And now we learn she was asked to stop, and she didn't. She ignored them. She ignored everyone.

Here's the problem with Hillary Clinton: if it isn't explicitly spelled out as illegal, with definite prison time, she thinks she's "allowed" to do it. If it's merely against "the rules", she will laugh at that and do her own thing. In other words, she is completely unethical.

But we are coming to the one thing the Clintons always run in trouble with... in their disrespect for ethics, they often refuse to cooperate with authorities during investigations. This is what is called obstruction of justice. And unfortunately for them, that's not merely "unethical" - that's illegal.

When backed into a corner both she & Bill can each be relied upon to play the "It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is card."

In law school we were taught that one can always make an argument on opposite sides of any issue. Whether a judge (bench trial) or jury rejects that argument is the bottom line.

3. And they are always "on". They are in lawyer mode 24/7. You can never know what they really think.

4. Maybe she could trot out that old 90's nugget

"No controlling legal authority"

5. It may or may not have been criminal, but

would ONE Clinton supporter admit she fucked up? Honest to God, it's pathetic that none of the regulars on DU can ever admit she is wrong about anything.

6. Yes- like Bill blocking the voting in

Was it North Carolina?

Anyone else would have been arrestd, but not Bill. He is like a celebrity.
