A judge just made clear that Hillary's email problems aren't going away anytime soon

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials should be questioned about whether Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state undermined public access to official government records, as required under the Freedom of Information Act. "There has been a constant drip, drip, drip of declarations. When does it stop?" US District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said in a Tuesday decision, according to The Washington Post.

Further complicating Clinton's argument that she has been completely transparent is the fact that she deleted about 31,000 emails she says were "personal" in nature before handing her inbox over to the State Department. Those deleted emails would have been captured by a government server and preserved as federal records had Clinton used a state.gov email address.

All of this gives weight to the argument in Sullivan's decision on Tuesday. He wrote that there is "at least a 'reasonable suspicion'" that Clinton's private setup undermined the public's right to access official government records.

Hillary Clinton’s emails could now "take on a life of their own," Anne L. Weismann, executive director of the Campaign for Accountability, told The Washington Post. And the troubles might not end, she added, "until there are endless depositions of top [agency] aides and officials, and just a parade of horribles."

It's the "taking on a life of its own" that's a problem for a presidential candidate, natch.

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

hasn't she apologized to Ray McGovern?

Newly released documents from Clinton's private email server speak to his arrest.

Then there are all those tender emails between her and Henry Kissinger, and so much more.

SHE"S LOOKING INTO IT.

6. She lies a lot, and seems to not give a damn, doesn't she? I don't understand that 1% thing.

8. this was the vast difference on stage last night during the town hall

Sanders just talks openly to people. there's no filter b/c he doesn't have to check himself for what he needs to lie about. he's engaging and funny. he tells stories. you don't get the feeling he's trying to sell you, or manipulate the people in the crowd.

then HRC gets on. first there's the manipulation with having people stand up in the audience who she was meeting with earlier. then she takes a foreign policy question that she CAN'T answer honestly, so she (ahem) DRONES on for what seems like 10 minutes while the audience is looking around as if they don't know what the heck she's talking about. she's acting as if she's guilty of something and is making a grand excuse for herself. it gets worse from there. the whole thing was a trainwreck for her -- start to finish.

5. HRC:"You're asking me to say I have never, I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will"

L.I.E.

9. We, the people are looking into that too, Hillary. All power to us, like the Constitution states n/t
