Not showing your taxes is not illegal. In fact it is quite the opposite, it is your right. But if a democrat did it, I would probably participate in the political theater surrounding it, as you are doing now with Trump.

With Hillary, it is more messy, because while there is political theater on both sides with that, she likely did break the law as well.

Whether she is found guilty or not, they better do something to deter officials from doing the same thing in the future. Exposing government secrets to the world is dangerous business.

Can you imagine? Heck, they were demanding that Obama show his BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Notice that's not even a hard choice for Democrats.
If Hillary had 'willfully violated the law' - she would be indicted.

The new standard for government crooks. You have to prove willful intent.

The rest of us only have to be grossly negligent.

When she lied over and over again, it wasn't with willful intent. She was temporarily overcome by alien Pods.

Now, I suppose we, as zombies, are suppose to believe what she is saying now. I mean, we aren't thinking people. We too have been taken over by alien Pods.

If Trump would stop saying stupid things and simply concentrate on Hillary's scandals he will win. He should pound on Benghazi where she left our guys out there to die will she played politics. That would guarantee the veteran and active service member votes. Pounding home the Email scandal where knowingly broke the law and was not held accountable for it proves she is above the law should ensure the vote of everyone else who does not want to have a treasonous, criminal liar in the white house.
One other point Trump needs to pound home is Security when it comes to terrorists and the open border.


Even with all that the election is still Hillary's to lose and Trumps to win.

One has to love these kinds of comments filling this site: The republican's platform is to "get Hillary."
I guess when your fallback position is Trump and the fact every time he opens his mouth, he steps in another pile, maybe that is the only strategy the repubies have to offer.

BTW, here's the part of the article you failed to mention:
Among all voters, 60 percent say the outcome makes no difference in their vote choice, including an identical share of political independents. Republican voters are the most likely to say the outcome discourages them to support Clinton — 49 percent — though the vast majority of this group was already strongly opposed to her candidacy before the FBI's announcement.
Most say outcome of Clinton probe won't impact vote.



Bingo.

No, they just don't think she should be charged. I don't either because this was a simple GOP witch hunt without a care in the world for security. I'd like to see them go after their candidates with the same vigor as they do her. Then I would agree she should be charged.

A GOP "witch hunt" started by Obama's FBI.


The DNC talking points never grow old with you, do they?

In a normal year this would have ended her candidacy. But this year... not so much.


The fact of the matter is there is a crap ton of people that see her opponent as unredeemably terrible. So much so that they'll vote for her just to stop him from winning.


Hillary has folks who feel the same way about her, but it seems they are outnumbered by the number of people terrified of Trump.


I didn't even think it was possible to run someone more hated than a Clinton.

9% undecided, 35% wanted her to skate free.

43% of Americans say her email scandal makes them worried how she would perform as president.

Virtually all Democrats say it makes no difference in how they will vote though even if they wanted her charged.
Only 43%, that is scary. Hillary Clinton ignored the rules and just figured they would not apply to her while she was Secretary of State and still was under the watch of President Obama. Now if she gets elected President, there will be no one to watch over what she does.

It sort of is, potentially, like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.
