The PR for Clinton Brian Fallon implied in interviews he thought independent appointments such as the intel Inspector General were working with the republicans to make Hillary look bad.

These are the people saying it's all a conspiracy theory.

To actually make this a real accusation and not just a gibbering mess of obvious bias, you'd have to look at countries that didn't give to the Clinton Foundation vs. those that did, and compare arms sales to them. You can also look at time periods when the Saudis didn't give money to the Clinton Foundation, and see if their arms deals suffered.

You won't do that, though, partially because you probs know it'll show you're wrong but also because you're just lazy and/or don't actually know how to do it.

All those countries and companies that gave big donor dollars to the Clinton Foundation were just doing it because they believed deeply in the mission of the Clinton Foundation

The speaking fees directly to Hillary were honorarium, to honor her, for all her hard work.

its fine. everything is fine.

people taking millions from the Koch brothers, you see that is very different because they are bad thinkers, whereas the Clintons are good thinkers, duh, its so simple.

You're really invested in the idea that Hillary is as pure as the driven snow, aren't you? Do you have a weird sex thing for her or something? I thought you were an attorney or some legal professional, it's pretty strange that you would be so madly in love with someone who flaunts the rule of law.

Republicans already tried that in recent history. There has to be significant public support for them to risk it again.

The only way it matters imo, is literally a confession letter from Clinton herself.

No idea what weird fantasy you're spinning here, I'm in public health and I don't think Clinton is pure, but all of this poo poo is basically a non-issue in terms of anyone getting indicted if you know anything about it. It's not just Hillary.

Yeah, they're going to mine it for votes & donations more than effect any sort of serious ramifications for Hillary, and there's not much backlash that they'll face from it either.

If this email stuff didn't exist then it might've still been about Benghazi, which what with everything that has come to light since then, it isn't a free option for the right to take a roll on without consequence. I can personally think of a number of people who are at least sympathetic to republicans but over the last 4 years have grown sick of the ghoulish pursuit of them picking over that tragedy with the singular ambition of finding anything that could be spun into a scandal. Keeping it up might be cheered by their core but it doesn't help them with people they still need to win over.

That's what sucks about Hillary on the left (leaving out other things that suck, for the moment): we know whoever comes forward as the dem nom or president will get demonized all day every day non stop until the sun burns out, but she has an M.O. that gives those attempts an air of not being completely childish.

EDIT: Can I coin the phrase "Demonization Industrial Complex"? It seems to have crystallized as a modern age industry from, oh, jan 20, 2009 or so.

Emailgate is a comforting lie Hillary's political opponents tell themselves so they don't have to face the reality they're going to lose and she's going to be elected. You're seeing it now with Bernouts, and you'll see it in six months with Trumpists.

“There is no way Secretary Clinton and her staff have not violated classified information laws — both misdemeanors and felonies,” said Joseph E. diGenova, former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. “The FBI is conducting a serious, criminal investigation. This is not a security review.”

Yeah that guy's a loon but I'm not sure how the facts of the case, to which Hillary has already offered a mea culpa, are anythign other than, she violated FedGov standards rather dramatically, then lied repeatedly about it, and absolutely, positively exposed dozens if not hundreds of Top Secret emails to any halfwit hacker smart enough to break into a $3 a month hosting company.

Hillary Clinton joked to reporters Tuesday in Las Vegas about whether she "wiped" her email server clean before giving it to the FBI.

“What? Like with a cloth or something?” she asked, then laughed. “I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”
