That's something Hilary doesn't want people to know.

The fact that she fired an ambassador for using a private email account is a real problem for her.

You don't really need a professional to do that especially if you are just wiping the whole thing.


Darik's Boot And Nuke | Hard Drive Disk Wipe and Data Clearing

That said I would expect they would wipe, it would jst be another irresponsible act if they didn't. Because of the sensitive nature of the material on there it raises a whole bunch of other questions about who handled that server.

This whole deal is so wrong on so many fronts it's ridiculous.

I would not investigate him. I specifically said I do not care if he used Hotmail or not. These kinds of "investigations" are a joke, and the reason why people despise Washington.

Having classified information being sent over a private server is no joke.

So in your mind, there was no valid reason for Obama to create a policy requiring government employees to use a .gov email address?

Or alternatively... how arrogant do you have to be that you can get away with this without facing election vetting issues?

Other politicians may be just as crooked, but at least many are more intelligent and thoughtful about how their choices are going to play out for their own goals.

Hillary deserves everything she is getting from this whole debacle.
She's a Liberal, so she knows the establishment media has her back....

She knows that she won't get the same treatment as Christ Christie did over Bridge gate, wherein the media set up a lose-lose situation for him.....

He was awful if he knew it was going on, and incompetent if he didn't...

That same assessment fits this Hillary email sitch perfectly, but it'll be a snowballs chance is hell before the media treats it the same way.

You're seeing a preview of her administration.....a total lack of transparency, lying, denying, deceiving, stone-walling, etc etc etc.

The way such issues are being used to play petty political games is a joke, and the reason why people would rather choose a guy like Donald Trump than the clowns in DC.

You are not concerned about the emails, you talk about it because you don't like Hillary. Who do you think you are kidding?

Besides, you are wasting your time, because she is not going to win the primaries. These elections are all about GOP candidates. Your focus should be on finding the best GOP candidate, not on kicking mud on someone who doesn't have a chance.

Sorry, I thought that was easy for you to understand, presidential elections rely on electoral college votes and takes a total of 270 to win which means a candidate needs to win lots of states, not just one. If you think 2014 means anything in 2016, then you must have thought the same thing in 2012 because of what happened in 2010.

I will also point out another factor that you have not considered, in 2014 the Democrats had a number of Senate seats up for election, this coming election it will be flipped. In 2016, the Democrats will have to defend 10 seats in mostly liberal states while the Republicans will have to defend 24 seats in a mix of states meaning the Democrats are gonna be on attack for any one of those seats that is a risk for the Republicans to lose.

Also another thing to consider, the Democrats are already much closer to 270 than the Republicans which means the Democrats only have to win a swing state or two while the Republicans have to win all of them.

Now I understand you probably don't want to admit to yourself that 2016 is gonna be a bad year for the Republicans, but that is what kind of election they will be facing.

As for the term right winger, it means anyone who's political view is on the right side of the political spectrum. So no, it is not a "name calling" word.....nor would I take offense to someone calling me "left winger" or "leftist."

You can get all current polling and news stories from around the nation on Realclearpoltics. Good site.
Based on the GOP's track record, I have a feeling this will result in no indictments or charges of any kind. Heck, they are still trying to find something from Benghazi to charge someone with how many years later now? This is just smoke and mirrors from a desperate Republican party.
