Exactly how was the investigation a political stunt if it was started by her own party before she was nominated?

The penalty will be her and McSame losing the election. Justice is served.

All politicians and bosses for that matter abuse their power.....what's any different? Even people on these message boards do it.

That is because she committed no crime. She has an ethics problem but that is as far as it goes, no crime committed.
