It's Not About Hillary's Emails, But Hillary

HILLARY CLINTON



That's the number of times Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will have been dragged before the GOP controlled House Select Committee to testify about Benghazi if she testifies as reports say this October. The date hasn't as yet been officially confirmed. This time the panel will zero in on Clinton's private emails to make the case that as then Secretary of State she either badly bungled the U.S. response to the Benghazi attack or deliberately lied about what she did or didn't do to prevent the attack.

The emails supposedly contain classified material that can be crucial to establishing the GOP's bogus case against Clinton. The GOP quickly jumped all over a report from a government inspector general that a handful of Clinton's personal emails contained classified material. The government investigator did not say what the nature of the classified material was, whether the alleged transmitting of this material was inadvertent, or whose responsibility it was to insure the classified material was marked as classified.

That didn't really matter. The relentless GOP narrative has been that Clinton illegally used her private email account to conduct State Department business and that those emails will show a pattern of neglect, incompetence and cover-up. The story got even bigger when a tantalizing hint was dropped that there could even be a criminal probe into Clinton's supposed misuse of her emails.

None of this is new stuff. It's been hashed and rehashed over so much that if anything the raw facts about the emails have been blurred or distorted. The facts, though, are clear. There is absolutely no proof that Clinton did anything wrong in using her private server to conduct some State Department business. There was no legal prohibition on any government employee using their personal email account to conduct government business at the time she did. The GOP has tried hard to poison the public well with the suggestion that Clinton may have destroyed or mishandled, either deliberately or accidentally, government documents tied back into Benghazi.................

1. She's been under fire for one thing or another for almost 30 years - it's what makes her tougher...

...and now even MORE qualified because she can take just about anything. And she does it with a smile!

2. I don't recall the NYT going after Bush and his WMD with this much vigor.

No one even gives a shit about email-gate. I know no one who has heard of this outside DU. By the time the election comes, any juice this lame squib of a story has will have burned itself out. The NYT caught with its pants down about it just shows how eager they are to try to inflate this into a thing.

3. The GOP is really scared of Hillary Clinton and will use dirty tricks to stop her

4. NOBODY cares about her emails except for people who never would've voted for her in the first place

No voter is going to walk into the voting booth next November saying "Well, I like a lot of the things Hillary says about the issues, but her emails...I don't know. I better just vote for Trump/Walker/Jeb/Rubio."

Please.

5. That is SO true! Shameful! nt
