Tell me again why Hillary isn't in prison

So the Potomac is the Rubicon?

Some people have brought up to General Mattis, his response has been consistent. “The qualities that you [Marines] see in me are not necessarily the qualities that would endear me to others.”

I loath the concept of a military coup. They rarely make things better, and very regularly make things a lot worse. For every General Mattis, you have at least a hundred General Amos. That said, every generation has a significant number of people that desperately want a King. The lure of monarchism or strong man, or dictator, or whatever is always a threat.

The same can be said of literally every political transition except moving from Communism to something else.

The day that (things I can't say or I will go to prison) get's elected president is the day the American flag on the front of our house goes inverted at a minimum...

Ah, yes -- those one-page documents with 17 pages of instructions explaining how the .gov is reducing the use of paper. Those alone would be enough to dive a person to suicide if he/she had to deal with them on a regular basis.

Some of us would prefer/are hoping for a Cincinnatus or a Washington.

Daniel Payne [author of fistful's linked article] is a senior contributor at The Federalist. He currently runs the blog Trial of the Century, and lives in Virginia.

He'd better move.

Is there a Critic's Protection Program like for Witnesses?

Or maybe he has good woodcraft skills.

Update: Colin Powell has now gone public and stated that what he told Ms. Clinton is not at all what she did. He used a person AOL account for non-secure e-mails, but he used a state.gov account for classified messages. And he made the point that when he became Secretary of State the department's IT was in bad shape, and he directed considerable attention to getting it upgraded.

https://theintercept.com/2016/09/13/colin-powell-emails/

He also says he asked the Clinton team multiple times to stop trying to blame her mess on him.

“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote last year to his business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”

...

Clinton sought Powell’s advice at a dinner on June 16, 2009 at former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s house, according to the emails. Powell gave Clinton “written guidance on why and how [he] had been doing it.” Also in attendance were former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice, Lawrence Eagleburger, George Schultz, Warren Christopher, James Baker and Henry Kissinger.

Even when the truth would serve them better the Clintons would rather climb a ladder and lie than sit down and tell the truth.

If they had come straight out with the pneumonia "story" they could have spun it 6 ways from Sunday and scored massive sympathy points. "Yes, she is sick but really wanted to honor the 9/11 victims...."

I don't think either of them know what the truth is anymore.

Both of them are, I believe, disbarred attorneys.

Both of the Obama's "voluntarily" surrendered their law licenses many, many years ago.  Our resident tile crawlers can explain the possible meanings behind that action....

Now it is being reported that Hillary's campaign is systematically overcharging small (poor) donors. And that she did the same thing eight years ago, when she was running against Obama.

It seems there is nothing too sleazy for the Clinton's to involve themselves in.

Apparently it's been noted before by the MSM:

The New York Times reported in 2007 that Clinton’s first presidential campaign had to refund and subtract hundreds of thousands of dollars from its first-quarter total often because donors’ credit cards were charged twice. Additionally, it was reported that Clinton had to refund a stunning $2.8 million in donations, three times more than the $900K President Barack Obama’s campaign refunded.

Obama, too?

I was amused by this:

The source [see posted article --230RN] said that pornography companies often deploy a similar arrangement pull [sic]. “We see this same scheme with a lot of seedy porn companies,” the source said. The source also notes that the dozens of phone calls his department receives daily are from people who notice the fraudulent charges on their statements.

"The end justifies the means." (Origin not clear.)

One expects a certain amount of refunds - they're setting up for a relatively brief period of time, probably pulling in money/donations from multiple locations using volunteers.  Stuff gets misplaced.

Now, in order to determine the scope of the problem, I'd want to see how much a few Republicans like Bush had to refund, and how their refund rate (% of transactions and money reversed) compares to say, charities and commercial businesses like Walmart.

Knowing that having to refund money is a thing for nearly anybody taking money (including criminals when they're forced to pay restitution), the question becomes, was the amount reasonable?

Considering that in 2012 Obama broke $1B, a refund rate of less than 0.1% isn't something that I feel we can legitimately criticize him for.

And that's before you get into things like them deciding they don't want donations from 'politically negative' sources.

I swear, I'm an unaffiliated voter and always have been. Any resemblance between me and a Democrat (or a Republican, for that matter) is accidental and coincidental.
