36. HRC's camp doesn't care if she broke laws, so anything she does is a-ok.

They have actually created a situation where she can do whatever the hell she wants, and get away with it. Hillary has a BLANK CHECK to break laws, even be under FBI investigation for a 4-yr-long national security catastrophe and graft operation run in the State Dept., start wars, anything she wants with no charges brought and nothing to stop her. Even Bernie bought into it thus far. Because Republicans!!!

This is what is truly scary to me. That, right there. No consequences Hillary.

The law means nothing anymore. And this, brought about by two lawyers.



Not only is she not stopped, much less punished for anything she does, she's on track to be REWARDED with the Presidency for it!

Of course, she'll pick up all the big checks now, you can count on it. There is no down side for her, and she knows that, so why wouldn't she?


I used to defend her when she was attacked by Republicans, and I'm damn sorry I did.

(There's a song called "Devil In Disguise" by Yngwie Malmsteen, and another called "Judas". I won't bore others with posting them -- any interested look on YouTube -- but I'm going to go listen to both of them now as a catharsis because they remind me of what the Clintons have brought us to. Us, Dems and Americans. No I'm not exaggerating, we let this go on from here at our great peril. "I'd rather reign in hell some said, than serve in heaven." See ya all later.)
