She is not quitting. She is going on the attack to stop the Democrats now rather than four years from now.

Her address was riddled with hints at a future political run. As she said, she isn’t retreating but taking the political fight in another direction. Interpret this as you can.

It’s our loss, but I understand her decision. She has endured much legal harrassmenet, most of it on petty charges. She has large legal bills defending herself against the false and frivolous accusations.

I sure wish she had selected another day to announce this. I’m not getting a lot of “warm fuzzies” about America right now. The state run “media” will be trashing her 24/7 over the entire Independence Day holiday.

Anyone ever figure out what the Rush - Levine (sp) conference was about last week?

Maybe she is going to run as an independent or something? This sucks.

Bad precedent IMHO. With this development, any Democrat who does not want a GOP candidate to become successful can concoct alleged violation after violation until you tire of the whole thing. They can use this tactic to bleed you to death financially even when you're innocent of the charge.

Hillary has more resilience than this unfortunately.

I sure hope so... otherwise we're toast (as if we aren't already).
