So, how’d that transparency thing work out for ya, Director Comey?
Oh. But … wait. Wait. You must mean that neither Adedin nor Weiner had any idea that 30,000 of Abedin’s personal emails found their way onto Weiner’s laptop, notwithstanding that Abedin did not use the laptop and for the four years when she and Clinton were at the State Dept. spent most of the time out of the country with Clinton or in her State Dept. office. Using her own laptop for emails.
So the question remains: How did those emails get onto Weiner’s laptop? Do tell.
Transparency, you know.
We really don’t know how many there were, do we? I don’t think they’re going to tell us.
No, it’s been reported that the metadata indicated that there were approximately 30,000 emails between Abedin and Clinton on that laptop. Seems like an impossibly high number, but that’s the report that was first released back on, I think, Monday. I just read that number again this morning.
Trouble is we don’t know who is doing the “reporting”. It could be complete bullshit just like Comey’s various letters.
There are two brands of justice being served right now. The HRC brand of no transparency, no honesty or trust as all justice is now being conflated and integrity totally being compromised. Anything is ok to do as long as it benefits the massive Clinton Foundation fraud scheme. Then there is Trump justice where nobody is above the law and true justice will be served with full and open transparency. The first thing Trump should do is to grant Mr. Assange his personal freedom back and not to have any political prisoners being held by our country. To me this is a total outrage and abuse of the DOJ and FBI that has become the main obstructer of Justice sponsored by Obama and HRC’s false, nontransparent justice policies. Comey was set up and used as the scape goat for HRC as was the DOJ as both government agencies have been corrupted by the Obama-Clinton brand of false justice. This is why you vote for Trump is so important. If HRC wins we will never again know what is the truth in our government. The cannot nor will be any trust. Corruption at all levels of government will run rampant if HRC wins. America’s integrity and future is on the line with you vote and why your vote is so important.
WR,
You should not be allowed to post on this site, or any site where human beings read.
“Then there is Trump justice where nobody is above the law and true justice will be served with full and open transparency.”
This is without a doubt, the most totally sentence I have seen in this forum. It is beyond fiction.
Your parents must be ashamed.
oops
“totally ignorant sentence”.

talk about poetic justice.
i don’t know what Ryan’s cognitive difficulties are, but as you can see none of us is immune.
EM if something as simple as telling and demanding the truth and accountability in our government upsets you so much then I have hit the nerve center that needs to be fully disclosed to the American people and should be nothing less. Full disclosure and transparency is what HRC is most afraid of and has a life time of lies and deception covering up. HRC wilts if light is shinned on any of her past activities. If fact if we talk about any of her past activities there is already a huge scandal to go with it…It is really rather simple, if Trump wins there will be a grand jury investigation and indictment to follow. If HRC wins there will be no investigation or indictment. Its time to clean out the deep state corruption culture of HRC, Obama and all the poop monsters in Washington.
speaking of which (whom?) i would “naturally” have said “none of us are immune” but i was trying to be correct, so i said “none… is”
which, a quick check of google assures me, some grammarians assert is not so correct as other grammarians insist.
a nice distinction is made by at least one of them, but it is too hard for me to keep in mind, or even analyze when it is in mind.
i suspect language is made up by the people as they go along, and grammar is just a sport for those with time on their hands and a javert-like need to be right.
full disclosure:
i think ryan is less immune than some.
I cannot wait for this election to end. Lots of reasons for that, but one of the main ones is that these posters who have arrived on the scene the last couple of months will go back into the homes under the bridges.
Of all the words that anyone can use to compare Clinton and Trump from a Trump perspective, “transparent” is simply the most unbelievable. The American people have been informed of Clinton’s entire life for more than two decades. There is no public figure in US history whose life has been examined closely than that of Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, we do not know how much taxes Trump has paid in the last two decades. We do not know how much he owes Russian and Chinese banks.
Fen rwdws.

don’t expect the Trumpistas to go away. win or lose they will have seen their power and it is enough to give them hopes if not a sense of entitlement.
and, it won’t help us if we keep alienating the normal people if we keep talking about them as if they were bad, ignorant, stupid…
there may not be much hope that we can change human nature… ours as well as theirs… but to the extent that we think that insults are the same as argument we’ll just guarantee that we keep getting hate for hate..
i think if you listen carefully to Bernie, Elizabeth, and even Hillary you will see that they are careful to avoid the hate rhetoric. worth thinking about. also worth actually trying to DO something as opposed to just shouting on the blogs.
I absolutely couldn’t agree with you more, Dale, and I plan to post on that in the next couple of days.
Clinton got it basically right about Trump supporters: I don’t know whether the proportion is roughly 50-50, as she said in her “deplorables” comment, but a substantial percentage of Trump supporters–at least in the upper Midwest–are not deplorables but support Trump because of the loss of manufacturing jobs. Much of that loss, of course, is attributable to technological advances–something that Clinton never drove home, but sure should have–but, clearly, some manufacturing plants have moved to Mexico and manufacturing and assembly jobs to China.
No one wants Clinton or other Dems to curry favor with White supremacists or any of the alt-right, for that matter. But Obama won Ohio and Michigan twice–Michigan, very comfortably–and even Indiana in 2008 because of support in the normally Repub counties that border Michigan.
And Bernie won the Michigan primary and won the western (Republican) counties in landslides. I believe he won all but two counties in the state. And he won both Wisconsin and Indiana. These weren’t White supremacist voters, by any stretch; those voted for Trump.
Thanks Beverly.
That seems to be how Lincoln got re-elected and freed the slaves while incurring the wrath of the radical abolitionists. There seem to be two camps about that. One, the one I agree with, is that Lincoln was always an abolitionist but he was smarter than the radicals who would have lost the war, and abolition, by acting too soon (and ugly) before the country was ready.
The other camp just thought Lincoln was a spineless politician going whichever way the wind blew.
I think it may be important for us to realize that “technological advances” is no excuse for job losses, and certainly not for lower pay.
I suspect just paying the workers who still have jobs a fair wage (as opposed to the non-living wage that the labor surplus allows employers to get away with) would go a long way toward creating jobs for the “technologically unemployed.” In any case we cannot afford to just write off those whose jobs have been replaced by technology.
Nor can we write them all off as racists and ignoramuses. It may be that hard times will release the latent racism in all of us, not to mention the ignoramus in all of us, but a policy of genuine respect for thsoe people, and real help with THEIR problems from the “left” will go a long way toward making them less disposed to hate, and maybe even a little less ignorant.
If Obama has done anything to help the “angry white voter” (or even the black voter) I have not heard about it. Oddly, that may be the fault of the radical left: that is, if Obama has benefited the white or black working class, the fact that we are not hearing about it may be unwillingness of the radical left to admit it as much as the institutional lying of the Repubicans.
