Clinton mishandled Classified information at a minimum. She gave that information to people who should not have had it. That is called spying, and she did it for money.
No animal; from a microbe to an elephant is as disgusting and foul as a politician, democrat or republican.
That’s why I call all of them REPUBLICRATS or DEMICANS.
Oh, that’s really really clever and original...I’ve never heard either of those refreshing new terms in my life....
(except from drug addled, faggot-loving, baby killing Libertarians)
Oh...I forgot to add, "who want smaller government".
