It's Time for Hillary to Say, Publicly, The Russians Had No Dirt

Trump should man up and admit it - the Russians had no dirt on Hillary and neither did he. With all of the hackers, espionage operatives, and political operatives doing their best digging, they found -- wait for it -- nothing! We now know that all of Trump's claims of 30,000 emails were really about Junior's emails. Once again, we see Trump's projecting. He gives himself away every time.

2. Why on Earth would she draw attention to herself in that way?

She should say nothing at all of that sort. And even if she doesn't, the Republicans will continue to attack her, even in their investigation of Trump and the Russian connection. No useful purpose will come out of Hillary Clinton speaking out about her innocence.

She is not the subject of these investigations. Trump is.

The Republicans have been after Clinton for years, and are still after her. However, she holds no political office, and is unlikely to seek the Presidency again. Despite a constant barrage of investigations and accusations, she has risen above those. There's no there there.

Frankly, I'd encourage her to speak out about issues and about Donald Trump. However, there is no reason for her to defend herself in any way regarding Russia. She has already been tested on that, and has emerged without any damage, really.

I don't advise people in her position. I'm just a poster on a forum on the internet.

Give Trump room to unspool more of that quality-test rope that he and his lieutenants are rolling out at a gallop. HRC has no need or duty whatsoever to go anywhere near the raging dumpster fire that is #45 and his associates.

11. She is doing exactly what she should be doing: nothing at all.

This is not about Clinton, it is not about what information the Russians did or did not have on Clinton.This is about a political candidate for president knowingly receiving material aid from a foreign government - a crime - and then attempting to cover up and obstruct the investigation into that crime while president.

Clinton should stay as far away from this mess as she can.

But they sure as hell would love to make Hillary "prove her innocence" and put the spotlight on her
