I’m sorry. This won’t do. I’ve got some deep Vegas action on this Horserace. We can’t have Clinton running around here without something “equivalent” to the folks in the Klown Kar.

It messes up the Spread.

The MSM is still giddily reporting on HRC “tanking” in the polls but somehow seems to have largely buried the two stories here. 1. She had authority to delete her personal emails. 2. There was no attempt to wipe the server in some effort to cover up god-only-knows-what fantasy the RWNJs are pushing at the moment. The MSM has been relentlessly demanding that HRC apologize for something, well, anything. So, when this all goes to the same place as the forgotten WH Xmas card scandale, will HRC get an apology from the MSM. No, they’ll just write more stories about what a bad relationship she has with them all.

The Civil Rights people. The Rosa Parkses and the MLK’s.(whom Evil people like Huck love to reference)…they all DID things, independent of the Press and under more arduous condidtions.

They communicated

By snail mail, telephone and bus.

The MSM is Republican. For reasons tied to who OWNS the MSM.

Being able to fathom that is the key to accepting it, using the data un-emotionally and then using the communication methods available for the People to communicate, organize and ACT.

Just like the blacks (and Latinos and whites) did in the 1950s and 1960s.

Hillary, if she is the nominee, cannot lose…unless the People are simply too asleep and distracted to act.

I don’t give a flying flip about emails, the sever or if they were deemed classified after the fact.

She has my vote!

After all the decades of investigating and smearing her…this is all they’ve got?

Well, we will have…Madam President!

Where’ve you been on this, TPM. This story came out last week on 9/11. I referenced and cited a link in a comment and I even e-mailed you a “news tip.”

Interesting that you should bring that up.

PPP has some polling out today on the matter of JEB!'s, and Gowdy’s, emails.

It seems the people do have a few questions about Bush’s emails.

Bingo. And that was ignored entirely on the Sunday shows.

It really gets to the heart of the matter for me. Let’s not bring up Powell’s emails. Instead let’s discuss every other SoS starting with Jefferson, all the way up to Powell. You know, when they wrote actual paper letters. And determined on their own, what was private and what was state business to be archived. When you look at it through that prism, it becomes a lot clearer how much of a nothing burger is really being discussed here.

That meme started with a suggestion from Trey Gowdy which prompted Ed Henry to ask her the question. It drives me crazy because now we have every Tom, Dick and Harry armchair IT expert explaining that computer files are never really deleted. That’s not how email works.

There appear to be two main ones as best I can tell:

  1. The entire derpology surrounding Benghazi; and

  2. She’s on the take with foreign governments and interests. They posit that her personal emails will show that she used her position as SOS to get major donations to the Clinton Foundation from the foreign interests and that it not only violated the law and her oaths of office but shows that she can’t be trusted, has divided loyalties and has been bought by countries like Iran or on behalf of countries like Iran. For example, the Clinton Foundation set up a fundraising arm in Sweden that collected about $26M in donation from the country’s state lotteries. At the same time, Sweden was lobbying the State Dept. to avoid sanctions on Iran because it would screw up business deals they had. No sanctions issued. The Alex Jones types out there firmly believe this shows without any doubt that she was essentially taking bribes to shape our foreign policies. See here…you can see just how it’s being reported to try to support that conclusion (complete with calling Obama “Mr. Obama” and a full section with one-sided blather from GOPer Rep. Burton complaining about Whitewater):

They need to make the accusations so they can justify using computer forensics experts in their witch hunt.

Sorry, Ralph…that was an explosion of rage. At the MSM

But really and TRULY the fact that for so many people, the MSM

IS reality.

[by the way…I have always had an interest in the British Isles. My Mom’s geneology revealed that not only is she part British but that our name comes from some of the Spanish folks who drifted–after having their behinds kicked by the Armada debacle–to Ireland]

I think you are right about her winning if she is the nominee - I just hope they are queueing up the ammunition against the other side. The goddess knows there is a bevy of ammunition

I still need to understand why the public thinks it is entitled to see her personal emails.

Here’s to the first MSM entity to report on the stupid vultures in the press led by the vicious Republican vultures on the email nonstories.

That is the real story here but they won’t report on it 'cause it takes too much work, honesty and professionalism.
