Thanks.

Thus, I would appreciate a little help from more informed people.

Were there deleted emails?

If so, who deleted them? Did Russia have a part in that?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance on the subject.

In one of the many "investigations" into Benghazi it was disclosed that HRC was using a private email server, in her home, for Secretary of State business. (Which was recommended she do by Colin Powell, as he had done prior to her, and as Condalezza(sp?) Rice had done prior to him, and which was not illegal at the time... although it has since been made illegal) The Benghazi committee subpoenaed all "work related" emails from HRC's private server.

So, Clinton's being Clinton's, and wanting to maintain a level of privacy, she hired an outside law firm to go through all the emails archived on the server and remove all the personal, private emails.

THOSE are the ones they are talking about when they claim they want to see the "deleted" emails.

The ones the law firm regarded as work-related were handed over to the Benghazi committee... etc.

All the government workers I know said her server was probably safer. These aren't Democrats saying this. The government IT security is not awesome because each little fiefdom has their own rules.

the US DoS, I heartily concur.

Don't forget increased and enhanced voter suppression initiatives!

You're absolutely right. What a coincidence that the states she barely lost were the ones with the most draconian voter suppresion efforts - MI, WI, and PA. Not to mention NC.

Thanks for reminding me.

They outright ignored not only the voter suppression tactics, but they also looked the other way at Trump's behavior and carried water for him, while crucifying Hillary over petty shit.

But, Hillary only won the popular vote by 3 million, and not by 7 or 8 million, so she's the worst candidate in the world.

The democrats should canvas poor neighborhoods and pay for people to get their voter ID. Probably cheaper than the amount they spend pervote in advertising!

As attempting to buy the votes, which is highly illegal.

More illegal than blocking the vote?

but they can help them get it in other ways, like help with paper work and where to find resources to pay for them. I believe they did do that in some states.

will be perceived as illegal by those with a vested interest in hanging on to their power

because she didnt connect with something something yadaa yadda, needs to move to the left,,,,needs to move to the right,,,, mumble, mumble, vince foster and nancy pelosi, corporatist, big money,,,, bill clinton wants to lock up everybody,,,,,,the DLC,,,,, speeches,,,,,,.

How could I have forgot that. Thanks!

A simple google search of her accomplishments should be enough to prove to any reasonable person that she is eminently qualified, AND has the best interests of We, the People at heart.

for the first debate Clinton cannot laugh, cannot cough... while Trump just needed to stay on message or some shit.

in fucking credible.

Yeah. Much.

what else am I gonna do..

it was so fucking stupid.

have been able to win in a primary against her ....

Your point being?

Can't stand him.

...even though he never received any hacked emails from the Russians, that we know of.

I remember reading somewhere that the FBI has a tape of Trump (supposedly it was intended for Putin) stating that he would ease the sanctions against Russia if he got elected. So that's ANOTHER quid pro quo on a different subject.

They really have the goods on him, don't they?

This stuff really is infuriating -- because everything you said is dead on!

And we got MSM (all of them!) discussing whether or not any laws were actually broken! Christ help us!

How do we FIX this? How do we FIX Gorsuch instead of Garland?!! How do we change something that never should have happened?

I know the Constitution has no provisions to correct these illicit acts. It's enormously frustrating. My passionate self says we the people need to rise up and make things right -- but I really don't think we have it in us to do that, especially in a peaceful way. Sad.

votes.

Not good enough. Further, we insist she apologize for her failure over and over, tell her to shut up repeatedly and go away.

Amazing, right?

See? I do not think this statement from Sanders were even a little "fantastic". I see another lack luster response at best, on a huge issue.

You?

maybe not being a progressive.

Is someone's fire beginning to sputter?

vilifying her family name.

Which STILL wasn't enough, they had to hack it to win.

And Trump was financing it.

All we're supposed to to is prattle on and on about not making tour stops in Wisconsin...

If only she'd made an appearance in Wisconsin, where, apparently, they don't have TV's.

I double dog dare you. Bring it on.

Misogyny played its part, especially in the way Hilary haters find it so easy to believe ridiculous smears about her. In the same way the media found it so easy to question her "fitness for office" and smear her character by insinuations over trivialities such as fashion, coughing and vocal inflections, while ignoring her superlative resumé.

Media, much of it repuke owned, have been after both Clintons for at least 30 years, but the hatred, the dehumanization, sticks to her in a way it wouldn't to a man, as it does to all women.

or even good enough when they do speak out.

Gerrymandering, voter suppression, Russian collusion,fake news stories

now it makes sense why Hillary lost

Checks and balances, and Democracy. WTF!
As McCain commented, when asked a question about seeing the "tapes," why don't you ask Putin.

...and w this SCOTUS, we aren't going to get rulings that let Repubs lose control.

Next time . . .

in no matter how you look at it. By the time the primaries ended, they had managed to make Hillary and all the institutions of the Democratic Party toxic. The Russians helped, but there were too many on our own side, who were willfully and intentionally aiding & abetting.

and another +1.

"Corporate whore" is the one I'll never forget.

And then all the "fighting the Democratic establishment" stuff too from a certain somebody.

I am never letting him off the hook.

Trump was so happy that Hillary was brought down by her emails . . . and now we have Donald Jr's . . . .


ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the whole chump cabal goes down.

The suckers were the ones who were verbally "defending" our democracy as it was being stolen.

Talk about "Nothing burgers." We got what we ignored.

It had to be said.

They took that. They STOLE that away from us.

But I just have to believe that somehow this is going to be righted.

These crooks just can't get away with this. It might come unexpectedly from another direction or issue altogether but it's bound to happen.

The deck is stacked against people who are more progressive and in the past 20 years conservatives have made it even more uphill. I'm reminded of that quote about Ginger Rogers who did everything Fred Astaire did but backwards and in heels!

it's the correct thing to do.

Tell mew how they are not planning to break up the USA and steal everything.

She had to stand there, be calm and rational, and take this BS on live camera. She should get an oscar or a medal or at the very least be the POTUS!

Left who bought into all the Russian bot stories about how Hillary killed her political opponents & basically ran her family charity like a mob! It was heart breaking!
