I love it. It reinforces Lying Crooked Hillary's image as "the most corrupt person to ever seek the office".  |

This is all a vast right wing conspiracy.
Hillary's emails are going to go the same way as Benghazi. Don't you think we're tired of this "scandal"?
 I hope so. Clinton fatigue served us well in 2000. Does the country really want same old, same old? We'll find out. I suspect not. |

I know that I don't want to listen to this crap for the next four years and I don't see the Clintons as capable of avoiding doing stupid things like this. I'll do my part. Third party vote it is. |

This whole affair pretty much sums up why the Clintons have trust issues.
Yeah, nothing PROBABLY happened, and it was PROBABBlY just a innocent conversation, but..... We'll never really know for sure....

Personally, I think it was highly inappropriate for Obama to endorse Clinton while an ongoing investigation is being conducted into Clinton.
Is the justice department, lead by an Obama appointee really going to bring charges against someone running a presidential campaign and endorsed by the president, their boss? Even if charges are warranted?
Surely I'm not alone in harboring doubts.

I hope so. Clinton fatigue served us well in 2000. Does the country really want same old, same old? We'll find out. I suspect not. Actually, it was the opposite. Had Al Gore accepted Bill Clinton's help on the campaign trail he probably would have won. So, Hillary should rely heavily on Bill, and should cozy up to Obama? I think so, too. Look, objectively politically speaking Obama has the highest second term job approval of any president in History-- 56%. She's got decades of experience. She's got a regime, and the entire press core actively campaigning for her-- but she is playing on Trump's playing field. Trump has total frame control. She has bought into the "outsider" image being a requirement. It's not. In fact, outsiders have a habit of losing-- usually spectacularly. But Hillary is scared of her own shadow-- Trump has her off balance, and sadly for you and the rest of Hillary's supporters: she will stay off balance. She will never collect herself and run as the calm, cool, collected steady hand on the wheel. Trump lives rent-free in her head. She will eventually Jeb! herself-- believing, because her top advisers believe, that "no one has ever really gone after Trump"- he's been running unchallenged on free media, and if someone would just punch this guy in the face, he's got a glass jaw, and he'll go down. Ask Marco Rubio how that worked out... |

Oh, and as to the topic: The purpose of Bill Clinton meeting Lynch on the tarmac and boarding her plane was a threat. Simple as that. I'm sure they only made small talk-- Clinton is not so bold as to openly threaten her. And she wasn't the only one he threatened by showing up like this. The whole FBI bureaucracy was sent a very clear message by this: you're not going to suggest LCH be prosecuted. You do that, your career is over.

He wasn't my second, or third pick. But he is not inherently corrupt as LCH is. I will be voting for Trump- and I did not come to the decision lightly. He is in fact the lesser of two evils. Still evil? Perhaps. I'm willing to live with it. LCH is the devil. |

I believe this incident requires at least 8-9 costly Congressional investigations.

The whole FBI bureaucracy was sent a very clear message by this: you're not going to suggest LCH be prosecuted. You do that, your career is over. You're imaging nefarious actions when there are only stupid ones.
Bill has always done his friendly good ole boy routine. He's a smooth talker and no doubt thinks he can charm anyone if only he can get in the same room with them for a little while. But he wasn't threatening anyone.
Hillary is no doubt livid over this, as she has been her whole life whenever Bill got overfriendly with pretty much every women (and intern) he met.
Fortunately for her, Trump overshadowed this flap by displaying an anti-Hillary ad someone on his staff lifted from an anti-sematic website, and then, as usual, refusing to apologize for it, instead going onto Twitter to claim the media was attacking him again. Poor little Donald!
This crappy election will no doubt come down to who does or stays the most ridiculous thing right before the election.
