The 2016 election may be long over but the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails related to the 2012 Benghazi attack has been given fresh life—by a federal judge appointed by President Barack Obama. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled earlier this week that the State Department had not been sufficiently thorough when responding to Freedom…
Hillary, herself, is old news. But, Trump hates the Clinton’s and Obama and he’s the president, so this story will go on and on.
The Democratic Party has lost it’s way and is searching for a “new” message.
The Party’s journey into oblivion……..we all know the Party has lost the Senate, the House, the Presidency and multiple governorships and state legislatures over the past decade…….. began in 1990, when the neo-liberal Democratic Leadership Council decided who to back for president in 1992.
Recently the neo-liberal wing of the Democratic Party deployed the likes of Sen. Chris Murphey (D-CT), Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), and the leader of the Blue Dog Democrats, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), to push a possible presidential run by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the oligarchs favorite, in 2020.
Progressives need to resist the pro-corporatist, neo-liberal faction in the Democratic Party with the same vigor that they are resisting Trump and the fascist wing in the Republican Party.
As annoying as it may be to have this issue continue to be in the news, it seems like the right decision. We wouldn’t want the State Department not to check their own servers for records on the grounds that Trump’s appointee used their own server — it’s very odd that the State Department fought searching those records.
As to the current question of “Why are Secretary Tillerson and Attorney General Sessions wasting taxpayer dollars protecting Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration?” — it seems clear that they want to keep this in the news as long as possible.
Foraker has it right. If you merge government and private records, they all become government records.
