It was clear that Hillary was cool, calm, and collected, fielding questions from the press.

She explained her reasoning like a professional and defended her reasons not to show private emails. Everything she did was legal and according to the law. And she even got some swipes in on the #47Traitors. Before today I honestly didn't know how she would do in front of a media feeding frenzy, but she handled it like a pro and nailed it, all with a smile on her face.

Unbelievable. I felt the shame for them that they obviously do not have for themselves.

They should have been confronting Cotton & his traitors, with the same abhorrent aggression they showed for Clinton's emails. Which amount to a big fat zero.
Pffft.

.. is on his private email list as to the organization of the Iran letter to usurp the President of the US.
Boehner? Bibi? 47 Signatories?
Who else might he been conversing with on private emails?
And then demand to see the private emails of all those who appear in his private emails and follow that nasty traitorous path to who else was in on the Iran letter.

Press should be as aggressive on this scandal as Mrs Clinton's emails.
Where are the investigative talk show hacks on this matter.
A matter that actually is a national security issue.
Open Cotton's private emails!

His sudden rise to the forefront is unnerving. Consider his age, his ambition & his ego being stroked by the promise of a Presidential bid someday.
Cotton is a nasty little shit that will enthusiastically dance to the ugliest side of secret political machines and he will do it with absolute intent of being in complete control of all he touches.
He is the shiny new toy of ALEC, hard right extremists, & the Rovian machine that has been killing off the heart of American democracy one slice at a time.

Cotton is to be feared. Because he embodies all that despises our democracy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cotton

On January 11, 2005, Cotton joined the United States Army and entered Officer Candidate School in March 2005. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army on June 30, 2005. Cotton later attended both the U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School.[3]

As an infantry officer and platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division, he was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom on May 19, 2006. In Iraq, Cotton was responsible for a 41 man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment,[8] and planned and led daily combat patrols. He completed his first combat tour in Iraq on November 20, 2006, and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and various campaign/service medals.[3]

In June 2006, Cotton gained public attention after he wrote an open letter to The New York Times criticizing the paper's publication of an article detailing a Bush administration secret program monitoring terrorists' finances in which he called for three journalists, including the Times' editor, Bill Keller, to be imprisoned for espionage.[9] The article was widely circulated online and reprinted in full in several newspapers.[10]

Following his deployment in Iraq, Cotton was assigned as a platoon leader at The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery,[11] where he was responsible for conducting military honor funerals for veterans. In 2008, he volunteered to return to combat duty, was promoted to captain on August 1, 2008, and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom on October 15, 2008.

In Afghanistan, Cotton was assigned to Laghman Province, just north of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. He was assigned duty as the operations officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team, where he planned and resourced daily counter-insurgency and reconstruction operations for an 83-member joint and interagency team.[3] He returned from Afghanistan on July 20, 2009. For his second tour in Afghanistan he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and various campaign/service medals. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on September 26, 2009 at Fort Myer, Virginia.[3]


Nothing like the embodiment of everything that despises democracy

Creepy.
Nice military bio. GOP voters will love this.
Unfortunately he is also a shill for the GOP powers that reward doing their business with moving rapidly up the ladder of power players in the GOP.
He is a Walker with a military degree.
And he just passed the GOP initiation by stepping out in the limelight by stopping the dangerous policies of that other guy in the White House whom they'd like to forget existed.

That's a really pretty picture but the other pics of his darker side is effing frightening.

it all depends which ones you choose to look at. it's pretty easy to persuade the masses with a bit of selective sound bites and careful visuals.

Something evil lies behind that smile..His ego is huge and he loves it. He thrives and feeds off hero worship and he has the stupid base to give him that fix.

Yes, lets let a grand jury look at Cotton and company's other possible traitor deeds:

There will never be an end to this scandal until, we can have confidence that these
47 Senators are loyal this country. It is disturbing to have doubt about US Senators
loyalties

Hillary spoke of the 47 Republican senators who wrote the open letter to Iran. These senators should be tried for treason against this nation.

And what did all those reporters ask her?

Emails.
Emails.
Emails.
Emails.

For GOD'S SAKE!!!

If the main stream media did anything but totally suck, it would be FOCUSING on the treason-letter with SINGLE MINDED INTENSITY.

But NO....

Emails.
Emails.
Emails.

Geez.
