Do you really, putting your hand on the Bible, swearing on your most loved one's life, believe

that Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong. She did not lie to the American people and that absolutely EVERYTHING that is being said about her is just right wing propaganda?

Which is funny because last time I checked DUI doesn't require an accident or injury or intent.

Same with Hillary, she circumvented policy and procedures, exposed sensitive information in a reckless and deliberate manner.

Just as an intoxicated driver is guilty largely for the damage that could happen, so are civil servants when they act recklessly.

And for the record, I do not hate a person I do not know from shinola... but to a sycophant that makes no sense.

I believe she mishandled classified info knowingly. I believe she knows none of her aides had security clearances, but she let them deal in classified info. I think the Clinton Foundation laundrrs money and she does pay to play through it. I believe she obstructed justice, lied to investigators, and lied to the President. I believe people were murdered based on her handling of info, both here and abroad and i think most of our enemies now are in possesion of state secrets.


Wait and see..

Most of this is provable from what we know already.

And even when indictments come down, there will be people here denying it.

these problems surrounding her. They are always deflected by sarcasm, blaming the Republicans, attacking Sanders, totally deny deny deny, gloat that she is the winner........no real intelligent, thoughtful, logical answer backed up by facts.

The FBI investigation and the facts brought out by the FBI investigation and now the IG report deserve more than sarcasm and total denial. Is it fathomable that Hillary Clinton supporters are not even a little bit concerned that Hillary Clinton is not the upstanding person that they thought she was. It is not unfair to expect a little more forthrightness from Hillary Clinton supporters. It isn't so much about her winning as it is about the safety and functioning of our country. This isn't a game.

and you're seriously asking me if I think that a woman roughly my age has gone through life without ever doing anything wrong or without lying? Listen, I don't have to know any of the things that she has done wrong to know that she has done many things wrong in her life and that she's told many lies in her life. I assume that I'm communicating with other grownups here.

My question has to do with this email thing. It might be worth my consideration if someone could show me that some significant actual damage has been caused to this country or to some person by some mistake that she's made. But, whenever I ask for that I get nothing specific.

I know before I begin that every one of these human beings who are running for president this year have made mistakes, have crossed legal boundaries and have lied to people in their lives. If anything that these people have done is serious and has resulted in significant actual damage to the country or to other people, I am willing to consider it. But, please don't waste your time trying to convince me that any of these folks are not human beings.

"I really like this candidate and want them to win so I can look past certain things. Meh. If my candidate's opponent had done the same thing, there may be hell to pay." I think that sums it up.

My biggest problem with Hillary is the same one I have with Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. That is, you'll never hear them actually apologize if they did something wrong. For example, they slam the door on someone's hand and instead of saying "I'm so sorry that I hurt you." they would say something like "I'm sorry that your hand was hurt in the door."
