Hard to say, actually.
Insurgent, anti-free trade, man of the people with a hint of potential violence. Fighting for the little guy against powerful elites.
Many have said, if she is going to get indicted, it won't be over emails or benghazi. It will be something Clinton Foundation related. It feels like those times you imagine winning the lottery and what you would do with the money, but I can't help but play the "What if?" game. What if....something came out that made her sure to lose the general election?
Well, after having digested the previous email dump and stewed on the apparent fact that the DNC machine, contrary to it's own rules, was pulling for Shillary from the very beginning and running on all 8 cylinders while doing it. A lot of people are considering that maybe he would have won a fair contest. Now we get another dump friday, with more showing how they came up with attack strategies, at a time they were publicly demanding he back of his attacks and keep it civil in the party. Practically directing the media. If she is indicted or excluded in the next week, the DNC will have no choice but Bernie. Being so last minute, and with all that we've seen these last few weeks suggesting he either should have either lost a nail biter or won, the DNC won't have a chance to play Biden, or Bloomberg. Anyone the DNC reaches for who isn't Bernie will be seen as a puppet for a corrupt establishment, and Bernie would be perfectly justified in running 3rd party and have very good odds on election day. The timing can't be coincidental, and if I held the cards Assange claims he has next to the ones he's played already, I'd play them out the same way if I didn't want her as POTUS.
Here's for hoping!
Julian Assange is a scumbag. I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.
Putin sees Trump as someone who might abandon his NATO obligations.
I would argue otherwise Jack. It's common knowledge the US has been doing all the heavy lifting of NATO for decades. While direct payments are something like 22% of NATO's budget, according to agreements, the other spending is completely disproportionate, and other NATO members have not been living up to their obligations. Calling them out on it does not mean Trump would back out.
I would suggest the contrary is likely true. The other Nations need the United States. Getting them to take their obligations seriously would result in a stronger NATO.
I think Julian Assange is blowing his WikiLeaks horn, as it seems to me that it's struggling for relevance after an initial spate of high profile leaks.
I rather doubt that anything that WikiLeaks can reveal wasn't already found by the FBI investigation, and possibly squashed by either Lynch, or the administration or Obama.
Don't get me wrong. If it happens and Hillary is indicted, I wont' shed a tear. I might even possibly start believing that 'too big to jail' isn't just some stupid misdirecting slogan for the idiot masses to consume and that there might even be a shred of integrity left in the US criminal justice system.
He's talking about the Clinton Foundation with these emails.
But wouldn't it be a pisser if Assange has some of those emails Hillary deleted?
That could certainly be an overlap with the FBI's completed email investigation.
She sure wouldn't want any emails about the Clinton Foundation popping up anywhere anytime.
Herr Trumph has always dreamed of putting a Trumph Tower in Moscow and his comments about NATO just might get it done. He doesn't need any maneuvering, he is firmly in Putin's pocket. They are like 2 peas in a pod. Keep you populace scared to death so you can pick their pockets. His campaign manager has already worked with Pro-Putin elements in the Ukraine.
For almost four decades, Donald Trump’s newly installed senior campaign adviser, Paul Manafort, has managed to juggle two different worlds: well known during US election season as a shrewd and tough political operative, he also boasts a hefty résumé as a consultant to or lobbyist for controversial foreign leaders and oligarchs with unsavory reputations.
The controversial clients Manafort has represented have paid him and his firms millions of dollars and form a who’s who of authoritarian leaders and scandal-plagued businessmen in Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines and more. On some occasions, Manafort has become involved in business deals that have sparked litigation and allegations of impropriety.

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to believe that the US would exist NATO, and further that the US would allow NATO to collapse, especially considering that NATO may be, or already has been, called on to combat ISIS and other radical, militant Muslim extremists.
First...you're not a mind reader and you have no idea of her intent except what she has admitted under oath and to the FBI.
Second...you're basing your false conclusions on the false premise that you can read her mind and that you know the law. Neither of which are true.
Russia is the most likely suspect.
Comey was appointed by Bush, the Bush family is close friends with the Clinton family. Lynch acted to prevent an indictment, Comey acted to prevent an indictment, and even on the off chance it moved forward, Obama would have pardoned her. There was, and is absolutely no chance she will be indicted for her crimes. Of course, we don't need the Washington Establishment to tell us in order to know she's a criminal. The only people they're fooling are the left-wing drones, and likely not even them. They just don't care that she's a criminal, so long as she's left.And yet, with all this clearly criminal actions Hillary took, the FBI still recommended that prosecution shouldn't proceed.
Is there really any doubt the fix was in?
Is there really any doubt that Hillary appears to be to big to jail?
Given all this, is it still very much baffling that so many would still vote her into POTUS.

I don't need to be a mind reader, she lied under oath, lied to the American people, and tried to destroy evidence. As I said in my previous post, what were the intentions behind lying, holding onto the emails for two years before destroying the ones she didn't send, destroying work-related emails, and dismantling her server, if it wasn't in an attempt to hide her guilt? She even waited until there was an investigation to do it.

What did she lie about that five congressional committees, countless hearings, the US State Department, NARA and an FBI investigation couldn't find?"We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI," Comey told House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) during one of the hearing's opening exchanges.
Asked whether Clinton lied under oath, Comey remarked that she did not do so to the FBI.
"Did Hillary Clinton break the law?" Chaffetz asked.
"In connection with her use of the email server? My judgment is that she did not," Comey said.
Chaffetz then asked whether it was that he was just not able to prosecute it or that Clinton broke the law.
"Well, I don't want to give an overly lawyerly answer," Comey said. "The question I always look at is there evidence that would establish beyond a reasonable doubt that somebody engaged in conduct that violated a criminal statute, and my judgment here is there is not. "
Comey: Clinton did not lie to the FBI - POLITICO
On Monday House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., sent a letter to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia asking for an investigation into whether she lied when testifying to Congress about her use of a private email server.
“The evidence collected by the FBI during its investigation of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email system appears to directly contradict several aspects of her sworn testimony,” Chaffetz and Goodlatte wrote in the letter.
“In light of those contradictions, the Department should investigate and determine whether to prosecute Secretary Clinton for violating statutes that prohibit perjury and false statements to Congress, or any other relevant statutes,” the letter continues.
Did Clinton lie to Congress about email? GOP seeks perjury probe
Republican leaders asked the Justice Department on Monday to open a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton lied to Congress in testimony last fall about her private email server, opening a new front in their long-running attacks on the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Read the laws instead of taking someone's word for it. I'd like to think you're someone who thinks for themselves instead of taking someone's word for it because. Just because. I just showed you every law she broke based on Comey's information. This means that Comey has unintentionally testified against her. He also never specifically said she broke no laws. If I recall correctly, and I'm fairly certain I do, all he said was that using a private server did not break the law, not that what she did with it didn't break the law.

Not much detail and leaving aside the Comey and Lynch speed bumps, this does sound interesting on its' face given the hacked DNC emails already released.

If I might help out.
Seems to be that Mrs. Clinton's testimony before congress had some inconsistencies with facts from other independent sources (I'm thinking the FBI's investigation). Let's hope that the Republican congressmen that are going to handle this aren't as ham fisted as the ones handling other investigations.
I think on this front, the electorate is warranted to demand more and better performance.
I think what they're saying, is that there may be proof in the hacked documents that the FBI didn't see that may prove she may have done exactly that. That's at least what it sounds like. As for me, it's all BS until whatever it is, is actually disclosed and authenticated.
Emphasis on MAY. I'm curious why "may" automatically causes some people to change the word to "will".
Would "pretty please live up to your obligations to your own security" be better?
Yeah, I'm finding it hard to believe that the US would exist NATO, and further that the US would allow NATO to collapse, especially considering that NATO may be, or already has been, called on to combat ISIS and other radical, militant Muslim extremists.
