This INSANE talk here about Hillary being indicted belongs on Frankentrump's Facebook page.

Please, enough of that INSANITY. If people want to parrot INSANE right wing talking points, they should go to The Trump's Facebook page and play there.

1. Two federal judges, the IC AG, the FBI, and the DOS IG all agree. HRC is in trouble.

Perhaps they're all insane? Or just part of a vast Rightwing conspiracy?

14. Agreed. They usually don't conduct investigations for the hell of it.

Usually they suspect criminal activity. She'll probably be cleared, but until that happens she's still under a cloud.

...'coz if anything is "insane," it's thinking that an FBI investigation (not some obviously partisan Congressional witch hunt) doesn't make an indictment very, very possible indeed. You realize these investigations are not undertaken lightly, or without considerable evidence of misdeed, right?

Why not give us someone who doesn't have all this baggage? It's not right wing talking points. It's you closing your eyes to the obvious. It's not too late to go with Bernie who is cleaner than her.

4. The FBI sending dozens of agents to investigate is a cold hard fact

and not a talking point. I doubt it is a wild goose chase, unlike the Benghazi nonsense.

10. Then you'd better start reading up on Bernie

Better still, have an adult read it to you, and they can explain it to you.

Bernie's platform is much more extensive than "Vote for me because I'm a woman and it's my turn. (Pay no attention to my war criminal and corpratist mentors.)



Hillary just loves Henry's wagging finger

Killing the messenger while ignoring the actual charge is a classic right wing tactic from way back.

It has become the go to defense for Clinton supporters lately.

Time will tell.

9. mm-hmm, what's the plan if an indictment drops in October?

sorry, i don't see this as a marginal fringy issue. there are real investigations taking place, and we do not know their outcome.

if people were worried that Hillary was an alien impostor, that would be INSANE. if people were worried that she would herald the new age of Xenu, that would be INSANE. concern about the outcome of an ongoing investigation into the frontrunning candidate for your political party is not. concern that an indictment could wreck her candidacy and leave us stranded with a rightwing government is not an INSANE right wing talking point. all imho, of course.

seriously, what's the gameplan if she gets indicted three weeks before the election?

11. The plan will be to cry conspiracy some more.

I mean that's all they do is deflect and try to trivialize it. The FBI is not some arm of the GOP. Maybe there won't be indictments, but they feel comfortable risking all the things they say are reasons to vote for her like the SC appointments.

If someone does a doc dump of emails Mrs. Clinton managed to wipe off her servers before she turned them over to the authorities?

You can be assured that the Russians, Chinese, Israelis, Iranians, and various and sundry others were tiptoeing through those servers for years -- as was the NSA.
