In reply to the discussion: Let's put our heads together on the Clinton e-mail scandal [View all]paulthompson
(2,398 posts)Some people are saying that Clinton probably won't be indicted, so this is a big nothing.
Not true. Look at Chris Christie and his bridge scandal. It seems he's not going to get indicted for that. However, that scandal caused his popularity to plummet and probably did more than anything to stop him from being a viable major Republican presidential candidate.
This scandal is a real thing. There are 150 agents working exclusively on it as we speak. That in and of itself is extraordinary. Whether Clinton gets indicted or not, this scandal will reveal a lot about her judgment and her ethics. Will that influence many voters? Of course. How could it not? It already has been having an impact, and rightly so. Even Clinton has admitted she's made mistakes regarding her e-mail server.
99.99% of Sanders supporters are working on getting out the vote. But if, say, a dozen or two work on this, I think that's a very valuable use of time. Different people have different skills to offer. For instance, I would be a poor to average phone bank caller. But I have a particular ability with researching, and others do too.
