the email questions so the media will shut the hell up. She needs to have it before the debate. If she says something that they believe is untrue they will focus on that every minute following the debate will giving Trump a pass.

(47,487 posts)It really doesn't matter what she says. The media, or Republicans, will find a way to twist it to suit their purposes.
Can you imagine if they had the same standards for Hillary that they had for Trump? Imagine if people were impressed by the fact that she can go 2 hours without shitting her pants on stage.

(36,926 posts)Basically, she just needs to repeat that she was cleared of any wrongdoing. Why elaborate? That just gives Rump and the media more fodder to attack her.

(13,069 posts)Mr. Wolf, instead of regurgitating the right-wing talking point, why don't you review the evidence. Look at the congressional hearing in which Comey testified. Give us the facts you "journalist" you and do your job.

(989 posts)people who support her don't really give a damn about her e-mails. The subject just feeds the empty minds of Trump supporters. That is basically all they have and they know it.

(4,640 posts)The emails are a non-issue, as we saw with the FBI investigation (Comey overstepping in his announcement notwithstanding), and the following Congressional Inquiry. Ain't it funny how they can do that at a moment's notice, but guns and Zika don't get the proper hearings?

(10,952 posts)where there was an issue with a nuclear power plant (I believe) that could have sunk Arnie Vinick's campaign. He had the endless press conference and stood there and answered any and all questions until the press ran out of steam.
Perhaps Hillary should consider a similar move. Leave them with no where to go.

(6,436 posts).. the post linked to below was about the Fox interview of Clinton where Chris Wallace showed the two Gowdy questions which invited Comey to lie:

"Extremely careless?" Well then, I guess 300 career professionals in the Government who sent me those emails were careless and negligent. If 300 career professionals in the Government were 'careless and negligent' how valid or realistic is your definition of 'careless and negligent'? We know from the Dept of State IG report that there is widespread use of personal commercial email accounts for official business - as Colin Powell and Condi Rice used in the Bush administration.
Do you understand Chris, that all commercial email service providers have hundreds of cyber-security people who work to protect their systems from hackers and malware intrusions. In order to do their jobs, these people must have access to any and all emails and attachments thereto. They can examine any emails or attachments on their systems. And do you know Chris, that these individuals do not have government security clearances. Therefore, no one can say - with confidence - that any classified data in emails on commercial email accounts - has NOT been compromised.
Now, the system we set up was a government controlled server, managed by government IT people - who do have government security clearances. Thus, the system I used was more secure than using a personal commercial email account as Colin Powell and Condi Rice, for example, did. The security of my system, as Dir. Comey testified to, when he said they found no evidence of any hacking on that server. He said the FBI's software for finding malware did find malware in some emails of people who I communicated with in the Government. Now, if their malware detecting software could find malware in emails, it certainly is capable of finding malware on a server. People don't put malware on servers only to have it erase itself after a period of time. Anybody who puts malware on somebody's server wants that malware to remain there to send them updates on what is happening (e.g. emails sent & received) on that server. Now, during the time I was Sec of State, unfortunately, we know Government computer systems were hacked several times. But this did not happen, as Dir Come testified to, on my system.
All I can do Chris, is report the facts to the public so they can make informed decisions. Is there anything wrong with making sure that people are aware of ALL the facts Chris? Or ha-ha-ha, is that a novel concept here at Fox??"

(37,364 posts)the political yammerers on cable news will accept or that won't be twisted six ways to Sunday by the Republicans. They won't let her. It's a media game, and the sad thing is that a portion of the left have bought into this blood sport. Have a look.
