132. More people like her is all

Mon May 2, 2016, 05:49 PM

May 2016

More people voted for her.
3 million more people.

300 delegate lead.
I don't think Bernie can close that big of a gap now.
He's too far behind.

300 delegates behind in fact and 3 million voters.

Any Democrat will win this year.
Bernie would have won the GE easily.
He just didn't seem to ever win over the majority of Democrats.

Ill-informed desperate gibberish keeps on a'flowin from Camp Sanders Tarc May 2016 #5

Wrist slaps as a result of indictments/convictions. HooptieWagon May 2016 #7

Even indictment of staffers would be bad unc70 May 2016 #48

In the unlike chance that actually happened, it still won't put the Bern in the White House, bro Tarc May 2016 #52

No one can predict the resolution of chaos,... HooptieWagon May 2016 #99

You point to conspicuous weaknesses in our system as justification for perpetuating them RufusTFirefly May 2016 #8

Petraeus pled down from 793, a felony, to 1924, a misdemeanor. Berger also pled guilty to 1924. leveymg May 2016 #19

And don't forget this: Fawke Em May 2016 #28

Not just from Camp Sanders, as Bernie Sanders correctly dismissed it as crap The Second Stone May 2016 #50

Neither one of them that you mention were SOS head of handling all secrets for the security of bkkyosemite May 2016 #116

Since nothing was classified at the time, it hardly matters. Tarc May 2016 #120

people knowingly and intentionally mishandled clasified information, despite knowing they should not pdsimdars May 2016 #93

No one has made that claim yet zipplewrath May 2016 #148

I believe the Justice Department has a better handle on these things than you do.[n/t] Maedhros May 2016 #113

How many indictments? zipplewrath May 2016 #147

The FBI is conducting an investigation - this is fact. Maedhros May 2016 #149

They conduct alot of investigtions zipplewrath May 2016 #150

I work with the FBI. They investigate cases I bring to them, sometimes. Maedhros May 2016 #158

You are grossly mistaken zipplewrath May 2016 #173

Indeed. The Clinton Machine... NewImproved Deal May 2016 #179

The Indictment Fairy laughs at this! NurseJackie May 2016 #11

Proving my point: You don't know jack about what you're talking about. Fawke Em May 2016 #30

That for which you wish will never happen. NurseJackie May 2016 #33

You're wrong zipplewrath May 2016 #12

I don't believe the defense of "I didn't know it was classified material" will wash. rhett o rick May 2016 #23

No one would be prosecuted zipplewrath May 2016 #59

Where I worked, if you mishandled classified material you'd lose your security clearance rhett o rick May 2016 #68

Intentionally zipplewrath May 2016 #72

What about if you intentionally, using a private server, converse with someone like polly7 May 2016 #73

Showing poor judgement zipplewrath May 2016 #75

He was being paid by her Foundation at the same time, right? polly7 May 2016 #77

Because it's not zipplewrath May 2016 #79

How could he have fired her if he didn't know about it? nt. polly7 May 2016 #97

That is a problem zipplewrath May 2016 #100

She exposed state secrets at the highest level, people's lives were in jeopardy because of what pdsimdars May 2016 #101

She did not zipplewrath May 2016 #103

Did she report Blumenthal as Sec 793 requires? No. leveymg May 2016 #165

And when was the last time someone was prosecuted? zipplewrath May 2016 #174

You don't know what you are saying. I'd suggest you talk to someone who is an intelligence pdsimdars May 2016 #95

If one handles classified materials they are trained to recognize it. "I didn't know it was rhett o rick May 2016 #121

It is not "acceptable" zipplewrath May 2016 #144

you know what it is *not a long way from, though? Dragging my good name silvershadow May 2016 #153

You are looking at your candidate's actions through rose colored glasses. Maedhros May 2016 #115

Here's some of the language of the statute that may have been violated: CentralCoaster May 2016 #91

You know what I admire about the Clinton's? FlatBaroque May 2016 #27

Waterboard a Word!!! Getting up off the floor... Land of Enchantment May 2016 #64

Her server wasn't approved for use. Fawke Em May 2016 #31

That's not the story being told zipplewrath May 2016 #57

Ask General Pitreas about that. pdsimdars May 2016 #104

He did it intentionally zipplewrath May 2016 #105

So did Clinton. She set up an unsecured private server and used it the entire time she was SOS. haikugal May 2016 #157

No zipplewrath May 2016 #172

The information was clearly marked and she told them to take the classification off and send to her haikugal May 2016 #178

Actually, what she said was zipplewrath May 2016 #183

Conviction under Sec. 793 requires neither intent nor actual harm. Mishandling is enough. leveymg May 2016 #42

Necessary, but not sufficient zipplewrath May 2016 #63

She did it despite and in spite of being told not to use her Blackberry. She's in serious trouble leveymg May 2016 #87

So far you have nothing zipplewrath May 2016 #98

There is no confusion about what is classified and not. That is a typical Clinton red herring pdsimdars May 2016 #106

Everything you have posted so far is misinformation or disinformation. leveymg May 2016 #111

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. zipplewrath May 2016 #146

Petraeus was allowed to plead down to a different charge, Sec. 1924. leveymg May 2016 #163

"Allowed" zipplewrath May 2016 #176

You're calling it a "mistake", whereas the evidence shows she set up her server as an end-run around leveymg May 2016 #185

That's a heck of a deduction on your part zipplewrath May 2016 #192

The intent is clearly on the face of the acts in evidence. leveymg May 2016 #193

Not to a prosecutor zipplewrath May 2016 #194

Under the Espionage Act, stupidity is a crime. One does not have to intend to harm the US or leveymg May 2016 #195

In a court of law zipplewrath May 2016 #196

I might agree, if she hadn't herself posted classified info or encouraged Blumenthal to do so. leveymg May 2016 #197

Intent zipplewrath May 2016 #198

Her use of a private server was supposedly "approved" for use. frylock May 2016 #76

Her testimony zipplewrath May 2016 #78

I hope the response satisfies your request Capt. Obvious May 2016 #85

Absolutely! frylock May 2016 #124

There is no link because that never happened. leveymg May 2016 #90
