comment about her doing wrong, or a suggestion she change her email address, is evidence it is bullshit.

ALL these people sending and receiving emails from her knew it was a personal acct and no one said anything to her.

Love this quote -

See, if Hillary would just quit fighting for herself and her issues, they (the media) could quit ganging up on her.

However, by failing to roll over and bare her throat, Hillary Clinton only “continued to contribute to the perception that she has something to hide.”

*
Stolberg also complained that both Clintons “play by a separate set of rules, (and) that the normal standards don’t apply.”
Which normal standards? According to, yes, The New York Times: “When (Clinton) took office in 2009 ... the State Department allowed the use of home computers as long as they were secure ... There appears to have been no prohibition on the exclusive use of a private server; it does not appear to be an option anyone had thought about.”

*
But leave it to the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza, who’s written about little else lately, to sum it all up with classic “wife-beater” logic. Hillary’s emails, he told NPR’s audience, “remind (voters) of the things they don’t like, the secretiveness, the paranoia, the sort of distrust ... And then I also think it just feeds the perception that she is a candidate of the past. Do you really want to go back to this? Yes, the Clintons bring many good things. But they also bring this sort of baggage, this stuff that always follows them.”
See, if Hillary would just quit fighting for herself and her issues, they could quit ganging up on her.

*
From the Rose Law Firm billing records to Benghazi, it’s the same old story: When the evidence finally emerges, it turns out that Hillary has been diligently coloring inside the lines all along.
And that’s because she’s smarter and tougher than her enemies — the very qualities that drive them crazy.


thank you. excellent.

of their quest for American fascism...an unprecedented 12, then 16 straight years of holding the White House will do it.

Keeping the frothy GOP voter "base" of anti-intellectuals and brainwashed sheeple satiated daily demands daily heaping helpings of the same rancid and frothy brew of bullshit and xenophobia the folks are well used to gobbling up.

Bengazhi was the last reiteration of the propganda and now that that has found nothing as nothing was to be found, here comes the new warmed over version known as EGazhi

there are far more important (economic) reasons to favor a candidate other than Hillary. But the e-mails are just another smear campaign by the swift-boating crowd.

16. CNN Busts Darrell Issa For Lying About Classified Hillary Clinton Emails

Well, Wolf can be irritating most of the time but I give him credit for this one.
Don't mean to hijack your tread but this fits right in.

CNN Busts Darrell Issa For Lying About Classified Hillary Clinton Emails
Wolf Blitzer busted Darrell Issa for lying about Hillary Clinton’s emails during an interview on CNN.


Video:

Transcript via CNN:

REP. DARRELL ISSA (R), CALIFORNIA: Well, Wolf, the one thing we now know is that, as they said, about 300 separate e-mails, maybe more, contain classified information. And I think it’s important to get above the discussion of classified documents and so on. If you or I go to a briefing, and we receive classified information, and we then produce an e-mail that says things that were in that briefing, that is disclosing classified information. That appears to be what happened.

….

It’s not an accident to have 300 e-mails become retroactively, if you will, determined to be classified. That means somebody sent out classified information and did not recognize it as classified.

Huma, her assistant, her second daughter, if you will, is ..........................

BLITZER: Well, my understanding is those 300 e-mails they’re looking at now, that they haven’t definitively ruled that it was classified information. They’re going over it right now. There seems to be a dispute going on between the State Department and other agencies of the U.S. government what should have been classified, even if it had not been classified at the time. Is that your understanding, as well?

ISSA: Well, it is. But I’ll give you a little piece of history. During my chairmanship, it was amazing how the State Department classified the most mundane information, even when publicly available. In this case, it appears as though State would like to say these things weren’t particularly classified.
......................

With one fact based question, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was able to derail the Republican myth of the 300 classified emails.

It is a mystery why CNN or any other cable network continues to give Darrell Issa airtime......................

Clinton’s emails have become the new Republican conspiracy, but all it took was one fact based question to get Issa to admit that the 300 classified emails talking point was not true.
