If anybody needs evidence for rebuttal purposes (I've started collecting them) ...

Loved this one! A terrific overview, point-by-point, and very nicely in context:

Just fresh, today from the FBI:
http://crooksandliars.com/2016/08/fbi-confirms-clinton-did-not-originate

New York Times - with a well-researched graph ranking multiple politicians for their Pinocchio potency:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/opinion/campaign-stops/all-politicians-lie-some-lie-more-than-others.html?_r=1

Jill Abramson, self-admittedly not a fan of either Clintons, but is forced to concede the facts just don't lie - and neither does HRC:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/28/hillary-clinton-honest-transparency-jill-abramson

From Mother Jones of all places?!? They originally staunchly stood by Bernie Sanders over Hillary.

Selectively applied familiar shit used to smear her is identified and thoroughly called out:

A personal testimonial that's both touching and illuminating:

I trust Hillary more than Trump, though, for what that's worth.

And there would be a mix of those working with them, it is what it is. Locally we have a lot of corruption and a totally honest mayor. She can't get a lot done because the assholes oppose her every move. Locally it's not such a bad thing, in the Oval Office it's a bigger problem. A lot of compromises and half measures have to be employed to deal with the situation as it stands now. But Trump is ridiculous, as are most of the GOP. There's no equivalence to that among Dems.

Which is to say that I trust her in most things but I have strong reservations about her judgment in matters of military intervention.

Some of it is republican generated animus and faux charges. Some of it is of her own doing.

I'm voting for her. I expect her to be President. I hope to be proven wrong, but no, sorry, I don't trust her- and it has nothing to do with republican memes.

The moment she said "When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit", you could tell she was so proud of that simple line. I wouldn't have thought much of the line myself but there was a sincerity in her smile and face attached to it that made me think she's really a genuine and good person, she means it.
