She decided months before. | ||

Do you think he wants her in prison so he can move one of his mistresses in? Like what's the theory here? He goes to someone he has influence over and says "I need you not to intervene in my favour"? How would that help Hillary? I'm saying she had a 20 minute chat with Bill Clinton, then did something highly irregular that in the end helped Clinton's wife. Enough to call her in for a chat no? She decided months before. Sure she did mate... but it was a super top secret  | ||

Whether or not this is a Republican witch hunt... it certainly is being given credence by the dodger-in-chief here. I think this is a standard oversight hearing, not one called by the Republicans. I don't think there is a specific topic. | ||

One could choose to believe that. But if they wanted to do something underhanded, why not use a phone? | ||

How did publicly refusing to use her power to change the outcome and instead passing the matter to an impartial investigatory body help the Clintons? I'm just not getting it. She was in a position to influence the outcome and even if she didn't use her power people would question the outcome if it didn't go the way they wanted so to avoid even the appearance of impropriety she stated that she would accept the FBI's recommendation. Even if you think Bill was trying to get to her you surely must concede that it backfired completely and forced her into a position where she couldn't do anything to help him, even if she wanted to, or else risk undermining the process. | ||

Seriously, lol. How much can the Republican expect to milk every minor scandal they find? Anyway. Sanders supporters apparently intend at 85% to vote for Clinton so I believe the race is basically over. | ||

This thing about the email has been discussed for over a year and I've read nothing to really makes me think it has any kind of relevance aside from the fact that Hillary does not handle her email with enough precaution. You and the general public. Something like 80% said it would not influence their vote. | ||

But a majority -- 58% -- also said the issue would not affect their vote in the 2016 presidential election. (from the above source) | ||

And they got hammered for it. 58% (from the above source) Yeah, I just looked it up and I was off. Sadly I am seeing few stats for independents. | ||

If you think anyone who is not clearly partisan against Clinton will base their vote on an obscure email server mishandling, you are seriously, seriously, seriously delusional. At that point, no one remotely liberal gives a fuck about those emails, and everyone sees that this fake scandal is ridiculously and artificially inflated. | ||

This is just an example: Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff. The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later. abcnews.go.com Give money to Bill, get favors from Hill. For instance, Russia gained control of 25% of American uranium production thanks to Hillary Clinton getting paid $3 million by Rosatom http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html edit: Just google Clinton Foundation edit2: Actually the Russian government and other foreigners gave more than 145 million to the Clinton Foundation, my bad. And its 20% of uranium. | ||

If either isn't one of the candidates in November for any reason (Trump gets assassinated, Hillary is indicted etc etc) the bet is null and void. Willing to bet on this? | ||
