I'm going to take Hillary's word for it that she has no idea how her law firm billing records
magically appeared on a table in the White House after Hillary had refused to turn them over to a grand jury.

Aside from them just appearing one night, there's nothing to suggest that anything improper was going on.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/arkansas/docs/recs.html
In January 1996, a long sought-after copy of billing records from the Rose Law Finn were identified and turned over to prosecutors by Carolyn Huber, a White House assistant to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Ms. Huber, herself a former Rose Law Firm employee, recognized the records and realized that they had been among papers that she had removed six months earlier from the First Lady's book room on the third floor of the White House.

The mysterious appearance of the billing records, which had been the specific subject of various investigative subpoenas for two years, sparked intense interest about how they surfaced and where they had been. Shortly after the discovery of the records, Hillary Clinton made history -- she became the only First Lady ever called to testify before a Grand Jury inquiry.

3. I have not endorsed either candidate.
I'll fall in line for the nominee.

You don't know me.

4. Well, if you ask me, that kinda stuff is the reason Hill ain't winning
I clearly remember the Bill Clinton years and spending way too much time beating back wingnuts with all their claims about the Clintons and witch hunts. Even if none of it was their fault (and some of it is), I just think people were so worn out defending them that they don't want to go through the same crap all over again.

He's already getting it during this campaign and not all from the HRC camp.

6. The same? Are you kidding?
Shoot, the Clintons were accused of something about every 15 minutes. Of course, 99% of it was total bullshit, but sometimes the way they handled it just made it worse. Of course, if Bill would have kept his fly zippered it might have helped.

No, I don't think there is even a remote possibility that it could be the "same" for Obama.

9. You'd have to go back to '92 for any kind of fair comparison to what's happening now
Any way you look at it, it's all speculative.

8. And if she gets elected
we'll have another however many years of beating back those same wingnuts. Nothing of value will be accomplished and she can never bring this nation together.
