May 2016

it would not be even more.

Wipe? Like with a cloth?

I remember the first bs I saw on DU was that she was too old to comprehend email--from the same poster who had cautioned us against mentioning Hillary's age, appearance or weight. Meanwhile, they call Sanders old and comment on his appearance. Always special rules for the Clintons--which can also be broken whenever breaking them may help the Clintons. And then it's the Clintons who are the victims. If the pattern could be sadder, I'm not sure how.

Is there anyone here NOT troubled by Hillary's not cooperating with the IG investigation? [View all] BillZBubb May 2016 OP

No, it's as smart as not debating Bernie. kstewart33 May 2016 #1

Oh, this should be fun! Lurks Often May 2016 #2

there were a significant number of people who declined to be interviewed underthematrix May 2016 #3

Again, doesn't this contradict her statements about cooperation? BillZBubb May 2016 #9
