Anybody ever consider the fact that if Hilary gets elected she could make history by being the first POTUS to pardon herself and there isn't a damn thing anybody could do about it?

...and I don't think the FBI is trying to derail Hillary nor do I think Putin is trying to put Trump in office. I think Putin is probably laughing at all this bullshit, how could he not?

You would be better off hoping to win MegaMillions.

Why?

Do you think the potentially 'pertinent' emails reportedly coming to and from Clinton' server will all be duplicates already reviewed from another device?

That would be good for Clinton too, but it wouldn't have the potential to quash some of the speculation and allegations surrounding the deleted and 'bleached' emails.

It's a conspiracy theory that's been floated for awhile now. I'm not sure why I just found that amusing but I did.

I don't have anything to say about the Foundation/donors because I don't know enough about it. I do see a lot of people comment on Russia & the uranium though, many of them think she sold it to Russia directly. They don't care there is evidence to the contrary.

Sorry for the cut & paste, doll.

Thanks for clearing this up. It's far more favorable than the New York Times' piece detailing cash flowing into the Foundation during the uranium deal.

We all know how conservative the NYT is!

Snipped:

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

I don't know if Putin is trying to sway the election in Trump's favor, but I think it's possible based on the reported sources of the DNC and Clinton campaign hacks.

Whether Putin is trying to influence the election or not, I bet he'd prefer a Trump presidency to a Clinton presidency for a lot of reasons.

In any case, I agree he's probably laughing at the political circus here.

You want to understand Putin's plans research Aleksandr Dugin; he is Putin's closest advisor.

HairoftheDog...I think the 'pertinent' emails may be tantamount to the missing 18 minutes on the Nixon tapes. They may prove that Classified information was not handled in a secure manner but instead negligently. They may also embarrass the Clinton Foundation.

Yeah, only a president cannot be impeached based on conduct prior to them holding office. This is a precedent set back in 1873.

What I find hilarious, the HellBitch first disgraced herself during Nixon's impeachment. She will most likely suffer the same fate; resign in disgrace. Karma is a real bitch.

Because you love you some Hilary, but you didn't know that she prosecuted Nixon 43 years ago?

She was fired from the judiciary committee investigating Nixon's impeachment for fraud.

And you wonder why we have these two to choose from? Look in a mirror.

No, I didn't know that.

It's Bill I love.

Could be; anything's possible. I've seen several different stories from unnamed sources regarding the emails on that device.
