RandomThoughts on the pending indictment

I keep hearing that Hillary won't be charged over the server, you better believe it. Well, technically, this is true. It's not the server, but the content of the emails that were to be hidden and the acts they document. I could lay it out, but I believe that she will face an indictment. She may be able to plea bargain it down, but she will be charged.

If you've gone to the library, girl, and looked it up then you know its true. You would also know it could all have been avoided if *anyone* on her staff would have had the bright idea of a mail forwarding filter. That would have satisfied both the records act and allowed a FOIA request to be fulfilled and none of the personal (oh yeah I'm pretty sure that included a bunch of foundation stuff) emails would have been disclosed.

Of course the damned thing would have still be hanging on the intertubes ready to be plucked like a honeysuckle blossom by any kid playing hopscotch with their NYC skip. But really would manny governments like to have a unfettered access to the communications traffic of the US Secretary of State? Walt star at that for a while and think about the implications. Heads should roll like some pab-subgenus attacked.

The road was long and I am owed beer and travel money.

We even call each other Marily--except when we disagree. Then one of us says, "We're not Marily on that." Mary came up with it. Or did I? Hard to tell.

I probably scared people off. Now, they're afraid to post on the thread until they figure out what I thought was so funny. Maybe you should bold key portions.

Jonathan Turley was one of the panelists and one of Hillary's supporters was as well. The supporter was throwing out very weak defenses that Turley was able to shoot down in nano seconds.

I got a laugh out of her trying to spin the Hillary is untrustworthy comment. Turley demolished her on the grounds for indictment.

Last week...

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

If Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush were not indicted , what are the odds Hillary will . Answer: zero.
Several countries have issued arrest warrants against them. They can not even travel abroad. This non-scandal about Hillary's email server is small potatoes compared to these war criminals.

That's the story right there. It's not about the emails being scrubbed now as it is about what is being found on them, which is to a normal mind, why they were hidden/deleted. It's just the opening chapter now.

I'm wondering if anyone else knows how the super duper secret home server was discovered? I "heard" it somehow came out of the Benghazi hearings. But naw, couldn't be because She Won. (Trey Gowdy big Yuck, however)

I'm serious...how was this information gleaned? Oh, and no smart one-liners. This is actual information. There is an answer. Just wonder if anyone here Knows?
