Clinton Email Scandal: It's Time Hillary Suspended Her Campaign
IBD is usually middle of the road and doesn't seem to aggressive, but this looks pretty strong. It also illustrates the dividse in our moral compass as a country, where one side will willingly ignore clear issues with ethics as long as it is their politician lying (along with all the issues of ethics the Obamanation gang has had). Yet the media and Republicrats will skewer and push hard on Trump. Maybe the Republicrats lack the will to ignore all the bad things...strange..

His examples include a free-trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a major foundation donor’s natural resource investments in the South American nation, development projects in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake in 2010, and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department.
And the typical lying BS from the Dumbocraps:
Conservative “super PACs” plan to seize on “Clinton Cash,” and a pro-Democrat super PAC has already assembled a dossier on Mr. Schweizer, a speechwriting consultant to former President George W. Bush and a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution who has contributed to the conservative website Breitbart.com, to make the case that he has a bias against Mrs. Clinton.
And the newly assembled Clinton campaign team is planning a full-court press to diminish the book as yet another conservative hit job.
A campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, called the book part of the Republicans’ coordinated attack strategy on Mrs. Clinton “twisting previously known facts into absurd conspiracy theories,” and he said “it will not be the first work of partisan-fueled fiction about the Clintons’ record, and we know it will not be the last.”
Where are the investigations into all this crap? By the time they get around to it, the servers are wiped, the witnesses all have amnesia or are dead and the Beast is in the WH. This has become so blatant with the Obamanation Administration, I think the dictatorship is here and the Sheeple just haven't caught up to it. All there is to oppose the takeover has been huge amounts of gas from the right wing gasbag collection in the media and congress.
If you don't see news reports for months reporting the corruption then that is your fault. It doesn't turn a straightforward article referring to what she did and the FBI investigation into "reaching" as if "her critics" "have nothing" and are "reaching far to find something to criticize". No one has to "reach far" to criticize and denounce Hillary Clinton.

One can say the limits are changing/overboard, but who sets the limits? The agencies. Definitely not some GS 14! Regardless, her behavior is aggreegious. You could not avoid prosecution if you did it.
The "other guys did it too" regarding servers is 1) a lame, irrelevant argument, and 2) a lie! Earlier Sec States used personal email addresses for personal emails and some fringe work emails. The ONLY examples of classification issues are from post-elevation of the classification level, where it was changed after the email was sent, generally after they left office. This is not a valid argument.
Hillary is a nasty, self-interested (in a one step ahead, non objective way), oligarchican. She considers the rules for others. She killed an ambassador and support staff. Just a nasty person.
I do not think Trump is smart enough to be this bad.

Now with regard to political appointees, sometimes political appointees have a chip in the grand political game that they can cash in at any time. For an example, see the following clip from Clear and Present Danger regarding the Potomac Two-Step:

Is this actually true? I've heard it's common practice of officials to use their own e-mail systems. I've also heard the information was not classified at the time she received it.
I think we're overboard about classifying stuff, not to protect US secrets, but to protect officials from people learning about unpopular or questionable actions they take.
I suspect the reason they use their own e-mail service is they reason e-mail is more akin to a phone call and they don't want every word they utter publicized. The truth is they don't want the public looking over their shoulder while they do their job. I am not saying I agree with that they should have private e-mails. The existence of them makes me wonder what they have to hide. But unless there's evidence she was using the private e-mail to hide illegal activities, I consider it a nothingburger.
Begging the question? Come on.
I was more liberal and less libertarian when I last read IBD 15 years ago, so I may have a different perspective if I read it now. It could have changed too.
I don't detect a bias in WSJ, which is exactly what I want-- the facts, not someone starting with a desired answer and then looking for facts. That's the whole reason scientific studies are blinded. We want the truth, despite human frailty. The WSJ op-ed page, though, last I read it a few years ago, did not seem at all afraid to publish potentially offensive opinions.
