"Regarding the email pseudo-scandal, whilst it does criticize Hillary, I remain more than skeptical of GOP FBI Director James Comey. I would love to see what Comey would define as the most serious piece of classified information that Clinton emailed. I highly doubt that such supposedly dangerous material was remotely dangerous to national securitysince virtually anything can be classified as classified by some one."

Frankly, in 1992, I thought that she would be the better candidate than her husband. Different times and my fantasy would never be possible then. But here we are.

(51,007 posts)The one thing that seems like it was blatantly dishonest was the "sniper fire" thing.
But I was once in a place where I nearly fell off a cliff-like structure. I didn't, but the fear of the close call stayed with me for a long time. Some years later, I went back to the place, and realized that the danger had actually been slight and the height was absolutely one I would have survived if I had fallen.
I am guessing she experienced something like that, so I don't even consider that particularly deceitful.

I don't like Hillary, but still hoping she beats Trump.

(7,637 posts)Basically a list of people who, as a secretary of state she has to call. Those things are typically marked with () and one or more letters for the classification level. its directly wthin the text. sometimes its just a couple lines in the middle of the document. Those call logs are very low lvl classification and are usually no longer classified after the phone calls were made. Like the white house visitor logs its information that can be requested.
here is a document explaining how classified markings typically appear in documents :

(20,317 posts)Can't we just be adults and acknowledge the obvious? Of course Hillary is a liar. She's a national politician. But I don't expect politicians to be shining moral examples. I know they're going to spin everything, often to the point of absurdity, to aggrandize themselves and appeal to the stupid. That's what politicians do-- certainly when you get to the national level, it is.
Hillary is very cautious and career-focused. The only risks she takes are calculated to minimize her own exposure.
I think you can sum up her approach to things as, 'the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese'. It's smart. It's cynical, but it's smart.
