Any Bernie supporter who recced this thread should perhaps take a step back [View all]

and reflect. I want us to play smart politics. Evidence based politics. Issue based politics. We need to reject, 100% any distraction that originates from Republicans.

Here is the OP http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251495695

The source? A republican operative. Please please please do not let republican operatives lead us.

Yes. The evidence SEEMS to lead us to conclude that Hillary received and set classified info.

But the facts MAY lead us to conclude that the info sent and received was classified after the fact.

I am not a Hillary supporter. I am a Bernie supporter and a volunteer.

I want Bernie supporters to play smart politics.

One part of smart politics is that any Bernie supporter refrains from reccing a post that originates from a Republican operative.
