Gowdy knows there is an FBI investigation underway. This is just more redneck showboating in the kangaroo court.

I expect he will be given immunity to void his fifth amendment plea.

Exactly. The toothpaste is outa the tube already. No way they're gonna sweep this one under the rug as they've attempted to do with the other myriad of Scandals Ma Clintion has been embroiled in.

CLINTON: ‘I WAS NOT THINKING A LOT’ WHEN I BECAME SECRETARY OF STATE

And now she is?

"With a long line of debunked lies, shredded excuses, and abandoned spin attempts behind her, Hillary Clinton finally decided it was time to “apologize” for her email scandal.

Of course, her idea of an “apology” basically amounts to: I’m sorry you Little People are too stupid to understand what I was up against, as a historic female Secretary of State.

For good measure, Clinton threw in a stiff dose of the amazing Incompetence Defense into her MSNBC appearance – that bizarre, and disturbingly effective, tactic pioneered by the Obama Administration where officials claim to be innocent of wrongdoing by insisting they’re not very good at their jobs.

This was accompanied with the magic phrase “I take responsibility,” which means exactly the opposite of its normal interpretation when used by anyone associated with the Obama Administration. To this bunch, I take responsibility means I have no intention of accepting any blame or consequences for these actions, but since I said the magic words, you have to quit pestering me about it.

Clinton, an exceedingly poor retail politician who still can’t quite understand that her coronation has come off the rails, played all of these cards badly.

She explained that she had used a personal email account as a senator from New York and didn’t spend much time considering alternatives when she became secretary of state in 2009. “I did all my business on my personal email [in the Senate],” Clinton said. “I was not thinking a lot when I got in [to the State Department]. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn’t really stop and think what kind of email system will there be.”

“This was fully above board, people knew I was using a personal email, I did it for convenience. I sent emails that I thought were work related to people’s dot gov accounts,” she added.

There’s a sound bite every politician wants following them around: I was not thinking a lot when I got in.

Her claim not to have thought about the matter much is patently, demonstrably false – she overrode a great deal of warning and advice from State officials to establish her homebrew server. The State Department’s technical team did not know she was using a personal system – all hell broke loose when it went down, and they had no idea why her mail wasn’t going through. It was all so “fully above board” that no one knew about it until lawsuits forced the existence of her email system to light, and the guy who set it up just invoked his Fifth Amendment rights to avoid discussing it with the FBI.

As for the “convenience” claim, even leaving aside the copious evidence that she simply is not telling the truth about her desire to carry only one email device – and how ridiculous that sounded all along, coming from a high-powered official who travels with a vast retinue – she’s making a terrible indictment of her own sense of judgment by pushing this line. Her quest for “convenience” exposed classified material, launched both internal and law-enforcement investigations, and will very possibly end with indictments – if not of Clinton herself, than of whichever staffer takes the fall for violating protocols and getting classified material onto her server.

She doesn’t seem to understand that her honesty and trustworthiness numbers are falling not just because she tells a lot of stories that don’t check out, but because even if you take what she says at face value, she’s making herself sound like a very poor candidate for high office in the Information Age.

As for her supposedly “more contrite tone,” as NBC puts it, she didn’t actually apologize for what she’s done – she only said she’s “sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to all these questions.”

In other words, she’s talking down to the people troubled by her conduct, which is not a great way to win them over. She’s still trying to shift focus onto her critics and obscure what the story is really all about. The bottom line is that she lied about having classified material on that server – straight-up lied, with deliberate intent. She sent it, and she received it. It was classified when she handled it, much of the material in question remains classified to this day, and the only reason it wasn’t “marked classified” is that someone on Clinton’s staff removed the markings. There is nothing “confusing” about the matter at all."

Of course not. When you're a pathological, schizophrenic serial liar as is Ma Clinton, nothing confusing at all about it!

You know, you almost feel sorry for the old bag she looks so pitiful these days but then, total recall: Major crimes and misdemeanors of HRC slam back into the consciousness and you really don't...

HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN IN FREE FALL

"Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign is crashing faster than even her toughest critics hoped.

Two state polls from NBC/Marist, released Sunday, show Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
is now ahead of Hillary by 11 points in New Hampshire, the first primary state. In Iowa, Hillary is still ahead of Sanders, but she only earns 38 percent of the vote among Hawkeye Democrats.

Moreover, Clinton hasn’t faced aggressive opposition from Sanders. He has made it a point of pride not to criticize Clinton on the campaign trail. He hasn’t run any negative advertising against her political record or even against the recent email scandal engulfing her campaign.

She’s losing, or losing support, even though she has high, favorable ratings among Democrats in both states. In Iowa, 67 percent of Democrats have a positive view of Clinton. In New Hampshire, 69 percent of Democrats have a favorable opinion. Her problem is that a very large number of Democrats who say they like her aren’t voting for her. If she is struggling to close the deal with Democrats who like her, she will face an almost impossible task if she is the Democrat nominee."

Hillary Clinton Campaign in Free Fall

Can't happen fast enough. She needs to be put out to pasture - preferably in Levenworth or Gitmo.

Particularly funny that he is older than Hillary . . . so, add misogynist to his penchant of slagging off other people's families

I'm surprised you would fall for a quote from Dimbart taken out of context. Your are usually pretty level headed.

Complains about Obamacare / Socialised medicine... Uses it here.

Complains about taxes being used on benefits for poor (but not the massive wedge consumed by the military)... Dodges paying taxes.

There ain't no hypocrisy quite like right wing hypocrisy.

Yeah, but you also know I don't like HRC anyway so will seize any opportunity to poke fun at her. Can't help it mate I just don't like her.

Still ... I watched her on the telly today and heard her say it herself. Of course she was talking about email.

She has absolutely no credibility left.

Don't know why some a y'all keep banging on about her like she's still a viable canditate for something other than like a Town Dog Catcher in Bum Fuck, New Mexico.

Says the guy that thinks Cruz stands a chance and is wrong about almost everything!

You shouldn't use words like "credibility" when it's obvious you don't understand what they mean, Booners.

^ Unlike WJC ... HRC has no charisma at all. To me it just seems like the Democrats, and especially feminists, just seem determined to nominate her simply because she's a woman. As I've moved gradually from the right to the left it seems to me it's Bernie Sanders who liberals should be supporting not HRC.

^ that's it. Vote for moi coz I is woman, is the basis of her pitch.

The election of Obama was actually a bit exciting- half Black, and he emerged from relative obscurity. The elction of Hillary will be the opposite. I'm sure it would depress me to know the amount of people in the US that still care she's a girl.

Yes. I didn't support her in 2008 but I would reluctantly vote for her if she was the candidate over any of the nutty Republican clowns.
