42. I am keeping it in perspective

1) The general public is not going to care about the persecution of the Clintons. All they remember about Clinton is good times and a blue dress. Fast forward to 2015 and we have Bill's better half running for office. Instead of hearing stories about how Mrs.Clinton is talking about the issues, she instead becomes the issue over something that she shouldn't have done. We here at DU know that the cons are full of it, but the general public is wondering what was in that server and why is it important. Wiping it clean doesn't help quell the hysteria the righ wingers are fueling.

1a) You're right about nobody here caring about email gate, but its a giant pain researching Hillary Clinton speeches without running into email gate (which is one point of my questions regarding her viability as a candidate). The Bush crime family did delete their emails but Obama choose not to go after them, which falls on him.
Likewise its up the successors of those states (Jeb, Hucks, Romney) to reign in those former governors since those fall under state laws (if there is a federal statue then that failure is also Obama's). If she was honest she would have turned in the server with eveything on it instead of wiping it clean and then turning in a select few emails.

2) You seem to be forgetting that Obama is in office and he's fought off the Cons very well. There is a guarantee that certain progress can be made without them interfering in his personal life. The billionaires can do more with willing participants (still not happy over TPP and Obama) than running them into the ground and forcing their hand like they did Bubba. The country can't afford it.

No I haven't forgotten about Breitbart's attempts to discredit the president (which no one believed unless you're a Fixed News/Enquierer viewer). That last one, though did come from the Hillary Camp.

"Clinton in December said Obama's lack of experience would make his presidency "a roll of the dice"
