If insanity means repeating your past behavior and expecting a different outcome, then Hillary is surely guilty.
Because Hillary Clinton never learns. She just keeps doing the same thing over and over and has the same predictable and disastrous outcome. Her core instincts – extreme paranoia, arrogance, and distrust of both the press and her list of “enemies” overwhelms her judgment. That’s why her instinct is always to hide, obfuscate, fight, attack, spin, deny and drag out every single one of her scandals unnecessarily. Then she ultimately takes a bigger hit in the press and tarnishes her reputation much more than if she had simply responding early and truthfully. It happens every time.
Now she’s created a mega- scandal that will follow her right into 2016 primaries.
Her latest fiasco- secretly and exclusively using a private email address attached to a server that was installed in her Chappaqua home on the day her Senate confirmation hearing began – is vintage Hillary. By circumventing government policies, she placed access to her emails under her sole control. The State Department and the Obama White House would have no access to her business. Only she would decide what was going to be made public, if anything. She didn’t need those pesky right wing groups trying to watch her every move and look through her emails. No way.
In her view, the rules just don’t really apply to Hillary Clinton – they’re meant for other less important people. She’s smarter and knows so much better.
So she literally took the emails home with her when she left the State Department. Although they were clearly government property, she decided that they were going to be her property. And, although the State Department clearly knew what she was doing, they responded to all Freedom of Information requests with a blanket statement that there were no relevant emails. And that’s exactly what she wanted.
Of course, they had no idea exactly what emails existed because they had no access to the Secretary’s official emails.
It’s always the same with her. She’s reminiscent of Nixon refusing to hand over the tapes. She just doesn’t get it.
During the Clinton Administration, I watched in dismay as, time after time, she would contrive to hide evidence and delay criticism for her conduct. The inevitable denouement that followed was always made more painful by her delay. Now she’s at it again.
Had she used the White House e mail system, instead of installing a secret one in her house, her emails would have been forwarded to the House Investigating Committee, Yes, she would face some embarrassment, but that would be that. (We have to assume that neither she nor Obama would be dumb enough to write, in an email, anything really indicative of a conspiracy to lie over Benghazi).
Instead, Hillary outsmarted herself and refused to use the White House system. She now faces suspicion about her motives and about whether some emails were deleted. I doubt there is an innocent way to explain her decision. The White House has insisted there was a clear policy about preserving documents and about the use of personal email accounts. And Hillary’s own cables to State Department employees directed them to avoid using personal email accounts for official business. But that was for them, not for her.
Now she says that she wants the State Department to release her emails. She’s talking about the emails she selected to send back to the State Department. If history is any guide, Hillary has already scrubbed her server of anything she didn’t want made public.
What she doesn’t get is that It is not for her to decide what is relevant. It is for the State Department – the rightful owner of the emails to make that determination.
There’s only one way to do that: All of her emails must be reviewed. And it looks like that’s exactly what the Benghazi Committee plans to do. (if she hasn’t successfully destroyed them).
But now we will play months and months of the favorite Washington parlor game “Hide The Email. “ What would have been a 2015 scandal that would go away by the election has now become a 2016 scandal that will bedevil her during the primaries. On her way to Super Tuesday primary night, she will be dodging Committee subpoenas.
During the Clinton Administration, every single scandal had its roots in her propensity for coverup:
• A special prosecutor was appointed to investigate Whitewater — and he stuck around for Lewinsky — because Hillary wouldn’t agree to release her tax returns for 1979 and 1980. Why not? It turned out she was hiding her commodity market winnings until after the Statute of Limitations had passed.
• The Paula Jones lawsuit — which led to the revelation of the Monica affair and Bills’ perjury — was never settled even though Paula offered to do so for no money or admission of guilt. Why? Because Hillary wanted to cover up that Bill had sent a state trooper to fetch her.
• And so it went with the Travel Office, FBI file, Whitewater, missing billing records, secret Health care meetings, and every White House other scandal. Hillary always was trying to cover up one scandal by making another one worse.
But now she has taken an issue that she would characterize as a right wing scandal and made it into a New York Times scandal. A 2015 investigation into a 2016 one. A shared guilt with the president to one she must shoulder by herself.
Its just Hillary being Hillary. When will she ever learn?
If Dick Morris says it will be a big issue for her does it mean that Hillary is in good shape?
8a Sect.II, U.S. Political Code § 2381
"Hereto forthwith any and all laws regarding the United states of America are void with regards to the Democratic party of the United States and its constituents which are besides citizens, foreign invaders, basically everyone in the entire world while any and all laws must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law when it comes to the Republican party and its constituents even if there is not one shred of evidence a law has been broken. Oh yes, and they get to be harassed by government agencies as well."
Has McCommieCain endorsed Hitlery again?
Possibly, but when was the last time your heard about Bubba and the underage sex slaves?
Being swept under the rug as we speak.
Who was using Hillary's home-brew email system?
Everyone is forgetting that emails have two components..the sender, and the receiver. All it’s going to take is for ONE person..among hundreds/thousands whom she corresponded with or cc’d..to release an email that she didn’t turn over, and she’s kaput..
I kind of think that Dick Morris’ predictions are the kiss of death with respect to them actually happening.
Nevertheless, I feel she should rightfully be trounced, beaten and relegated to garbage pile of history where she belongs. A vile, hateful secretive woman who does not have a soul or conscience.
This could really happen; it only takes one conservative candidate willing to stand up and call a spade a spade and to back that claim up in debates with her, with brutal and forceful articulation. In other words, have the balls to say it loud and proud with conviction.
I only see one man in the race so far that could do this.
The Democrats probably did some polling. Its very questionable if the American people will elect a truth challenged, alcoholic, lesbian as their first woman President.
It's beyond disgraceful that her fund has accepted millions from Saudi Arabia. The US will never regain our footing as the nation on the correct side of civilization as long as they're our allies.
The Bushes are equally sold out to them. If it's Jeb vs hillary, what difference does it make?
It will only bother her in the primaries if she is primaried, and no one of any aggrieved group has (yet) arisen to take on the task. In turn, our side has to realize that no one is going to vote against Hillary! in the general election: we must present someone whom voters will be willing to vote for, not someone to fulfill the role of other-than-Hillary!.
The scores of girls abused are witnesses and are probably
being harassed, if not liquidated, by the DO"J" and Team Clinton.
The GOP, probably abusers too, will do nothing as usual.
Why not? They twice elected an unqualified Kenyan born, Muslim, bi-sexual, truth challenged, Marxist as their first 'black' president.
Is this why Senator Elizabeth Warren has been extremely coy about a possible 2016 run for the Democratic nomination?
Hillary! is just a decoy to distract the opposition until the real candidate is unveiled. How long before the Primaries did Obama hit radar screen? You won’t see the real Democrat Presidential candidate until about the same period.
I am thinking the real candidate is going to be Elizabeth “Fauxchahontas” Warren, who will run, and likely win, on a platform of “liberating” wealth (as mentioned recently by the evil clown, Biden) from its owners. For some idea of her platform you should look up Huey “Kingfish” Long.
Warren won’t run. Everywhere Lizzy Fauxcahontas turns, she sees Hillary’s tentacles gesturing menacingly like sushi from hell.
Liz has already had to dispose of one horse head she found in her bed.
Hillary is of the densest Teflon. Nothing has stuck to her & nothing ever will. Scott Walker or Ted Cruz will take her on in direct debate while telling Candy Stephanopoulos to can the bias, but if Jeb Bush is the nominee, say hello to the First Bubba in the WH.
Well....Hillary got elbowed aside by the nation’s first African American candidate. The DNC said try again later, this is Obama’s time.
I don’t recall any significant scandal that would have derailed her coronation, which itself was based upon, “I put up with Bill’s shenanigans for all those years in the WH, I’m owed this!”

Young people have underage sex so they don't care about that.
They do care about the sanctity of their medium {they think they invented the internet, iPad, facebook, instagram, instachat, etal..} and if anyone is screwing with THEIR MEDIUM, they will want blood, neck wrinkles and fat from the kankles.
hildabitch doesn't even begin to comprehend the type of screw up she has caused, let alone the depth of its murky waters.
This has nothing to do with the msm, nor the right wing, this is going to be about young, skulls full of mush, getting pissed about some old bitch, trying to game them and they will be insulted and then... look out old skank.
