Hillary isn't going to address it. And, you can bet, she won't take questions from the press Press Virginia May 2016 #26

Although the FBI report will likely include the OIG report, it will go much deeper because of FBIs ability to supoena witnesses and documents, cut deals for immunity, extradite, and have experts examine the servers hard drive etc. The FBI report will be more devastating.

I'm she will be asked. It's never going to go away. I also want to hear from party leaders other than Boxer. It's really poor of her to call this a "nothingburger".

And, Andrea's annoyingly breathless delivery was even more huffy than usual.

They were SO laughably predictable. What else would the oracle Andrea say, who's been trying to find a "devastating" angle on HRC for months?

Claiming everything she did was within the rules and above board.....only to find out she never talked to anyone about her server and refused to have her e-mail included in the State System

Thanks for the link Bob.

Why in the world does the Democratic establishment (aka Superdelegates) continue to insist that they will put up Hillary as the nominee? (It will be their choice, after all.) As stated in that clip, even with what little has already come out (get with it already FBI!), Clinton would be unlikely to be approved to even serve as Attorney General.

Aside from contacting all of our friends and family in California, now would be another GREAT time to contact our Superdelegates to encourage them to do the job that they were created for ... that is to ensure that the MOST electable candidate in November gets the nomination. Hillary is like the polar opposite of that!

So for us Sanders supporters up here in Washington State (Bernie won the official caucus with over 72% of the vote), here are the phone numbers of our seven elected Supers (who theoretically are supposed to work for US !) ...


Sen. Patty Murray : (202) 224-2621

Sen. Maria Cantwell : (202) 224-3441

Gov. Jay Inslee : (360) 902-4111

Rep. Jim McDermott : (202) 225-3106

Rep. Adam Smith : (202) 225-8901

Rep. Rick Larsen : (202) 225-2605

Rep. Denny Heck : (202) 225-9740

Rep. Suzane DelBene : (202) 225-6311

Rep. Derek Kilmer : (202) 225-5916


Let's respectfully let them know how we feel. And not just Washingtonians ... let's ALL of us!!

Come ON now...you must KNOW this is just another RW witch hunt/smear campaign! The media just doesn't want her to win! Who DOESN'T have a server in their basement? Absolutely nothing wrong with it...EVERYONE does it!

Have I forgotten any equally nonsensical talking points?
