Let me say this once - when will Hillary Clinton and her folks fight back

and remind the media that there is nothing incriminating related to her and they should desist from saying this shit over and over - it is what the Russians and ReTHUGs claimed or claim to be incriminating evidence against her.

I am sick of this shit - stop giving them a pass - they show more deference to Don the Con and his family of cons, criminals and pathological LIARS.

EFUCKINGNOUGH!

When your adversary is digging a hole for himself, why distract him? For Hillary or Obama to inject themselves into this controversy would provide a fat target for Trump and his minions and give them an opportunity to try to deflect even more than they already are.

As President Obama once said so perfectly.

Why put yourself on the tracks when the train is derailing itself?

Nothing she says is going to help and anything she says is going to look like self-promotion - providing a welcome distraction for the Republicans.

They feed off of hate and misdirection and Hillary is just an enormous target that doesn't need to be waving around right now.

Hillary is not the story. The news cycle needs to be 24/7 "The Russians attacked us, Trump colluded, they're going to do it again and he's not going to do anything to stop it."

and no matter how Hillary walks it, the media will tell us she did it wrong.

She was right. Say it.

Donald's treasonous behavior. If she gets involved, she'll be called a sore loser and worse.

I know it's frustrating hearing those deplorables badmouth her, but she's going to have the last laugh when they are tossed out and thrown into a supermax!!!

She has done a nice job of throwing shade when she needs to via social media, much like Podesta did last week. My proudest push back was Hillary's sit down, extremely vulnerable interview she did at the tech conference a few weeks ago. Everything that Hillary pointed out about the election interference has been shown to be absolutely correct! I hope she continues with the subtle resistance. I know and you know she's fuming, but she's not allowing them to bait her...she's playing this correctly.

I do understand your sentiment.
