If she wanted to run for President, she shouldn't have gotten caught up in yet another scandal. I didn't do it. She did. She needs to own it.

During a Democratic administration, no less. How flipping stupid does she have to be? How flipping awkward a position she has left our leaders in...I actually feel sorry for some of them, who deserved better.

I will be burning up the phone lines today with my local officials. If they don't take control of this farce, God help us all.

It is all rightwing crap. And Bernie is done, Hillary will not be indicted and despite -your efforts to elect a Republicans president - will win the general.

and because of her, another woman will not be considered to run for president for decades. She fucks everything she touches up.

Blind obedience is not a positive behavior.

The most reliable source of news (FAUX) uses undocumented sources to leak a rumor that the fishing expedition is unable to produce evidence of any substance and is now branching out for something, anything, to put on Hillary.

FBI is not congress.. it is a criminal investigation not a fishing expedition. Her and her husband have raised over 4 billion dollars..with a b..billion.... 4 billion.. and they have stayed at the top of the insider political game for 23 years.. and you don't think there is quite a bit of quid pro quot going on there..

and why oh why do you think they installed that private server in their basement bathroom..

in order to put gas in the car dontcha know?

When they get thrown in jail a whole lotta people owe me an apology.

servers. She chose to put herself and US at risk. She put my life at risk. She chose to install a private server in her home...AS IF! Who the hell EVER heard of such an arrangement? In the entire history of the US Government, I never have. Hillary just has never learned, even at her age, to accept responsibility.

It takes a special kind of person to keep up with Fox News propaganda. Stick with them and you will be spouting "We Report, You Decide" talking points with the best of them.



Even more funny.

"Anyone know if this is still an active part of the investigation? I can't keep up..."

That is exactly how "We Report, You Decide" is done.

When a conservative opens their bookmark to a couple month old link to a Fox News Clinton hit piece first thing in the morning.

https://m.

It shows the desperation of their campaign.

From January.

Yeah, let me know when this is a REAL story.

you can hear the same crap! Just like Obama's birth certificate - you can make up and repeat any kind of trash or rumor.

You do realize that no one is left on DU who cares about the imaginary scandals? There are a bunch of Blemmings self-stimulating; and a few of us long time political junkies who still get a little entertainment.

Personally, I hope that the RWers continue to waste time and money on GDP, because that means they are NOT out polluting the real undecided voters. I also say it is wasting money because it's been clear for quite a while that some serial posters on DU are trolls; likely paid operatives. It's hard to separate trolls from zealots or people with personality disorders or enthusiastic supporters who simply have endless time and energy. The trolls don't have to "keep up" because someone is handing them scripted posts!

Now, if there was an honest investigation, we could find out how much Bernie money really is coming from anti-Hillary 1%ers. We also would have emails and phone calls from inside the NRA talking about supporting Bernie without openingly saying so. We also would have transcripts of Bernie's discussions with the Russians from his honeymoon. We might have tapes of conversations behind closed doors with military contractors about the F22 and why it ended up in Burlington, VT for God's sake!!

Gosh, I wish I could keep up with all of Bernie's secret deals!!

I haven't seen anything to this effect at all, including this report back in January.

But I must say that, not knowing about this report, I speculated here at DU not long ago, that the FBI wouldn't be taking a year on this not-yet-completed investigation, and employ 50 to 150 agents on it (depending on who you believe), and wouldn't have immunized a witness (the tech who set up her private email server), and wouldn't have asked the State Dept. to step out of the investigation, and wouldn't have brought the DOJ in, merely over Clinton's cavalier treatment of classified material. She was, after all, Secretary of State. I felt--and still feel--pretty sure that the investigation goes beyond the server itself and is into what Clinton was using this private server FOR.

The FBI has also consulted the NSA (and probably the CIA) reportedly on identification of classified material in Clinton's emails. Some items have been redacted from FOIA requests. Clinton lied about this. She said that the 30,000 emails she deleted were personal in nature but this was not true. The FBI reportedly recovered some of these, and some were work emails containing classified material. This seems to have been Clinton evading FOIA laws. (All government documents have to be preserved and are subject to FOIA requests.)

So there are multiple issues regarding the private server itself. FOIA issues. National security issues. Obstruction of justice issues.

It's kind of bizarre. We have someone, Clinton, who wants to be president of the United States and couldn't obey the most elemental rules and laws that protect the U.S. government from hacker penetration of our government officials' emails?

Well, we've had other instances of that by high government officials, though NOT a private server, for godssakes! THAT was an invitation to hackers. It's not known if hackers got into her server but they got close by hacking one of her correspondents (Sydney Blumenthal over at the Clinton Foundation, a private entity).

Still, my guess would be that the FBI wouldn't recommend indictment for this but that the NSA, CIA, et al, might bargain with her (over a threatened FBI recommendation to indict) to guarantee no private server if she becomes president.

So what's taking so long? That is the question. A year's FBI work running into the middle of a presidential campaign year, with one candidate a target of their investigation, and no end in sight. What else might they be investigating? Pay-to-play corruption is the obvious possibility.

Could be they are protecting her from the RW morons in Congress--are holding onto this investigation for the purpose of a cover up. She's one of the rich and powerful and very well connected in the world of government profiteers, military and otherwise. Like Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld, she may well be above the law.

That's one possibility Another is that the FBI will be blasted with charges of interference in politics no matter what they do, and they are therefore uncertain what to do. If they recommend indictment, they better have good, solid evidence. And if they don't, they better have a convincing report that she did not break the law. Being uncertain takes time.

Or they could just be proceeding normally, i.e., they have good reason to pursue this investigation; they are not finished, and they will not be rushed by political considerations.

It does seem incredible, though, that they might let her get nominated and elected without telling the public what they think, either way.

We know she has re-engaged her criminal attorney, and the Politico/Vice News FOIA lawsuit has a "show cause PUBLICLY why releasing the records could harm an investigation" deadline of today, so things are looking very interesting for this week.

I don't know why, but I expect her interview is going to take place after today's primary; Comey has to be cautious about making sure it doesn't look like the FBI is interfering in the political process.

All of the leaks keep discussing indictment and criminal issues; that tells me the sources are not using "if" but "when" statements, and the assurance is leaking into the reporters writing in subtle ways.

This has been most educational - for example, people who think Hillary's "the FBI hasn't told me I'm being investigated" actually means anything are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Interesting.

Did you miss the post explaining why on Saturday?

Hillary People - Trash this Thread; Others - Consider it FYI
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511810912

It received 131 recommendations, 339 replies, and over 5,000 views, so it isn't exactly a secret why I like these two - their leaks are very consistently backed up with "verifiable proof" (copy of the Inspector General's letter, testimony of Attorney General, etc.).

Were you hoping you had cleverly discovered a secret Karl Rove operative masquerading as a trusted long term poster?

I need say no more.

You keep fucking that chicken.

When all you post is chicken fucking, I tend to think one might be a chicken fucker.

Thank you, lol.

for quite a while now.

Gotta love how much you guys hate Clinton. All this cuddling up to the right wingers is probably gonna sting a lot when your guy loses anyway.

wife was SOS. I wonder what people would have said if Michelle would have made MILLIONS in speech income while here husband was President and those who paid her the millions had business with the U.S. government?

we would stop remembering.
