Former Top Obama Military Intel Aide - Hillary should drop out because of emails.

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's former top military intelligence official said Hillary Clinton should pull out of the presidential race while the FBI investigate her use of a private email server for official government communication while secretary of state.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the retired chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency, made the call in an interview with Jake Tapper on "The Lead."
"If it were me, I would have been out the door and probably in jail," said Flynn, who decried what he said was a "lack of accountability, frankly, in a person who should have been much more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States of America.
"

Flynn, who headed the Defense Intelligence Agency from July 2012 to August 2014, told Tapper that Clinton "knew better" given the roles that she has had as a senator, a secretary of state, "even back when she was married to the president of the United States, she was going to have privileged information in that regard."


Everyone gets it except the pundits.

there have simply been three decades of rampant corruption, fraud and criminal activity. But I understand that royalty never has to face the music. But justice will someday be done. That's the way of the universe.

Just in case the snoopers get the vapors, I am not advocating violence. I am simply saying that eventually the peasants revolt when it becomes clear we're being played.

who are not exactly fans of the Clintons.

Look at how many Democrats (and superdelegates) supported Obama in 2008, over Hillary Clinton. That was a huge blow to Clinton.

Obama didn't even know about Clinton's private email server, and Clinton worked FOR Obama.

It's possible that a cadre of people have just decided that enough is enough.

Based on what I've read, I don't see how she gets away with it this time.
