In reply to the discussion: Hillary folks DO REALIZE that Hillary will be found to have deliberately violated the FOIA, RIGHT? [View all]Rilgin
(787 posts)Someone mentioned that the fbi found additional work emails not turned over. However, the reason that her email server and email that was not a .gov address was discovered was not because of a proper response to FOIA requests. The state department responded by saying there were none because there were no hillary_clinton.gov emails and she did not after leaving office send her emails to the government archivists. The 30,000 were produced years after her leaving office and after FOIA requests went unanswered.
Similarly even though it was a partisan and political committee and ginned up scandal, congress has oversight responsibilities and had a right in the Benghazi hearings to her emails without the issues. We will want the oversight if we democrats control congress and have a right wing president.
Her setting up a private server and not archiving her emails with the government was intentionally to avoid transparency and that should bother you. It should clue you in on how much else of the Clinton public story is false.
Her negatives are not a mere problem. Unless trump is her opponent, It is hard to see her winning with her negatives. If keeping republicans out is important, people should be begging her to get out of the race. It is not about the positive aspects of Bernie's message it is how risky Hillary is as a candidate and how made up are her positions.
