Democrats recoil from Hillary in wake of email controversy
UK Daily Mail ^ | 5 March 2015 | Francesca Chambers

Posted on 03/05/2015 1:46:02 PM PST by Windflier

The White House, the State Department and Democrats on Capitol Hill are side-stepping questions about Hillary Clinton as the controversy over her cyber hygiene escalates.

While some of the presumed presidential candidate's party members have come to her defense, many lawmakers headed for the exits this week as reporters asked them for their opinion on the way Clinton handled her email while at the State Department.

Democratic strategists were more willing discuss the scandal - but what they had to say, Clinton probably won't like.

Officials at 1600 Pennsylvania now claim they didn't know that Clinton was solely using her personal email address to conduct government business until Congress reopened an investigation into the Benghazi attack.

I think I'll do up the Oval Office in Navajo.

“illary ‘Fredo’ Clinton, as it were.

I think it’s finally over for her.”

I am beginning to think that as well, and w/o her running for president, the RATS will never keep the White Hut. But for me, the real problem is the GOPE. They are the death by 1000 cuts Party. We simply must not let JEB, Crispy, Huck or Rubio get the nomination. And beyond that, extend our control in the House so we can oust Boner.

That means the-powers-that-be have already decided on someone else for 2016.

Warren. I've seen the little hints for some time. And, if you look closely at her, she is much more like Obozo than Hillary is. She is a nasty piece of work IMO.

Unless the Pubbies run a conservative in 2016 (not a chance in the world, they will burn the GOP to the ground before allowing that to happen) she can win. We are getting screwed beyond belief.

They couldn't tell from the address?

You would think they would get suspicious when they saw it:

Rules aren’t for the Clintons, and the left has always celebrated that, until now.

I know that Bill and Hillary are reading this correctly. They're being told to step down and retire from politics and there won't be any real repercussions. Persist, however, and the dogs will be turned loose to do what they will.

They must know that Hillary can’t pass muster. She is too old, too ugly, and too feeble to stand up to the pressures of a campaign.

Yep. I've been saying since before the 2012 race, that Hillary would never be chosen as their nominee to succeed Obama - for all the reasons you mentioned above.

The explosion of this latest scandal is the White House telling her to drop her ambitions and retire. They've got other plans for 2016.

How could they NOT know? Every email has the sender's originating email address, so everyone (including the press) had to know it was coming from a private email. The State Department not noticing this? Are we to believe they can swing a deal with the Iranians? Granted that Harf-witted spokesperson might have overlooked it.

I'm sure hostile espionage organizations noticed this years ago.

A lot of Dems (and Repubs) thought the same thing in 2008, then out of nowhere, in steps a young nobody Senator who took it all away.

I have a feeling they're preparing a suitable replacement for BHO. Hillary is a tired old woman who's already been on the national stage far too long. She lost to Obie, precisely because the Dems wanted new blood at the top of their party. I don't see how that calculus has changed since 2008. It's probably solidified.

I don't know how successful the GOP-e will be in getting yet another loser 'Moderate' through the primary to the nomination. The R leadership is pissing the base off like never before in its history, and that is going to have immense repercussions on 2016.

I can see people in the millions ignoring the money, the polls, and the slick advertising, in favor of giving their votes to someone they trust will reverse the disastrous course we're on.

Bill Clinton is as much and always has been as much a conniver as Hillary. That citizens of the US could elect such a person to be POTUSA is a black mark on our history.

I just realized who's in that photo. Tell me she doesn't look like Hillary's sister.

They are definitely a matched pair.

” It’s pretty obvious to me that the King has withdrawn his royal favor from Hillary. That is the only way the media would roll on her like they’re suddenly doing.

That means the-powers-that-be have already decided on someone else for 2016. “

Pretty much what I said earlier, but I added that Obama’s overlords told Obama to tell the press : )

This is theater.

These are people who have committed every conceivable crime, and suddenly now, private email, thats a bridge too far.

And this coming from the obamists who have themselves made a mockery of the law and dared anyone to do anything about it.

No, this is theater. And it has to be a bitter moment for Mrs Clinton. She was passed over in 2008 for a guy with no resume, and believed she had a promise it would be her turn next time. Now they are going back on their promise.

Its interesting to watch how effectively the mind control works. Suddenly she is history and everyone will agree, yes, she is history. Previously she and Mr Clinton were bullet-proof, they could do literally anything - and that means anything - and get away with it. They are being telegraphed that its over. Unless they have some serious weaponry up their sleeves, in which case they had better use it or retire.
