    I didn't say anyone said the FBI released anything..... There are allegedly unnamed sources within the FBI leaking info.

    Naïve like me? LOL.. Your party thinks you are ignorant. If those missing e-mails are there and they contain classified info, the FBI will have established intent and obstruction of justice. Naïve is characterizing what Hillary did as mismanaging.

    I think the truth coming out did her in. Bravo CNN for taking the first step to clean up Clinton corruption. This isn't over with Hillary. Whether or not she gets elected more and more stuff is going to come out. Whether it be backstabbing Bernie, instigating violence at Trump rallies or stuff like this nothing is too low for a Clinton.

    At this point and given the lack of trust in either candidate, I defer to who makes the best president to be mocked on SNL for the next four years. That person is...Donald Trump. ;)

    I think Hillary may turn senile and into a legit granny ma before she even gets half way. I might hit her up for some chocolate chip cookies once in a while...but not sure I want her handling much more than that.

    "Lemme check my email. Let's see...do I Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, White House, or other to send this official top secret email?"

    Granny Ma...what are you doing?

    DOH

    Naive idealism is a better way of putting it. You think that shady email practices with classified information might have a more negative impact than a president with the understanding of the military from Hollywood and probably couldn't give you the legislative process of how a bill turns into law without wikipediaing it.

    Presidents have done more shady **** than mismanaging classified emails and the country has survived quite well. So, obviously there are more important qualifications for president than just transparency such as basic competence in how the military works, how the government works, how our Supreme Court works, Constitutional Law, how display works etc.

    Still laughing at you implying someone else is naïve. You do realize it's why she chose to do conduct e-mail in the manner she did, don't you? She's trying to hide peddling of influence for personal gain and she put the nation's security at risk doing so. There's a reason she destroyed her schedules and such. If you read Wikileaks, her own staff had concerns with her set up and with the foundation.

    Barack Obama had very little experience when he took office. Again, I'm not voting for Trump. If he's elected I would hope he'd surround himself with competent advisors like most Presidents do.

    Barack was a Harvard Constitutional Law professor with actual experience in legislation. Do you even hear yourself? You are hoping that our president's aids are more competent than the president himself? Brietbart is going to run our country? I'm sure you would love that. Since his aids are going to be a collective president instead of Trump can we have their private correspondences leaked also like we have with Hillary's so they are as transparent as her?

    She's put the nation's security at risk? That's wishful thinking on your part. A more accurate statement would be "I hope her email mishandling has put our national security at risk because that is the outcome I'm hoping occurs" because no one including you with your in depth nuanced insider information knows what tangible outcomes resulted from her emails.

    The naivety part comes into play when you think Hillary is some sort of anomaly in her deep ties to insider political games and THIS is the election cycle where it MUST STOP because America is on the verge of some preconceived collapse and the solution? Donald freaking "I don't even know how a bill turns into law" Trump. This nation can handle another 4 more years of status quo politicians. It never has dealt with someone as naive and unintelligent as Donald Trump.

    It isn't like her. Probably doesn't like how polls are trending wrong way.

    Well if she doesn't get immunity due to being president, she really could see jail time if the wrong things are in those emails that were just discovered so a bit of panic would make sense even if it is out of character.

    Agreed. Clinton has not been transparent about her Secretary of State communications. Just mean that after the process is all over, we'll have (at least most of) the transparency we're owed.

    The emails just verify the levels of corruption in Hillary's chain of command... However, I believe that a federal investigation of the Clinton Foundation is what will get Clinton arrested... Think completely unbiased folks need to assess why the following governments are donating large sums of money into a slush fund.

    It would be nice to have the director of the FBI follow the law, in other words, the Hatch Act, with transparency equal to what you seem to think you are owned by Secretary Clinton. While Comey is at it, he could reveal what the FBI has discovered about the connection between Russia and the Trump campaign. Comey declined to sign the statement from 17 other national security entities in the US government that that was exactly what was happening. Comey's excuse? Here is irony Hollywood would have a difficult time topping. Comey declared that it was "too close to the election," in other words, that he felt it would violate the Hatch Act, something he just did himself.

    I hope that salient fact exercises you just as much, JV.

    Comey is in a hard spot. If he would have done nothing, NYPD would have released it and that would have been worst. At least by doing this he can delay this farce a little longer for Hilary. Either way Wiener's investigation would have become public.

    Comey created a "hard spot" of his own making. He should not have released his bizarre statement until after the election. By not doing so, he violated the Hatch Act.
