Well, whatever else they say about Hillary Clinton, they can't call her weak. I just watched on and off throughout the day as the Senate select committee took turns questioning one person for eleven hours. Some were clearly trying to get a rise out of her. I don't think they succeeded.

After the first Democratic debate, I came away with new respect for Bernie Sanders.

After watching her today at this inquisition, I came away with new respect for Hillary Clinton.

@Lash,
Why should I? You're the one saying Britain has lead after electing a Tory government. The electorate in the Labour party election, 422,664, is not the same as Britain, population 64.1million.

One number is a lot bigger than the other one, and the big number voted for the Tories. Ask a grown up to explain things to you.

She handled herself and the situation with presidential presence...and with dignity.

From what I saw...she owes the Republicans on that committee a sincere note of thanks, because they did more for her candidacy than she will be able to do with all the advertising dollars being contributed to her.

What on Earth were they thinking?

from here on in all the days that Washington does not work is a bad day for all of those who are supposed to be running the place. Having the crash up on tv all day with people watching is about as bad as it gets. Hillary is in the the muck up to her eyeballs, we all know that. Ryan gets it. Hillary never will.

I am sure Hillary Clinton is grateful for people like you, Hawk...who DO NOT GET IT. I am sure she is also grateful for people like the Republicans on that committee...especially its chairman...who also DO NOT GET IT...and are helping her in her quest for the presidency.

@ehBeth,
A distinction she will not be able to distinguish between.

@ehBeth,
I realize that. It doesn't negate my point. The shifts are to the left. Hillary is the most conservative person I can think of who still gets away with calling herself a Democrat.

And Trump is the most liberal person to run as a R in a long time. Imagine that when we have been talking for years about how the center is disappearing both in Washington and in the nation. This election is shaping up to be extremely weird.

@snood,
I would laugh at anyone who called her weak. She is the boldest deflector from questions, most condescending, steamrolling toward what's in it for her, calculating candidate I've ever had the displeasure to witness on the national stage.

but weak? Hell no. She has a bigger set of balls than Cheney and will line her pockets on the backs of dead service personnel if it suits her.

She's a war hawk.

There were four interesting Senators in the Senate a few years ago. Looking at only their voting record, the most liberal was Sanders. Close to him but not as far left was Clinton. More towards the middle was Obama. Noticeably to the right of him was Biden.

@Frank Apisa,
Here is what I get out of her testimony. She is a liar, can not be trusted and most likely is guilty of perjury.

And she is your candidate for President. Good luck !!

We are hearing a lot of assumptions that the hearing was good for Hillary. I think that corporate media is putting together an impressive record of being wrong about what the people think so I will wait for the people to tell the pollsters what they think.

Or you could just watch and form your own opinion.

More of your pedantic and highly evasive nit picking. They are investigating the inappropriate use of a private, unsecured e mail server on which governmnet businbess was conducted and recorded in violation of written government and State Department directives on the handling of such information, indluding some applicable to all State Departments employees and signed by her. Such investigations are designed to uincover criminal behavior that may exist whereven they find it. There are no a priori limits such as you are deceptively suggesting.

Quote:


'No prohibition'


"Under federal regulations, there is no prohibition on using a personal email for official business as long as any records are preserved," the official said. "Reports claiming that by using personal email she is automatically in violation of that FAM [Foreign Affairs manual] are inaccurate."

Clinton's use of private email was never hidden from anyone, according to a former State Department official. The former secretary of state sent thousands of employees message from that account and in her four plus years at the State Department, nobody raised a red flag and say that she couldn't conduct her email communication in the manner she was conducting it, the former official adds.


source

In my opinion this emailgate is not such a big deal as it is being made out but there are a few questions but those questions do not rise to the level of making it a big factor in deciding her suitability as a President. In my honest opinion, she probably just used her private server to save time as she was always on the road so to speak and it was more convenient. But, I do wonder if she made any effort to save her official state emails for transparency sake and because apparently it is one the conditions of being able use a private email server. Also since she did use email server for both her private use and her official use, she should saved all of them and not automatically deleted them after thirty days (I think that was what she did.) I don't know if that question has been answered or not. As far as it being safe, with all the departments which have been hacked into in recent years, I doubt it was any more safe if she did use only a State Department email server. Clearly there needs to be a lot done to make our technology more secure in our country, more specifically for our government official work.

I was out of the house and didn't watch the hearing. From all accounts I have read this morning it did her a lot more good than it did for them.

Hillary Clinton's 11-hour Benghazi testimony was her best campaign ad yet
