I am guessing the FBI file info is pretty stale by now. Hasn’t it been 14 years? Some of it might still be powerful, but also do consider how many democrats don’t seem to be especially bothered or harmed politically by embarrassing or incriminating information.

Doesn’t matter, they’ve already investigated the people they felt they needed to investigate. This is one of the things Hillary is extremely good at - being able to get dirt on other people. Don’t underestimate her. Remember the trail of dead bodies from Arkansas to Fort Marcy Park. I mean for God’s sake she had her lover Vince Foster rubbed out. She’s an ice-cold b1tch.

If I have it right, the "900 FBI files" were of Republicans - who nobody thought were being considered for Clinton Administration jobs, and whose FBI files were therefore not legally accessible to the Clinton White House.

But there were also about 2000 FBI files of Democrats requested in alphabetical order, and therefore irrespective of any consideration for employment. And therefore also accessed illegally. If any would be of potential use for Democratic primary opposition research, those would be the ones. But of course you are correct that FBI Filegate started in 1993 - any files which were accessed illegally would have to have preexisted the Clinton Administration altogether (assuming that they weren't actually siccing the FBI to go investigate Democrats they had no intention of employing). And when you think of how long it had been since there had been a Democratic Administration before that, to have legitimately generated such files on candidates for employment in a Democratic Administration, you're talking 1980 at the latest. Basically, we're talking 30 year-old files on 60 year-old Democrats.
