    It'll be interesting to see if Trump can convict her in the court of public opinion anyway. If he ducks it he's a pussy so he'll have to go on the attack.

    Gonna be fun to watch.

    It's really up to the American people. They know it was all bullshit, and she was completely careless and negligent with their welfare in her actions in her position as SoS.
    If that doesn't matter to them, which I don't believe will, they'll make her president.
    The people who believe she's indictable for it already do, and those that don't ,or don't give a fuck, will not have their minds changed by Trump. No one will look any closer.
    Oddly, of all the bs he talks, this about the"fix" being in, is absolutely accurate and true, imo.
    People's minds are already made up, Hillary above the law notwithstanding, and they will just turn him off, as stated above.

    i just want to know why BO continues to come out and make inflammatory statements before the facts are out
    a video only shows so much and the way things used to work is we would get everyones side
    now its just a cop kills a black person and BO admonishes the cops and we get rioting and mayhem
    in this case it looks like at least one cop was down, maybe 3 or 4
    it is just totally irresponsible for the potus to fan the flames of hatred without any facts besides the video

    Shouldn't be making those comments...makes people crazy. They feel it's OK for armed insurrection.
    Guy doesn't have a clue about leadership, not a clue.
    A true community organizer.

    BREAKING NEWS
    State Department reopens Clinton emails probe
    by Bradley Klapper | Associated Press — 3 hours ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is reopening an internal investigation of possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and top aides, officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

    Although the former secretary of state's closest confidants have left the agency, they could still face punishment. The most serious is the loss of security clearances, which could complicate her aides' hopes of securing top positions on her national security team if she becomes president.

    The State Department started its review in January after declaring 22 emails from Clinton's private server to be "top secret." It was suspended in April so as not to interfere with the FBI's inquiry. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the probe is restarting after the Justice Department's announcement Wednesday that it won't bring any criminal charges.

    "We will aim to be as expeditious as possible, but we will not put artificial deadlines on the process," Kirby said. "Our goal will be to be as transparent as possible about our results, while complying with our various legal obligations."

    Kirby wouldn't say anything more about the precise information officials are evaluating. But when the probe was launched almost six months ago, officials said it pertained particularly to a set of emails that were upgraded to one of the nation's highest classification levels. One question they said they were investigating was whether any of the emails were classified at the time of transmission.

    Additionally Thursday, Republican lawmakers said they would now ask the FBI to investigate whether Clinton lied to the committee. That announcement came in a testy hearing with FBI Director James Comey, who defended the government's decision not to prosecute Clinton over her private email setup.

    Clinton was secretary of state until early 2013. Most of her top advisers left shortly thereafter.

    But Kirby said this week former officials can still face punishment. Options range from counseling and warnings to the revocation of an individual's security clearance.

    Beyond the Democratic front-runner, the probe is will most likely examine confidants Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan and Huma Abedin — who wrote many of the emails to their boss that the various investigations have focused on. Mills, Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department, has been viewed as a possibility for the same job in the White House. There is speculation that Sullivan, Clinton's former policy chief, could be national security adviser.

    "There could be repercussions," Kirby told reporters Wednesday, saying infractions identified would be kept on file. If someone's security clearance is taken away, he said it would have an effect "assuming that individual still needed the clearance to work in another federal agency or something like that."

    The State Department says it won't identify former officials that still hold security clearances. But in an email Fox News made public earlier this year, the department described Mills as still holding a valid clearance.

    Not rellevant perhaps, but I've read that Hima Abedin's brother is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
    Interesting, if so.

    BO is no community organizer, he is an opportunist and an anarchist
    He was well equipped to handle racial affairs and chose to fan the flames of division
    He wants us all to hate each other and fight in the streets

    Obama is a POS. There, simplified. I want to like him. Was happy for him when he was inaugurated in 2008. But I was naive. The guy is a petulant child and a bully.

    I remember the Newark, NJ riots man.
    This could be a bad and bloody summer on deck here...what has happened can't be undone, the thing now is that it does not metastize to other urban areas.

    You look at what a priveleged white person can get away with on TV, and blacks see members of various communities killed by police...for the extreme fringe out there, this is all they need to justify murderous actions. Ambush is a wartime methodology, and I guess that is what we have. Terrorists, foreign and home grown, and insurrection amongst the citizenry. We movin' right along, ain't we? To where, IDK...
    60 shot over the holiday in the cesspool of Chicago...where is the leadership this country needs? It's too much for him, amd he hasn't a clue what to do.
    And what was front and center 24 hours ago, negligence and incompetence by a person on the brink of becoming the POTUS, is swept from mainstream conscienceness.
    I'll bet she is smiling from ear to ear.
    Privately of course.

    I agree Devil...but my opinion, and what I've seen over the years watching C.O.s, has contained the anarchy and the opportunism the Kenyan shows. Al Sharpton with a stentorian vocal delivery.
    That said, considering the desired results, he is a overwhelming success.
