91. The "email issue" is evolving quickly. Sanders doesn't want to fight HRC

on this. Not only is he a gentleman, but is a friend of Hillary and does not want to gain political points by calling her out. That in itself says a whole lot.

It's in the hands of the Feds, and should not be politicized. But it's leaking over into Foundation Issues now, so prepare for more.

It is the job of a discussion board to report on events. Yet, I don't think we have to wait for Judgement Day to refer to it. And every bit that comes out makes it look less and less like what has been claimed...merely another Clinton Ooopsie.

So, yes, posting and comment is appropriate Along The Way. It doesn't make us Republicans or Towing their Line. But to think they are going to let this go away, regardless of our Democratic sensibilities, not at all.

As to the legal scholars, they are all over the map, depending on which way they swing. A good lawyer gleans facts from both sides. I think they call it Discovery. Still...grain of salt...both ways.
