(3,967 posts)if so, that is more than odd.
not only would i not have used that as a source, i would not have ever seen that as a source.
unless I googled sanders dual citizen israel or something like that. i don't see how this could be an honest mistake by all involved. it is something that whoever identified it was specifically looking for or maybe something that was being emailed around. this makes it all the more important for her to explain how it came to her attention - how did she come to see this page? if it was an assistant, why did they have it and give it to her? if it was really her, why did she have it?
if it was a rogue assistant who has goes to sites like that or trades in emails like that, and she fires the assistant, that would make her look better. but she hasn't indicated anything like that and i am having a hard time coming up with an explanation that doesn't look pretty bad.
