Nope.

Asking for any sort of Morality from Government is important to me. I would/will attack any Government official that oversteps their bounds/is immoral.

As would most Republicans
, and I venture to say, conscientious Democrats.

It's just plain simple. We won't stand for more Government Corruption (than we have to.)

I think it's downright hilarious that you believe that republicans even remotely understand what is and is not immoral. Dems aren't perfect either, but it is 100% impossible to be a republican and more than well below average level of morality.

SO I did about 5 minutes of googling and I'm having a really hard time figuring out why this is even an issue, let alone a scandal...she broke no laws, Kerry was the first SoS to even use his state department email regularly, so she didn't even set a precedent, and she's done her best to comply with records retention regulations and has been under no scrutiny for failing to do so.

Reaching much?
Oh, for the days when I was in good enough shape to laugh at the bolded for as long as it deserves!

Don't suppose you can give us a credible citation that Clinton used "other people's money" to pay for this, can you? It sounds more like the usual gratuitous hate mongering to me, but you might surprise me.

For that matter, I'd like to see something credible showing she had a server at her home, or even a mail server at all. My guess (though it is only a guess) is she paid some hosting service for an email domain. While the domain name was registered to her home, the email service itself was hosted at an ISP, probably on a shared server. Again, that's only speculation, but I pay around $100 per year for such a service, giving me my own domain with unlimited email accounts. Several friends have similar services. It's not difficult, exotic, or expensive.
Fair enough. Can you show any documentation that the lady who deducted from her taxes $1 each (in the seventies & eighties!) for the value of Bill's and Chelsea's used underwear donated to Goodwill spent her own personal money?

I don't have a huge problem with her running a server out of her home, as I'm fairly sure that location is kept secure. (I am not, however, under any delusions as to WHY she did it.) Seems to me that a commercially hosted service would be a grievous security failure. But hey, maybe that's why we as a nation are so abysmally bad at diplomacy.

I noticed that too. No liberal is going to start a thread. I wouldn't be surprised if their news sources weren't even covering it. Myself, I'm a little flabbergasted that Holder is going after one of "his own" so to speak. Menendez has been associating with shady characters and has been caught up in the fringes of some questionable situations. But I think his support for Israel is what is bringing the ceiling crashing down on him now. Of course they can't go after him for that, so they are using what they already knew.

It's kind of funny. One gets the idea from numerous politicians that they feel they aren't being compensated fairly. Maybe only they know the internal pressures they are under and that's why they feel that way? So many know so much and are just waiting for an opportunity to use it. Like an enormous multi-level chess game in which you've got to think 100 steps ahead never knowing which move is the right one.

Whatever. Something has to be done from time to time to keep the corruption from becoming completely and totally unbridled. These guys aren't stupid. They realize they've got their lips wrapped around a teat that could run dry due to their own greed.
I too noticed the lack of a Menendez thread, but personally I have no opinion on his innocence or guilt. Kind of limits one's comments. ;D

Kinda confused about the actual problem here.

Surely the NSA has all of her emails archived at their Oklahoma database (or wherever that monster is stored)

She played by the rules. So did the Bushistas. Neither committed any crime. Well, not wrt email, anyway.

And, remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You mean the rules she set and broke?
You're as high as that guy trying to sell me steaks earlier.
He was straight off a crack pipe,is my guess.

Are you gonna attack Powell for using a private email and he also admitted he never kept any copies at all?

Republicans really need to worry about their own primary. I remember how happy they were in 2008 when Clinton got upset by Obama. Then they spent 8 years whining about him.

They've got to fling you know what at Clinton and hope something sticks because they're gonna have to sell their base and the country on another Bush!

The telling thing here with Hillary, if next month she insisted she had no desire to run, ever, period, the republicans and the media would drop this email thing within 24 hours.
And not only drop the emails, but also drop the Benghazi thing. Or their lack of thing.

So what does this all boil down to?
Republicans still pissed that the Clinton's won in 1992, and Bill was reelected again in 1996 despite all republican efforts to derail the Clinton's.
That for one, and add to that their total freakout that Hillary will be elected in 2016 for not just 4 years, but 8 years of the Clinton's.

So, it's not the emails. It's not Benghazi either. It's fear. Republican fear of Hillary.
And the media?
The media loves a fight, especially a political fight, and most of all any Hillary fight.
And with all of this, Hillary as the next president is done destiny.
Not so much personal destiny for the Clinton's or Hillary, but destiny for all women.
And if republicans were not so anti wage equality for women, anti women health rights (i.e. abortion rights), and so anti women in general, if that were not the case then maybe republicans would realize what is really going on here.
Making H I S T O R Y for women. The old glass ceiling.
And Hillary the first woman president?
Why not?
Hillary is good enough plus plenty qualified for that job, and then some.

Which just makes the victory that much more powerful and joyous come 2016.
All while republicans stare like a deer in the head lights wondering HOW? WHY WHAT???

Some of you guys better put your thinking caps on and start directing your disgust and dismay in the right direction. Republicans didn't start this, they've just jumped on board. It started of course with Hillary's actions but it wasn't a problem for Republicans until somebody started making a fuss over it. Republicans were aware for some time that she had been using a private email address for what by the nature of her position had to be communications that needed to be secure for national security reasons and that had been decided upon formally with her being sworn in.

You've got yourselves all wound up in a tizzy listening to talking points from the leftist media that are being spun. The timeline of what she was required to do and when as it relates to the emails is very simple, very clear and it's contained within this thread. You've lost sight of that. Some of you as the thread has progressed and some right out of the gate.

So who stirred up the hornet's nest?

The people pulling the strings within the Democrat Party have decided that she should not run. If she does, I will be surprised. She's up against some powerful forces.

I said it earlier. She's too moderate for the party as it exists today. Obama has been a disappointment but did make progress. The party wants someone who can finish the job. Hillary will go rogue and they can't have that.

Do you ever have anything of substance to say around here?
Hey, I want to apologize. I mistook what you evidently felt was a deeply thoughtful comment as something flippant that warranted the response I gave. I will do my best from this point forward to revere all that you communicate.

So with that behind us, what's the scoop, chicken poop?

The Clinton's just can't stop lying:

Hillary said she emailed with Bill, but the thing is ...

Bill Clinton doesn't use email.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said the server that housed her emails while she was secretary of state (that was reportedly housed at her home in New York) was set up for President Bill Clinton. She also said that some of the "personal" emails she deleted were between her and her husband.

But just before Hillary began the press conference at the United Nations building, the Wall Street Journal reported that Bill Clinton does not use email.

"The former president, who does regularly use Twitter, has sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life, both as president, says Matt McKenna, his spokesman," WSJ reported. "After leaving office, Mr. Clinton established his own domain that staff use — @presidentclinton.com. But Mr. Clinton still doesn't use email himself, Mr. McKenna said."

One of Bill's emails was to astronaut and former Sen. John Glenn, the other was to U.S. troops.

But Hillary said during her press conference that her email server "contains personal communications from my husband and me."

It appears at least one Clinton is not telling the whole truth.

A spokesman for Hillary did not immediately respond to a Washington Examiner inquiry.

Bolded and edited, so that maybe you get it

See, this started with your posting a blog post by some random dude and interpreting that as "HILLARY OBVIOUSLY DONE FOR."

You have never been able to gauge context and validity in the various "sources" that you use to fill your noggin with fluff. Your initial post, that I responded to, was the flippant kind of drivel that would never warrant serious consideration.
