... And now that Secretary Clinton is on the cusp of announcing her 2016 run for the presidency, it is very interesting that the New York Times decides to break the Hillary email story, and create this "scandale du jour." The silence, until just recently from Secretary Clinton, about her emails and her apparent defiance of the federal records laws shows either hubris or incompetence. Her tweet, "I want the public to see my email" rings hollow, with a slight hint of bubbling desperation.
But does Hillary really understand that this smoldering scandal is not like the others, that 2015 is not the heyday of the 1990s? Apparently not, and apparently Secretary Clinton is finding that her welcome mat is being rolled up. As our favorite former Obama pastor rousingly cried, "the chickens are coming home to roost."

With the 2014 electoral shellacking the Democrats received at federal, state, and local levels, retaining the White House is foremost in the minds of the Democratic Party power brokers, donors, and grassroots diehards. Hillary's disastrous book tour last year, her silence over major foreign policy events, and now the brewing disaster of "Emailgate" is proving that the Clinton brand and more importantly, Hillary herself, are not as stellar and untouchable as they once were. Hillary is now a blast from the past, and her latest run-in with infamy is showing incompetence at the highest levels to a new voting demographic.
Long a cheerleader, and co-partner in Clinton, Inc., the liberal media smells blood. The swan song of Hillary Clinton can actually be visualized. Many pundits and long-time Hillary watchers may say don't count her out yet, she's a survivor, others have had private email accounts, etc., etc. Not this time. Hillary is now becoming more of a detriment than a crowd-pleaser.

IMHO, the goal here is to get all his out in the open so that, mid-summer, a reporter who tries to bring it up will be crucified for hyping "old, settled news."
On to their new love, Grandma Warren. The mistake Hillary! made is expecting to be coronated because of her gender, not realizing that fully half the people in America are the women, and that makes her easily replaceable.
It’s not over as long as the Neo Stalinist Media Megalopoly has the American people the most brainwashed in world history. Which is permanent.
It’s the media and usual Dem lackeys who are pushing this story. IMO they want Hillary! out of the way, to make room for Eliz. Warren. Wonder how well funding for the Clinton Foundation will go if she gets the hook.
Hillary is the best the DemonRats have.
To get all the E-mails, Congress may have to ask Edward Snowden and the Russians.
Somewhere the ghost if Vince Foster is smiling.
Lizzie Warren took an axe. And gave the Constitution 40 wacks....
like they were saying on the news tonight, bill had major scandal yet his popularity and image weren’t destroyed- nothing the left does ever really destroys them in the public’s eye unfortunately- all the left has to do to overcome any scandal is to promise free stuff and the voters eat it right up
For instance, if the media like FoxNews tv hosts Hannity, O'Reilly, Megan Kelly, and Greta had put as much time and effort in questioning and pressuring candidate Obama to release his birth hospital records, his Social Security card, his Selective Service application, and his Occidental College and Columbia records as they have in questioning Hillary about her email scandal, I believe that Obama would have ended up lying about his background under all that pressure, and, as a result, he would not have been elected president, because the American voters would have quickly come to realize what a liar candidate Obama really was.
Way to go Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. Your incompetence and cowardice in refusing to put continuous pressure on candidate Obama to reveal details about his past were key reasons why Obama was elected president not once but TWICE.
Let's look at how Hannity handled his botched investigation of candidate Obama's background. I watch Hannity. I don't always agree with what he has to say, but I find his show interesting.
1. Hannity Townhall meetings: Hannity has these so-called townhall meetings. most of them are alright, but sometimes he holds townhall meetings on strange topics. For instance, one townhall meeting I found strange was the one about Spring Break problems in Florida.
2. Trips to other parts of the United States and to Israel: He went to Texas to see the illegal immigration problem first hand at the border. He also went to Israel to see the secret Arab tunnels for himself.
3. My point is this: If Hannity can go to Texas and to Israel to investigate important stories, then why couldn't he go to Hawaii---where Obama was supposedly born and spent most of his childhood----in search of the real Obama if, as Hannity claims, he was serious about keeping Obama out of the presidency?
4. Think about this: Hannity has NEVER gone to Hawaii and held townhall meetings to find out what people in Hawaii, especially Obama' s Hawaiian friends, could tell him about the real Obama as he grew up in Hawaii. Why won't Hannity go to Hawaii if he really wants to expose Obama as a liar? I don't understand.
5. For instance, Hannity could ask Obama's Hawaiian friends at the townhall meetings if they saw Obama in Hawaii during the summer of 1980 after his freshman year at Occidental. Why should Hannity ask Obama's friends such a question? The reason is this: That was the summer Obama supposedly signed his Selective Service form in Hawaii. However, if none of his friends recalls seeing Obama in Hawaii that summer, it means that Obama was not the one who signed the Selective Service form in Hawaii in July 1980, because Obama must have been in California the entire summer.
6. Also, Hannity could ask Obama's friends if Obama ever presented himself as a foreign student, or if Obama ever went by the name of Soetoro, the name of his Indonesian stepfather.
7. And he could take us on a tour of Obama's supposedly birth hospital and maybe look in Obama's mother hospital room. He could show us the apartment where Obama lived and the schools that Obama attended.
Again. Shame on you Foxnews tv people Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. If you had made the same special effort in researching candidate Obama's lies about his background as you have put in researching Hillary's present email scandal, Obama might not be president today.
oh right, and how many final Friday the 13th movies have their been???///

The Democrats may want to dump Hillary and go with Liz Warren...
But will America accept Warren? I think she is more unlike able than Hillary...and she doesn’t have a political machine behind her.
Warren on Tv every day screeching will turn off about 80% of the public. Only the hard core radicals will support her, and even they probably can’t stand her.
You are absolutely correct. The chances of Elizabeth Warren winning the presidency are between Slim and None, and Slim just left town.
As a so-called “True Believer”; Warren is that, her ideas are too far out there for most of the American Public. I think her age is also close to Hillary’s; I think she did wait tables to put herself through school. So, this would be her main-shot, sort of a Walter Mondale type of candidacy I’d envision.
That's worth stealing.
Hillary can be President, of her jail cell.
In a just country with honorable leadership, she would at least announce she’s not going run, and say things like “it was a judgement error”
But considering today’s reality, she could end up winning in a landslide and make Bush her VP.
