@sallykohn
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?
@sallykohn that's your takeaway?
What are your priorities as a pundit? To champion your candidate no matter what?
— The Perfect Man (@beanosimmons) July 5, 2016
Evidently.
@sallykohn He still said she violated the law, and she still repeatedly lied about the facts Comey just outlined, Sally.
— neontaster (@neontaster) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn He also stated #HillaryClinton was a liar, incompetent & endangered America. Gonna mention that or nah?https://t.co/ExzPEiIvxY
— None Of The Above (@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
— Beef Supreme (@Supreme____Beef) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn What's wrong? Suddenly you can't see the #WhitePrivilege anymore?
— Collin O'Scopy (@Crapplefratz) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn 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.
@sallykohn I have generally supported Clinton during this, but after hearing Comey, I’m shocked (& upset) she isn’t going to be charged…
— Ryan Duff (@flyryan) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn I actually have a lot of respect for you as a person, but how can you seriously say that this is just right wing rage? She lied..
— Jackie From Allstate (@AllstateJackie) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn I want to like you. I do. But you can't be serious, pretending that what she did was totally fine.
— DishGirl (@R_U_Srs) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn This is your concern? Did you actually listen to what the FBI said about Hillary's actions?
— Sharon Broadie (@SBroadie) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn 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
@sallykohn 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
@sallykohn 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
@sallykohn 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
@sallykohn Literally everything Hillary said she didn't do, she did, as explained by Comey. That you are crowing about this says it all.
— Jon D. Conqueroo (@jon_d_conqueroo) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn do you have no critical thinking skills. Did you not listen to the entire announcement? Anyone else would be charged.
— Chris Davis (@Chris_Davis66) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn Anyone else would've been punished. pic.twitter.com/Tb2RdqxXM8
— Nick Frankowski (@NickFrankowski) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn You're right. She just committed perjury and has horrible judgement. Nothing to crow about here.
— Scott C (@croncrete) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn So you have no problem with the fact that everything we accused her of doing was admitted to today?
— Glenn Brown (@RandomHero30) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn Did you "intend" to be an ignorant ass or should we just forgive it?
— Joseph D'Agostino (@SmileyNH) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn Actually, the FBI said she's guilty as hell, but they won't charge anyway, so no.
— (((Yitz))) (@yitzyy) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn Comey literally said Clinton broke the law and then recommended no charges. So no. We won't. https://t.co/hT0XRegtPZ
— Rex Alley (@rexalley) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn I see you don't give a shit about corruption in the federal government. No we won't shut up.
— takashi 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.
@sallykohn Your lack of objective integrity is spectacular.
— Adam P. Tait (@aptait) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn partisan hack
— s. carrol (@scarroIl) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn I'm glad you are ok with breaking the law as long as it's your side doing it.
— Swedish Chef (@Badash78) July 5, 2016
This is further proof that @sallykohn will defend the liberals no matter how reckless they are.

Update:
Guess Sally wasn’t finished yet:
Not on your life. Just because the DoJ decided not to prosecute doesn't mean there isn't lots of evidence she put US at risk. @sallykohn
— Jerry the Bastage (@grassfed_butter) July 5, 2016
(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
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 5, 2016
Oh. Em. Gee.
@sallykohn @grassfed_butter
Uh no buttercup.— MsBehavingInfidel (@DayumMaam) July 5, 2016
Uh, Comey said the opposite. "There is evidence of potential violations of the statutes" on classified info handling https://t.co/UkIB1VBGNT
— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) July 5, 2016
@sallykohn
Comey: "She's guilty but we aren't prosecuting." Not exactly a ringing vindication, is it?— Good Egg (@ProudOvoid) July 5, 2016
There is *literally* no evidence that Sally Kohn knows what the heck she’s talking about.
Editor’s note: This post has been updated with additional text.

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
— Matthew D. Dempster (@dempstermd) July 5, 2016
Better step back, Sally. Before you hurt yourself.
