...the last genuine news story on the private e-mail server has not yet been written. Do you really want that hanging over our election right now? Do you pretend to know what was and was not on that private server? How about ties to Wall Street, speaking fees from HMO's & banks, many possible instances of quid pro quo between the then Secretary of State and foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation?

And that's just scratching the surface of the most plausible and presently-visible problems.

The history of the Clintons is a history replete with scandals, and the ire of the right wing is only one small root of that larger tree.
