"CNN has cut all ties with Interim Democratic Party Chairwoman Donna Brazile, following revelations that she shared at least two questions with Hillary Clinton's campaign in advance of CNN-hosted Democratic debates and town hall broadcasts. 'We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor,' the network's PR department said in a statement.
They knew what kind of people they were dealing with.

This is a gross exaggeration. She merely declined to respond to a letter from a couple of Congressmen, as I read the story, hardly the same thing as refusing under oath on grounds of self incrimination.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Brazile's actions were uncovered in emails released by WikiLeaks after a hacker penetrated the Gmail account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. …"
There's no indication HRC rejected the information on the grounds of fair play, right vs wrong, is there?
I'll answer that. Hell to the no.

It has been mentioned a few times, but it really bears repeating: Trump's energy is phenomenal. .
Yes, he has a bed on his airplane, and all the incidentals of a day-- getting dressed, his meals, etc.-- are tended to by his staff. But to do this kind of campaigning-- flying from city to city, speaking to crowds, getting back on the plane to fly to another public appearance-- day after day, week after week, month after month, would seriously tire most healthy 35 year olds. Most healthy 70 year olds would have dropped dead sometime last summer.
The man is still going strong.
I have been listening to his speeches. His values and his vision are pitch perfect to counter these corrupt times. Add to that an apparently endless supply of energy-- he is the man we need in the Oval Office.
What an amazing journey from the first-rate ass clown.

Today while driving I sensed a glimpse of what it would feel like to return to liberty and the relief of Neo-Prog oppression that hangs over us like Damocles' sword only without all the benefits. The overwhelming catharsis of the moment brought tears to my eyes. If I could just have these chains removed.....

Yep. And I am of the opinion that witnesses should be denied the protection of the 5th amendment when they are gov't employees answering questions directly relating to their actions taken relating to their job performance/execution while employed by the gov't. They should be compelled to answer to the taxpayers or our representatives. And she should not be permitted to "decline to answer" either.

I voted for Trump today too. I didn't figure anything could come out that would change my vote, so might as well get 'er done.

Hillary this afternoon referred to Huma as "one of my staffers." Uh oh. (Something about "the emails of one of my staffers should be examined"-- something like that.) Huma, meet the undercarriage of the bus.
But it still won't save Hillary. Eventually, corruption spills out into the light of day. Character is known. The grifters pulled it off for a long time, but that time is winding down.
Emerson put it well: "Character is always known... murder will speak out of stone walls."

That won't be necessary. The next sewer dump will include the ones under the bus.

Good. Throw Huma under the bus. Maybe that will inspire her to return the favor.

There are two sides to that.
On the one hand, employees of the Executive branch ought to be expected to provide full, complete information to Congress, in aid of its responsibility to make good, and better, laws, within their lawful powers. Some employees deal with information which ought not, can not, be made public, and there are good and proper justifiable safeguards to try to protect legitimate sensitive information.
On the other hand, Congress has 435 members of widely varying backgrounds, intelligence, beliefs, experience, and has a poor record, some would say appalling, of keeping secrets secret. We can't have every employee telling every Congress member anything he or she wishes to ask about. For one thing, it would leave no time for regular useful work, if you will allow the assumption that there is regular useful work.
Moreover, we are very sensitive to depriving someone, anyone, of well recognized Constitutional rights, even, or maybe especially, convicts or about to be convicts. Military members give up some "rights" but not 5th Amendment rights.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
