  1. If you drop the article you hit closer to home. Love or hate America - doesn't change the fact that the world needs to have sane, rational leadership at the helm of the world's largest power.

    Unsurprisingly, the Republican National Committee operated an email server for White House staff to use for partisan communications and purposes.

    So we are supposed to believe that the VP office did not produce emails for days on end during some of the most critical time stretches of the Iraq war?

    Who has been lead around on the nose exactly?

    The number of classified emails that went through Hillary's server are BTW 22. Most of them were not classified at the time, the once that were didn't have the classification in the header, they were only marked in the body.

    So remind me again what she did that differs from what Powell did when he ran his private email server? Or what the RNC did when they ran a large portion of the White House email traffic on their servers and conveniently forgot to make any backups?

    22 million of emails from the Bush area are still missing.

  4. What's worse, I fear that they really don't care.

  5. What's the point of doing what Assange and Wikileaks have been doing without any moral position? He isn't helping his own case.

    It's most flummoxing. Even before he holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy his behavior started to look somewhat erratic. Some prescient bloggers (such as Sean-Paul Kelly) warned Wikileaks about tying its reputation this closely to just one person. Alas, the warnings were ignored, and now the damage is done.

  6. Reads like the sloppiest conspiracy ever.

  7. I guess, with the exception of the revenge part, that worked out swimmingly for him.

    Too bad that this turned into a one man show. At one point I really thought of Wikieaks as a force for good.

    You don't have to be a Hillary fan, considering the alternative.

    You also don't have to be too bright to understand that Hillary is currently not under investigation, contrary to what you wrote.

    "... currently under investigation for possible treason"

    If you believe in an objective reality, this is statement that can actually be very easily verified. I suggest you look into it.

    It not like that there are some strange little tit bits that'll support the simulation thesis, but overall it doesn't add up at all.

    Oh yes, right, the US public education has been run by liberals all over America for decades.
