As Rachael Maddow commented about six months ago, if Hillary found the cure for cancer, some would still go out of their way to criticize it

He was a prolific anti-Hillary poster during the primary, I see that old habits die hard.

"Abuela" and it's use in any other context other than what it, you know actually means. Seems there was a kerfuffle a while back over the term.

More to your topic, I am so glad this FBI-email nonsense is nearly over. My husband was accidentally watching "The 700 Club" (he gets a monthly infusion for his multiple sclerosis) and learned more about how the obnoxious RW uses this to demonize Hillary then he ever wanted to. I had to talk him down.

I asked him, why were you watching the 700 club? "It was what they had on"

He always brings his iPad for entertainment but the extreme..views..I guess you'd call them caught his his attention

4. Not surprised... She insisted she cooperated with the IG before the OIG report came out...
View profile
And that turned out to be a lie according to the OIG report, so I wouldn't imagine her cooperating with the FBI.

Maybe my Abuela was discussing her grandchildren? Ya Basta!


Can you please share with the rest of the members of this board how suggesting Hillary Clinton is a liar fulfills the mission the Administrator has established for this board:


We want people to stop bashing Hillary Clinton and also Bernie Sanders
It is going to be much harder for the members of this website to come together if we keep bashing former primary candidates or their supporters. We are Democrats and we are all Clinton supporters now. Our opponents are Donald Trump and the Republican Party. So starting threads to attack Clinton supporters or Sanders supporters makes no sense, and it is also counter-productive.

Having said that, I'm so very glad this interview is finally, FINALLY done. She's not been shy about wanting to do it and get it over with.

In any case, it signals that the FBI is about done with the investigation. We should hear from that agency fairly soon, I'd think.

Hillary may comment on it at any time, too.

Seems like a straightforward question.

Who did Secretary Clinton "put in their place" and why?

Why would one public servant want to put another public servant "in their place" and why?

I am reading HRC now.

Read a couple of books about Putin's Russia before that. What a unpleasant place to live.... Also read a couple of books by North Korean defectors. That place is even more unpleasant.

If you want to see a kleptocracy or oligarchy look to Putin's Russia. When the USSR broke up all the major industries were sold to a few billionaires...

Three and a half hours seems like a long time to "not cooperate."

I wonder if that is reliable?

I'm very relieved to see that this hurdle is out of the way.

I imagine that we will hear from the FBI regarding this investigation--very soon. The LA Times reported at the end of March that the investigative groundwork was finished, and all that was left to do was interview Clinton's aids and Clinton.

I am guessing that the interview with Clinton was the period at the end of the sentence.

I think everyone can agree that the FBI's recommendations to the DOJ can't come soon enough.
