should know better who gleefully carry the GOP's water for it by repeating RW smears against Hillary ... and continuing to promote the stupid email story on DU daily. Even Jill Abramson, who has been tough on Hillary, says this: "Based on what I know about the emails, the idea of her being indicted or going to prison is nonsensical." I certainly agree.

Certainly there is an FBI investigation. Hillary is not a target. Comparing her sending material - unclassified at the time and only classified after the fact - with David Petraeus knowingly sharing material - classified at the time of sharing - with his mistress is just another stupid analogy that the RW loves.

One point I have made before is that since Bush II, too many agencies have been classifying material that really has no business being classified - not if we truly have a democracy. All classification rules need review, IMO. I am not alone in that belief.

That said, however, Hillary did not share classified material with anyone at the time it was classified. Period. Enough already.
