Thank you PJ for taking the time to explain it to me. I appreciate it. I have a better understanding of it now.

Look at how the Republicans play you--and the mainstram media!--for chumps:

Gmail accounts and private servers are business as usual, but only Hillary Clinton's integrity is questioned.

Let's be clear here. According to Comey today, HRC was not under oath when she spoke to the FBI. Therefore she could not commit a felony by telling a lie. The man heading the investigation, namely Comey, was not even in the room. She was not asked about her testimony before Congress where she was under oath and her testimony before the FBI contradicts things she said before Congress.

This whole episode with the FBI is a sham, pure and simple.

Shouldn't the needless deaths of two more innocent black men being gunned down by police make us shut up about the innocent white woman being burned at the stake for a few emails?

This country needs priorities. We need to stop burning the witch and start healing what divides us.



"Too many African American families are mourning. Too many young black men and women have been taken from us."

--Hillary Clinton, July 7, 2016



"America woke up to yet another tragedy of a life cut down too soon. Black Lives Matter. #‎PhilandoCastile"

--Hillary Clinton, July 7, 2016



"The death of Alton Sterling is a tragedy, and my prayers are with his family, including his five children. From Staten Island to Baltimore, Ferguson to Baton Rouge, too many African American families mourn the loss of a loved one from a police-involved incident. Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin.

"I am glad the Department of Justice has agreed to a full and thorough review of this shooting. Incidents like this one have undermined the trust between police departments and the communities they serve. We need to rebuild that trust. We need to ensure justice is served. That begins with common sense reforms like ending racial profiling, providing better training on de-escalation and implicit bias, and supporting municipalities that refer the investigation and prosecution of police-involved deaths to independent bodies. All over America, there are police officers demonstrating how to protect the public without resorting to unnecessary force. We need to learn from and build on those examples.

"Progress is possible if we stand together and never waver in our fight to secure the future that every American deserves."

--Hillary Clinton, July 6, 2016

Any reasonable person knows this was a witch hunt all along. Still, I don't think we should dismiss how well Trump's campaign could play it up now that it's at the top of the news cycle again. Although it's laughably pot-calling-the-kettle-black for Trump to question anyone else's trustworthiness, his campaign is going to hammer this message for the next several weeks. With these idiot Republicans in Congress referring the case of whether Hillary lied under oath when speaking to the Benghazi panel to the FBI AND with today's news that the State Department is going to reopen their investigation into Hillary's emails, this story's going to be around all summer long. And now, with a significant sum raised in the past month, Trump has the funds to air these spots beyond YouTube and Facebook. It's easy to stay in our liberal bubbles and presume this kind of campaign will have no impact, but I think that kind of complacency is dangerous...

People will continue to believe what they previously believed. No one's mind will be changed. But without attaining a majority of either women or minorities, Donald Trump will lose the general election.

If, that is, he actually remains in the race until November...

I know I'm going to be pulling my hair out about this for the foreseeable future, but words have meaning and they cannot be made to mean what you want them to for whatever agenda you have. To lie means to deliberately tell a falsehood. To assert something you think is true but turns out to be wrong is to be mistaken, not lying. Secretary Clinton was mistaken that none of the emails contained information (marked) classified. There is no evidence anywhere that she knew they did and deliberately made false statements about it.

If she isn't going to speak to it, I hope one of her best surrogates makes a strong statement about it. (And I don't mean Bill.)

I assume PJ was responding to my post, directly above yours, Liza.

I try to avoid responding to the Headband, whenever humanly possible.

The June jobs report is in, and the economy added 287k jobs. This should bode well for Clinton.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/business/economy/jobs-report-unemployment-wages.html?_r=0

THAT IS NOT THE REAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS U-9). THE REAL RATE IS OVER 9.8% AND CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE STOP LOOKING FOR WORK MONTH OVER MONTH DUE TO LACK OF OPPORTUNITY OR QUALIFICATION, THIS "ADDITION" IS A LIE AND FALSEHOOD CREATED BY THE LABOR DEPT.

Liza's Headband said: "Just for the comedy of it all, I want to point out that Comey confirmed earlier today her private servers were less secure than gmail accounts. Allow that to sink in for a minute. "

Of course her servers were less secure. Big deal.

I run a private email server that is also less secure than Gmail, because I don't have two factor authentication or a round-the-clock security team checking monitoring all traffic and immediately patching every subsystem.

You know who else doesn't? The State department. Which is why we know the system she was "supposed" to be using got hacked.

Gmail is one of the most secure systems in the world, because the private data of many millions of people (and billions of dollars) depend on it. That doesn't mean others aren't secure enough.

If you want to keep this ridiculous line going, come at me. I resent right-wingers abusing their lack of IT knowledge to score cheap points.
