Google this! Hillary Clinton and the Syrian regime-change conspiracy

"If you’d have said a year ago that the US State Department, Google, and Al Jazeera had been collaborating in pursuance of regime change in Syria, chances are you’d have been casually dismissed as a ‘crank’ and a ‘conspiracy theorist’.
Syria was a people’s uprising against a wicked genocidal Russian-backed dictator and the West had nothing to do with the bloodshed which engulfed the country. If you thought otherwise then you were considered an 'Assad apologist'.

However, thanks to Wikileaks, the Freedom of Information Act, and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a private, non-secure email server, we can see what was really going on behind the curtain."

Interesting stuff

Or would that even matter to you? I'm guessing most of her supporters would just ignore it even if she was in jail.


And because some Hillary supporter will click the alert button after they recover from fainting after seeing something engative about Hillary:

The Terms of Service clearly state "But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats.

Anything remotely negative about the idol Hillary must surely be only a right-wing smear as she is a paragon of virtue, and has never done a shady thing in her life...

Label it what you want. Doesn't change the lack of view you have because your head is in the sand...

I agree that she has criminal liability. Whether Trump does or not, I can't say. If so, I'll take your word on it since you seem to know a lot about his positions on things. A broken clock is right twice a day....

There are plenty of articles out there, it's you that chooses to ignore reality and remain in ignorance. I'm not getting paid to educate someone so willfully ignorant.

Whether she's to be indicted, or not, should depend on the merits of the case and not on her candidacy status.

Otherwise: no proper Rule of Lsw.

If it's Hillary then I have absolutely no interest in volunteeringcontributing at this time. I'll still vote, although at this point it's very unlikely I'd pull the lever for her. And no, not voting for Hillary is not a vote for Trump.
