    Breaking news! Yep! You betcha. Hillary will cooperate in full on e-mail investigation, including turning over a thumb drive with a copy of all messages. At this time, what difference does it make? Even if the unsecured server had a RAID system, the data is long gone. Redundancy procedures would have taken care of the dastardly deed automatically. Anything copied to the thumb drive would not have included deleted files. Either the FBI or Trey Gowdy is just going to gave a large paperweight. What a waste of time and taxpayer money. It would be much easier to ask Russia, China or Ukraine for the server contents. Can't make it up. Pfft.

    Good. I'd normally say "about time", but that actually has long past. If she has nothing to hide, she shouldn't fear such an investigation. However, it is has become painfully obvious she most certainly does.

    Yeah, they are not going to find anything.. there have probably been a small fortune´s worth of computer programmers that have already double-deleted everything possible. The team the gov´t uses to ´find stuff´ is going to be vastly inferior to the team that has been working on removing stuff the past year.

    But this is politics. People who do not like Hillary will assume she deleted anything anyway, and people who support her will say she ´came clean´... the rest of us will be split among those that understand a thing or two about computers and those that don´t. A lot of people who are undecided will not know enough to realize that they will never find the stuff she deleted. They probably had their own people spend months trying to find stuff, and only after their own people said they could not find it, then she handed it over.

    Political theatre, nothing more.

    Well I guess we will see what they reveal. It is one of the things that we just have to take at face value. Either way, I think these emails are going to make or break her campaign depending on what is contained on them. I don't think there could be too damning or I don't see Hillary agreeing to it. I guess that we will just have to see and make sure that we see what is on them.

    She took off all incriminating emails from that thumb drive. That's what she did. Why did it take so long for her to turn it in? She needed time to take it off and now that the issue is going to come up on debates and smear campaign, she is covering her tracks. How long has it been 3 months? No matter she does from this point, that will be an issue and a red flag for anyone that looks at the facts and time frame it took her to comply.

    Breaking news this midday. Heard on a CBS news break at the top of the hour, nothing was found on Hillary's server. Barer than a baby's bottom. (Wiped clean by a company in New Jersey, a state known for hiding things very well. After all, Jimmy Hoffa is not to be found. Buried under Giants Stadium, or in the Pune Barrens?) What a surprise. Could have fooled me. At this time, what difference does it make? Pfft.

    I think the awful truth about Madam Secretary will be uncovered eventually. It just may take far longer than we expect.

    Bill Clinton was playing golf with Obama over the weekend. My guess is that the DOJ will have the FBI suddenly and mysteriously drop the matter, or at least start stonewalling everyone to death.

    I think the way that this has been handled will end up disqualifying her from the presidency. I just don't see the public ever trusting her again. I'm not sure why they did in the first place, considering all the shadyness the Clintons have been involved with through the years. She's clearly hiding something. I don't know if the truth will ever come to light now that they've waited so long to go after the emails. But I think the damage is done. If I were the Dems I'd be looking for Plan B.

    The people that don´t trust her are people who would never vote for a democrat anyway. The middle views it as a Republican witch-hunt. I think against a viable Republican it could get some traction... but meh.. Trump is going all looney right now, so you give the 20% in the middle the option, and they aren´t going to go with the crazy guy.
