Its rat fuckery. I won't stand for it done to me or to any of my honorably serving/having served brothers or sisters. I don't have to like her to respect her service.
Don't get me wrong: I hope she is primaried and beaten buy a better Democratic candidate in her district over her shameful "present" vote. I don't anticipate her making it through the Presidential primaries either and I think that will be a good thing.
There's enough wrong with her politics that we surely don't need to gin up serious lies about her abusing her security clearances.
Some people are good soldiers and terrible politicians, what can I say.
