2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Guess who initiated the investigation into Clinton's emails? John Kerry [View all]PufPuf23
(8,688 posts)47. Very good work paulthompson. That is some reveal that the investigation
started from John Kerry.
I have gone on record that I do not believe that Hillary Clinton will be indicted not because of her actions but because of her accumulated privilege.
Clinton my well be in (deserved) serious trouble with consequences.
