This is the operation. We can commit a crime and then take years to get the documents out so that the cattle out there forget that there was a crime that was committed and people like Hillary can say, oh, that is old news. That right there tells you that the government is too big and out of control. If I as a citizen cannot get documents that were produced in my lifetime before my lifetime is done, there is a problem.

She is on the road to become President as well, this is crazy. Do most voters simply "not know" or do they chose to ignore the news, thinking that it is a made-up story????

I honestly have no faith in government, I can't get my BAH and VA work study money on time( seriously); but who can trust anything our government says? We are just as brainwashed and enslaved as any other Nation; be it a Communistic one, A Monarchy one, etc.... The Haves vs. The Have Nots.. That is the reality of this world

SGT Jose Perdelia-Torres - It is not even a case of have and have not's. A lot of people on the liberal side are of the notion that even if you decide not to apply yourself you should get a cut of the pie. I think that most people here would agree that is not a good idea. There are people out there in the world that would be perfectly happy with a 850 sq foot house and enough food to get by with. They would watch TV and be perfectly content. There are those that want a 5000 sq foot house with a boat and 4 cars. Why is that bad?

If I want to work for something and I break my ass to do it, what is the problem as long as I do not run over you? I think that the vast majority of us want nothing more than a level playing field. That does not mean that you will succeed, it just means you get the same starting area.

MSgt Jonathan Stump - In my view and experience it is that way. I have not lived as long as you have, however; I have come to this realization based off of my own experiences and perception. It's something that I see, for instance; when "celebrities" get vastly reduced or no sentences for the same crimes a courtroom would have hung a regular joe up on. I do agree with your sentiments concerning the desire for an equal playing field.

I have loads to learn, and I'm sure my thinking may change over time; but I feel that my thinking is spot with the "Haves vs. Have nots".

Nothing will happen to her - A sailor got caught red handed with 25+ classified documents at his home - while sentenced to 60 days and 10,000 fine paid nothing and served no time due to his pretrial agreement.

However her personal emails (pay to play - Clinton foundation - foreign donations) that were deleted I think are more troubling in my opinion. She's willing to sell out America for her personal financial gain. I say this as the presidents can create executive agreements - a means of securing unilateral control of American foreign relations without senate approval. As well Congressional efforts to rein in the practice of executive agreements and stem the tide of unilateralism have been unsuccessful. This looks like trouble to me if she gets elected.

The Iran -Nuke deal set a new precedence as the review process flipped the 2/3rds - as 2/3rd had to disagree - rather that approve - to block the deal. Nothing was done illegally - the executive branch cleverly stitched together the president's authority to lift domestic sanctions, his authority to make political agreements, and his authority to vote for the United States in the Security Council, in order to make sure the Iran Deal would stick unless super-majorities of Congress reject it.

This sets a dangerous precedent for expanded executive power - but I'm sure Hillary wont abuse it or test her authority especially if there's is any money to be made.

MSgt Danny Hope I read these things, and they just piss me off to no end. She is just as much a megalomaniac as Trump, or any Bond Villain. Thing is if a James Bond movie had a villain who was able to get away with this, it would be seen as fantasy. The sad reality is Hillary Clinton is a woman who has no regard for the American People. She has no regard for anyone but Hillary Clinton.
