for their future attacks on Hillary.

(9,006 posts)it's been such a shit parade of lies against the Clintons for so long it's just embarrassing, but I don't think the GOP is capable of shame or embarrassment.
damn shame so many Americans identify with them.

(652 posts)Don't think for a second that the GOP has given up on the email server. I suspect they are only getting started. They haven't even gotten to the trial by drowning yet. Will she sink or will she float?

(36,418 posts)What can't be made to "disappear" can be made so radioactive that no reasonable person wants to remember or to ever again examine the topic. That's the purpose of these bipartisan spectacles. Hillary's central role in the disasters in Libya and Syria are now cleansed, thanks to the "opposition" Republicans.
It's a formula, or a ritual, really. The ghosts of the Clintons (and the Bush family) role in BCCI/Iran-Contra were also exorcised by the Republican's botched Whitewater investigation. It's how the spooks stay in power permanently in America.

Wait for "what is Hillary hiding in her emails?" right wing media industrial complex talking point

(39,215 posts)line and sinker. Swiftboaters did not have any proof about what they were saying about Kerry either but the country fell for it.
No matter what the FBI finds as long as there are "missing" emails they are going to be able to sell this point. And what is Hillary going to say to convince them that the emails she deleted were just about Chelsea's wedding?
As a social worker I was told that I should keep record of all my actions, phone calls and other things that would prove what I was doing in my cases. This was so that I could answer questions regarding my work if challenged. I think when Hillary cleaned her personal emails out of her computer she forgot this rule.
I have always thought that the witch hunts were just that and I think she did a great job of defending herself this week. What I want to know is why a woman who knows that they are out to get her has opened herself to this kind of bull by using a private computer for business reasons? This is the very reason so many companies do not want you to use business computers for private business.
