Oh No. Cheryl Mills Testimony in Judicial Watch Case Released... and it's not good.

If the transcripts are accurate, they reveal that Hillary intentionally violated FOIA record keeping laws. Hillary mens rea.

No "non-RW" source for the transcripts yet. But I suspect this is going to get coverage for the remainder of the week. Just this evening on MSNBC, they were discussing that the story in general hasn't died since the OIG report and that it's damning enough to sink her. With more fuel on the fire, I suspect the pressure to drop out will come and it will not be insignificant. Not that Hillary will cooperatively bow out for the good of the party, but the pressure will be there nonetheless.

Or that he would do it. He has clearly stated he would not.

More importantly, despite your personal and dark hatred for a person that has caucused with Democrats for 27 years and is a true blue progressive, people like Biden do know it. That you think so little of Biden and think he has so little integrity is telling.

The PEOPLE WILL HAVE THEIR SAY on THIS... One Way Or The Other!

The hammer will be coming down quite soon I am afraid...


e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

moving to different forums that aren't so tightly controlled or authoritarian where marching in lockstep behind Hillary is a requirement.

But no, I don't think "the chair" would be an appropriate punishment.

Whatever the penalty for violating FOIA laws is would suffice.

and have five lawyers defending Cheryl Mills in a FOIA deposition over a FOIA "mistake".

Hillary is going to great lengths to hide something with all this lying.

More and more people are catching on.

She's been up to something she doesn't want people to know about. The media, the judges in the FOIA cases, the Inspector Generals of the State Department and Intelligence Community and the FBI seem to know it.

This isn't going away.

Depositions are carrying on until June and not all those folks can plead the fifth, cut immunity deals or claim to be her lawyer without stirring up more smoke.

Bernie should definitely stick around and some Dems ought to rethink their prospects about running.
