The emails show CLASSIFIED INFO so highly classified being sent and received on Hilda's private server the Congressmen were not able to read them. Huma is looking at 30 years in Leavenworth for similar crimes. Denial is your home and lies are all you know jelly. American voters determined the truth and gave POTUS Elect Trump a mandate to drain the swamp.

Maybe some FACTS will stop your silly partisan spin:

Outside California, Clinton Is
A Big-Time Popular Vote Loser

But a closer look at the election returns show that Hillary's lead in the popular vote is entirely due to her oversized margin of victory in uber-liberal California.

Donald Trump´s opponents are having something of a field day with news that Hillary Clinton´s lead in the popular vote currently tops 1 million. As US News put it, "Trump´s legitimacy has been called into question by his adversaries because he didn´t win the popular vote, adding to the desire among his critics to defy him from the start of his administration." The Nation alerted its readers that "Republican nominee will become president with less popular support than a number of major-party candidates who lost races for the presidency." (The Nation conveniently ignores the fact that Bill Clinton won his

Can't be done -- Impossible. Apple has asked its primary manufacturing partners, Foxconn and Pegatron, to explore making iPhones in the US, Nikkei reported on Thursday. Foxconn has worked on a plan, according to the report, but Pegatron has not, saying that it would be too expensive. Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou is reportedly lukewarm on the plan, too, because of the rise in production costs. Foxconn's second most powerful executive, Sharp President Tai Jeng-Wu, talked about making parts in the United States during a recent public speech. "We are now building a new [OLED] facility in Japan. We can make [OLED panels, a kind of screen] in the US too," he said. "If our key customer demands us to manufacture in the US, is it possible for us not to do so?" One key reason Apple might be considering a made-in-America iPhone is because President-elect Donald Trump has publicly called for the company to build its product in the US, and threatened tariffs on imports from China. "I'm going to get Apple to start making their computers and their iPhones on our land, not in China," Trump said during a rally in March. "How does it help us when they make it in China?" Apple sold 232 million iPhones in 2015. A more expensive iPhoneThere are many reasons a made-in-America iPhone is improbable, starting with cost. "Making iPhones in the US means the cost will more than double," a source told Nikkei. But there are other problems. Most of the parts that go into an iPhone come from companies in Asia, and the just-in-time manufacturing processes that Apple uses mean that shipping components across the Pacific Ocean could become costly. "A large part of the reason electronics moved overseas is because of the entire supply chain over there," Columbia economics professor Amit Khandelwal previously told Business Insider. "It may be a lower cost to produce the final product as compared to the US, but there's also an advantage is that you're close to your other input suppliers who are other parts of the East Asia supply chain." Even if iPhones were made in the US, economists say there's a chance that the factories would use a substantial amount of automation and robots, which means that the production of a made-in-America iPhone might not create as many jobs as Trump supporters may expect. Apple currently makes the Mac Pro in Texas, but that's a low-volume product. It also makes some iMacs in Ireland.
