5. I'm right there with you; it does seem a bit ridiculous and contrived now that facts are comin out...

I think on this email crap, as long as Hillary was being truthful in the explanations she gave today at her press conference, especially her emphatic statement that no classified materials were being privately held on President Clinton's server - and there's certainly no reason at present to suggest otherwise - she should survive this kerfuffle easily. It'll then be remembered as just another "tempest in a teapot."

There's SO much more to rightfully criticize when it comes to Hillary regarding real issues. So maybe, for some here who are ardent Hillary supporters, they actually should be somewhat happy with this journalist-created story to the extent it distracts from those issues.

idk, just a thought.
