March 5, 201511 yr Are we ignoring that a republican house panel on Benghazi found no administrative wrongdoing? When one side continues to through anything and everything out there in hopes of having sometbinj stick, yes, most people will see it as a "crusade" to destroy someone. And it doesn't matter which side is doing what, after a while on attacks towards one person gets old when nothing has stuck, again what did the republican house panel find?....... Not ignoring anything. Just pointing out that over time it went to the back burner for everyone. And let's not act like they didn't fumble the ball out of the gate with Benhgazi, they opened the door for that one.

How could any real investigation of Benghazi (1) not include an interview with HRC and (2) not figure out that she was using a personal email account instead of a government account. The Benghazi investigation was a complete joke...and if the Republicans were in charge of the investigation, shame on them. Hopefully, Trey Gowdy gets to the bottom of this.

I believe we're now on Benghazi investigation No. 8.
March 5, 201511 yr I believe we're now on Benghazi investigation No. 8. I'd rather have one REAL one than the bunch of jokes we have had. I will ask again, how can a real investigation of Benghazi (1) NOT include at least an interview with the then Sec of State (HRC) and (2) not IMMEDIATELY figure out that her emails were on her home computer and not on the governments? The fact that neither of the above occurred proves the previous investigations were a joke.
March 5, 201511 yr Obama holds Clinton's political future in his hands. I imagine there's a LOT of behind the scenes activity going on with Obama extracting promises from Bill & Hill. Her saving grace will be that Obama really wants another Dem to follow him in office and after Hillary the leading contenders are The Three Stooges of Biden, Warren and Sanders.
March 5, 201511 yr Seeing as the White House just said they didn't know Clinton was using a private email your comment doesn't hold water. Either the adminsitration is lying or it wasn't public knowledge. Powell is irrelevant to the conversation because new regulations were put forth in 2009 and a stricter law in 2014 . Clinton time fell under the 2009 guidelines which she didn't follow. Want to try again ? Read more than the headlines...from the Washington Post "At the State Department, spokeswoman Marie Harf said, “there was no prohibition on using a non-state.gov account for official business, as long as it’s preserved.” “In the process of updating our records management — this is something that’s sort of ongoing given technology and the changes — we reached out to all of the former secretaries of state to ask them to provide any records they have,” she said. Clinton was the only former secretary to send back e-mail records in response to the department’s request, Harf said." Like I said; I agree that all emails should be saved. Heck, I'm a dem and ain't sold on Hillary, but it's hard to hold someone accountable for something that wasn't common practice.

She created her own server to personally control oversight out of the government oversight. Now Politico is reporting she likely violated a 2005 State Department policy as well because of the server. By the way in 2012 the Hillary led state department ripped an Ambassador for using a private email for official business . So we know she likely violated a 2005 policy and we know she violated a 2009 policy. We also know she had selected emails to turnover. We also know she accepts corrupt foreign donations from China. I wonder if she communicated about the donations on this email while Secretary of State. You can try to keep down playing this story but it's not going away and it's only the tip of the iceberg of corruption stories surrounding the Clinton's over the next 18 months. The woman has been corrupt since she was fired from Watergate.

March 6, 201511 yr Wasting time arguing with democrats here . The majority of them don't care what she's done , they will pull the lever no matter what . And won't attempt backing another candidate .
March 6, 201511 yr Since this information was initially reported by the NYT, usually more "friendly" toward the progressives, it's my thoughts that there's a potential candidate that's preferred so they're willing to throw Mrs Clinton under the bus. JMO
March 6, 201511 yr Imagine how corrupt America looks to the world. Relatively tame by global standards. Openness is essential to a healthy democracy, but this is hardly massive corruption that would make other countries shudder. However, this country is seriously scrutinized by everyone and so even this will be hugely criticized... and rightly should be.
March 6, 201511 yr If they were 200K emails and she only handed over 55K how do we really know just how massive this corruption really is ? Thats why the proper handling of info is a serious matter and its written into law that evidently career politician and lawyer Mrs Clinton chose not to follow . But I'm sure you know that . Or what if there were on 58K emails but she erased the damaging 3K ones ? The whole thing stinks .. and I'll be around -hopefully- to remind everyone of it when the old bag gets elected by people who ought to know better .
