    It's with Durham right now. Why didn't the Obama administration charge them?

    Hillary Clinton testified that her secret private server had been approved by the the State Department and Intelligence cybersecurity. That was a bold face lie, even Comey had to admit that in his investigation they found no one at either who had even been asked to look at it. Why wasn't she charged with lying to Congress?

    I guess the DOJ accepted her spokesman explanation. Is this another that Durham is looking into? Lol
    Brian Fallon, a Clinton campaign spokesman, told us that even though the IG report contradicts Clinton’s past statements, that “doesn’t make her statements untruthful.” He said Clinton, who declined to be interviewed by the inspector general’s staff, “believed — past tense” that her use of a private server was allowed, that it was no different than Powell using a commercial email account to conduct government business.

    There was no explanation, she flat out lied and it wasn't just allowed she testified it had been looked at and approved.

    “OIG found no evidence that Secretary Clinton ever contacted IRM to request [approval], despite the fact that emails exchanged on her personal account regularly contained information marked as SBU [sensitive but unclassified].”

    There is no good comparison here. Clinton and Obama didn't pardon or commute sentences of convicted accomplices. For that matter, neither of them had close associates end up being charged and convicted at all, let alone several, as Trump has. The worst thing Bill Clinton did was try to cover up a presidential blow job and ultimately bring lasting pain and misery to poor Monica Lewinski in the process.

    A worthless excuse. She testified to a statement of fact and it was a lie, it had NEVER been approved and never even been submitted to be approved and she had been warned by her own staff it needed to be approved.

    "From Page 37: "Secretary Clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business [but she didn’t]."

    And according to the OIG report, those staff members responsible for granting such approval “did not — and would not — approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business.”....

    ...As previously noted, OIG found no evidence that [legal] staff reviewed or approved Secretary Clinton’s personal system."
    She testified she had done so.

    Clinton did what are you talking about?? McDugal and Hubbard and of course we could throw his own brother it the mix. And Clinton lied about his trading special favors and rewards with subordinate employees in exchange for sexual favors when he was sued by another former subordinate worker for sexual assault and harassment. You know what feminist had fought against for years and had gotten laws passed to protect such women in the workforce.

    The Trump administration has, they assign Durham as a special prosecutor. Why did it have to wait for that instead of the Obama administration prosecuting them?

    If you aren't aware of the scope of the Durham investigation that is your problem, get better news sources.

    I agree with all of the pardons relating to drugs. Clinton escalated the war on drugs so he has no credibility.
