(2,338 posts)And it has ruined Huma's life.
Until she can Brillo pad the stink off of her. Which will take quite a while. I know. Been there. Even after 25 years, it still haunts me. And pisses me off. This election cycle has brought back all those hateful memories. They never entirely go away. Not for me, and I suspect, not for her, ever.
Sorry to hear about such issues and that you have to watch these crazy-ass Republicans behave this way.
We will thoroughly defeat them some day. It's going to take time.

(2,338 posts)What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? It did for me. Hillary has had to endure far worse than I ever did. I covet her strength. And endurance.
I look forward to her kicking some ass once in office.
She is the toughest cookie I have ever seen. (This coming from a Pastry Chef - I know tough cookies when I see 'em!)
I do feel a great deal of empathy for Huma. But she is a strong woman too. She will survive this. Probably with some scars, but she will.

Best to you, Sophie.

(31,260 posts)Comey, like any other political appointment, was CYA'ing. If his agents came to him with new information and he had refused to advise the House, some rogue agent would have leaked to the media, and that would have created one helluva circus, alleging a cover-up.
