How Incredibly Coincidental..........

Hillary becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee and.........

Clinton Foundation "scandal" proves to be false

Benghazi "scandal" proves to be false

E-Mail "scandal" proving to be false


It's almost as if......republicans were trying to engulf Hillary in "scandals" to influence the Democratic Presidential Primary.....Isn't there laws against this somewhere??

Its not as if the republicans have not tried to torpedoe the Clintons over the past 30 years. After all that, they came up with nothing.

13. But you would think that as often as 'we' have been correct...

...-and I use that 'we' very loosely, of course- that some here on DU might have second thoughts about their level of accusations levied at Clinton.

Not that any of us is always correct but, still, you'd think some might be influenced by the prevailing trend.

2. Benghazi was always a fantasy but the jury is still out on the other two.

4. The FBI criminal investigation has not yet concluded. It was and is the only one that matters.

It includes the email/server issues and possibly the Clinton Foundation.

Email server issues, however are bad. Not the end of the world, but bad all the same.

Hillary has endured many false scandals her whole political career. Whitewater? Travelgate? Honestly after 8 years of made up scandal investigation by Republicans, an nobody ever feeling any kind of repercussion from that bullshit, we should all expect more of the same when Hillary is President.

They have been hacking at her for quarter century, literally.

Only break came when BHO became the presumptive nominee in 08, and the first year or two with her as SOS.

Benghazi was the KO of their getting their Hillary hating groove back.

Of scrutiny HRC and anything associated with her gets, mispellings, mismatched socks, a bad hair day, what she EATS , reads and thinks are a given.
Any other candidates withered under this or like Senator Sanders, never received this type of treatment.

Republicans have been doing this shit since the 90s. I swore to myself when they impeached Clinton that I would never EVER vote Republican (not that it is hard not to).
