Is the Hillary e-mail scandal going anywhere?

At this snail's pace it could be years before the FBI finds and decides to do something. It's like with the PO Daniel Pantaleo/Eric Garner federal case it's in limbo somewhere and nobody much asks what's going on except Al Sharpton every once in a while. Are investigations this hard or is there something else at play in the Hillary case? Every Hillary scandal is by nature dry as a yak's head somewhere in the desert with the cacti, no sexual elements whatsoever so people quickly lose interest and move on to the other news of the day>>>>Lamar Odom/Khloe Kardashian. By contrast this is a ready-made for tv ongoing soap opera that's got everyone's attention. I'm kinda getting the hunch of a feeling that nothing's gonna happen to Hil but I could be wrong. It'd be kind of surreal if while she's giving her inauguration or installation speech they slap the 'cuffs on her.

  1. If Hillary was GOP, there would be no scandals .

  2. Here's my take. I think Hillary has had so many scandals many people are jaded to them. Those who are gonna vote for her don't care if she's dishonest but is she competent, can she deal with Putin better than Obama (probably). In short can she make the trains run on time?

  3. I'm laughing too hard at BB's comment to write anything but I'll try. But, truly...do people REALLY think the Republicans get a pass? That's positively hilarious!

    Z-man, you're correct...as long as the freebies continue from the Dems, people will vote for them; and they've cleverly made our kids feel freebies/entitlements are somehow the economy of the future... they paved the way and they're walking it now. What Libs never seem to get is "Who's PAYING?"

  4. This is another manufactured controversy designed to delude an ignorant public only too willing to believe something bad about someone they've been taught not to like. Pretty much period.

    I'm going to Williamsburg tomorrow. Back in a week.

  5. The Benghazi 'scandal', IMO is best explained by concealed carry Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz__
    "“The buck absolutely has to stop with Clinton. She must man up and assume responsibility,” said Chaffetz, who, along with the rest of his party, rejected Clinton’s warning in 2011 that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security.” Of course, they ignored her__
    "“Embassy duty is dangerous work, and our nation’s diplomats need to know that America has their back. To cut over $450 million from their security in two years simply because we, the Republicans, have forced through those cuts borders on high treason.” It's not rocket science; you cut off security funding, then blame the
    State Department for not spending. C'mon, Chaffetz and your admiring minions,
    what was she supposed to do, hold a raffle? IMO, Chaffetz may be close to correct
    to use "treason", but balls of Chutzpa, it should have been self directed instead of turned into the longest congressional investigation in history. Perhaps next time
    Trump will come up with the cash?

    1. The way you put it I can't argue with your point.

  6. As usual you put it far better than I ever could.

    In an entirely unrelated tangent, I'm just a little manic. One of the things I've been doing lately is coloring. The whole adult coloring thing to me seemed very hipster and pretentious but I've found that it's very therapeutic. I have a strong preference for symmetrical designs and I like my fine point markers a lot more than I like colored pencils and crayons (both of which I've experimented with.) This trip has set me off a bit and it hasn't even started yet, which is both not a good sign and not really surprising. I've been coloring off and on all day in an effort to get a little grounded. It's not really working but I wouldn't call it unhelpful.

    How goes the job search? I'm sending positive vibes, such that I can, for that.

  8. In the compare/contrast department, we note that the original Tea Party:
    " the first Tea Party in Boston Harbor had less to do with tea than the political ambitions of James Otis, Jr., a certifiably mad lawyer, and Sam Adams, a bankrupt brewer and convicted embezzler. After the British government tried collecting import duties to pay for American defense, Boston merchants — mostly smugglers and tax evaders — protested. American Tempest reveals how Adams and Otis took over the protest movement and seized political power in Massachusetts.

    Organizing waterfront workers into raging mobs, Adams and the tax protestors swarmed through the streets, burning homes and dragging opponents to the “Liberty Tree” to be stripped, swabbed in scalding tar, dressed in chicken feathers, and subjected to unmentionable agonies and humiliations. Then, on Thursday, December 16, 1773, about seven dozen men disguised as Indians dumped £10,000 worth of British tea into Boston harbor and sent Boston’s reign of terror spreading across America. Mobs dumped tea and burned tea ships in New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, and elsewhere, and stripped tens of thousands of Americans of their homes and properties, forcing nearly 100,000 to flee the land of their forefathers forever.

    Condemned as vandals by George Washington, the original Tea Party Patriots nonetheless set off a social, political, and economic storm that ended with the Declaration of Independence and birth of a powerful new, independent nation."
    ....odd how history repeats itself.
