    When she is president she can fire all those people.

    Honestly I thought it was pretty good - economical in terms of words but both burying the logical fallacy of Trump/Clinton being on remotely the same plane and taking a dig at one of our leading "vocal in severe disproportion to his cognitive skillset" posters.

    I give myself 5 stars. Green rep.

    You're obsessed. I do not leave passive aggressive reps.

    Because of the lack of transparency in the government, almost everything is classified these days.

    I hope they withhold any information about the Ukraine so that donald doesn't share US intelligence with his buddy Putin.

    Especially considering that Trump's people insisted that the GOP platform committee water down our international support for the freedom of Ukraine.

    Trump Time Capsule #71: Someone's Lying About the GOP Platform on Ukraine

    We may need to make sure the Trump campaign has not been subverted by Russian intelligence. Seems pretty shady. Believe me.

    LOL it's hilarious you say this and immediately afterwards try to defend a liberal who broke the law by mishandling classified information due to her gross negligence. I mean, I get that you are a Democrat and you feel you have to "go to bat" for your team and all, but try to be just a little objective. It really won't hurt.

    Given that literally nothing I said was a lie, you have to point out specifically what you fail to understand is the truth.

    Fact is the FBI did say there was some evidence that Hillary broke the law just not enough to prosecute.

    The FBI also said


    Don't you think it's time we decided what those sanctions will be? It seems Obama would be worried about Hillary right now? Or will he give her a free pass like he did with Lynch meeting with the spouse of the subject of an FBI investigation just before the investigation concluded. That was surely a fireable offense or at the very least disciplined severely.

    Even "ignorant" Hillary supporters should agree.

    They just think it's no big deal because partisanship.....but I doubt the family of Shahram Amiri thinks the same. Hell the family of ANY US asset probably considers it a big deal, she could have very easily gotten more people killed with her incompetent mishandling of classified information.

    Truly all information in the government and the military is confidential, and also meaningless.

    Even the Secret stuff is pretty tame. Folks acting like accidentally leaking confidential stuff is a huge deal. It just isn't...

    Lie, lie, and lie some more, that's all you appear to have.

    I haven't ever voted for a Democrat for president, which would make me a piss-poor Democrat indeed.

    Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't lying here, the fact that you ideologically agree with pretty much everything the Democrats believe in and you seemingly disagree with almost everything the Libertarians believe in you'd still be a MUCH better Democrat than a Libertarian.

    You can tell everyone over and over that you are a Libertarian rather than a Democrat, but your own expressed ideology sells you out as a fraud. Anyway, I know that you are super committed to the lie that you are a Libertarian, so I don't expect you to be honest here so let's just drop it. Just know that you aren't actually fooling anyone.

    The FBI never said she broke the law. Saying that she did is a lie.

    Some evidence does not mean she broke the law. The FBI didn't say the issue was a lack of evidence, they said it was a lack of intent which is what is necessary to prosecute someone. That there have been many many instances of classified information being accidently shared by government officials in this country.


    No, it's just annoying that there is this horrible double standard applied to Democrats when Republicans get away with so much.

    Iran-Contra, ignoring warnings on 9/11, Halliburton, Lying to Congress and the Country to go to war, Valerie Plame - all far worse than Clinton's email and yet you guys crazy on this stuff and give your beloved Republicans a pass.

    It's ridiculous. If you crazy partisans can't police your own for serious crimes, why do you expect the rest of the country to care about a few emails?

    When you say that there is no evidence that they broke the law on purpose, you are saying that they broke the law. On top of that, just read the statute, it's clear that she did break the law.

    I get that your partisanship won't allow you to admit the obvious, but do yourself a favor and stop making yourself look bad with your feeble attempts to deflect for Hillary. It's simply unnecessary and it makes you look really stupid.

    I am not making any statements - I am going by what a Republican director of the FBI stated. If you have an issue you need to take it up with him.

    I suggest you apply the same standards you do to Republicans as you do to Democrats.

    I am no fan of corruption at all and I find our political leaders terrible. But what I find even worse is when people like you attack others who disagree with you as "partisans" as a means to try to tar and feather them as a way to winning a debate.

    It's small-minded.

    Bobby has to go conservative talk radio parsing to say Clinton broke the law. Previously he claimed Comey said Clinton broke the law and now he's scalibg that back because he was obviously wrong.

    Waste of time bro.

    You are right. What's funny is that I'm not even a partisan - I'm slightly left of center. I think partisans are guys like Sam and Batman Jones. I am definitely far more in the middle. But to die-hard R's, they think the middle is partisan!

    Clearly you didn't understand those words....

    I just spelled out for you what he said and those words indicate that she broke the law. Do all the mental gymnastics you want but you can't change that.

    Here, I'll try to say it again and see if you figure it out this time

    When a person says that there is no evidence that someone broke the law on purpose, that person is implying that the law was in fact broken. They are saying that WHEN the law was broken, it wasn't done on purpose. That's what those words mean and none of your BS can change that fact.

    Fortunately we only know of one person that died almost certainly as a result of Hillary's mishandling of classified information. It could have been worse so I guess we should be happy about that.

    It is silly that any part of the political spectrum is equated to partisanship. You can be super left wing or super right wing and not be partisan.
