  1.  Felonies Galore

    Hillary Clinton never had a .gov email address.  All of her governmental business was conducted through her private non-government server located at her home in New York.

    It is a crime for anyone to transmit classified information to a non-secure environment and retain a copy of it.

    Clinton has apparantly told the State Department:

    “She and her team has said that it was not used for anything but unclassified work,” Harf said. “You know, we don’t, undergo scans of everyone’s unclassified email to make sure they’re only doing unclassified work so i don’t think there was any indication that she was doing anything but here, so i don’t think it’s really a pertinent question.”

    http://dailycaller.com/2015/03/04/hillary-could-be-prosecuted-for-sending-classified-information-through-her-private-email/

    With Clinton not having a grovenment email, we are supposed to believe that she did not use email to access classified information?  

    The President, Director of the CIA and Secretary of Defense did not send the Secretary of State emails containing classified information during the entire time she was Secretary of State?  

    Does the Obama administration and Team Clinton take the American public to be fools?

    Apparently so.

     

        1. "leaning heavily towards Bernie Sanders…………"  Why does that remind me of those who "leaned heavily" for George McGovern in 1972?

          Regartds,  C.H.B.

          1. Actually, McGovern was a more serious candidate in '72 than Sanders is today. (At least McGovern was a registered Democrat.) "Leaning heavily towards Sanders" reminds me of those who leaned heavily towards Kucinich in '08. Or '04.

              1. agreed.  I remember lots of liberals lamenting that there was no difference between Gore and the Shrub in 2000. After the invasion of Iraq, I didn’t hear it as much.

    1. Hmmm, The Donald perhaps?  Or the RINO (1 or 2)? Mitt already bowed out, but Perry's got the smart glasses now and Jindal is like a coondog on scent when it comes to the Sharia Zones in Paris.  

      Myself, I can't choose between the Huckster and that delicate South Carolinian, the Blanche DuBois of the US Senate, although I do love it when Ben Carson opens his mouth to share.  

      1. I heard Lindsey bowled 'em over in Iowa, break out star, although Jesus has been talking to the Canadian again and turns out the Good Lord loves Him some glyphosate and only liberals question both the snake-in-the-Garden-Tree-of-Knowledge thing and Jesus working through the Monsanto food engineers, at the same time!  

        1. Well, it's obvious….the glyphosphate molecule is in the shape of a cross….

          I'm curious, Tater – did some Tea Party bible thumper actually get science-y enough to investigate the shape of a chemical molecule?
           

        2. And speaking of Lindsey….Graham, not Lohan….he clamed on one of the news programs today to have never, ever sent an e-mail in his entire life.

          I wonder what planet he comes from?

      2. I still think that Rand Paul, as one of the few front running Republican Presidential candidates not under indictment or grand jury investigation, also relatively youthful, anti-drug war, anti -foreign intervention, will be a king-maker if not the ultimate nominee.

        I don't dispute that some of his positions are racist and batshit crazy – I just think that he will surprise everyone in the 2016 GOP lineup.

        As proof of his political savvy, he has convinced the state of Kentucky, and Yertle McConnell, to allow him to run for Senator and the Republican Presidential nomination at the same time.

      1. this from Forbes in June of 2014…

        Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March 2010, the health care industry has gained nearly 1 million jobs—982,300, to be more precise…

         

        I'm guessing well over a million , by now.

      2. Insurance claim processing jobs are up, too – a boon for Weld County.

        CU Leeds School of Business oil industry front guy Wobbekind tries to put the best spin on it he can, but can't softpedal the fact that energy industries are expected to add only 2,300 jobs, as opposed to most other industries, which are adding upwards of 6,000 jobs, with agriculture being the star performer, followed by health, construction, manufacturing,  and professional services.

        It does look as though the GOP is being successful in shrinking the Federal government – those jobs are way down. Bad news if you like disease-free meat, inspectors on your oil wells, or  well-maintained roads.

  2. E-mail Gate

    That's what they'll be calling it. Rafael Theodore Cruz (Tea Party-Calgary) is calling for a Congressional investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of her personal e-mail account. After that, they will also investigate Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, and whether Hillary husband lied at a deposition about Monica Lewinsky.

    1. Apparently even Israeli Jews can be anti-Israel, anti-Semites, right? According to our righties that’s the only possible explanation for failing to love Bibi and all his works.

    1. That was interesting, and I’ve always kind of liked Tim Kaine, although he’s not exactly a progressive champion. And if Warren won’t run, she won’t run.

      But on International Women’s Day, surely the writer could have come up with names of some of the impressive women in the Senate and the House. Maddow thinks that Claire McKaskill should run. There’s a whole passel of women in Congress who are younger than Biden, at least as smart, have run the DNCC like Dean or Kaine, and are charismatic speakers.

      Debbie Wasserman-Schultz comes to mind. Barbara Lee. Tammy Duckworth. You get the picture.

      If we could elect a junior Senator from Illinois to be our President, why the hell not expand the pool?
