-her-face on at the same time as Hugh Hewitt and Giuliani (on phone) with Ed Rendell, ONE Dem (stuck in some greenroom) who barely got to say anything. CNN was worse! They had Darrell "Car Thief" Issa.

Every

Democrat should write the Skewed-news outlets and tell them that they're shilling for the Republican Party.

Pay no attention to the few people who might say bitter or negative things. At this point, it's their issue, not our nominee's.

democrats want the whole unvarnished truth, the cloud with every silver lining and vice versa.

republicans are the ones who only see things in black and white, or good and evil.

The media and RW have done their jobs well. Anything HRC does is suspect, as per their dictate.

Gossip and have truths by some is a bad habit to kick. Interesting how the Pundits are doing their darnest to beat a dead horse. We are seeing the real actors and actress's who think the sun rises and sets via their doing.

Anyone that thinks it was is blind to reality. The FBI determined that Hillary didn't commit a crime using a private server but that she was reckless and that she previously lied about the content of emails that crossed those servers. I know a lot of apologists will attack the messenger but that is simply the facts. Don't believe me just look at the website of the WaPo, which has been a huge Hillary backer. Here are some of the story headlines:

"How the FBI director systematically dismantled Hillary Clinton’s email defense" - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-the-fbi-director-systematically-dismantled-hillary-clintons-email-defense/2016/07/05/55c444ba-42da-11e6-8856-f26de2537a9d_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_clintonstatements705p%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

"Even without charges, FBI rebuke leaves a heavy political cloud over Clinton" - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/even-without-charges-fbi-rebuke-leaves-a-heavy-political-cloud-over-clinton/2016/07/05/79b6f712-42c8-11e6-bc99-7d269f8719b1_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_clintonemails-510pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

"Hillary Clinton’s email problems might be even worse than we thought" - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/05/hillary-clintons-email-problems-might-be-even-worse-than-we-thought/?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_fix-clinton-1245pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

And from the editorial board - "Clinton was ‘extremely careless.’ That is not a crime, but she must do better in the future." - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/clinton-was-extremely-careless-that-is-not-a-crime-but-she-must-do-better-in-the-future/2016/07/05/d85ba064-42d8-11e6-8856-f26de2537a9d_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-d%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Because she wasn't their choice, so of course they have to do the "but" thing. Whatever trips their triggers I suppose.

It was GOOD news today.
