Oh, Look, A Hit Piece

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e19abf78b6fe43e7b7719f059901630d/apnewsbreak-govt-finds-top-secret-info-clinton-emails

I won't quote, of course. But please note that the e-mails were NOT classified top secret when on the server, they have been classified as top secret NOW.

On a Friday. Before the first Primary.

I smell a rat, but that's fairly typical. I did note that Mrs. Clinton has stated that one e-mail classified Top Secret was taken from a public news piece released at the time.

I'm firmly convinced that she can weather this--the public is used to ridiculous accusations that turn out to be nothing. And this one will turn out to be nothing.

seen lots of hit pieces last hour or so on the email saga.

I am sure ALL will show up in gd-p--each one several times between now and next Monday.
So sad DU has to follow the RW with hit pieces on a good Democrat.

Because it's the GOP turn in the WH, far as they are concerned.

As long as the GOP can get Trump out of the way,
something that the media is currently working on....
the GOP establishment candidate (Rubio) still has a chance

and as long as they can get Hillary out of the way,
Rubio then has an even better than excellent chance.

It will be Rubio and Kasics(as VP) - aka Florida and Ohio.

The GOP believe they are now nearly home free,
with the "coincidental" drop of the emails story, 3 days before the first Caucus.
They cannot control everything, but they can control providing Sanders
with as much momentum as they can possibly.....as they need him to win Iowa.

It's elementary political 101.

If the media is as powerful as I believe they are,
we can only brace ourselves when thinking of the future of this country.

I support Hillary Clinton precisely because she is the only one that can save us from what a GOP trifecta will mean
to most of us......

And with that said, we shall see.
