A reporter from Mother Jones reads the whole FBI report. The conclusion: "That said, this report is pretty much an almost complete exoneration of Hillary Clinton. She wasn't prohibited from using a personal device or a personal email account, and others at state did it routinely. She's told the truth all along about why she did it. Colin Powell did indeed advise her about using personal email shortly after she took office, but she chose to follow the rules rather than skirt them, as Powell did. She didn't take her BlackBerry into her office. She communicated with only a very select group of 13 people. She took no part in deciding which emails were personal before handing them over to State. She had nothing to do with erasing information on the PRN server. That was a screw-up on PRN's end. She and her staff all believed at the time that they were careful not to conduct sensitive conversations over unclassified email systems. And there's no evidence that her server was ever hacked." 14 Excerpts From the FBI's Report on Hillary Clinton's Email | Mother Jones
That was a great article. The Clintons drive me insane--they've decided they're going to get attacked no matter what so why bother with optics. But they should be more careful about stuff like this. But at the end of the day, they really *do* get attacked no matter what.
Not only that, but the Republicans will decide that it is a "lock her up" offense. And the media will decide that this and her meeting with donors from the foundation (an even bigger nothing burger) is somehow equivalent to the dozens of things on Trump's rap sheet. Gotta keep it close.
You know what... as sad a day as it is for our country to have Trump as the representative of a formally respected, if not always agreed with, political party. It is a much sadder day for the media. We are no longer able to get unbiased reporting. People who tell it like it is. They will lie, not bother with facts and out and out fabricate in order to sell their wares. We fans of Disney repeatedly say things like "Walt must be spinning in his grave". Can you imagine what is happening to the other Uncle Walt... Mr. Cronkite in his. It is a shame that we no longer have a media that can be trusted. I know that back in the day, there were some powerful people that published newspapers with the same disregard for the truth as todays news medias who were only trying to promote their own agenda. But, the sheer amount of people that are currently buying into it is so much more then back then.
