Hillary on the other hand, well, I would not want to be Bill today...
Very true but as you can see it's all about perception, I have to wonder why one of her handlers or his didn't mention that this was a very bad idea. You can see from the feeding frenzy that this was going to be front and center in the media.


Maybe she is glad to be out of the loop on the decision but that won't stop people from complaining that there were other forces at work if the judgment goes Clinton's way.

Yup. Liberals will turn a blind eye to corruption every time, apparently.

Bill didn't just walk across the tarmac and waltz up the steps of her plane. She has security. And when he asked to see her, the ethical answer would have been to tell him that any meeting with him would be highly unethical, and she would take a pass this time. But nobody has ever accused anyone in this administration of being ethical, so there you have it.

She was being polite? Good lord, liberals will spin anything about their beloved Clintons.

And there's nothing phony about the husband of someone being investigated by her, asking for a meeting, then having an announcement two days later that the investigation is on hold until after the election. It doesn't matter what was actually talked about (or how much money changed hands, or what threat was given) - it had all the makings of a bribe/threat, that worked. That's not phony, that's criminal.

These are Democrats we are talking about, who don't share the systemic corruption that envelopes the Republican Party. There are such things as genuine small talk that happen without the traditional GOP sleaze surrounding such things.

Bill certainly showed poor judgement, and the AG should not have allowed him to speak to her. They both know enough about Republicans to know they would start foaming and frothing, even if they only discussed the weather.
If only liberals could harness the huge spin that surrounds the Clintons - they could put an end to global warming once and for all.

The rumors are just more conservative attacks on strong women. Maybe that big strong man charmed her out of her integrity.
She got where she is by embracing corruption.

For the record, I'm a strong conservative woman. And I would have the guts to tell Slick Willy that I wouldn't meet with him. Which is it? She's a "polite" woman that is too meek to offend Clinton? Or a strong woman who can ignore his attempts to influence her? Can't have it both ways.

Because liberals can NEVER see the moral path until after the fact. And now she has to rely on "handlers" to think for her?

That image is chilling. She had that fake smile and sociopathic stare even in her youth.
That's the amazing part-they don't even try to hide the corruption-they are daring the people and more importantly the MSM to do something about it. And yet the MSM continues to hide their acts.

So do you actually think anything will come from this? Look at the Louis Lerner case-the IRS actively destroyed her emails and wiped servers to make sure backups couldn't be recovered. THat was not an accident and only an idiot will believe an "unrecoverable hard drive crash". Yet neither her, nor anyone in the admin has been held accountable. Americans died over Fast and Furious, no one held accountable. Benghazi? Ditto. Arrogant refusal to do the job of the executive branch and enforce our immigration laws? Same. Ignore the will and safety of the American people and import terrorists and those with communicable diseases? Check.

Yet when someone raises cattle, burns a couple acres of weeds or refuses to marry a couple of rump rangers, the entire force of the federal government comes down on them. Worst administration in history and a stain on American history.

Republicans can only remember two 'gates' at once, FOX knows this. The base gets confused easily.
