This issue is so important, and I think it's imperative that ALL DEMOCRATS understand what is happening. Denial doesn't help here.
When Hillary supporters scream "BENGHAZI!!!", I do not blame them, for that is exactly how this all began.
Benghazi led to the server, which led to the emails, which led to the FBI, which led to classified information and Blumenthal and the aides and the Clinton Foundation, which led to immunity, which may have already led to a grand jury (no one is really certain about that as far as I can ascertain). That's how these things work. How quickly one forgets that the impeachment of Bill Clinton began with Whitewater. All it takes is some girl-talk and a stained blue dress and, there ya go!
One can always say that the initial search for the damnable information is bogus, unfair, targeting - all valid arguments! But that doesn't take away from the fact that if "they" poke around long enough, "they" will eventually find something. Unfortunately, I think the Clinton's live in an alternate reality that makes them particularly vulnerable. One could say they ask for it to a certain degree because they seem to act as if rules do not apply to them.
In any case, the results could be disasterous for the Dems. I do not think that Hillary will get indicted, but others will. Another Dick Cheney - Scooter Libby scenario. I feel for those who were so faithful and worked so hard for her. On the other hand, having worked in the world of government classified information, the utter disregard for protocol is staggering. I know first hand how our enemies procure information, and Hillary and her staffers would have to have known that as well. They made themselves and others vulnerable on so many levels. Did people die from this? We do not know, but it is quite possible. People are sitting in jail for "mistakes" much milder than this. It's big.
The part that worries me the most is the deafening silence on this topic from the MSM. I worry so much that they will begin to talk about it when it is too late for the democrats. It sometimes seems to me that - for whatever reason - the MSM has chosen Trump.
