2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: CNN 2016 Poll: Clinton favored for Democrats; no clear GOP leader [View all]Whisp
(24,096 posts)9. Hey CNN, why don't you cover the state dept. sexual assault and pedophilia cover up scandal
while Hillitary was SoS.
The report should be out soon, or is overdue as it was to be completed 'end of summer'.
Hey Cnn, why don't you do this instead of campaigning for her?
Yah, okay, we understand. She would be great for yours and her need for conflict and war and this story wouldn't make her look so good. Yah, ok, we understand how this works.

CBS News' John Miller reports that according to an internal State Department Inspector General's memo, several recent investigations were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off. The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut "engaged in sexual assaults" on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security detail "engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries" -- a problem the report says was "endemic."
The memo also reveals details about an "underground drug ring" was operating near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and supplied State Department security contractors with drugs.
Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator with the State Department's internal watchdog agency, the Inspector General, told Miller, "We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases."
In such cases, DSS agents told the Inspector General's investigators that senior State Department officials told them to back off, a charge that Fedenisn says is "very" upsetting.

If Hillary runs and gets in, it will be a continuation of the current money over the rest of us.

A liberal candidate not only has to win over the democratic party, but a majority as a whole.

So we are just supposed to keep sliding ever farther to the Right, being the Republicans shadow?

Few people knew the name Barack Obama 8 years ago. We have a long time before the election.

People wanted "anybody different" back then. Now democrats want "the same but better".

If the 2016 GOP primary process is half as entertaining as the 2012, we're in for a treat.

Wasn't it Hillary vs. Rudy about this time in the '08 election? These polls are irrelevant. n/t
