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?

(3,332 posts)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.

(54,770 posts)consequence, as the digital equivalent of jaywalking is not a serious offense . . . . . . and I'm not even sure that happened (just playing your silly game for a moment).
Just not a big deal except in desperate Berners' minds.

With a person who had NO CLEARANCE, and remember, HIS ACCOUNT was penetrated by GUCCIFER. Who else? We will never know.
By the way, you want your party to commit suicide, by nominating a weak, not gifted politician, she used words to that effect, who now has a legal exposure? Fine by me, Here is the loaded and cocked gun. Go ahead, commit political suicide. just do not blame the people who tried to stop you.

You keep hoping, oh and please careful with the gun. It is loaded, and cocked. If you guys want to commit political suicide, by all means, go ahead... Just don't blame the people who tried to warn you for months now, almost a year.

predictable and infantile, But I am serious, your fucking party wants to commit suicide, go fucking right ahead, When you help elect Trump... don't blame the people who tried to warn you. Historians will not be hind and I will hold you, and the rest of the sycophants, responsible.
Gun is on the table, It is loaded, go ahead.
And for the record, I do not hate a person I do not know from shinola... but to a sycophant that makes no sense.
Go ahead, gun is there. Use it or don't, not my issue at this point.
What is my issue is that you guys will have to choose, party, country... I expect you in particular to chose party.

(10,943 posts)...most others get away with their lies. I don't think she "lies" more often than other politicians. She and all the rest use that political lawyer-ish-speak. People parse her every word and investigate every move she makes. It took around five investigations to show she did not murder Vince Foster and people still think she killed him! I think it's a combination of her being female and progressive.

(39,215 posts)and Bill have been skating on the edge since the 80s. This time I think she went too far and she is in real trouble.
By skating on the edge I mean that they have been doing anything they can to get what they want and it is both morally wrong and really bad judgement.

(517 posts)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.

(786 posts)openly and honestly with it really meaning something. If I had a lie detector test, believe me I would use it because I don't believe, for one second that most of the Hillary Clinton supporters believe that she is being persecuted by anybody. I believe that most are turning a blind eye, in deep denial or just plain don't care and if there is ANY moral fibre left, go ahead and just out and out lie...like straight forward. No sarcasm, no counter accusation, no deflection, just answer and just to ratchet it up I want you to take it seriously so serious that you would swear on the Bible or any other Holy book and the life of a loved one. I want to see all of the Hillary Clinton supporters put their money where their mouth is.

Really? lol
Seeinghope
(786 posts)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.

(660 posts)I might find the issue more important if someone could describe for me any actual damage that resulted to our country as a result of the mistake. If there was no injury, then it's really not worth my time when evaluating these candidates. I assume that they've all made some mistakes. Like Senator Sanders, I'm sick and tired of hearing about the emails.
Seeinghope
(786 posts)A straight forward answer please.
Do you really, putting your hand on the Bible, swearing on your loved one's life, believe that Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong. She did not lie to the American people and that absolutely EVERTHING that is being said about her is right winged propaganda?
Tal Vez
(660 posts)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.

(1,528 posts)"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."
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)political motivation to feign outrage. Your candidate couldn't win on the merits. He had fewer votes and fewer pledged delegates. That means the majority of voters hold my opinion and not yours.

(1,528 posts)I don't like the shadiness of any politician's acts that say to me, I want to do something that I don't think the people would like so I'll try to hide it.
I see her using a personal e-mail account as SoS because there were dealings that she wanted to keep from the public eye via FOIA. If Bernie were to do that, I'd be pissed at him and would not trust him.
