Hillary's email problem

[MariaThinks]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).

This email problem has been overblown to hurt Hillary - mostly by the desparate republicans who probably held a focus session and decided that this was a way to bring her popularity down.

How do I know this?

Logically, what is the accusation? She had a private email server set up? Most other politicians have done the same thing. Her emails are around if anyone wants to retrieve them - as evidenced by the fact that the emails are being found (this is like the bullshit bush arguments that Hussein was very powerful but we could destroy him in a day).

Nothing has been reported about any wrongdoing in the emails themselves. If she wanted to do something, I think she was rich enough (you know from her speaking fees) to buy her own private smart phone.

8. Will it still be funny if she is indicted during the general?

Or if she is let off the hook showing the two class legal system which will also let the pukes win. (Not that I think. she can win anyway because the republicans know all of the ways to cheat too.)

2. you need to read up some

The issues are way more complicated than you assert.

She ordered staff to alter classified documents by copying the text to plain paper that did not have the classification markings that would prevent transmission.

Read that again a few times.

That is just one of the problems.

4. One congratulated her for getting Obama to bomb Libya

Costing how many lives. When asked later about it, she just said it was his decision.
She is a security risk. Anyone else would be locked up.
Her foreign policy experience is nothing more than a clusterfuck of poor decisions and manipulation for personal gain.

5. i don't think anyone else would be locked up

if Obama did not bomb Libya, Qadaffy's military was positioned to destroy an entire village. That would have cost a lot of lives as well.

6. I meant for her security breach

Sorry, I get ahead of myself.

11. LOL - and just where did you find

that little gem? In Freeperville, no doubt.

[MariaThinks]

14. and what would be the objective?

as many people have already said, she makes so much money from her speeches and stuff, what would be the objective of changing documents? What she after?

16. ask the FBI

She wanted to send classified material on her private server. To circumvent the law. Precisely why the FBI is investigating.

[MariaThinks]

20. that's a supposition and a right wing talking point

3. She brought this on herself. Period.

End of excuses.

7. Wow. Such willful ignorance of facts

The specific accusations are about sending classified information and the overall handling of classified information.

In some cases, the assumption of some in Hillary's camp seems to be that if they copied textual information from classified documents, that the textual information is not classified, only the document was. In others, information that should be "presumed classified" or 'born classified" was released.

In addition to the mishandling, this information was also released to non-gov't entities indicating corruption.

The private server aspect complicates matters because thousands of emails were purposely deleted AND someone they sent classified information to was hacked. There is also considerable thought that her own server was hacked.

There are people currently in jail for less than was done in this case. There is a reason 100+ FBI agents are assigned to this and they are carefully pursuing this case.

9. and she either needs to step aside now...

....or we need to pray for that investigation to finish before the convention.

The American people deserve a clean candidate.

15. there is an anti-Hillary lynch mob mentality - bush and his crew would openly discuss

what seemed to be confidential information - Valerie Plame's identify - and there was less stuff thrown against cheney

I've asked for specifics from some anti-Hillary friends and all they can say are lies made up by right wing evangelist types - nothing more specific.

when you watch republicans on tv, all they say is 911 and all nod knowingly, or email and again the knowing code worded responses. If they say it enough people will just believe there is a lot there.

10. If you've received an official update on the FBI investigation, please let us know.

If not, you have no idea what has or has not been overblown.
