Grassley Hits Back At Clinton: 'The FBI's Going To Question Her'

By Seung Min Kim
03/28/16 01:44 PM EDT

ESTHERVILLE, Iowa — Sen. Chuck Grassley preemptively swung back at Hillary Clinton ahead of her expected Monday speech in which she's expected to hammer the Judiciary Committee chairman for his role in blocking the confirmation of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.

“With all the troubles she’s getting on e-mail, and the FBI’s going to question her, I would imagine she’d want to change the tone of her campaign,” Grassley (R-Iowa) told POLITICO in an interview here. He was apparently referring to a Los Angeles Times story Monday that indicated an FBI investigation of the private email server she used as secretary of state is entering a final phase that will include interviews with her advisers.

The Democratic presidential front-runner is poised to criticize Grassley during a speech later Monday at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The two have a contentious history: Grassley has led probes into Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state.

Grassley said Clinton’s comments would have no bearing on his plans not to hold confirmation hearings for Garland.

“I want to spend my time on doing things we’re going to accomplish and you know ahead of time that this isn’t going to be approved,” Grassley said, referring to Garland being confirmation. “So spend your time on things that …we can do in a bipartisan way instead of in a partisan way.”

There almost certainly will be an indictment; the Retughs will see to that.

Once that happens, you can bet your keyboard that Crassley will wait until after the conventions to drag her through endless Senate hearings - while Trump sails through the campaign season, looking like a million bucks.

Or I should say, a billion.

And the serious precedent this has set for future administrations, even if you are unwilling to. Further, server aside - I'm able to read, and took the time to read many emails. I was appalled to see how she went against Obama, and worked with indiciduals he was clear he did not want involved in his administration. Even worse, she took bad advice from them, and used that to make bad decisions that ultimately were not good for our country (unless you feel ISIS occupying Libya was a good thing). Only further leading to the deterioration of the region.

So, on the contrary. While you sit in a dark room with ear plugs in, ignoring reality, playing victim & blaming others every time the light is turned on, or the music is cranked up louder. The rest of the Democratic Party, will be left to suffer the cost of her reckless mistakes.

So again I say, thank you Hillary.

I am predicting "personal business or family health issues" before the end of May, while he is predicting nominee at the convention.

We even picked a nice restaurant. Should be a win for both of us.

I saw you bragging that you had never, ever attacked either of our candidates.

I described this to you in my reply to your very ill-considered private message (I meant it--don't write to me again), and I meant what I said. You're in violation of the terms of service of this site when you repeatedly impugn the character of other members of the site. And more important than some dusty old TOS language, you're acting like some goon who stepped out of the pages of Orwell's 1984. Stop it. Do consider criticizing a candidate if that's what it takes for you to stop personally attacking DUers. Or don't, whatever. But stop with the personal attacks.

Quit trying to analyze things that you're either too stupid or too subjective to get right. That's why I replied to you in the first place, and you're doing it again now. So sit down and stop with your whiny little freakout. To be clear, I was telling you I would be watching for you to personally attack others again and smear them. And if I see that, I will take action. Guess what kind of action, Sherlock? The ALERT kind, that's what. I don't know you, your real name, your place of residence, or anything else about you. Additionally, I have no wish to garner state or federal charges for committing crimes. So I ask you, Dr. Einstein, what made it feel to you as though I was communicating a threat of physical violence? Which words? I detest the living shit out of weak and dishonest people who try to get their dishonest shots in, and then hide behind some other piece of dishonesty in order to get by with it (as in, "you sound like you're threatening me&quot .

Lastly, you need to know you're not putting me on the defense for shit. You're the lowlife who made baseless accusations against another member, telling them you believed them to be a Trump voter. I won't put up with filthy liars. Don't ever fucking write to me again.

Hillary's criminal stupidity has NOTHING to do with Sanders; he will continue to battle in every state until the convention. If he doesn't have enough delegates to clinch it before then, and Hillary bows out for "personal reasons", then the convention folk will have to figure out who we put up. My guess is that it will be Sanders, but it's a convention, so we will see.

Well, at least we can keep our sense of humor about the situation.

Say, did you hear that Lying Ted had five different mistresses, and there are naked pictures of Trump's wife floating around the Internet?

What a Primary season!

Interesting how Grassley is wooing Bernie supporters. If Bernie doesn't win, who knows, maybe a few of them will vote Republican.

She is smart enough to know that official government email is directed towards a server devoted to that purpose for a reason. She did what she is accused of and expects sympathy and support from people who will defend a Clinton on any RW accusation because they just have a vendetta. Yeah, they have a vendetta. But if She and Bill want to make it easy for them to pursue it, they deserve what they get.

• Having that support result in one's husband getting hundreds of thousands in speaking fees is not


(I don't include the additional $million dollar Clinton Foundation donations in that criticism, but they are, at best, ill-conceived and blur the lines) If you are going to support your country's industries, do it without any strings. Is that so difficult? Is supporting the country you are employed to support without strings such a stretch?
