You realize that decision, following THAT statement of facts, would scream for a professional journalist to be outraged, right?
— Jim (@Ifitsthisname) July 5, 2016
But Sally Kohn is no ordinary professional journalist.
When FBI director James Comey announced that his agency wouldn’t be recommending criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, that was pretty much all the proof Sally needed to know that this whole email scandal was just a big ol’ nothingburger:
Hey, now that the FBI has decided not to file any charges against Hillary, right wing will stop crowing about it, right??!?!?!?
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 5, 2016
It always comes back to that nefarious “right wing,” doesn’t it?

Evidently.
He still said she violated the law, and she still repeatedly lied about the facts Comey just outlined, Sally.
— NeoN: Automataster (@neontaster) July 5, 2016
He also stated #HillaryClinton was a liar, incompetent & endangered America. Gonna mention that or nah?https://t.co/ExzPEiIvxY
— BonkPolitics (@BonkPolitics) July 5, 2016
We’re gonna go with “nah.” If it doesn’t push Sally’s narrative, she’s not interested. That’s probably why she’s not “crowing” about Hillary’s — gasp! — white privilege.
White privilege. Straight up. @sallykohn

What's wrong? Suddenly you can't see the #WhitePrivilege anymore?
— That's LIEUTENANT COMMANDER Crapplefratz! (@Crapplefratz) July 5, 2016
why aren't you bitching about Hillary's white privilege? Cause you're corrupt as she is and only do it when it fits your agenda
— Bobby T (@rcthompson01) July 5, 2016
If Sally wants to be taken seriously, she’s gonna have to do a lot better than this.
I have generally supported Clinton during this, but after hearing Comey, I’m shocked (& upset) she isn’t going to be charged…

Well, if you are happy that Hillary was proven to have lied, om national TV, be happy. Clintons above the law.
— Christa Cooper (@MissMarple2) July 5, 2016
How in the world do Comey's remarks this morning make you satisfied with Hillary Clinton as your potential president?
— Karen (@sfkarenmac) July 5, 2016
shouldn't it be crowed about? Comey just said Hillary should have known better. And she lied about sending classified info.
— Jeff Martinez, Jr. (@jeffmrtnez) July 5, 2016
Do we have your permission to "crow" about Comey confirming everything we've been saying she did, you fatuous hack?
— Lucky Eat-Anter (@LuckyEatAnter) July 5, 2016
Literally everything Hillary said she didn't do, she did, as explained by Comey. That you are crowing about this says it all.

You're right. She just committed perjury and has horrible judgement. Nothing to crow about here.

I see you don't give a shit about corruption in the federal government. No we won't shut up.
— takashi I hate everything yamamoto (@drunkenalpaca) July 5, 2016
The fact that Sally is way more pissed with the “right wing” than she is with Hillary’s blatant corruption speaks volumes.
Your lack of objective integrity is spectacular.

partisan hack

I'm glad you are ok with breaking the law as long as it's your side doing it.

This is further proof that @sallykohn will defend the liberals no matter how reckless they are.

Guess Sally wasn’t finished yet:

(Note: It was the FBI who decided not to recommend criminal charges.)
Uh, actually FBI not prosecuting *literally* means there wasn't evidence of illegal wrongdoing!!!! https://t.co/bsNYrGPk3i

Comey: "She's guilty but we aren't prosecuting." Not exactly a ringing vindication, is it?
— Tim Hurley (@ProudOvoid) July 5, 2016
There is *literally* no evidence that Sally Kohn knows what the heck she’s talking about.

Update:
She’s still not catching on:
America! Where you're innocent until proven guilty unless you're not prosecuted in which case you're definitely guilty, eh?
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 5, 2016
Oh.
Glad to see you’ve changed your mind on the civil use of the terror watch list. https://t.co/aOe74PjAMt
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) July 5, 2016
Heh.
It's as if she doesn't even think about people going through her TL RTing every time she did just this very thing. https://t.co/E4PWoXoXYN

Better step back, Sally. Before you hurt yourself.
