122. Classified info? Protecting the state?

Mon Oct 19, 2015, 11:54 PM

Oct 2015

It seems totally believable that she would ask for the emails surrounding decisions/important timelines from the Bush administration to be able to do her job. Continuity of government might require that. The fact that she had them must have made her feel like she had something on them though. Like an insurance policy. They were her fail-safe. They may still be. It is the GOP detonating the landmine by launching yet another Clinton investigation. Maybe they just are finding a hidden easter egg that is meant to pop out if anyone digs deep enough. The Democrats lack the will to go after Bushco, but the Republicans are their own worst enemy. It is poetic justice if they are the ones who ultimately reveal their own culpability. I am dying to know if she has emails about PNAC or Cheney, Haliburton and Blackwater in her files. The witch hunt may end up burning the hunters. We can only hope, right?
