2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Look. All the top Democrats KNEW this IG info was coming. [View all]morningfog
(18,115 posts)39. I didn't say that, either.
This is a real issue. Any thinking person, including and especially the in the know Dems, knows it is a serious issue. Those that support Hillary do so despite that understanding and hope that none of Hillary's peeps face any criminal action.
It could have been considered a non-issue up until and including the congressional hearings.
It became a real issue when the State IG and the FBI initiated investigations. The fact that at least 2 federal judges have found some evidence of bad faith makes it a real issue too.
Saying it is a non issue is a practice of denial, double think, lying or ignorance.

I'm not at all sure they knew everything. In fact, I'd be surprised if they did.

I agree with this. I'd bet they simply didn't understand the ramifications here

It's a well known fact that material gets classified after the fact. Stop denying reality.

I don't think they can afford to care right now. Number 1 goal is to keep Bernie out.

Try "who else are ya gonna vote for" - it was the entitlement's greatest hit in 2014.
