I'm not sure I see the big news here.

That's what takes it into a different arena.

Very negligent, doesn't have to be sinister or illegal for it to be a really bad thing to have done.

I withdraw that..you are on the right site!

For you folks still desperate to attack Hillary alongside the GOP because..reasons...read it and weep:

Or not. It could be a valuable learning experience for them, right?

Laughing emoticon or not, such behavior is unbecoming a progressive.

Let's say we just stick to the facts about the candidates:

begins, this is August, 2015, isn't it?

as much as you might like it to be.

... Is joining in with the GOP to rally around another fake scandal. Period.

The State Department left it up to each person to decide which emails were work related and which ones weren't and that's what Hillary Clinton did. The entire story was nothing.

Worst defense of a candidate, ever. I support Senator Sanders.

While your preference has a long row to hoe before she will have anywhere near as much support on this site as he does.

The scandal is that there was classified information stored on her e-mail server.

Sad to see factually incorrect right wing talking points repeated here. SMH.

Somebody really should notify the FBI though.

But the press wanted to sell ad space, the RW smear machine wanted to milk it for what it was worth and the Anybody But Hillary crowd will gnaw on it until their dying day.

I mean, why would the Republicans ever wanna smear Hillary

It's been obvious since day one for those who were paying attention to facts.

And this has been acknowledged for months.

State department policy about allowing private email is a minor point. It doesn't address the potential classified information sent and received on the server.

It doesn't address the FOIA and record keeping issues that have arisen, like why did it take two years for Hillary to turn her emails over to the state department and who actually reviewed all her deleted emails and determined that record keeping laws did not apply to them.

The real damage is in the public perception of the scandal. Hillary's honest and trustworthy polling numbers are down in the 30's now in crucial swing states, when Trump, Bush, and Rubio are beating her in general election polling in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida it's getting real.

I think at this point the Republicans might want Hillsry to be the nominee, she's turning into the person they have the greatest likelyhood to beat.

.....a single word about her oh so infamous private server. Seems to have been secure.

just too many to swat away and public perception has already been shaped is defeatist nonsense and only a few buy that around DU...for obvious reasons.

I am a news junkie, and this is the first I have seen of this.

But I do see endless stories on both conservative and liberal media of the "drip, drip, drip of scandal" surrounding the E-mail controversy.

Reality consists only of what we see.

Better work on that!

This 'scandal' was never anything more than hot air.
