Hillary Clinton..the new emails.. and the never ending crisis of confidence..

I am already seeing the "concern" about how these last 267 emails will impact her campaign.. (God and the wind only know how much worse she is in everything than the Trump who only called for the dissolution of NATO.. Russia to cyber attack out political system..called people every name in the book.. need I go on??)

Sorry but I cannot get concerned about the damn emails .. they have been investigated to the max..

This is just par for the course for HRC.. and those who will be supporting her.. (that includes me) this is just the way it is.. She is going to get elected and it will never stop.. the thing we all have to do is just keep slugging through it.

Trust me.. I was an Obama supporter for 8 years.. and those of us in the trenches in DU know exactly what having the right wing smears thrown at us by "some" claiming to be left can look like..

And once the election is over said same will be back with a vengeance .. calling her every name in the book.. because it is not about her in the end..

So to all the O'Malley, Sanders, and Clinton people worked so hard in the last year.. it will never be easy.. because some just hate the party.. literally hate the Democratic Party.. and it comes out sideways.. just hang tough folks.. there are more of us than there are of them..

1. They're going to keep dribbling these out throughout the campaign . . .

to damage her. Putin, Assange and Trump are in cahoots on this.

It won't work though as Trumps has already damaged his own campaign beyond repair.

because it has become a model some work off of..and you are right.. trump has shot himself in the foot so many time.. but it will not stop that little brain trust you mentioned.. P.A.T. from trying to smear her as much as they can.. and those who hate the Democratic party taking up their clarion call..

These emails were not released by wikileaks. Rather, a court has ordered the State Department to look for, and release to court, emails that were deleted by HRC's lawyers, but still exist in other people's in boxes, etc.

The State Dept is not being allowed to gather them over a period of time and hand over to the court all at once. Instead the court is requiring them to turn over batches periodically, as they are found.

And, once the court has them, Judicial Watch publishes them.

Again - NOT WIKILEAKS. There are no 'new' wikileaks emails since right before the convention.

Assange keeps hinting that he has more to release, but so far that's all talk.

perhaps it brings some perspective to the crap they keep throwing at hillary.

so her it department didn't keep up with the latest security measures and there might have been some weakly classified documents that theoretically could have been hacked but no evidence that they were and no hint of any harm done?

compare that to asking inviting russia to spy on us, or ask second amendment people to assassinate a rival, or possibly spill top secret information on national t.v.

trump is vastly more dangerous than the worst they've ever accused hillary of.

10. The Email Controversy is a Straw Man

The email "controversy" has always been a manufactured straw man argument, steeped in sexism, to distract from the truly serious issues.

smear machine would be going full speed ahead..... Just look at the way they treated President Obama who did not have such an extensive history in national politics.

We have a nominee who has faced off against these assholes for decades and is still standing and fighting. She knows exactly what they are capable of and I expect she and her team are at least one step ahead of them.

some advice on how to attack Clinton about the new emails. They were all "concerned" that he would go off message with old grievances rather than staying on message to attack her over new emails. LOL, they were all concerned that Hillary would not be sufficiently attacked, framed, and harassed over this new toy they found. This really takes away their credibility, though, as obviously voters don't take their Clinton obsessions seriously.

How the fuck this has to do with her deleted emails is beyond me she isn't cc'd on them and I doubt they were deleted they weren't hers

The rightwing BS is unending and psychotic.

Today, Fox Business News Trish Regan casually mentioned the Clinton Foundation spends the majority of its money on "overhead." Their casual lies are astounding.

everyone. They run a charitable foundation that billionaires contribute to. People network with other people. They have a lot of friends and acquaintances. So what?
