Hillary Clinton says "supporting veterans is a sacred responsibility". So why, after five years,

hasn't she apologized to Ray McGovern? He turned his back to her at George Washington University and took a severe beatdown before being arrested.

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund/PCJF is involved in a suit against GWU filed by Ray McGovern.

Newly released documents from Clinton's private email server speaks to his arrest. She didn't release the emails until last week.

Another case of her hypocrisy-big time--SHAME ON YOU HILLARY!

Documents newly released from Secretary Clinton's private email server confirm that she was well aware of the incident, even receiving photographs of Mr. McGovern's injuries. In an internal email, Clinton's adviser Sidney Blumenthal wrote "something bad happened" and recommended an apology be issued to Mr. McGovern. Clinton disclaimed responsibility and pointed the finger at George Washington University but promised "I'll see what else can be done." She didn't explain why she remained silent and did nothing while this happened in front of her.

These documents were not turned over to the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund when it sought emails related to Mr. McGovern's arrest in the wake of the incident. Instead, Secretary Clinton kept them out of the public's view.

Me, with my SSDI fixed income, I gave a large part of an inheritance to homeless veterans a couple of years ago.

Kick.

against the Iraq War in 2002. He appeared in my city and spoke very eloquently and passionately against the IWR. I'll never forget it. There we all were, a bunch of lefty Dems and he said to us, "I'm three things, a Republican, a conservative and a Christian. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld et al, are none of those things."

He made quite an impression on everyone that night. I'm so sorry he was treated so badly for asserting his First Amendment privilege. Wasn't that what our soldiers went to Iraq for after all? To protect our freedoms? It absolutely sickens me that HRC refused to apologize to this man who has more integrity in his little finger than Hillary could ever hope to have. Nothing is sacred to her except power and the almighty dollar.

K & R.
