It was so out of context how they matched up the videos. Like in one instance she said "to the best of my knowledge there were no classified emails" they cut it to say" there were no classified emails". I screamed at the tv during that segment.

Lying to Congress is nothing compared to running a Nuremburg Trials-sized prosecution of the former Bush Administration for systematic violation of the Presidential Records Act. Millions of emails from that era are due to be turned over to the Shrub Presidential Library, but they are missing.

These are not emails about picking up the kids at school; they were emails concerning the run-up to 9/11, manipulation of oil prices, anthrax, lying to sell a war, and the financial meltdown they triggered to mar President Obama's tenure and facilitate their clean getaway. The logical and legal assumption is that the emails were destroyed to conceal criminal activities related to those things. Nothing of that sort was pinned to Mrs. Clinton's own email scandal.

Lest you doubt me, note that we had a preview of things to come only two months ago, when the Saudis and the GOP were colluding to freeze Saudi oil production in an attempt to destabilize the American economy, as they did in 2000. President Obama dropped in on them and in less than half a day, the Saudis decided they weren't going to halt oil production this year. He did it by threatening to release classified portions of the 9/11 Commission Report and open the Saudis to victims' lawsuits--and probably also the "destroyed" emails that discussed 9/11 in advance.

Mrs. Clinton will be able to treat the Republican Party in the exact same way, as criminals tagged with the goods, this time unprotected by Republicans in the White House.

The GOP is apparently on a suicide mission this election. This might be the beginnings of a coming political realignment. I mean, why are so many appear to be abandoning their party this time and the ones who are left are torching the place on the way out. The Democratic Party might be getting a lot bigger soon, and that tent can only stretch so much.

emails marked as classified info constitutes 'criminal intent,' and loses his patience

Cummings is next, axing about the thirty THOUSAND emails, and the missing classifiers on the two emails that may be the only ones subject to this entire witch hunt

he says he hopes the MEDIA is paying attention to this, (because this is the CRUX of the whole inquisition)

calling this once again to the attention to the PRESS, and emphasizing the ERROR in classification, citing Watson Coleman's question to Comey, in which Comey reveals he DIDN'T KNOW about the misclassification

If she wins, they will investigate her for her entire term(s). Justified or not; crime or baseless witch hunt, it doesn't matter to them and they will not stop.

If someone thought that reason, truth and justice, or fairness and truth would prevail, they are too naive for words. No fact or reality will matter to the conservative, GOP, Tea party morans.
