With a 47 GOP cabal traitors in the Senate maybe the former SecofState needed a secure server.

Also this may be why they will not vote to confirm the new Atty Gen.

Is this a preview of a coup???

1. Ever see the movie Seven Days in May?

Seven Days in May is an American political thriller motion picture about a military-political cabal's planned takeover of the United States government in reaction to the president's negotiation of a disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union. Directed by John Frankenheimer, it stars Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, and Ava Gardner, and was released in February 1964. The screenplay was written by Rod Serling based on the novel of the same name by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II, published in September 1962.

We should maybe call this Seven Days in March. (and no pun on Fredric March)

2. I agree, and they should serve the 3 years in the Fed. Pen. But you know what they'll say.

We weren't negotiating with anyone! We were just pointing out the way our gov't works to the people of Iran who might not know.

Now, we know they were trying to blow up the negotiations and try to ruin the President at the same time.

I wonder if the Atty Gen has the authority to arrest 47 members of the Senate all at once?

She was afraid to even keep a freaking personal journal for fear the very real "great right wing conspiracy." The Republicans are relentless in their sabotage of the left.

4. It's a slow motion coup

that's been increasing in its severity for decades. They don't want us to have rights, or money or mobility. Hell they are pissed we have the Internet and can discuss what they are doing and agree with each other about what we have learned from each other.

They won't be happy until they have destroyed everyone and everything that isn't owned and operated by them and their benefactors.

The dumbing down of Murika is working in the elections too.

5. Don't forget the CIA spying on Congress, since it seems everyone else has.

She was a senator and no doubt had good reason to be paranoid of the CIA imo. Not to say they cannot hack a private server, but putting it on the government network would be just handing it over to them.

enemies within State who worked for Cheney. Cheney was willing to take down a CIA agent that was negotiating with Iran so why would it be any different with Hillary.
