Turn over ALL the servers she used to Congress.. Let a computer forensic team go thru those servers with a fine tooth comb...

That is likely the only thing that will satisfy Joe and Jane SixPack

EMAIL-GATE Day 2
"Of course I emailed my SecState!! OK, so yea, I knew that she used a non-governmental email, but I didn't know she had her own server!"
-President Obama

EMAIL-GATE Day 3
"Well, you see, there was this YouTube video......"
-President Barack Obama

Ya'all have to admit. If it was a GOP POTUS that was leading this dog and pony show, ya'all would be having a FIELD DAY!!! :D

But, since it's a DEM POTUS and ya'all are loyal Democrats, I guess I am the only one here who gets to have a field day! :D

Michale

So, Obama DID know about Hillary's non-governmental email address...

Your sense of irony, Michale, truly knows no bounds ... :)

I thought ya'all might like that.. :D

I'm not saying that the GOP is CAPABLE of moderation. :D

I'm simply saying that, if they can ACHIEVE moderation, then Hillary Clinton is toast.. By her own hand..

Michale

Okay, now THAT was funny!

Your sense of irony, Michale, truly knows no bounds ... :)

The onset of Clinton Fatigue is beginning to set in... The American people are going to roll their eyes at every Clinton scandal and think, "Do we really need this??"

Their ire will be directed at Clinton...

The danger to Republicans is that they will nit pick a throw every little tidbit up there...

"OH MY GODS!!! HILLARY CLINTON JAYWALKED LAST NIGHT!!!"

For Republicans, moderation is the key.

Undoubtedly Hillary will provide the GOP with PLENTY of material.. In the parlance of fighter pilots, it will be a "target rich environment"..

There won't be any need to throw every minor infarction out there...

The GOP doesn't want the American people rolling their eyes and direct the ire at the GOP..

Make everything about Clinton and you'll win...

Michale

In keeping with this, I will ask my fellow Weigantians that, when judging whether or not all the upcoming scandals are "real" scandals, I would hope ya'all would ask yourselves ONE simple question..

"Would xxxx Scandal be a 'real' scandal if it were happening to a Republican?"

That will help us all determine whether or not we are looking at "REAL" scandals....

Michale

Once again, our esteemed "leader" is behind the curve...

Thank the gods for the media or our President wouldn't have a CLUE what is going on in his administration!!

What was it that a Weigantian said?? Something about a leader who finds out wrongdoing in his own administration from the media isn't much of a leader??

Either Hillary never received an email from ANYONE in the Obama Administration or Obama is full of shit when he said he didn't know about Hillary's private email...

Michale

And the hits just keep on coming..

I mean, ignore the money and the conflict of interest...

Hillary is really really big on women's rights and such..

Yet her foundation accepts donations from countries who are THE biggest violators of women's rights..

And this is who the Left wants POTUS??

Hypocrisy much??

Michale

Amazing, the Facebook firewall imposed by HuffPo makes you have to reply to your loyal legions there via back channel - which you helpfully provide for yourself! Crazy!!!!

I refuse to access via Facebook myself. I don't like the direction HuffPo is taking post acquisition (I humbly submit the acronym POAQHuffPo).

Besides the new gate keeper, there are endless ads, stealth ads, clips that won't load, clips that have expired and endless scripts that hang my browser. I can't think of another major site that is so frustrating to use...and I access it much less than I used to.

I know you won't want to bad mouth the group that sort of feeds (and certainly does give you lots of exposure), but (sigh) I really miss the old free wheeling HuffPo circa Katrina.

Anyone wanna lay bets on the straw that breaks the Clinton's back???

Michale

Not just taking...

But I am sure ya'all will understand that point when it's Republicans who will just take, take, take and give nothing back...

THEN ya'all will howl and scream and whine "WHY WON'T THE GOP COMPROMISE!!!!"

And so it goes and so it goes...

Michale

Ain't it kewl when Democrats really stick it to Republicans!!?? :D

Bipartisanship!?? Shit, who needs that!!!

Compromise!!??? Yea, in yer face!!!!

Gee, I wonder why Republicans won't play nice with us.....???

Ya'all seeing a pattern?? :D

Michale

Yes, they have..

And the country has suffered immensely because of it..

But, fear not.. Things will turn around.. :D

Michale

That wasn't compromise, Michale. That was capitulation.

EXACTLY..

Democrat's "compromise" = capitulation

By George, I think yuv got it!!!

Michale

Thanks for the kind words!

I regret that due to not wanting to deal with Facebook, I cannot answer you directly at HuffPost, but just wanted to let you know I appreciated your comments.

-CW

OK, I think I have some aloe cream here somewhere... because Michale's going to need it for that bad burn!

Heh.

Couldn't resist.

Michale [15] -

What Democrats continually wonder: if we all know where we're going to end up, passing a bill with most Dems and some GOPers, then why do we have to go through all the pointless drama every single time?

Answer: it is a measure of Boehner's weak leadership. He can't control his own caucus. For years now you've been praising the GOP for standing firm and united, but that coin has now completely flipped. Dems are the ones who stand united almost every time, while the GOP fights among themselves. Admit that times have changed...

-CW

That wasn't compromise, Michale. That was capitulation.

Heh.

And yet, there are STILL Weigantians who actually believe that Republicans NEVER compromise on Democrat Legislation...

THAT little piece 'o BS has now been laid to rest...

Michale...

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
-Newt, from Aliens

Love it!! :D

Michale

Yes we will...

But the problem is ya'all rarely, if ever, acknowledge the cuts that the Left receives.. :D

But that's what makes this so much fun!! :D

Michale

OK, I've gone back over most of the past week and answered some comments (back to my Program Note with the radio interview link). Not entirely complete, but mostly.

Here's one for Michale:

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
-Newt, from Aliens

Also, sorry about that character tag misspelling, fixed it in my original comment, so thanks for highlighting it for me. ("Touché")

As for death by 1000 cuts, well, we'll certainly see which party suffers that in 2016, won't we?

:-)

-CW

Seriously though, CW...

You as much as anyone, knows what the hassle and process of setting up one's own private domain, servers, etc etc..

Why would ANYONE go to all that trouble??

Especially a politician....

Why would Hillary go to all that trouble and hassle to set up a private server in one of her many homes if not to have complete and utter control over what get's released...

And THEN she comes up with that bogus claim, "I want the public to see my emails"

I mean, come on!!! You have to admit it..

That ranks right up there with Obama's "I welcome the public debate on domestic surveillance" Lie Of The Year!!

If she really wanted to the public to read her emails, she wouldn't have set up the private server in the first place...

Hillary only wants the emails that SHE deems safe to be read by the public..

And, for the record, those aren't "HER" emails.

Those emails, every last one of them, belong to the American people... And, barring those with National Security implications, Hillary has absolutely NO RIGHT to keep a SINGLE email thru the clintonmail.com domain to herself.

NO..... RIGHT.... WHATSOEVER....

The simple fact that she went to so much trouble to hide her emails *proves* she has something to hide..

Is that the kind of POTUS ya'all want??

Michale

I just think the timing stinks to high heaven...

Touch&eactue;! Heh. No really, that's a hit below the waterline. I stand corrected. We'll all find out in June, won't we?

:D I get a good shot in now and again.. :D

My main point (I almost included a few GOP examples, like Walker's disastrous London appearance) was that this far out, NOTHING is actually "disqualifying" in the presidential race. Barring, of course, the proverbial "dead girl or a live boy" type of scandal...

I agree.. No *SINGLE* thing is disqualifying in the here and now..

But a death by a thousand cuts is still a death...

The fact that it is this far out is working against Hillary... There may come a time, sooner rather than later, where there WILL be a straw that breaks the camel's back and will cause Democrats to throw up their hands in disgust. Many are already doing it with the email/foreign donation scandals..

Like I have often said. Hillary has skeletons in her closet that has skeletons in THEIR closets...

How many micro-scandals can the American people take before they realize the dangers of putting a Clinton back in the White House??

Of course, that was a side issue of "underage prostitutes," but the potential remains that this week's award won't stand, either, I fully admit...

-CW

Yeah, I encourage anyone who thinks TheStig is somehow overstating the case to read the text of the proposed ballot initiative.

Whoo boy. It basically declares open season on gay people. And that's not an exaggeration at all. Read it.

Here in California. I just hope that my fellow state citizens refuse to sign the ballot signature initiative, and it never even makes it to the ballot. For shame.

John From Censornati [3] -

OK, now THAT was funny! Heh heh...

Michale [4] -

Yeah, Hillary will take some hits between now and when she announces, that's for sure, one way or another. But she's still polling far above any GOP challenger. So she'll probably survive...

As for Menendez, read the links. The case might not be as strong as it seems now. And I'll note that the only MDDOTW award for Menendez had to be rescinded later, so you may prove to be right on this one as well. Just didn't have any other Dem to ding this week (got any suggestions?), that's all.

[5] -

Touché! Heh. No really, that's a hit below the waterline. I stand corrected. We'll all find out in June, won't we?

[6] -

Yeah, but I dont' think the GOP will be running on "Obama screwed the economy and jobs market up" next year. That's just a gut feeling, mind you.

:-)

[7] -

OK, now you're just descending to a newly-identified disease: Hillary Derangement Syndrome. You could be "Patient Zero"! Heh.

My main point (I almost included a few GOP examples, like Walker's disastrous London appearance) was that this far out, NOTHING is actually "disqualifying" in the presidential race. Barring, of course, the proverbial "dead girl or a live boy" type of scandal...

You are right, though, I should have balanced it with a GOP example or two. It's just too damn early...

-CW

Sorry, but you are comparing eskimos and alligators..

Powell used a private email address thru a well known public company.. Yahoo, I believe. And he used it infrequently... There was obviously no intent to circumvent FOI practices..

Hillary set up her on email domain, using her on private servers and NEVER used anything BUT her private email address... The proves intent to evade FOI...

If THAT doesn't proven intent, then Hillary's own words would convince the political agnostic..

"As much as I am investigated, why would I use email?"
-Hillary Clinton

I know none of this will convince ya'all... For ya'all, there is absolutely NO scandals when it comes to the Obama Administration..

A college style hazing at an Iraqi prison filled with scumbags and terrorists?? Now THAT is a scandal...

But the IRS targeting conservative groups..?? Letting Americans die and then lying about the cause in Benghazi?? A SecState's Foundation receiving MILLIONS in donations??

Naaaww, none of those are "real" scandals..

Amazing how it's only Republican scandals that are REAL scandals..

Michale

Ya have heard the spin.. Now let's look at the facts..

92,898,000 Americans Not Working...

Net Employment Gains Since Recession Went To Foreign-Born...

So much for the GOOD news about the economy, eh??

Obamacare fails to kill jobs, once again

To put this another way, even after Wednesday's arguments, neither side should count too many chickens too early.

I'm just sayin' :D

Michale

Apparently, it was a problem under the Bush Administration...

But I'll be happy to tell you what the problem is..

"Rules are for thee and not for me.."

That's Hillary's attitude and it will piss Joe and Jane SixPack off...

The second "problem" is for Democrats...

"Another skeleton comes out of Hillary's closet. Do we really need this??"

I am also constrained to point out that apparently even HILLARY thinks it's a problem. She moved up her timetable because of it..

Time will tell, as it always does.. :D

But I noticed you didn't mention all the foreign donations to Clinton Foundation during Hillary's tenure as SecState... Another thing that will piss Joe and Jane SixPack off...

Even so, Senator Bob Menendez appears to be in quite a bit of hot water. The Department of Justice has leaked that it's about to bring criminal corruption charges against Menendez, for favors he performed for a friend of his, who also happened to be a big donor.

Timing of this corruption charge couldn't be more coincidental for the Obama Administration..

These charges have been languishing for years, but NOW they become an issue, right when Menendez has been holding Obama's feet to the fire over Iran sanctions..

Coincidence?? Yea, right. If you believe that, I have some swampland I wanna sell ya : D
