Inode, This stuff matters to thoughtful people. I have a friend, a real "progressive" and a big supporter of Bernie Sanders to the point where he even volunteered for his campaign here in Northern California. He knows full well how crooked Hillary is. He doesn't employ CJ-style pseudo-logic in defending her dubious character. He probably won't be voting for Hillary this November, even if Trump has a snowball's chance in hell of winning. The reason why, however, is because he fears Hillary isn't a true "progressive," but rather a "neo-con" and a friend of Wall Street and other crony capitalists. In other words, she would be the worst choice to bring America to the promised land of a socialist utopia. Tenchusatsu

Ms. Lynch did the right thing this morning and put her mess behind her. bs This was not a "chance" meeting.

Ms. Lynch did the right thing this morning and put her mess behind her. As I just posted elsewhere, Ms. Lynch IMHO is a hell of a smart woman. By this "mishap" I believe she outsmarted them all, Bill Clinton - of course - but also Obama and his otherwise possible ways of putting the squeeze on her to bar any FBI actions against Hillary. /Taro

Yes, she could of blocked it. But, if everyone else is in agreement, why should she? Other than that, you have no idea, as you say. There is no proof that money had anything to do with it. If money was a factor, why was everyone else left out? Why would money only be a factor for one of the nine members? Remember that it takes only one member to object. Unless, of course, you want to claim that Hillary was threatening their lives if they objected... The Left tends to overlook baseless claims of ethical violations by the Right. If y'all had something like proof instead of wild accusations, there would be some traction. But y'all have spent decades flinging accusations at the Clintons and, when millions of dollars are spent checking into them, nothing is found. So after decades of crying wolf, you expect to have any credibility at all? Really? So y'all have a lack of credibility. And you have zero understanding of what ethics is. Making shit up doesn't count, for example. As to the plane situation, Bill made a bad call as far as judgement. But note, that was Bill and not Hillary. Like many of the claims you made against Hillary, even if they showed a lack of integrity, and that isn't clear, those were by Bill and not Hillary. What matters to thoughtful people is reality. Not fantasies. Not mud-slinging. Not made up bullshit. You want to make accusations, fine. You want to be taken seriously, have something like proof. Even a little. Not wild ravings. Not "it might have happened so it must have". Not "you know, it could be true". Not conspiracy theories. But real, actual facts. Until then, prepare to be ignored. And sometimes laughed at.
