I predict this will move the needle

not one inch.

Why Black Sabath, why? She is a potential POTUS. Is this acceptable in the liberal world as long as it is committed by a fellow lib?

-4 ( +4 / -8 )

@MarkG. Yes.

-2 ( +4 / -6 )

I don’t think Hillary has been subpoenaed outside of Benghazi but she did testify under penalty of perjury that she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done” yet there have been several chains, even in the IG report, still turning up that were not in the hard copies sent to State.

Every days it is a new revelation of hacking, down security, money laundering, etc. Basically corruption on steroids. Whether it is acceptable or not she is never going to be trusted by anyone, another world leader or our own national security apparatus, with sensitive information again.

Again, I predict this will move the needle not one inch.

In fact, I am so confident in my belief that Clinton will clobber Trump, I offer the following challenge to all the little right wingers here:

bet Clinton beats the living crap out of Trump. I bet Clinton does better against Trump in both the popular vote, and the electoral college that Obama did when he clobbered McCain back in '08.

What do I bet? The only thing we have here on JT: our presence. At stakes is our ability to post here for six months. I win, you go away. You win, I go away. For six months. No sock puppets. No new handles.

Just go away.

'Cause I am that confident.

Are you? Or do you lack the courage of your convictions. Are you all talk or what?

If emails are still inside of computer, they can be copied to by a word processor file. If old old DOS of OS desk top C, use a text editor to copy to a new file. And copy to 3 & I/4 inch diskettes. If she was using laptop, she could insert clSh drive the memory size is v Giga bytes of more. S

As if this is really a big surprise.

@BlackSabbath. I agree with you; barring an incredible turn out at the polls---say 70%=---Hillary is the next President but not for the reasons you believe. I think Sanders beat Hillary in the primary but it was covered up---can't prove it, I could be wrong but that's what I think. If any citizen other than Hillary Clinton was pulling the same stunts with these emails they would be in jail. Trump cannot win because the whole system comes down but that more about the system than about Hillary's ability as a leader. The system and the Left will do anything to stop Trump.

She was careless with her email system, and she deserves the criticism for it, and she deserves to be asked questions about it. By rational people.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

She has been asked questions about it.

Rational people recognize this. Just as rational people understand the right wing noise machine and the Republican party has been chasing one conspiracy theory after another about HRC for literally decades.

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

HRC hasn't been found guilty of anything, yet. That needs to be decided by a judge and/or jury, but she does appear to have selective memory, difficulty following judicial instructions, and a belief that rules AND laws do not apply to her. She is arrogant.

Can a President pardon themselves? Sadly, that appears to be what will happen.

Sadly, I bet Mr. Trump has similar beliefs - at least when it comes to rules not applying to him and selective memory. Whether laws apply to him or not, I fear we will discover if he's elected. He will be entertaining, that's certain. Hopefully he be allowed to cause too much damage in the world or at home. He is arrogant too.

So I'm left trying to vote based on who won't screw my family's life. No good choice available. Oh how did we get here.

Feel really sad for people who's identities are somehow tied to which of these, cough, people, cough, is elected.

1 ( +2 / -1 )

She has been asked questions about it.

________________________________________________ And Hillary keeps repeating the same old verifiably untrue statements that have now been debunked by the IG report. Which is why probably she hasn't given a substantive interview since.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

Yesterday, Sander said, looks like I will not be nominated during an interview.. He seemed Trump Hillary business and economics arguments are Greek to him. I don't think Warren is a fight person for VP? She does not have a class beside she is ignorant in international issues.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

"She deserves to be asked questions about it. By rational people" are you accusing the FBI is irrational? Sad state the nation is in if your not the one and only.

The man who created and set up the server has pleas the 5th 250 times!!! Nothing to hide? Is he paid off? Does he disrespect the FBI also? Incredible. And Hillary is permitted to run for president. I guess the office became meaningless after the past 7.5 years.

2 ( +5 / -3 )

The FBI has been investigating for months whether Clinton’s use of the private email server imperiled government secrets.

And she's lying about it. So how are the American people going to take her seriously? When she's supposed to put her hand on the good book and take an oath POTUS office. I duno, maybe those people don't care. . . as long as the EBT keeps coming, they'll be content.

0 ( +4 / -4 )

Clinton and her lawyers withheld thousands of additional emails she said were clearly personal, such as . . . . yoga routines

Heh, even when wearing those Chairman Mao-inspired pantsuit outfits, it's obvious that she never read those emails.

And how many times did the guy who set up Mrs. Bill Clinton's private server took the 5th the other day? More than 120 times.

As a registered independent voter, it is clear that the democrats is The Party of No (as in no morals). . . .

0 ( +3 / -3 )

Democrats....the party of droneism. We tell you how to think and share that same thought with all. When resisters want truth...hate them.

More and more this is becoming clear.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

It is better for Hillary to just openly lie about the whole ordeal (didn't she learn from Bill?) and for her staff to not say anything (take the 5th). After losing to Barrack Hussein Obama 8yrs ago she was done and had no chance. Humpty-Dumpty has fallen off the wall. -all that foreign cash cannot help her now. She should just take the money and run.

When resisters want truth...hate them.

Remember, Mrs. Clinton views all U.S. republican voters as "the enemy".

The democrats' ovarian candidate is quite the uniter; just like the person she's trying to replace in the Oval Office. . . .

She is not poor. She should get a coupe new computer, let compppputer store trchnitian to install cables and use new ones connected. Then hand out hate one that she used for problem email to FBI or whatever authority investigating her.

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

Wonderful. Vote for the liar! What has become of the country I love? Where are tho morals? What about the "can't we all just get along". And you can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.

2016 USA. Anything goes. Laws, respect, love....all out the window. Replaced by lies, deceit, and greed. And then theres Trump on the other side. I assure you trump respects USA more than Hillary. This woman is pure evil. But, "isn't it about time for a woman president". That's it in a nutshell. That's her only asset. Yet on JT in droves the woman is an angel.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

What has become of the country I love?

It moved into the present, while the Republicans remained in the past, doing their best to drag the country from progressing.

Hillary For Prison 2016! Change You Can Hope For!

doing their best to drag the country from progressing.

If being exceedingly PC to a point where there's no common sense, so be it. If progressing= more and more tolerance (the way obama keeps preaching) then Id rather drag my knuckles and go back to the Stone Age.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

No surprise here at all. Unfortunately the Republican party is not capable of putting forward a decent candidate either.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

I think Clinton will be nominated no matter what. Then she will defeat Trump. GOP finance supporters are not giving money to Trump. But he does not care. He is out ooh states and in his newly created Golf Course and that created some GOP member supporting Hillary.

Y'all need to watch H.A. Goodman's "FBI and DOJ will indict Hillary Clinton before July 25" video on Youtube.

The British vote bodes well for Trump. This election season has proved that tons of money and tons of negative ads don’t mean as much as they used to, particularly when people are fed up with a corrupt establishment, and you can’t get any more corrupt and establishment than Hillary Clinton.

She was careless with her email system, and she deserves the criticism for it, and she deserves to be asked questions about it. By rational people.

Careless? That is true, if it were only used for yoga classes. She forced other people to break US Laws and broke them herself. She's a laywer. She KNEW THIS. Based on the current evidence and her attempts to hide incriminating evidence, she needs to be put in jail for 5 yrs for treason. I would have been, if I'd leaked (even accidentally) classified information. We know the leak was from her server thanks to Russian hackers.

Perhaps there is still some home for super-lefty Sanders. No hope for the USA if he's elected with all those wacky ideas, but at least he means well.

For the millionth time. There was nothing accidental about it. And who again wants a president that is careless or even reckless in her treatment of national secrets ??

First, it turns out that Clinton managed to avoid turning over one key email, despite her repeated promises that she gave the State Department every single work-related email from her private email server. As the Associated Press reported, in the missing email, Clinton admits that her private setup was a problem.

"Let's get separate address or device but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible," Clinton wrote to her deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin. That was in response to an email from Abedin in November 2010, in which she advised Hillary that she should get on the state.gov email system or consider "releasing your email address to the department so you are not going to spam."

That exchange turned up only because it was in a batch of emails Abedin provided the government from her own private account. And it directly contradicts statements Clinton has made about the reason for her having a private setup, as well as her claim that she provided all her work-related emails.

Another email released this week reveals that State had set up an official government email account for Clinton to use, and then gives a clue as to why Clinton never used it.

Meanwhile, other emails show that not only did Clinton's unsecured private email system risk exposing sensitive and at times highly classified information to outsiders, it forced the State Department to compromise its own security to accommodate her.

How many I phone State dept issued for her when she became the boss lady? Public officials usually have several. Official. Private, one more for playing games while dashing lunch you can transfer email file to your computer file. Then she should give either computer or iPhone to FBI and let F1 handle decrypting.

I am listening one of ABC news channel. It said Sanders said he will vote for Clinton.

MarkGJUN. 24, 2016 - 08:03AM JST Why Black Sabath, why? She is a potential POTUS. Is this acceptable in the liberal world as long as it is committed by a fellow lib?

The GOP and the conspiracy theorists with their anti-Clinton hysteria have basically made Hillary.

Speaking as a pragmatic voter who tends to vote liberal, I'd be absolutely ready to believe that Hillary has committed some kind of corruption. I mean, she's basically a focus-tested election-cyborg in a pantsuit shell. I'd rather vote for someone who has more integrity, or at least who doesn't short-circuit when asked what love is, but the GOP have made that impossible. Because hysterical conspiracy theorists latch onto every time Hillary does something slightly unusual and use it to spin a complex web of imaginary high crimes against the state ("OMG she went in through the out door! That must mean she wanted those Americans killed in Benghazi!") nothing is ever going to stick to her because everything starts to smell to the average voter like conspiracy after a while. The haters have trained the public to know that they're never going to bring evidence against Hillary, it's all just speculation and tin-foil hat fodder.

So even when Hillary probably has committed a crime, like with the home server issue, our currency for paying attention to accusations against her got used up decades ago. Because the server issue, that's pretty esoteric to the average voter, so it gets filed under the same category as lunatic Benghazi theories.

So yeah, GOP, I'm going to vote Clinton. Because you refused to show a shred of restraint, you basically guaranteed she would be the most enduring candidate on the Democratic ticket. And by throwing your weight behind a short-fingered vulgarian in a bad toupee, you guaranteed that no one better would be coming up elsewhere. So thanks for that.

Oh good grief, if the Democratic primary hadn't been rigged in favor of Crooked Hillary, Sanders would have won easily, especially California.

0 ( +2 / -2 )

It wasn't rigged but if Independents could have voted in open primaries or had the foresight to change their registration in time he probably would have. On the other hand, Sanders had never called himself a Democrat before being allowed to run for president on their ticket. So loyalty runs both ways.

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

Sanders acknowledged he has not enough vote go be nominated and he will, vote for Clinton in General election and he will make sure his agendas will be adopted to Democratic party. He did not endorse Clinton.

I think Harry Reid will ensure Sanders be welcomed at convention. Reid accompanied Sanders to DC primaries and He talked with Sanders before Biden.

Just do the same thing as Canada's Ontario Liberal government did - delete/format the computers and pretends that is fine even though it was obvious that they were hiding something.

Dozens of questions Pagiliano declined to answer included who paid for the system, whether there was technical help to support its users and who else at the State Department used email accounts on it. Pagliano also would not answer whether he discussed setting up a home server with Clinton prior to her tenure as secretary of state, according to the transcript.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said the November 2010 email cited in the inspector general audit was one of several work-related emails that his group identified that Clinton sent or received but later failed to turn over the State Department.

“Contrary to her statement under oath suggesting otherwise, Mrs. Clinton did not return all her government emails to the State Department,” Fitton said. “Our goal is to find out what other emails Mrs. Clinton and the State Department are hiding.”

It's obvious that Hillary lied to the American voters and to the families of those who died in Benghazi. Hillary is a manipulator and a liar. Someone who simply has no honor and has no class. Why would any voter wish to give this liar the opportunity to hide all of her future actions behind a presidential claim of executive privilege?

The Fifth Amendment can only be used when there is a risk of self-incrimination for a prosecutable criminal offense. It doesn’t apply in a civil case unless the testimony in the civil case could also result in criminal prosecution. Pagliano and his attorneys wanted to make the case that his testimony in the civil action brought by Judicial Watch could end up as evidence in a criminal trial against Pagliano.

Wiping your calendar clean may be easier for most people to get their head around than wiping your server. There is always the known bribery problems of Clinton Foundation donors if all else fails.

Clinton's State Dept. calendar missing scores of entries

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Associated Press review of the official calendar Hillary Clinton kept as secretary of state identified at least 75 meetings with longtime political donors, Clinton Foundation contributors and corporate and other outside interests that were not recorded or omitted the names of those she met.
