Sorry Stahl, I had to edit my posts
The simple fact that he made contact and in the way he did it. Was very inappropriate at the very least.out of all the years she was in office Bill picks the height of am investigation into his wife's handling of classified information. He picked that time to park planes side by side to talk to her? What was his email or memo system broken. He obviously didn't want to leave a paper trail.

And again I ask you find nothing wrong with that?

She should have refused to see him. The entire situation was inappropriate.

And no one knowing what they talked about during thier impromptu meeting on a runway in a private plane. Is kind of the whole point

lets say Melania Trump had an impromptu meeting with The head of the agency that Robert Muller was going to refer his case and recommendation to. And that meeting took place aboard a private plane where no press or witnesses were allowed to be on board. Given the things Trump is being investigated for, I bet most people who have a real problem with that.

So would you have a problem with the above senerio?

You think an appointed Attorney General in the service of her country would switch her judiciary opinions just because of a visit by a former president?

I don't know if she could or could not, we are all human. And that is the point

She is called to a much higher standard! Just to be put in a position of the mere possibility of improprieties or any situation that could lead a reasonable person to think that impartiality was being compromised. Is against the oath she took when she accepted that office.

I admit, sometimes I may take things too far with conspiracy and things about that meeting may not have been as bad as I think. But I say that they are not as innocent as you think they are either.

So you see nothing wrong with that meeting and nothing wrong with the way the classified information was handled?

The fact that they chose not to prosecute is irrelevant to the fact that laws were broken. It is at their rescission to prosecute or not, to cut a deal or not. There have been people who have committed murder and the courts chose not to prosecute. The point is really this.... The law was broken! and they appear for all intents and purposes to be above the law. Like the old saying, there are no courts for people like that.

and that is a problem

<So you see nothing wrong with that meeting and nothing wrong with the way the classified information was handled?>

I obviously see what waves that meeting caused. It was obviously extremely undiplomatic. Yet, it must not change our objective judgement of how FBI and Mr. Comey handled the matter; that would be unfair to both Ms. Clinton and Mr. Comey.

It is equally obvious that classified information was handled in a most dubious way. This is precisely what Comey concluded (using different wording). But he also concluded that this was not sufficient to make it a crime.

<The fact that they chose not to prosecute is irrelevant to the fact that laws were broken.>

I am not sure I understand what you mean. If the judiciary system in USA is of the opinion that federal laws have been broken to the extent that require prosecution, I don't understand why they haven't done that up till now. The way I see it is that the official US Law system agrees with Comey that Ms. Clinton's mistakes were not sufficiently serious for prosecution. What I fail to understand is why you (and some others) won't accept that. Or is it really only because she does not represent your political views?

My political views have nothing to do with my opinion on the situation, wait maybe they do because it is my belief that everyone should be treated fairly and impartially, with no regard given to Class, race, religion or what office you hold. Or how much money you have, or don't have.

Justice should be blind, not blind deaf and dumb.

There have been many cases where persons have been prosecuted for far less and I mean FAR LESS than the allegations brought before Mrs Clinton in what they actually found to be true. And in those cases there was never a mention to (Intent) EVER. So why does intent suddenly play a factor for one American and not the scores of other Americans who were prosecuted for lesser offenses?

For me this is the problem.

They pick and choose who and how justice will be handed down to. T

It all has to do with pointing fingers away from oneself to distract.

It is a trick that all trump people have learned from trump, that if he is
doing things that are wrong, then he points at his opponent, and writes
look what she did (or is doing), even if the thing that he is pointing at
is not as bad as what he is doing himself.

That is an old trick used even by kids, when they are caught "red handed".

The trump campaign got busy by getting people to try to find as much "trash"
as they could on Hillary, so that people would forget about all the wrong way
trump was doing wrong.

AND IT WORKED!!! for a lot of people that were either gullible, or worked for trump.

And it is still being used here by those who want to defend him.

Anytime you write any facts about trump, they will call it "fake news", and write
about Hillary Clinton emails.

Here I am not trying to convince anyone that Hillary is impeccable, and has never
made a mistake in her life, but all anyone has to do is look at how much those
Russians had to work, to find what they accused her of doing, while the campaign
was going on, so that the politicians could use that as an excuse to dismiss her
as a good candidate for the presidency!

What amazes me, is that if you say anything that trump is doing or writing that is
unacceptable, or downright stupid, they will still use that ploy, and turn around
and say, or write, "But look at what she did". Even though it was found that the
mistakes that she herself admitted were not done correctly, and the investigators
could not find something to prosecute for, or was insufficiently reliable to convict.

Those that like trump, will say things about Obama, Hillary, Bill, or anyone else
they can think about to point the finger away from trump.

Yes there was a conspiracy, it was a conspiracy that was provided by the Russians
assistance to keep Hillary from getting elected as president, and to get trump
selected, so that people would think, well, maybe we got the better of two evils.

So it was a conspiracy not only against Hillary, but against the will of the people
of these United States of America, to cheat the voters out of the choice for the
presidency who voted for Hillary Clinton by close to THREE MILLION VOTES.

Now the Russians are thinking, "BOY, ALL THOSE AMERICANS ARE SO DUMB!"

This thread is about the conspiracy of the deep-state to attempt to dismiss Hillary's crime and foist a false crime against Trump. I was discussing Comey's role in the first part of the conspiracy.

If you would like to skip ahead to the Russia nonsense, then please present a point of contention and we can try to get to the bottom of it.

The post by easy-win appears to be an opinion piece.

How about we talk about Hillary Clinton's relationship with Russian Bankers who are really a front where Putin hides all of his money?

Yeah they gave huge sums to the Clinton foundation and got some great deals for Boeing contracts and a little Uraimium on the side.

Both parties are in it deep.

And by the way. I am not a Trump supporter. George Bush also lost the popular vote and the supreme court rulled on a hanging Chad. Sigh... they put whoever they want in office. The difference is they are not hiding it very well and then use subterfuge to point away from the fact that the will of the people simply does not matter. Why do you think they use voting machines that are banned the world over for thier vulnerabilities.

People the system is working as intended

Yes it is finger pointing... to point out the fact that BOTH parties are corrupt !!

Both serve the oligarchy. And no I am not happy with Trump. He is a reality tv star doing his Job of being a meat shield and attention magnet. To divert attention from the oligarchy which he so dutifully serves.

What is funny is that people seem to think that Hillary Clinton dies not serve the same master

HRC smokescreen
HRC Did nothing wrong. Intensive Congressional investigations (gop controlled), and the FBI found no wrong doing. Trump however has commuted treason. We will not be deflected from seeing justice done.

All your accusations are groundless and right-wing BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not going to work this time.

Sigh... I'm not right wing at all.

I tell you what. If Trump gets successfully prosecuted. I will conceded my point. And the real point was... Both of them are above the law. The Orange menace will serve out his term.

Why is it that if a person doesn't agree with one side they have to be for the other? Oh that's right because that is how the duleopoly works. Pick a team you have two choices .

Both parties work for the same master.

Oh and it was ok that the dems rigged thier own primary. Poor Omaley never stood a chance. And the excuse was well it may be immoral but it isn't illegal.

Both sides have made it easy for pay day lenders to trap people in debt. And for big pharma to sell thier oxycodone.... on and on and on. Are you blind to this? Your just choose to look the other way?

I disagree with the whole premise that the “deep state” exists as a conspiring
force and www.politico.com is responsible for a such a conspiracy.

Unlike those speculating here I’ve met some of those deep state folks they are talking about. This theory simply is not credible. I’ve tried to explain in terms reasonable people should understand hat because we do not have a spoils system our political diversity precludes such a situation. If anything I’d say this group runs more conservative than the population as a whole. And frankly those making these claims do not understand the complex situation we actually face. It’s dangerous to oversimplify intractable dilemmas into mere problems or make perfection the enemy of the best we can get now. Suffice to say we are in the middle of an ongoing influence war and the populace has not shown they understand what a threat that is,

Saying conduct isn’t criminal doesn’t necessarily make it right but the effort to single out Clinton while ignoring others is wrong.

This isn’t an attack on my friend Apatzer. It’s more a cautionary warning.

Thank you both for all your common sense, straight-forward, information rich posts. I do appreciate (and mostly agree with) all of them. Please do not get dismayed that some of the participants here simply can't grasp the ideas you present.

People who are so partisan that only one side is at fault and only one side is "good" is simply showing their lack of education or inability to see reality. It shows an inability to accept other views and possibilities. The do not accept diversity. They do not accept multi-culturalism.

Unsecured Server?
<<The shear volume of classified information that went through her unsecured server, that she had backed up to the cloud by a company that was not approved to do it.>>

Uh, no. The private company she hired to set up the server had stringent security protocols in place--probably better than those used by the Department of State.

My conservative friends insist government is incompetent and that private business should do all work instead--except of course when it comes to the opportunity to be hypocritical in this regard. I know you're not that--I'm just commenting in general.

Hillary specified the backup should be local and private--NOT to the cloud. The techs apparently overlooked this specification and instructed the server to back up to Datto's secure cloud server. (Source: New York Post).

So a mistake was made, by the private firm hired to do the work. There were NOT "volumes" of classified documents passing through her server. I think the FBI identified one document State had declassified but which had subsequently been reclassified by another branch of the federal government.

Correction--there were eight email chains in reference to "top secret" classified material, though it appears whoever sent them to her mistakenly (or purposefully) removed the classification headers. Eight is hardly "volumes," though to be sure it isn't good--especially when those passed out to a cloud storage--however "secure."

Why is the cloud not secure? Row Hammer. You can flip bits rapidly, inducing bit flipping in adjacent memory. There are plenty of other means of harvesting cloud data, not least of which is planting agents in technical departments. Of course, state secrets get stolen out of government just as easily if not more easily--given that state is a huge target and Datto isn't.

Democrats Rigged Nothing
They have always had superdelegates. So did the Republicans, until a few years back. Maybe a decade or two. The Republicans eliminated their controls over party nominations, resulting in the debacle permitting DG with Russian assistance to defeat a field of candidates far better qualified.

While that could possibly happen with the Democrats also, it would be far less likely. They just are not as susceptible.

There was no rigging--they operated within the rules. Same sort of rules that allowed DG to win the electoral college and become president despite losing the popular vote. Had the rules been different DG says he would have followed a different strategy. Olmely or Barney or whoever should have followed a different strategy if he wanted to beat Hillary in the primary, because what he did failed to work. Maybe he didn't get an early enough start. Hillary really had kind of a sixteen year lead on him.

You sure will twist & turn in order to protect HRC. The fact is she set up a private server in order to hide her "pay for play" communications with foreign governments and bad actors.

You know it. I know it. We all know it. It probably will never come out officially, but everyone knows it.

And worse yet... most foreign governments have the emails (top secret or not) in their possession. Our intelligence people in other countries have been killed because of it. But, that will never become public either.

Had she become President, there is NO end to the blackmail she (and we) would have been subject to. She was willing to sell out the country for money. No telling what she would do under duress of blackmail.

Both GOP and Democrat accused each other of Russian collusion. Trump accused HRC of collecting Russian Dossier to smear Trump and HRC accused of Russian collusion to defeat her. So far, Mueller's investigation is one sided against Trump. Is he colluding with democrats. I strongly suspect that Winslow is correct that Mueller is doing a witch hunt. There is nothing coming out yet from Mueller about Pay for Play, Clinton foundation bribery scheme. If Mueller continues on one way traffic against Trump, Mueller and Democrat conspirators are digging their own graves.

Firing Mueller will be a political suicide.
It is unclear whether the news are true or fake. In June of this year, it was said that Trump ordered the lawyer to fire Mueller. The lawyer vehemently protested and even threatened to resign if he fired Mueller. The lawyer was concerned that if he fired Mueller, it would be tantamount to political suicide, resulting in the impeachment of Trump for obstruction of justice. Democrats are like peeping Tom who are trying to peep into Mueller's investigation. Mueller had interrogated most of Trump's associates except Trump. Mueller's strategy and tactics are simple. He will try to find inconsistencies of the people he had interviewed and will draw some conclusion. I don't think he will find smoking gun evidence similar to Bill Clinton and Lewinsky scandal. The intern kept her dress as a souvenir with Clinton's sperm which was ejaculated when she was doing a blow job service. DNA analysis of the sperm can prove beyond doubt that it belongs to POTUS. She should have sowed the seed properly and planted it to show her everlasting love.

Will Mueller's investigation be over after he interviews Trump ? I doubt it. They will still try to find fault or continue witch hunt to impeach Trump. Trump's inner enemies are much worse than foreign enemies.

You say that you don't want arms sold that kill children and line the pockets of the rich. Yet both sides do it.

The State Department under Hillary Clinton authorized arms sales to countries that had donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, according to a new report.

State approved $165 billion worth of weapons sales to 20 foreign governments during Clinton's tenure, the International Business Times reports. Among the countries involved in the sales were Algeria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

It doesn't matter who is in office that will never change. What bothers me is you appear to think that one side does it and the other does not. Fact check it please.

Obama's collusion with Russia
youtu.be
Russia don't like nuclear tipped US missiles encircling close to her border. The time was before his second term presidential election. If he agreed what Putin like him to do, that is, if Obama dismantled or moved away the US missiles, American voters would see him as very weak and gave away to Putin, his reelection would be in jeopardy but at that time nobody cared about it. Obama thought that he was talking secretly to PM Medvedev but the mic. was still on. Obama was reelected for second term and he did not need to worry to talk with Russia after his erection was over. If Trump said similar to Putin that he would lift the sanctions on Russia, all hell will break loose from Democrats. That is the name of the game.
