn't gotten a single conviction yet. I'm not disagreeing with the disbarment, either. She went out of her way to charge cops in attempt to create social justice and didn't look at the facts or even take it to a grand jury.

Or, overcharged to instantly appease the people knowing the charges wouldn't stand up in the end?

on one hand, a prosecutor who overcharges local cops and can't get a conviction

on the other hand, a prosecutor who won't charge a corrupt POS who clearly lied under oath about mishandling classified material.

Actually, no.

Only one trial was before a jury, which hung.  The rest were bench trials decided by a judge.

And the evidence presented by Comey belies his conclusion.

You guys are pushing for a disbarment for an attorney who was already pushing a rock uphill and have the nerve to call her racist...smh, when some of the cops she's prosecuting are of her own race.

You do realize that the bar is indeed high for convicting a cop!  There are published stats on the conviction rate of police.  For example:

Quote
The rate of LEOs charged with murder is 1.06% higher than the current general population murder rate...If complaints involving fatalities were prosecuted as murder the murder rate for Law Enforcement would exceed the general population murder rate by 472%.

Explain

No real time for it now.  In summary, I believe she has shown herself to be racist.  Because of that, she brought charges that cannot be proven.  She brought them because of her personal conviction that the officers did wrong but her beliefs are clouded by her personal issues.

She is having trouble proving the charges because the charges should have never been brought.  But she didn't know that, her judgment is flawed because of her personal beliefs.

That is all predicated on the idea that she is racist, which I don't have time to address now.  I am also doubtful that you would ever open your mind enough to consider the idea of it.

being guilty is not the same as being convicted (except to lawyers who think of "guilt" only in the context of the legal system)

The time you spent writing that could have been used to explain why she's racist.  I didn't ask the question to put you on the spot, but to genuinely attempt to understand your POV.  But since you don't want to go there...

"I heard your call for 'no justice, no peace.'"

"To the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf.  This is a moment. This is your moment."

"You're at the forefront of this cause, and as young people, our time is now."

Mosby was playing to the mob, and figuratively opened the jail doors for a lynching. She needed scalps, and so she over charged them, regardless of whether that was reasonable or equitable.

In my opinion, she wanted her 15 minutes of fame, even if it meant that she would ruin 6 cops' lives.

Not only that, but someone with far more serious charges (Petraeus) was convicted and given a metaphorical slap on the wrist.  All of this vitriol over the E-mail controversy is politics, pure and simple.  They need something with which to hang Hillary since no one cares about Benghazi anymore.

That is almost as blindly ignorant of the facts as your claims abut local weather and mmgw. Having sensitive and secret information housed on a private server with nearly ZERO security, and then lying about that while DESTROYING over 30,000 emails while claiming they had nothing of government interest on them is a felony - actually a bunch of felonies - and your only objection to this is due to the letter after her name.

And I have seen people with far less serious offenses - exposing one TS message to an underclassified crewmember (who only had secret clearance) get 3 months confinement and half pay, which is not even close to a metaphorical slap on the wrist. And the crew member was on the distribution routing list.

Hillary's non convictioon does not come as a surprise to those of us who expect unethical behavior.  It CONFIRMS that our expectations of them being unethical is correct.

This single thing has slanted me toward Trump, I wonder how many others are the same. And I hate Trump. But I cannot vote for somone who is unethical and a crook.

Climate change affects local weather. Get over it.

Having sensitive and secret information housed on a private server with nearly ZERO security,

Government servers are horrible.  Whether or not the one she used was worse is debatable.

and then lying about that

Lying to a court is a felony.  Lying on television is politics.

while DESTROYING over 30,000 emails while claiming they had nothing of government interest on them is a felony -

I was under the impression, having read it in a couple new outlets, that Clinton's lawyers actually did the deleting.  You may of course correct me if I am incorrect on this point.
