Dems have no one to blame for this one but Weiner. He was being investigated for potential child porn when they discovered the cache on the laptop. If Huma could have kept him in place, this never would have happened.
The FBI didn’t say they couldn’t find anything to charge her with when they investigated Clinton the first time. They said they chose not to charge her even though she violated the Freedom of Information Act by not returning all of the email.
When you choose to become a public servant, shouldn’t all communications be public unless it affects security ?

Privacy is basically surrendered when you choose to serve the public …all your records (tax returns, mail, e-mails, computing/communicating devices,etc ) should be open for examination by the public.
The difference between the USA and other democratic republics was that we were supposed to be open book with the people being able to see how it’s being run.
The private, exclusive, self-serving, behind closed doors, political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution and most of the founders were against their existence as reconciliation of differences is key to unity.
We find ourselves, with private organizations, who best serve the interests of corporations – defined as people by SCOTUS – pretending to serve the public.
The hypothesis of a two party system furnishing good leaders, has failed us yet again.
It is interesting, although the Rethuglicans do not care, that the FBI has openly come out about investigations of Clinton but have not said one word about their investigations of Drump, all under an FBI leader who is Rethuglican. I am not a Democrat but I say throw all the Rethuglicans out! This crap is why I no longer will believe the Rethuglicans on anything. If they said the sun rises in the East or it gets dark at night I would not believe it, unless i saw it for myself. All politicians lie but these cretins have taken it to a whole new level.
Over the course of decades, Donald Trump’s companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documents demanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tactics—exposed by a Newsweek review of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court cases—have enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggled—sometimes in vain—to obtain records.
“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government — a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.”
All the “W” administration emails are well destroyed, along with the drives for the servers and all other evidence leading to murder in Baghdad, and Afghanistan, and the whole Middle East, to defend our “friends” who are the only ones to attack the US Navy in 1967.
The other shocker, not, is that the loudest screaming coming from conservatives is from those who know absolutely nothing about law, the Constitution, or any other issue, like science (AGW), or history. From foi gras to FOIA, total ignorance.

There isn’t a shred of evidence to suggest Clinton did anything of the sort. The emails were “secrets” like the names of the Dutch Ambassador’s Labradors.

Comey knew he had nothing back in the summer. He said there was no reason to prosecute, but went out of his way to smear her reputation.
Shocking! Some emails the FBI hasn’t seen, on someone else’s laptop, that may have something to do with Clinton. Yes, that’s something for a Republican appointee to stop the presses about ten days before the election.

I would think Hillary must have emailed the Trump when they were friends… Must be a good excuse to look at Trumps emails / computers / TAX RECORDS.
