Did I get everything?

I believe you missed a few YAS's in there.

On a serious note, no one really knows when or what the FBI is going to do.

Even if Clinton is indicted, we don't know if that will even impact the campaign.

I'm pretty sure if the FBI wanted me to come in for a three and a half hour interrogation, I'd be shitting bricks. For Hillary it's just another Saturday.
They already said they were going to end their investigation with an interview.
 
Look at previous threads on here about Hillary's email server.
I think there is a difference between believing it's a conspiracy and acknowledging that, like Benghazi, it's a much overblown issue being used by her enemies to thwart her Presidential bid.

The FBI will throw a random black dude in jail for a few decades for jaywalking when they were escorting Hillary out of the office.

Funny thing is if indeed they find nothing, the slander having been done, there's also a positive way to turn it around, for both Benghazi and the emails:
"I've been vetted by takedown, partisan investigations, pushed by partisan Republican led politics, by committees costing $7m+ on one hand for Benghazi, and by an investigation led by the State Department and the FBI on the other.
You can bet that if they had found -anything- being remotely worth indicting, Republicans would have loved nothing else than to have had me be thrown in jail.

I'm still here."
 
Saint Hillary could never have done anything wrong. It must all be a conspiracy. I refuse to believe our anointed queen might have made poor decisions. She's perfect.

Find me one fucking person who has said that. One.

Why is it with extremists like you, you always need to setup straw men dishonestly to bash? Not a single fucking person made the claim you just did, but there's a wide range from that to "She murdered those people in Banghazi, is the most corrupt person in the world, and should be thrown in jail" garbage that people like you spout.

Easy there tiger.

Plenty of people believe its a conspiracy, and it's ridiculous. She lied to the victim's families of Benghazi about the cause of the incident. That isn't necessarily illegal, but it's low.

Your standard for extremist needs revision.

It's not possible at this point to "find nothing." The private server in question definitely exists, and we definitely know that it was used to handle classified information. And the only plausible reason for doing this in the first place was to avoid FOIA requests. All of that is already established.

I seriously doubt that Hillary is indicted. From what I understand, there is a very high bar to clear if you want to successfully prosecute somebody for mishandling classified information, and that's as it should be, in my opinion. But "Hillary wasn't indicted" isn't the same thing as "Hillary did nothing wrong." Everybody who believes in government transparency should be critical of her email setup, even if it wasn't criminal.

Sure and the issue has already been addressed for anyone in the future.

So guys, did we decide Bill meeting with Loretta Lynch is no big deal either?

Never seen a group of people worry so much and try so hard to show that they're not worried at all. It's the same trite shit every thread.

How many more millions of American taxpayer dollars needs to be spent, and how many more Republican-led congressional investigations need to happen on the subject before you admit this is bullshit? Was 8 really not enough?

Wrong.

Is this Sean Hannity?

Also, I look forward to hearing your wonderful insight on further political topics in the months to come. You seem like a sharp poster.

Plenty of people believe a lot of things. You notably shy away from pointing out where this is common on GAF, though, which falls in line with your growing habit of shitposting in threads in lieu of actually contributing to discussions. Maybe you should give the snark a rest.
 
And after the election where Trump had been set to ruin
The entire nation rejoices while Clinton is a brewin'
But during her coronation, there was a pause in the celebrations
The FBI declared it was she who did the server alterations!

The world was shocked at the site they now see
Before their very eyes she declared herself Queen!
"Ha, you can not indict me", she said with a glee
"For I am the killer of Ben Ghazi!"
 
I can imagine the headlines now:

Hillary Clinton will face charges from the FBI and will be arrested

Haters: See?! We told you, she was a criminal the whole time!!! Now we have solid proof!!!!! Get that monster arrested!!!!

Hillary Clinton will NOT face charges from the FBI

Haters: See? The system is corrupt!!!! We KNOW she's guilty of criminal activity, Obama probably bailed her our somehow. The FBI is a part of the establishment, they were probably cut a deal from the DNC. SHE NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED!!!! WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION THAN THE FBI DOES....CORRUPTION!!!
 
Loretta Lynch saying she will follow FBI's recommendations is really just a setup for a no indictment course of action.

When the FBI reports that they do not recommend anything like that, she can absolve herself of justice department meddling.

We've known about this exit interview for awhile now and that it was coming to wrap everything up.
 
what would occur if something does happen ?

I imagine it would depend on the outrage from the Democratic base and the polling. If it looks really bad, I'm sure the DNC can find or make up some rule that rejects her as the nom. Since the DNC has been biased towards her the whole time, that's unlikely. But not impossible if they look in danger of losing.

If they do punt her, I guess it would be, "Heeeeeeeeere's Bernie!"

That's my worst case scenario.

Na, the more likely case would be she releases her delegates to Biden, supers endorse Biden and we go on with Diamond Joe leading the way

Okay, if you really insist

I could see Bernie joining Jill Stein if that happens. I mean, after the talk of "more votes" and "math" that came from the DNC camp.
 
You'd prefer Trump over Bernie then?

Bernie or Biden I don't care, anyone but that orange ferret.

Hell of a difference between Biden and Bernie. The foremost being that Biden would win easily whereas Bernie might actually lead to Trump winning.

Anyway...none of this is going to happen.

Naw, I find that highly unlikely. Democrats would rally behind Bernie because the last thing anyone on the left wants is Trump winning. Plus Bernie would do well (as he has) with independents that care about issues like free trade where Trump is doing well.

Why do some of you think 3.5 hours is somehow deeply meaningful? Doesn't every single mind-numbing step of an investigation like this take ages?

I had a civil suit deposition I took part in that easily took three hours, and it was concerning an event that lasted ten minutes. So this amount of time doesn't mean much.

I like that your response to "show me who said it" is "plenty of people said it." Don't be so disrespectful and hyperbolic, it doesn't make for a good debate.

I thought it had been shown so far that all "classified" elements that went through that server were labeled as such retro-actively?

And by "nothing" I obviously meant "nothing criminal", as Hilary Clinton has already admitted that it wasn't the best judgement and that in hindsight (which is always 20/20) she should have done things differently.

Except Bernie's views on trade are laughably terrible. I would prefer not to go down that route.

Trade deals like NAFTA aren't a bad thing.

Independents don't exist, nearly everyone is partisan and Bernie does not have much of a following with minorities, who are the ones that are carrying the last two elections in terms of swing states.

Bernie is not vetted, Bernie is completely untested, Bernie has plenty of dirt from his past that will be brought up. His comments from 30 years ago (that he recently refused to walk back) about praising Cuba alone could easily hand Florida to Trump.

I could see Bernie joining Jill Stein if that happens. I mean, after the talk of "more votes" and "math" that came from the DNC camp.

You think Bernie would willingly be VP to Jill Stein?

That's a good joke
