There would be problems no matter who the candidate is. I doubt this will be an issue in her campaign at all, Those of us here who pay attention might think so, but average joe voter will not and this will be long gone by 2016. Secretaries of State before her did the same thing.

The repukes will manufacture an issue if there isn’t one. Look what they did to Obama (and still do) yet he was elected and re-relected, If Hillary is smart, she would hire Axelrod and Plouffe if she wants ti run a brilliant campaign. I am surprised she hasn’t seen that herself.

I am a federal employee and anyone in the federal government could have determined that Secretary Clinton was not using the government e-mail when they received an e-mail from her. I have e-mailed myself from my personal e-mail to the federal (.gov) e-mail and it showed that the sender was my personal e-mail. That e-mail is also automatically backed up on the government server. So what is the issue now, because she is running for president? I read an article that MSNBC is chattering about Mrs. Clinton e-mail issue more than Fox or CNN. Morning Joe has Mika Brzezinski who has supported Elizabeth Warren, she just smiles at Joe when he rants about the criminal act commented by Mrs. Clinton. On MSNBC others support Bernie Sanders, others say that Hillary still has to explain her vote for the Iraq war. I also think it’s strange that now our politicians must be TECH savvy. I think she just wanted to have one system, not have to sign into two systems, change her passwords on two systems, etc. But it’s Hillary, so it is a crime.

Just like Fox is fair and balanced when it involves Mrs. Clinton. Also, New York Times had a “scoop” when anyone who got an e-mail would know about the e-mail came from a private account and not .gov.

I have no problem with you urging caution and care. That said, I just don’t see this as a scandal. All of the thousands of people who received her emails saw the non-.gov address. It was hardly secret. Even the House GOP knew about this months ago… they just waited to make an issue about it.

I don’t know what e-mail client Obama or any of Hillary Clinton’s other correspondents used, but it’s entirely possible that the In box displays the sender’s name, not the sender’s e-mail address. If the “display” name on Hillary’s clintonemail.com account was the same as it would have been on her state.gov account, I don’t think any of her recipients should be faulted for not knowing the precise provenance of her messages.

Again, I am on the .gov. It shows the e-mail address.

The concern from a campaigning perspective however is just how long of a run are we talking?

It’s already is a big nothing. The only people who “care” are the usual suspects in the media because they’re too lazy to report on real issues or they’re pimping it for propaganda purposes. Any day now Obama will order the wrong kind of mustard or a hot blonde college girl will go missing and the media will move on to pretending to give a shit about some other non-story.

Yawn.

Don’t forget the other RWNJ talking points: feckless, socialist, Muslim, Kenyan and a dictator!!!

Good grief, the man has stood up to Putin and Netanyahu. This “limp” (whatever the hell that means) description is lame, reactive, ignorant bullshit.

Isn’t the “I found out about it in the news” excuse wearing a little thin?
How can a president be so uninformed?
Are those he hired so incompetent as to keep him uninformed?
If so, why are they still there?

The reason I “tipped and recced” this is because I think you get to the heart of the matter.

The Clintons (both of them) have had to endure ridiculous amounts of ruthlessness. Some of it was self-inflicted and some was unbridled opposition hatred. Doesn’t matter. She should know by now but the fact is, she’s not a skilled politician. She IS a skilled statesman.

I think one of the reason’s this will be a big problem for her isn’t because it’s a return to “slick Willie” as it’s breeding ground for the idea of dubiousness (if there is such a word - probably not) in people’s eyes.

If “limp” means overseeing the death of Osama bin Laden, 5.5% unemployment rate, the end of a completely worthless war, a major economic turnaround after one of the worst recessions in American history and me getting health insurance despite a serious pre-existing condition and all done with by far the most useless and obstructive Congress in American history, I’ll take it.

B-b-b-ut Benghazi Obamaphones!

This morning in The Daily Beast http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/08/time-for-hillary-clinton-to-crank-up-her-campaign-now.html:

"Indeed, her challenges begin most fundamentally with keeping Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren from jumping in the race.

“I’m in.”

Warren’s email seemingly hinted at a presidential run, all the while firing another shot across Clinton’s bow. In fact, she had only meant to suggest (at least for the time being) that she was prepared to lead the battle against the Republican agenda. Warren has previously said that she will not be a presidential candidate in 2016.

But you can’t help wonder whether Warren is reconsidering, especially bearing in mind the noncommittal answer she gave recently when asked about Clinton’s candidacy. “I want to hear what she wants to run on and what she says she wants to do,” she said of Hillary on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show. “That’s what campaigns are supposed to be about.”
So said Elizabeth Warren last week, in an email to her supporters, on the heels of Hillary Clinton’s latest attempt to mollify the left wing of the Democratic Party."

The false narrative that Warren is some sort of fringe far left candidate is being actively PROMOTED BY THE CLINTON CAMP. Its reminiscent of the racist whistle campaign they ran against Obama. I and many others are simply dreading another Clinton run and hope with a passion that this email scandal forces her out early – but I think she will stay in even as we see it drags down the entire party and loses us the White House.

It never meant anything before and it still doesn’t. The law has changed/just become(?) and now its being followed. That’s about all that there is to it.

John Boener just got owned by Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats stood tall and won, McConnell pre-caved and the teabaggers are the feckless ones. These details are conveniently being ignored while the faux world of news is being created. Even Faux is the news by virtue of their #1 reporter being a lying sack of shit and them backing him 100% anyway.

When the scandal hungry and useless news media talk Hillary, realize that they are really just avoiding the real news. The Democrats are running the nation and the opposition is lying about it and everything else.
