Could be, but never underestimate the power of the purse to buy others loyalties, even to the point they will willfully ignore law. Happens all the time. Look at the Obamanations Justice Department. In 8 years it has unfailingly prosecuted those they dislike, and have actively chased people that would otherwise be let go. The logic the Democrap masses will use is: If she wasn't indicted, she can't be guilty and it is a smear by the evil right wingers. Truth be damned, lies be told.

That is Bernies weak link, he does not want to call a turd a turd, if it means spoiling his own litterbox. He will dodge an issue and turn around and rant about the rich, and want them to be raped to pay for his giveaways. He is as dishonest as the rest morally.

I was asked to run for an open State House seat by the local Repub group once. I went to their meeting, they gave me a list of "you must support" (which included "against abortion"), and when I told them I would do it if the majority of the people told me they wanted whatever was being discussed, they said goodbye. All both parties want is a mouthpiece that will say and do their bidding, not represent their constituents.

That is my dilemma, it is the acceptance by that group of treason and lies and a "they all do it" attitude that is most disturbing.I know people who will still vote for her, who buy into the "vast right wing conspiracy" thing still. Our extinction nears, because our species is too stupid to survive, which was one message I think AR was trying to make.

Which is why impeachment is a dud. It relies on the integrity and honesty of the members, who are all as bad as the subject. The last few rounds of impeachment proceedings proved that. It is now a blunt tool made of plastic.

Make that a Thin veneer.

My first guess is that the democrats spend the money to buy lots of ads and get the media on their side. Secondly, the democrats tend to be dependent on a large government to fund their projects and their jobs, so they quietly downplay any bad stuff about their candidates. Its all cronyism.

I'd sure like to find out how the Democrats manage to prevent their candidates from raining on each other's parades, even when they have contested primaries. If the Republicans or Libertarians ever develop that power they'll become a serious challenge to the D's (which, for now, they are not).

I suppose the new Congress could impeach him between 1/3/17 and 1/20/17, if the new Senate has a 2/3 Republican majority, but that would be a bit too late to have any real effect. Impeachment without that majority is a non-starter.

I think a nasty rapper would have a field day with the lot of them...

Be Still my Heart that the possibility exists that we might see a public hanging soon...

Well said Herb! Keep using the plural because their daughter is up to her neck in corruption, too. Hillary can't even hide her meanness any more. It's all over her face. As far as Bill goes, I think that he is in the beginning stages of dementia. He rambles.

curious as to the timing of these and other revelations about the email scandal, so close to when Hiltery will lock up the democratic nomination...could there a be a pardon for delegates swap between HillaryBeast and Obama if she would release her delegates to Joe Biden....

This is the anti-establishment election of 2016. Enough of the corruption and the antiquated "rules" which keep the establishment in power and restrict our selection of president.

I do think that Trump will continue to tell us the emperor has no clothes (as would Sanders for that matter). Sanders is a real wacko when it comes to the socialism stuff, however, and I think pretty easy to defeat on that basis. His popularity is really anti-Hillary popularity. Trump and Sanders should "debate" and both can be anti-establishment "friends" of sorts. The differences between them are really pretty much obvious- and they are essentially who is going to pay for the freebies Sanders would be in favor of. Who wouldn't want the freebies if there was a money tree out there that didn't have to be watered. But of course, there is no free lunch today as there wasn't in the 20th century motor factory in AS.

That's definitely a part of my reasoning. Everyone, and I mean everyone, assumed it was "her turn" in 2008. Inevitable. Oops. And in 2016 it's just been a Democrat rerun of the same theme. But everything's changed. It really has. In spite of the MSM excuses and hype, Obama is a huge failure to most people. Even to a significant number of blue collar Democrats and young people. And Hillary is not seen as "the woman whose turn it is", but as a continuation of Obama. Bernie didn't get the support he has because he's been such a brilliant politician hiding his candle under a basket in Vermont. Gimme a break. A large part of my contrarian analysis is based on the fact that, in spite of the hype about "16 candidates and Republican's divided", that's all over and forgotten. Dems want Wasserman gone (oh, please, God), a majority of Bernie supporters on the convention rules committee. Less than a few weeks ago I thought (and yes, I am quite old enough to remember '68) the violent demonstrations would be in Cleveland. I'm not saying some won't be there, but I now think they'll be bigger and more negative to the voter in Philadelphia. And divided. Democrat vs. Democrat. The Republicans, once again based on a recent change in data, polls, etc, are going to, grudgingly perhaps with some, rally around Trump. The inevitable "anti-Trump" violent rallies will be against him, and, like '68, the voters are going to say: "Damn, I'm voting Republican, don't care who he is"...

It is not only Mrs. Clinton. Politicians have been doing this for centuries. Speaking loudly against the corruption of bribery while having monies slipped into their hands and pockets by the people they are condemning. What makes the Clintons unique is the grand scale upon which they do the above and their ability to get away with it by sheer brashness. How do they do it? Is it fear and intimidation? Something is going on. Everytime a white knight dons his armor picks up his lance and goes after anyone in the Clinton circle, he becomes feted like Lancelot, and winds up like Quixote. What happened to Gowdy? Or Isis? Ever since their committees wound down they seem to have melted into the wallpaper.

Now, finally, the Clinton arrogance has become so bad that even their supporters in the media are having difficulties standing up for them. Note, I keep using the plural, because if you think Bill isn't involved up to and over his naughty bits, you'd have to be delusional.

There's just something overwhelming about Shillary that makes me think of a song played by a rock band that came out of my "Sweet Home Alabama."
"That Smell" is about some guy's drug use, but the all the piled up plain as freakin' day corrupt excesses of Teflon Billary has come to stink worse than a heavily used 1890s outhouse beside an Alabama public park on a humid sweltering Fourth of July.

Bernie Sanders' eagerness to avoid diving into the Clinton email situation is the one nagging question about his personal honesty that bothers me. This is so obviously unquestionable, flagrant narcissistic misjudgment (which she readily and frequently admits), even without getting into the possibility of criminal indictment I have to question why he openly and frequently states it is "off limits."

Even if he never mentioned the FBI investigation, Sanders certainly has an obligation to build a case for her historical poor judgment. Her dismal failure with the health care plan, shutting out the medical establishment from planning. Her support of the second Gulf war against Iraq. Her incitement of American, British, and French interference in the Libyan civil war, with the horrible aftermath of Benghazi and societal chaos (he could do that even without questioning her bungling of the Benghazi incident). The botched "reset" of U.S.-Russia relations. There are many others, but that's a rich field he's left unplowed, maybe simply out of avoiding total alienation her followers who feel the only important thing about Hillary is that she has a vagina.

Donald Trump has been left to use all of this ammunition, and he's begun to fire the first shots. If Bernie thinks he's been noble and above the fray by avoiding any question of Hillary's credibility as a rightful occupant of the White House, he's shirked his duty to the American people he claims to support. A real Independent (and maybe he should think about running as one to establish credibility for a third party in future contests) would be free to fire away at Hillary to protect the America he says he loves.

Literally kill off the witnesses. She is an evil witch for sure, covered with a think veneer of civility.

I have thought that since 2008, when she was leading and then lost to a stranger, obama, at the last minute, she is a very fragile candidate and can easily lose again.

This time, Sanders came CLOSE to knocking her off the pedestal for being crooked, and now Trump is starting in on her crooked behavior. Trump and Sanders should debate, and go after Hillary big time.

Hillary will never do anything for Sanders if she gets nominated, and of course she will do nothing for Trump (or us for that matter) if she wins the election.

I will donate to help make up the $10m Trump wants to go to charity.

Its incredible that so many people actually support her at this point, in spite of her "untrustworthy" label. Its so unfair that Trump gets all the negativity, and Hillary skates through it.
