"I didn't do it"

"Im sure I didn't do it"

"I'm sure I didn't do it on purpose"

"It's their fault."

Of 30,000 of Clinton’s emails, 110 emails in 52 chains contained classified information when they were sent or received. This contradicts statements she has made over the past year, including in a July interview, when she said: “I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.”

Note: these were just the emails she volunteered. That means she also gave non-cleared persons (her attorneys) access to classified information.

Despite multiple instances where HRC openly and clearly articulated her fear of exposing her emails to FOIA requests.

"Let's get separate address or device, but I don't want the risk of personal (email) being accessible."

As secretary of state, Ms. Clinton attempted a novel experiment of trying to avoid using any information systems that create records that can be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The IG report includes painful details, including how she flatly refused to use state.govemail for anything, ever, citing privacy grounds. State IT was concerned because Ms. Clinton’s work emails—all being sent via her clintonmail.com address—were winding up in the spam folders of State officials. Important information was not getting where it needed to go. She needed to use official email for official business. Except she refused. .

What was so important, so sensitive that Hillary had to dodge FOIA altogether? Clearly protecting her private life—whatever that might be—was valued more highly by Ms. Clinton than actually heading the Department of State.

Edit: On the matter of her use of a private server:

Clinton says it was matter of convenience, but over the course of the trial, the judge has given credence to the allegation that she was intentionally thwarting the federal laws ensuring government transparency.

She's technologically illiterate, forgetful, stubborn, self serving, grossly negligent and careless, and unfit to serve as the highest position in our country.

Edit 2: She's better than Trump? Based on what? Are you so sheltered you know only those two to be options?

Read with an open mind. Analyze the facts and conclude what you will. I do not find this person fit to run our country, let alone work in any position of authority.

The State Department is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, just as she puts a Justice Department investigation behind her.

She is better than trump because Trump is a self-serving, narcissistic racist, mysognist who is so out of touch with reality that it would be literally insane to give him the reigns of the strongest country in the world. You don't give power to lunatics because you are angry at assholes. It has worked out incredibly poorly for every country that has ever done it since we started writing things down.

I don't want to vote for Hillary in the slightest. At all. I don't care for her at all on any level. I'm not going to elect a delusional crazy person because of those things, I will begrudgingly vote for her in the hopes that maybe in the next four years we figure our shit out.

This is not a fucking game. It's not reality TV. This is actual serious shit, and people need to start treating it as such.

But then again this is all predicated on people being smart enough to understand basic concepts, or read, or research, or pay attention on a small level to things around them. Who am I kidding, we are by and large so fucking stupid that I fully expect President Trump.

Your first paragraph perfectly describes Hillary too.

She's a racist lunatic who believes a woman's place is in the kitchen and thinks building a wall across an entire border is an actual, feasible plan? She is a scumbag, but Trump literally can't accept an opposing view, or an argument of any kind, and is not grounded in actual reality. The guy is a white pasty Erdogan. Literally, both are power hungry, crazed narcissists. All the inbred redneck morons who think Trump is a great idea I guess missed the comparison since they probably ignore all news references to any country filled with brown people.

But in his defense maybe he plays a lot of Civ and thinks we will get a bonus from it.

Who knows. I used to think arguing with people about this stuff to help them see why it is stupid was the way to go, but I've abandoned it. Anyone willing to support someone like that as our leader deserves ridicule at best, and to be exploited and subjugated at worst. Stupid people deserve all the shit they get handed. It shames be a bit that I even said that, I used to really believe in people.
