Look, how stupid do you have to be to know that you have presidential ambitions and still do something as harebrained and risky as set up your own email servers for your little job of - oh, just US Secretary of State? Isn't this supposed to be an intelligent woman? Could she not have seen this coming? Did she not know that presidential candidates get vetted?

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.

I'm sure she knew the risks and was aware it might be an issue however the communications that have been scrubbed would be far more damaging. She knows exactly what she is doing.

Actually if she did nothing wrong, then this would be nothing more than another wild goose chase put on by the GOP.

Even if she did nothing wrong, Hillary's email fiasco points to a big problem with her

Did something wrong? That has already been established.

She conducted government business on her private email server. That's clearly in violation of government rules and as Secretary of State, she was responsible for ensuring that the State Dept had policies in place that prevented such things.

She is getting a big big free pass because she is a Clinton. Remember there are one set of rules for them and a different set for the rest of us.

I doubt any smoking gun will be found in the emails but it was an incredibly stupid decision for her to run her own private email server and not use a state.gov email address. Also stupid of the Administration to allow this. She's planned for 8 years to run for President and yet she still did this.

Do you honestly think the typical American voter really cares about this? This is just something to keep the political circles occupied for a while, there really isn't anything here to interest most people.

Yes.

It's only the delusional Clinton supporters who wish to believe they don't.

Yep, and you can keep telling yourself that when you watch the GOP lose to her.

Actually no "if" about it.
The extent is the only thing without a final determination as of yet.

You can tell this to all the DNC senators who lost their seats in 2014 because of what I said. There is a reason that I put "delusional" in my post.
