as a former member of the military who had a top secret security clearance, had anyone done what Hillary has done, they would have been in prison YEARS ago, for a long term sentence.

If anyone today, starts today to do what she has done, and got caught, they'd go to prison.

Now, it's one thing to support your candidate, whoever that may be, but it's quite another to deny this is a serious investigation and not a "security review".

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

To clarify my "no dog in this fight" comment, if I admit I support Hillary, I'll be attacked by Bernie supporters. If I admit I support Bernie, I'll be attacked by Hillary supporters. I enjoy the every day back and forth here and want no part of alerts, arguments and mean spirited talk, so I keep my mouth shut.

This is NOT a condemnation of Hillary, I'm simply stating that anyone else, not named Clinton, would be doing hard time.

1. Exactly.She absolutely would be fired already if not for who she is.

and if she is able to walk,[which she will]. that will say so much about the state of our govt. now.

[Squinch]

2. And what, exactly, would that be that she did that would have put her in prison? Let me guess:

you can't tell us because of your top secret security clearance.

[shadowrider]

3. My clearance expired about 1980

It doesn't take away from the FBI investigation (not security review).

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

[MADem]

12. You weren't emailing anyone when your clearance expired.

Unless you were one of a small cadre on ARPANET, and that wasn't a classified platform.

And your command didn't have any "IT" divisions either.

Classified Material Control has come a long way 36 years.

Also, in case you are unclear, Hillary Clinton was not in the military. In fact, as first chair in the cabinet, her department took precedence over DOD. All that notwithstanding, the rules and regulations for DOD are not the same as those for the Department of State. It's not "one size fits all."

There was no requirement for Clinton to use State Department equipment while she was SECSTATE. Those rules changed AFTER she departed.

The Republicans are invested in this charade, and Gowdy Doody time as well. I do agree with Bernie Sanders on one issue: Nobody cares about her damn emails.

[sharp_stick]

4. He probably saw all those emails

that the Russian hacker dude says that he got.

[shadowrider]

5. Yes. That's it. You win a prize

except for those e-mails that cannot be released because they threaten national security.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Since email has not really been in existence for centuries, a lot has transpired.

Now as a military man, Colin Powell was a military man for many years, rose in rank and was SOS also. He used email sources which was not protected. Sent email thru those unprotected sources, had emails which was not classified when sent and later the classification was changed. In fact recently he even spoke about number of classified changes. I am not sure he has been "indicted' and sentenced to prison, just saying.

[Squinch]

18. He doesn't count. Because reasons.

[Thinkingabout]

20. Another double standard huh, got it.

[Aristus]

7. I'm calling horse manure.

Republicans in Congress have been slavering like rabid dogs, desperately trying to find anything, anything, which which to charge Hillary Clinton. They couldn't. They couldn't even make something up that was plausible enough to stick.

So if Republicans in Congress weren't able to charge her with a crime, I'm not going to trust their disingenuous surrogates on DU.

[FLPanhandle]

8. So you have completed your investigaton, decided the case as a one man jury, and passed sentance?

Amazing.

Aren't you special?

[George II]

9. For about the 10-millionth time, Hillary Clinton did NOTHING illegal - NOTHING. She will....

....NEVER be "indicted", charged with a crime, or censured. Get over it.

[Squinch]

15. Maybe this is about Area 51. You know, with all that high level security clearance and all.

[LiberalArkie]

19. Nothing will happen to HRC. She is at the level where nothing could happen to her. If Jamie

Diamond shot and killed someone on 5th Ave on national TV, nothing would happen to him. If a SOS or president was to lie for economic reasons to get the U.S. into a war, nothing would happen to them.

If there were movies of Bill Clinton with a 12 year old, nothing would happen to him.

Nothing happens to people of that level. It makes no difference if she broke the law or not, nothing will happen.

[Thinkingabout]

22. More RW talking point?

[LiberalArkie]

23. More left wing really. How much time did Cheney or Powell or GWB serve?

[Thinkingabout]

24. Yes there is a lot of LW with RW sources.

[StayFrosty]

10. How long has this investigation been going on?

You'd think that by now, if she were guilty as some here are saying, then she should have been indicted months ago

This is turning out be Benghazi 2.0

[Jemmons]

16. We know (by admission) that the Benghazi committee was driven by political motivations

Are you suggesting that the Federal Bureau of Inquiry is in it for political reasons?

[beastie boy]

21. The FBI being in it for political reasons is not a suggestion. It's a fact.

They are investigating Hillary's server at the politically motivated request of politically motivated Trey Gowdy and his committee whose members openly admitted to being in it for political reasons.

[Laurian]

11. For someone with "no dog in this fight", you sure

dumped a lot of bullshit on one particular candidate and you absolutely did write a condemnation of Hillary.

....and closing your post by saying, "I keep my mouth shut" is absurd.

This makes no sense.

[LaydeeBug]

13. Bullshit. Plain and simple. nt

[TeamPooka]

14. This should be in GD-P

[Mosby]

17. i sent an alert

The jury voted 3-4 to leave the OP.
