Editorial: Emailing it in: Team Clinton struggles to recover as the FBI primary looms
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-president-clinton-trump-0601-jm-20160531-story.html
It is a thoroughly damning document all the more so because the inspector general who submitted it, Steve Linick, was appointed by President Barack Obama. Anyone groping to excuse Clinton's conduct eventually has to face the stark, infuriating fact: What she did served no purpose beyond letting her selfishly evade the rules and accountability demanded of everyone else. Her failure to cooperate with the inspector general's inquiry, at the department she led, iced the cupcake.
...
For most of the past year, Democrats have been happily distracted by the GOP's apparent urge to blow itself up. They failed to notice they were walking into their own minefield without a map.

(3,146 posts)I'm disappointed in myself for having so many people on ignore. I just don't know what else to do to make this experience enjoyable here.

(2,064 posts)The Clinton folks have no response, just "blame the messenger".
Granted, the Tribune isn't "The Daily Worker", but it's typically been Democrat-friendly for as long as I can remember. Hillary's disregard for the law simply can't be ignored any longer.

(1,217 posts)She is the worst candidate of my lifetime and I first voted in 1972. The DNC could not possibly have dredged up a more dangerous candidate.

(744 posts)I think the admins have decided that they don't want the anti-Clinton hate brigade to their website against her and potentially help Trump. What goes on elsewhere is irrelevant to that.

(1,017 posts)I wonder how they will entertain themselves .... self congratulatory speeches get old after a while one would think . Still if they want this site to fade into irrelevance they are fully entitled to run full tilt of that cliff .

(443 posts)When a site like Sean Hannity forums allows you to post on there and talk negative about a GOP person, but DU is going to become the echo chamber. Odd how that is happening.

If they don't like Clinton, that's reason for her to be regarded as BELOVED.

(135,425 posts)we won't know how smitten he and GS are, either.
And since Jane has disappeared ever since the story about Burlington College closing broke, there's no way to establish how she invested that 1 year salary plus $200K golden parachute windfall she enjoyed.
Land of Enchantment
(1,217 posts)All they said in their scathing review was a bunch of garbage about free stuff and HRC going left to copy Bernie on that issue. At LEAST they are starting to discuss real news.

(36,063 posts)Last week it was posted, not by me but by an HRC supporter, that if this was still a story today, it had legs.
Either it's got legs or an HRC supporter doesn't know anything about legs.

Not all Democrats failed to notice but when we did and pointed it out we were attacked.

the GOP was "destroyed" or about to be in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010 (and 2012 and 2014 and)

(5,400 posts)The viewership of these organizations that are now publishing editorials and articles like this might be getting prepared. These organizations won't ever want to look complicit in covering up what the public always had a right to know, and they a duty to report.
