I am so sick of hearing about Hillary's e-mails! (HILLARY CLINTON GROUP)

The GOP and right-wing extremists have been trying to destroy her forever. Rose law firm, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Benghazi, etc. And now her e-mails. None of those "scandals" ever went anywhere and this e-mail "scandal" won't go anywhere, either.

Just another pathetic attempt to discredit her.

The bottom line is that most voters don't give a damn about this. It has nothing to do with the issues facing this country.

OP in GDP asking if "it's time to give up on Hillary". Due to the "emails". I might feel disheartened, too.. if I let myself get clogged down with gopropanda day in and day out.

But, I don't do that.. I haven't watched corp media since I saw what they were doing in 2002. I don't even own a tv now.

The only ones who give a damn about this are those who see it as a way to bring her down.. everyone else has more important matters than some ginned up bogus email. manufactured, Benghazi tale!

Hillay is laser focused with her eye on the prize.. beating the repub candidate in 2016.

How much did m$m pound on distractions regarding.. then Senator Obama's in 2008? Exactly.

the reason too many people suffered and even died unnecessarily in Katrina, too.

Do you think they'll be talking about that when the anniversary comes up?

repubs are inept, incompetent monsters.. they never are right on anything.. yet the US has a "media propaganda mancine" hawking for them.

I tune in to the local right wing nut case radio station on my way to work to see what they are saying. It certainly does wake me up! What hateful and intolerant people! All they can talk about now are Hillary's e-mails and I am thinking...does anyone really care about this?

It's beyond me why it doesn't die because if you look at it from the big picture,

A high ranking public official has staff set up email so they can do their job.
They do their job, life goes on.
Well after leaving that job, some reporters stir up a kerfuffle over classified info that might have been in some of the emails that went to what amounted to a private server.
The government is embarrassed into investigating the matter due to the level of publicity.

The BS fans will crucify this post, that's fine. But ask yourself a few questions:

Is anyone alleging the mail server set up was done by Hillary? No
Is anyone alleging Hillary dictated a private server or any particular technology be used? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary masterminded or otherwise directed how to pull the emails, clearing the server? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary was the originator of an e-mail that used classified information? No.
Is anyone alleging Hillary forwarded an e-mail that used classified information that was marked classified? No.
Is anyone alleging the use of private e-mail accounts by others in this job was illegal as those e-mails would be on servers out of the control of staff? No.
Is anyone alleging any damage occurred by use of private e-mails by Hillary or her predecessors? No.

In the end I get it's great theater, fun to hit her over the head with, but it has no possibility of resulting in escalation...none.

Will be using it early and often!

Cha - you'll love this. Just heard on hate radio re the e-mails - "There is something deep and dark in there." (Michael Savage show - truly puke inducing!)

These people seem to get more and more ridiculous and paranoid by the minute.
