Clintons are consistent... They are very much a living representation of the house of cards.

Pretty much. Good thing I like the Underwoods.

The bigger question is, does anyone really give a shit about the emails?

Nothing burger.

IMO it's wrong. Very wrong. But the people who care the most are just in a witch hunt or else they'd be off obsessing about other bigger things.

I think it was done out of convenience and it became a crumb for the Hillary haters to feast on.

Yep. It's politically motivated Kabuki theater just like the 27 Benghazi investigations. The R's obsession with the Clintons a bit disturbing. I guess they realize they can't win on merit so they try one failed gambit after another to knee-cap the competition. The HillTron 4000 cackles and rolls away.

So you don't care that the woman about to be the President brazenly circumvented the Freedom of Information Act by conducting state business on a private e-mail server? Not to mention, violating all kinds of security protocols and committing numerous felonies in the process.

She's not the only Obama employee to do this, BTW. Lois Lerner's e-mails mysteriously went missing during an investigation into why the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups and a high ranking EPA official was busted using private e-mail to coordinate business with a Left Wing environmentalist group.

But it's all just a witch hunt amirite?

If none of this is a problem for you then you forfeit your right to ever complain about government corruption or accountability for the rest of your life.

I get a lot of quiet amusement watching my Republican friends and colleagues twist themselves into Gordian Knots over all the evil those slippery Clinton get away with, seemingly on a daily basis.

They aren't really getting away with anything as much as just not getting punished for anything because they are Democrats.

It wouldn't be a witch hunt if there was an interest in applying the same standards to right-wing politicians. Saying the Democrats get away with it "just cause" encapsulates that. Insane, especially after the Bush/Cheney years. There's just no basis in fact.

[Hannibal]

I don't remember multiple investigations during the Bush-Cheney years that reached a dead end with mysteriously missing e-mails and numerous violations of federal laws pertaining to the management of information. Perhaps you can refresh my memory.

But I do remember the Repubilcans throwing Tom Delay and Newt Gingrich under the bus, to name just a couple of examples. They don't have a "circle the wagons" mentality, unfortunately. They didn't even circle the wagons around Nixon.

So have we firmly established that we don't care if our elected officials violate federal laws that that any attempt to bring them to justice is a politically motivated "witch hunt"? This includes abuse of power to target political enemies (the IRS) and e-mails mysteriously going missing. Let's get everybody on the record for future reference.

"in order to win votes from people who hold “others” to blame for the country’s problems and theirs -- other races, other religions, other classes." a dem friend posted this on face book from an article on why republicans should vote for Hillary. I laughed as that reads like the democrat playbook..

LOL, Entropy. I marvel at the lack of self-awareness in the world. It's like The Wizard mocking some dude fucking a lawn mower for his inability to secure non-penal human contact.

Just missing pallets of cash? But, hey NBD.
