5 ways that Comey contradicted Hillary Clinton's email claims - POLITICO

An interesting read, seems even those on the left realise she is crooked.

Where was Powell's email server located? I'm fairly certain it wasn't his basement.

He used AOL. That free CD/disk was more than any human could have possibly resisted.

Kevin Powell is probably still wondering if that email about WMDs was important and if he should have done something with it.

It really irks me that Trump is trotting out his 'poor General Petraeus got a bad deal..' schtik in his whining about Clintons situation. Clearly he thinks it is just fine to hand over highly classified documents...top secret included..to the woman you are committing adultery with. She was not a spy...but that is a tactic used by spies since spying began. He got off very easy...since prison time would have been the norm.

Trump was also riffing on the whole, "Poor Bernie. Poor sweet Bernie", meme. One must not forget that Bernie speaks daily of how much he hates Trump's big fat stupid guts.

He has some misguided hope thavBernies supporters will move ove to him in large numbers so he is sucking up to them. No doubt some are dumb enough to...but not many I suspect.

The Sanders supporters aren't dumb but they are grieving. Bernie's ultimate message will be to repudiate Trump soundly.

The only supporters of his I worry about are rhe milenials that never voted before....they might tend to vote Trump just to stick it to Clinton...or just sit it out. I suppose we will see in November.

Some Bernie supporters are complete idiots. Its Bernie or throw the toys out of the pram for many I am coming across. They do seem to be young millennials.

On another note. Does anyone think the allegations of Trump raping a 13 year old have any legs?

First time voting milenials who for some reason think they should get their way or else.

As for Trump...would not put it past him. Not at all.

That particular allegation sounds a bit thin. However, it may encourage other women he's abused to come forward. I'm assuming he has a pattern of threats and/or payoffs that have kept people from making complaints.

Yeah imagine someone voting on principles. Young people who haven't had the optimism beaten out of them by what passes as political discourse in this country yet.

But go right ahead and call them dumb or complete idiots because they have a different viewpoint to you and would like the person they vote for to actually represent their views. I'm sure that will persuade them to get behind Hillary, everyone loves to be insulted.

Everyone wonders why Democrats don't have any spine, perhaps if they weren't constantly told to get in line, rather than standing up for what they believe in, they might.
