March 2008, Obama, under investigation by the FBI, News Breaks...

That he and his staff are to be interviewed by Federal Investigators. What do you think Hillary's 2008 campaign would have done with that? Hillary 2016 deserves no less scrutiny.

We learned firsthand exactly the kind of warmongering presidency we will get if she is president based off her actions as SoS.

This has NOTHING to do with the JW FOIA request. This is an FBI investigation into the email server and classified information and how it was all handled. This is not a partisan witch hunt by some random teapublican House committee. This is a DOJ/FBI/DOS IG/DIA investigation, all executive branch.

His AG, his FBI, his DoS are all on a "politically motivated witch-hunt"? They are in control of this investigation, no one else and no one at JW and no one at DU.

That there was no mishandling of classified info.

Every time you and JW froth at the mouth and think this is a big deal, is the problem.

I don't give two-shits about JW your juvenile attempts to conflate me with them is ridiculous.
What I do care about is that management be held to the same standards of conduct and applicable laws like the rank and file staff in her old department and in other areas of government and government contractors that handle classified material. So far, I haven't seen any evidence that suggests what is happening one way or the other.
I have stated on this site, more than once, I am willing to let the investigation run its course and live by its findings but I will not stand by and let it be written off as a partisan witch hunt or minimize the very implications of mishandling classified material, no matter how unintentionally, has impacted very real lives that are not as fortunate to be one of the politically and economically elite.
