DVRacer's JournalOk I have been reading up on the Email saga and still unsure what magnitude it really is.
I know a lot of folks here are broken down on this issue based on whose camp they belong to. I just want to know for myself how real or imagined the fallout will be. I have read everything that I can find on the web from every angle and with the filter of my Navy Intel experience have come to a few questions and very few solid answers.
1. Who had authority to approve the use for State Department officials to use a private email server system?
2. What were the systems administrators plans to comply with FOIA?
3. Why was a permanent IG not in place during Secretary Clinton's tenure, and why was one appointed immediately following her departure?
I believe the person that will ultimately take the biggest "hit" will be Patrick Kennedy and that is because he failed our President. In his handling of all of this, Secretary Clinton will also be hurt. My overall question is what will be the magnitude 2.0 - 9.9
This release today makes wonder how deep this will end up.

Mr. Kennedy would be the FBI interview I would of everyone involved like to be a fly on the wall for. I think his will be most telling.
If a response to this is left I would prefer it be based on which camp you are in and fact based.
I supported Bernie in our primary and now support Secretary Clinton as we move forward towards formal nomination. I just honestly don't want things to blowup later on and have it shoved in my face by family that would love to gloat.
Cruz drops out!
And another goes down.

Ok before we are at each other's proverbial throats tonight
Let's attempt to have some fun and be nice to the "other side"
To play you must state three things you like about both Hllary and Bernie.
Also see if you can find a quote from each that made you smile and proud they are on your side.
1. That climate change is real
2. Minimum wage is too low
3. All people should be treated equally and fairly
"…freedom is never granted. It is earned by each generation… in the face of tyranny, cruelty, oppression, extremism, sometimes there is only one choice. When the world looks to America, America looks to you, and you never let her down… I have never lost faith in America's essential goodness and greatness…" - Hillary Clinton
"What happens in Syria, for example, there's some thought about this. When you have drought, when people can't grow their crops, they're going to migrate into cities and when people migrate into cities and when they don't have jobs, there's going to be a lot more instability, a lot more unemployment and people will be subject to the types of propaganda that Al Qaeda and ISIS are using right now and so where you have discontent you have instability, that's where problems arise and certainly without a doubt, a climate change will lead to that." - Bernie Sanders
Please don't use disabled veterans in this war.
We have given enough.
I can't speak for all of us but I can speak for myself for sure.
I am/was behind Bernie but as I posted last week or so he is not going to be our nominee. Ok that's my thoughts on that.
What I am posting about is using veterans to go after Bernie as some defacto head of the VA. He is not and he and President Obama have been our greatest champions in D.C. Helping bring an old system into the 21st century and deal with an influx we haven't seen since WWII.
Please do not use me as a pawn to score political points myself and other veterans deserve better.
I won't call out the OP that causes me to write this I'd rather see it sink than draw attention to it. I just find it vulgar.
Trumps VP pick will be Susana Martinez of New Mexico
According to someone that leaked from inside the campaign.
This could be tough to overcome based on what little I know of her.

Anyone know more about her?
*Update* the vetting at OU is where the leak came from
Eric Harris's murderer found guilty
A jury has returned a guilty verdict in the Bob Bates trial after three hours of deliberations.
On Wednesday morning, the judge told the jury it was allowed to choose between second-degree manslaughter and excusable homicide.
The jury convicted him and recommended the maximum four years in prison.

Congratulations Mrs. Clinton on securing the nomination - please read
Now if you wanna go checkout my previous post history knock yourself out but I'm a Bernie guy voted for him here in Oklahoma months ago.
So let's all be real with ourselves folks the voters have spoken on both sides and whether you like it or not the ballot this November will show.
R - Donald J Trump
D - Hillary Rodham Clinton
Now what do we do? Continue to argue and bicker? No we fight for what's best for the country.
You remember the country right, America the real home team. No D's or R's the whole country from sea to shining sea. Now do I prefer the choices above nope not gonna sugar coat it I think they stink. Doesn't matter what I think personally I have to check my feelings at the door on this one, but that does not mean I don't still have a choice to make in November. I have to put my country first and that means supporting Mrs. Clinton going forward. Our country deserves better than me being mad and staying home. Handing the Oval Office to the narcissistic dumbass could have similar ramifications as what happened in 1980. So I ask everyone to please refrain from being bitter and sometimes hateful over the outcome. We are better than this and right now America needs us to unite and save her from harm. What is coming is real and we may lose but I will be damned if I'm giving her up without a fight. Be real with yourself and reflect on the America you want next year and for generations to come. It's not about Bernie or Clinton anymore it's about the United States of America.
When Hillary finally apologizes to me or my unit then I may support her.
Yes, you read that right she owes me personally an apology for her Bosnia story. I say this because my job at the time was as an Intelligence Specialist assigned to the area. I was on the team that gave the plane the go ahead to land that the area was secure. General William Nash called my Chief Claire to verify, Chief then asked my group and we kinda looked at each other and said of course it's secure. Why did we answer this way? Because the war in Bosnia ended in 1995, and that by 1996, shooting of any kind was unlikely to happen. Moreover, the Tuzla area was a Serb-controlled area, which makes a sniper fire even more unlikely as snipers were mainly active in the urban areas where civilians were trapped under Serb/ Croat nationalist’s siege – such as Sarajevo and Mostar.
So, until I get a true blue "I'm Sorry" I can not and will not support her for any office.
My other question is if it were you in my shoes would you?
This is the only time I will bring this up, after this until she says the words I'm done with it and her.
