Not that I wouldn't put it past the nuts on the right to build some kind of inane conspiracy around this now. Stupidity like that is right up their alley.
I think everyone can draw their own conclusions as to why Hillary is "conveniently" out of the MSM spotlight... now the MSM can go back to bashing Trump to discourage voters so they'll hop on the Hillary bandwagon.

So what you're saying is that you DO believe this whole thing was a Clinton conspiracy to take the focus off of Hillary. Congratulation, you fit right in with the tinfoil brigade of the far right.

Well, apparently you don't look into factual sources because you didn't listen to Comey's statement.

"From the 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 of them in 52 e-mail chains were determined by the owning agency to have contained classified information when they were sent or received."

Very good...

There is a middle ground between them screwing us and us screwing them.

It's called "negotiation," which Trump wants to do on a bilateral basis.

He also lacks any awareness of tact and diplomacy - which are an essential part of negotiating complicated agreements between nations.
He has successfully done business all over the world.

So your argument fails.

Quote:
Trump also shows no inclination to learn or take advice from others.
Right. That's why he didn't win against 16 other Republican candidates...

Oh, wait...

But a majority of Democrats just vote the flavor of the month and this time it's to see a woman in power. They proved this back in 2008 when they elected Obama over Hillary - Obama had far less experience than Hillary at the time which they claim is why Trump would be a bad president and yet they chose Obama over Hillary. She wasn't good enough then but she's good enough now - go figure!
Well said.

What was that stupid Ronald Reagan thinking when he came back in 1980 after losing a hotly contested race in 1976? The idiot! Didn't he know if he wasn't good enough in '76, then he wasn't good enough in '80? It must be true because xray731 says it is.

You should read a history book once in a while so you don't look so silly.
You might consider reading a history book.

Reagan ran against an incumbent president -- Gerald Ford -- for the Republican nomination.

Hillary ran against Obama -- a one term senator who mostly voted "present."

So you're saying Hillary couldn't recognize classified material?

If that's the case, then she had no business being Secretary of State.

... and I'd agree. I'm not ignorant enough to believe it was a conspiracy... Nor am I ignorant enough to vote for a candidate because of their race or gender.

I'm not a Democrat either... but that should be obvious by now.

The Clintons always "arrange" these distractions, whether it's cops being shot in Dallas or the Chinese Embassy being bombed in Belgrade.

So basically what you are saying, then, is that it WAS a conspiracy.

Oh my. Take off the tinfoil, you sound absolutely ridiculous.

And? So? What does that have to do with this:

Reagan apparently "wasn't good enough" in 1976 but was "good enough" in 1980. Go figure!

Not only that, but the (C) was temporary, and should have been removed in at least one instance. Because it was in reference to a congratulatory phone call to another head of state. And the (C), apparently, meant "confidential" under the classification system.

I'm going to post the email in question, yet again. Crickets so far.

Quote:
Kirby said such "call sheets" are often treated as classified when being prepared but as unclassified when forwarded to the secretary for his or her use.
The State spokesman said he was aware of two instances where "Confidential"-level classification markings appeared in the set of emails State processed for public release under the Freedom of Information Act. He appeared to refer to a Fox News report last month that highlighted an email proposing a call from Clinton to Malawi Presidential Joyce Banda after she took power following the death of President Bingu wu Mutharika in April 2012.

It's all comparative.

You might consider looking up that word.

Hillary wasn't good enough compared to Obama -- a nobody -- while Reagan wasn't good enough compared to Ford -- a sitting U.S. president.
