1. Oh, she gets it, and Ron Fournier is an ass

For a better perspective on why the Clintons always invite trouble, read Frank Bruni's NYT piece yesterday:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/opinion/frank-bruni-hillary-and-bill-clinton-secrecy-and-state-department-emails.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=c-column-top-span-region®ion=c-column-top-span-region&WT.nav=c-column-top-span-region&_r=2

This passage is especially good:

She and Bill have lived their entire political lives under fire, some of it deserved, some of it not. It’s as if they decided at a certain point that they’d never get a fair shake and should cut the corners that they could and behave as they wished. Their foes would storm the gates regardless.

But there are times when the Clintons are their own worst enemies...

19. AP's Ron Fournier To Karl Rove: "Keep Up The Fight"

Karl Rove exchanged e-mails about Pat Tillman with Associated Press reporter Ron Fournier, under the subject line "H-E-R-O." In response to Mr. Fournier's e-mail, Mr. Rove asked, "How does our country continue to produce men and women like this," to which Mr. Fournier replied, "The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight."


Ron Fournier. Riiiiight.

They must see the writing on the wall.

Or is Ron not their official spokesperson?

instead of focusing on TPP/ACA/Environment/Climate Change/War Criminals/Wall Street/2008 Crash Crimes/Victims/Iran/Netanyahu and the BS the GOP House and Senate members get away with.......

I'm still holding out for real and credible evidence.

The more they go after her...for what I see (at this juncture) Petty nonsense..the Better she's looking. I'm going For the one "they" spend the Most on to Defeat.

Your so desperate to attack Hillary you use crazed RW sources. I have to wonder why you visit them so often. This is your second post citing this source.

to pretend that there is something completely nefarious about this, even though State Dept HAS the emails you are so concerned about now?

Fournier is a Bush man - always has been and always will be. He may stretch every now and then to criticize, but, only when he has no way left to lie openly for them.

He's at National Journal now to try and help push moderates towards Jeb and away from Clinton.
