[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FBI made clear Hillary Clinton is not the target of their investigation, so your whole bullshit premise fails. Republican desperation is showing. [/quote]

Where do you get this? Link?  They most certainly seem be be investigating Hillary and her e-mails.[/quote]

The FBI is investigating the security of her email system. The investigation was launched after a non-criminal referral from the Justice Department. You can be forgiven for misunderstanding this because the "liberal" New York Times misreported it at the time and most of the media followed its lead. Clinton herself is not a target of the investigation. Of course, none of this means that the FBI couldn't uncover something criminal involving Clinton. But, the FBI can only recommend charges. It is up to the DOJ to press them. In the case of General Petraeus, the FBI recommended much stronger charges than the DOJ decided to bring. So, going by that precedent, Clinton probably has little cause for concern.

Do you not agree that if this happened to a little person gs employee, it would be much worse for them?

Look, i'm a progressive but what I hate more than anything is two sets of rules and operating procedures for big and little people.[/quote]

Of course. I also believe that if a little person gs employee had given top secret documents to his mistress, it would have been worse for them than it was for Petraeus. I also think that if a little person gs employee had conducted financial affairs in the way that the banker did prior to the financial crash, it would have been worse than it was for the bankers. Welcome to America's two-tiered system of justice.

If you don't like Clinton's use of a private email system, you have the option of not voting for her. But, that is doesn't mean that the situation shouldn't be discussed accurately.
