In an interview with ABC’s This Week that aired Sunday, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein dismissed the controversy over Hillary Clinton‘s use of a private email server, saying, “enough is enough,” and encouraging voters to deal with more pressing issues facing the country.

HC broke no law. I read all 42 pages of the report. The conclusion of the report does not say that. What it does say is that the [State] Department does not handle these electronic platform operations well.”

She continued: “I mean, what do people want? This goes on and on and on. We’re reaching the final stages of a primary. Hillary Clinton is going to win this primary. I say enough is enough. Let’s get to the major problems facing this nation.”

1. The State Dept Report

is not the one she should be reading if she is looking for laws broken. She'll have to read the FBI report for that.

[riversedge]

2. Sen Feinstein has been on the Intelligence Commitee for years. I trust her

when she says Hillary broke no laws.

[Ferd Berfel]

9. Feinstein and her husband have made a lot of money from the War business and now

hubby is poised to make upwards of $1billion from killing the postal service. Good republicans are in favor of both.

She's just protecting past and future income.

[libdem4life]

12. That's a fact.

[840high]

50. Yes they did.

[roguevalley]

57. let them eat cake she says. it will be good when she leaves

[laserhaas]

75. She helps get HRC in, and then her blooming Blum will get more billions

Oligarchs loving oligarchs - who make much - while in public service

[still_one]

15. I agree. She is my Senator along with Boxer, who will step down this term, and hopefully

Kamala Harris will take over from the good things Barbara Boxer has done for our state

[grasswire]

17. more's the pity

She has been a lousy member of that committee.

[billhicks76]

18. You Trust George Bush Too?

Trust has nothing to do with status or seniority. Her family makes tens of millions off the intelligence industry. Good thing you only have one vote come Election Day.

[bahrbearian]

21. Her 2002 IWR vote gives me reason not to Trust Her or Hillary. But I'm not a real Democrat.

Feinstein Wants To Limit Who Can Be A Journalist

[Press Virginia]

28. DiFi is an HRC supporter. She's not going to be honest about what HRC did

She's also not in a position to make an honest assessment of what HRC did.

[scscholar]

30. Plus given her position and relation to Hillary...

I'm sure she has more information than we have.

[ArcticFox]

36. I do not trust Feinstein

I have always liked Senator Boxer, but Feinstein always seemed a little too corporate and militaristic.

[CorporatistNation]

45. Feinstein Does NOT Represent THE LAW! Hillary Certainly Has Some Problems With THE TRUTH!

MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[Plucketeer]

81. Feinstein doesn't give a SHIT

for her average constituents. I write her from time to time and get responses MONTHS later - and then usually just blanket form letters written for the many. She's another Howard Dean and she hasn't even left the Senate yet! She's as good a case for term limits and campaign finance reform as ANYONE you can dredge up. Diane (and Boxer) are there because they were wealthy and to get MORE wealthy still. Whatever noble idea they might have championed when they first ran for the Senate has been totally obscured to them by wads and wads of hundred dollar bills.

[still_one]

5. Except that is what 90% of the posts here have been doing. On that State

Department Report they have been spewing that Clinton will be indicted for sure.

[JonLeibowitz]

3. 'Enough is enough' indeed. Both Sec. Clinton and Sen. Feinstein should retire.

For different reasons, of course. Hillary for varied reasons, Feinstein because she proposed the ludicrous Feinstein-Burr bill.

Whoever proposes banning encryption has no business representing California in the U.S. Senate. And as a California voter I could not possibly care less what she has to say, especially on issues concerning technology like this one.

[still_one]

11. and as a Californian, you have an absolute right to that point of view, and I have the opposite

point of view, and am also a Californian

So let's see what June 7th brings

[JonLeibowitz]

16. You think Feinstein-Burr is a good idea?

It appears we have some real authoritarians amongst us.

[laserhaas]

76. Ha Ha,, the jaw drop is sooooo apropos

[TipTok]

22. I'm sure she would still be entitled as a VIP...

[Owl]

29. Yes

[SmittynMo]

4. Let's get to the major problems facing this nation.

Yeah, like getting DF out of office. What an arrogant &^%$#. Shit, her state hasn't even voted yet, and does absolutely nothing for the democratic process.

[still_one]

7. Are you from California?

[awoke_in_2003]

67. Hmm, a five letter word

with symbols instead of letters. Not too hard to figure out. Classy

[SmittynMo]

71. Imagine the possibilities

5x5x5. You need an imagination here.

[Ned Flanders]

84. Is that a three dimensional chess board, 25 squares on each of 3 levels?

Just curious, because I hear Hillary is really good at three dimensional chess.

[awoke_in_2003]

91. Imagination not necessary

I caught your message.

[yallerdawg]

6. Sanders and Feinstein!

Works for me!

[Cassiopeia]

8. When she's in charge of the FBI and the Justice Department

she'll be able to do so.

[riversedge]

19. I trust her -not you.

[Press Virginia]

31. Your trust an HRC supporter who pretends classified Intel must be marked

and only the sender of the information is responsible for its identification?

DiFi had better get those 312's updated so the signators don't have to worry about protecting anything that isn't marked

[ConservativeDemocrat]

41. You think classified material is not supposed to be marked?

*blink blink*

Yeah. Let's just say that I do indeed believe her and not you.

- C.D. Proud Member of the Reality Based Community

[Press Virginia]

74. I refer you to the SF 312 which says it may not be marked

[ConservativeDemocrat]

80. It is still SUPPOSED TO BE marked

Always.

Without such markings, it is not possible to fulfill the other aspects of SF 312.

All that is saying is that if someone hands you information that you know to be classified, you still need to follow the correct procedures, even if the person who gave it to you, failed to follow the agreement. There is no law that makes people responsible for the unwitting transferal of information they did not know to be classified.

I simply cannot believe that I'm having to explain such basic concepts to a Democrat, rather than some idiot Republican.

- C.D. Proud Member of the Reality Based Community

[Press Virginia]

90. The document that says it may be marked or unmarked can't be fulfilled?

there is a process for the recipient to verify the classification level and a responsibility until that verification is established.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

92. If someone emails you something without any classification markings

Then you have absolutely no reason to believe it is classified.

[libdem4life]

10. She's so full of it...last week she encouraged Bernie to keep running

I'm awaiting the information about the Clinton Foundation. That's where it all comes full circle. Seems possible the formerly wiped emails reconstruction is nigh and then the immunity, the deposed aides, Guccifer, the Canadian "fund" and some underground news today.

Flame away but I sense some type of impending disclosures imminent.

[hopemountain]

54. and the huge deposits to the clinton fund

by international "investors" following us govt. "sanctioned" "arms" "trade" "deals".

[libdem4life]

56. I think they found the thread that will unravel the proverbial sweater .

Now they have the Canadian laundering site smoking gun, they have a clearer path to finding enough to get them out of the Democratic Catbird Seat. The sooner the better. They are holding the party hostage as cover for their, um, misdeeds.

[hopemountain]

58. yes - so many intricate details - and

most likely, more. i wonder if they will subpoena bill's longtime friend - the one who had those funds deposited into her account.

well, as long as it takes.

this is a yuge reason for bernie to remain a candidate - no matter what chris matthews and df think.

[libdem4life]

59. It's coming.

and there is going to be a lot of roasted crow for these Clinton worshippers. Their little black book will not likely mow over these events.

[7wo7rees]

13. It sure is Ms.Feinstein!

This is wrong in every direction! Keep on covering up!

Enough is surely enough!

[billhicks76]

14. Brought To You By The Bought And Paid For Turncoat

Who wants you to bend over and accept having ALL your texts, emails, phone conversations and GPS coordinates to be recorded and read by military contractors and their accomplices like her husband. Enough with these fake relics from a time where people couldn't properly vet them. The age of communication has exposed these parasites that feed for dollars at the expense of a democracy's integrity.

[laserhaas]

78. Back in 2008, after I filed a complaint with the Public Corruption Task Force - they shut it down

Here's my Dec. 7, 2007 Complaint
http://docslide.us/documents/clocked-18-usc-3057-a.html


Then, here's the shut down of the Public Corruption Task Force (with threats reported against career prosecutors)
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/20/local/me-shakeup20

Senator Feinstein actually appears to come to my rescue. I have her email, for direct communication;
and she sends USAG Mukasey, a letter - asking him to explain what's going on with the shut down.
http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=ecfa735e-9a7f-a6c9-dfb2-f03c0133794e

Then - all of sudden - her email changed, her staff stopped answering my calls, and

Nothing Happened!

[billhicks76]

88. Bait And Switch

A common deflection tactic to defuse an action.

[SmittynMo]

20. Why is DF doing this?

There is absolutely no reason at all for her to say this. NONE. Why can't she wait like the rest of us? That is, unless someone's been really pushing her to help get Bernie out of the race. This is definitely some form of corruption, with her bullshit predictions. I really don't give a shit what she has to say. And all of the Establishment know that Bernie is going NOWHERE. When will they learn?

One would think she had better things to talk about. Like where is Donald going to get all that water?

See ya all at the convention!!!!!

[riversedge]

72. She is an intelligent women and knows the REAL Deal when she sees it......

Ask yourself why they are so admired by so many? They R the real deal. Not some phony con man [Trump] selling u snake oil!

[SmittynMo]

73. See ya all at the convention!!!!!

Re posted for people that missed it.

[Voice for Peace]

24. look at that face, just look at it, look at that funny old face of yours

I knew first look I took at it,
you've got a face that the world adores..

look at those eyes, as wise and as deep as the sea!
look at that nose, it shows what a nose should be!

as for your smile, it's lyrical,
friendly and warm as a summer's day!
your face is just a miracle!
and I mean that in the nicest way...

[Thinkingabout]

26. Is this from Trump?

[Voice for Peace]

48. no it's from Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd

iirc

[Thinkingabout]

49. Hum, wonder if he gets his information from the same source.

[Voice for Peace]

51. the song just popped into my head when I saw her picture

dont think he gets anything from my own head but maybe he knows the same songs.

[Kingofalldems]

25. Wasn't there an article in more than one publication

that said the FBI has found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing?

Pretty sure I saw it here.

So that kinda wraps it all up for this latest Hillary outrage, completely ginned up by the right wing.

[dorkzilla]

34. Unnamed sources is not the FBI

I'll wait till named sources say the same. I'm betting the named sources will say something else though.

I read that the earth was only 6000 years old somewhere once too,but I didn't believe that either.

[Kingofalldems]

35. Betting or hoping?

[dorkzilla]

37. Betting

I take no solace in a Democratic tainting the party by association as I've been a registered Democrat for 32 years.

[Kingofalldems]

39. That's a hell of a lot longer than Sanders.

[dorkzilla]

40. He founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus in 1991

He's more of a Democratic than most.

[Kingofalldems]

43. He's not more of a Democrat than me.

Don't even go there. Democrat for 47 years here.

[dorkzilla]

46. Lol, okay your majesty...it's all about you, got it.

I'll just take the word of some anonymous internet poster over someone who's record I can check.

And if you're comparing this warmongering "democrat" to Sanders just because Feinstein calls herself a democrat, good luck with that.

[Kingofalldems]

52. You said he's more of a Democrat than most.

I responded. You chose a personal insult. Says a lot about you.

Just about 10 more days BTW. Enjoy.

[dorkzilla]

55. I did nothing of the sort

You chose to make it about you and I was pointing out how self-centered the statement was. Says more about you if anyone, specially in light of your choice of screen name. King? Okie dokie!

Moreover, instead of focusing on the real comparison of Feinstein versus Sanders, you continued to make it about you.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near....

[Kingofalldems]

63. Bye now. This is nonsense.

You like Bernie? Good for you.

10 days.

[dorkzilla]

64. Nonsense indeed! nt

[Peace Patriot]

69. I've been an active CA Democrat for 56 years, since I was 16 and canvassed for JFK...

...and the first Governor Brown, and was President of the Young Democrats in San Bernardino County, CA, when it was a very blue, labor friendly county.

And I hereby formally adopt Bernie Sanders into the Democratic family! He has the values that my parents and grandparents believed in, and that I've believed in all these years. He is a New Deal Democrat who chose wisely and courageously, as a political office holder, to distance himself from corrupt oligarchs like Diane Feinstein who have taken over our party and turned it to shit--to war, and greed, and putrid cronyism, and transglobal corporate rule.

He was right to do that. I am extremely impressed with his doing that. I wish I had done that when I began to realize how utterly our party leaders were betraying us--starting circa Reagan, Iran-Contra and their failure to impeach Reagan for a clear, blatant violation of the Boland Amendment in the Reagan/'contra' war on Nicaragua! Our Democratic leaders went for the money--Reagan making the rich richer. It started then. I know this personally because of my political connections in CA at the time. They abandoned the New Deal and went for the money! I did not know, then, how pervasive it was going to be. I now know. And Feinstein is a major archetype of that disgusting betrayal. And Hillary Clinton is another.

Bernie Sanders is a Democrat and they are NOT.

[laserhaas]

79. Wrapping themselves in party flags and touting their own goodness, bodes for naught

Hillary and Diane can just go spend their monies
(while of hopes & prayers, we never prove the way they got it)

[Ned Flanders]

85. OMG, an "I'm a better democrat" pissing contest!

Typical HRC attitude.

[Kingofalldems]

87. Typical post from you.

Back at you.

Oh yeah, 9 more days.

[Ned Flanders]

89. I'm flattered...

...you pay that much attention to my little posts. But you forgot to mock me for having so few.

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Oh Ha Ha.

[Kingofalldems]

44. Oh ha ha yourself. Facts are sometimes difficult to accept.

[Jester Messiah]

27. Nope.

It doesn't just go away because she says so. Too bad, so sad.

[ish of the hammer]

32. Feinstein has made millions and millions of dollars while a senator -

Enough is enough!

[MisterP]

38. blood money, in fact

http://www.antiwar.com/frank/?articleid=8609
plus selling off USPS

[scottie55]

33. No Crime Huh? Really? Says Who?

The problem is powerful people don't get prosecuted even when they do crimes.

Amerika.

Let the pillaging continue.

God speed!

[cliffordu]

47. I'm sure the FBI is packing their toys and going home

Even as I type this...

[saltpoint]

53. Dear Senator Feinstein: Here's a suggestion --

Let's let the FBI conclude its investigation.

If you have misgivings about the FBI, do proceed to voice them.

Otherwise, you do your job and let them do theirs.

[Gore1FL]

60. The "broke no law" line is getting old.

I'd be happier if someone could raise that to "wasn't a incredibly stupid proactive mistake."

But alas, no one can.

[riversedge]

65. Can you name one law she has

[Gore1FL]

66. Re-read my post for understanding. nt

[ReRe]

61. Feinstein!

Diane Feinstein coming out like this proves to me that Hillary MUST be guilty of something. Maybe DiFi's thumbprint is on Hillary's e-mails somewhere?

Difi knows nothing about Hillary's innocence or guilt. And wasn't the report a total of 81 pages?

People like DiFi in our government is just another reason to get Bernie Sanders into the White House.

[DrBulldog]

62. Diane Feinstein - a woman I once respected - and now just another Establishment Hack.

[Hoppy]

68. Time for Hillary to withdraw for the sake of the party.

[emsimon33]

70. Actually, enough is enough with Feinstein.

She better be planning to retire because she will not win another term in the Senate.

[Sienna86]

77. It's over? Before the FBI is wrapped up? Really.

A little early to ask everyone to move on I think.

[laserhaas]

83. The big issue is the Foundation taking millions

From foreigners...while she was Sec. Of State

Its absurd that the media isnt pouncing all over influence peddling...Quid Pro Quo

[libdem4life]

94. "I hear" that the reason it's quiet is because there is a lot of

input into the contents of the emails. The coverup has failed and the issue has gone beyond just the stupidity and arrogance of flipping off protocol...and PBO. Hubris, unleashed and unfettered, is an addictive drug...hard to just stop.

Now it's up to the FBI to determine the results. State has bowed out which leaves PBO with some cover., although the AG is somehow in the mix. Since the FBI is not political, they are working hard not to appear partisan yet not to let it go. They can't. They have jailed people for much less than is already known.

All that's left to be determined, IMHO, is how powerful the Clintons are now. Do they carry the same weight now neither of them is in formal government service? I doubt it, but there will be preferential treatment, seems likely anyway.

[Arazi]

82. She's on a roll for Hillary these past few days isn't she?

Getting antsy @ that FBI report I think

[tabasco]

86. Apparently, Democrats are no longer concerned with open government laws,

freedom of information, public access to government documents, and government by the people, in general.

Count me out, the party left me.

[roamer65]

93. I've always loved Jello Biafra's nickname for her.

Dragon lady.
