The thing is, even if it what she did \*was \*illegal, even if the FBI is right in investigating her…

Why the hell is the public getting to read emails which clearly didn’t violate the law?

First we had the Benghazi investigation which was [guaranteed to last right up until the next election](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/23/gop-spokesman-benghazi-report-may-slip-into-2016/), now we’ve got scandalous emails to cluck our tongues over. Anyone who says this was about anything other than derailing her chance at the Presidency is being entirely duplicitous.

this sort of classism is why I tend to bristle when interacting with British people. if they think they’re “above” you they’ll be sure to let you know it.

01/Jan/1953 Decided to become president.

01/Jan/1963 Prepared lecture for school on why I deserve to become president.

01/Jan/1973 Merged ‘_ **End The War Now !** _’ movement with the ‘_ **Hillary for President !** _’ campaign.

01/Jan/1983 Sent New Years Good Wishes to President Reagan with the suggestion I would make the best president ever.

01/Jan/1993 Bill’s becoming president. \* It should have been me\*.

01/Jan/2003 Soon I will be president. In the meantime I’ll denounce illegal immigrants.

01/Jan/2013 After Obama leaves, he’ll ensure I’m his successor; he owes me big after stealing '08. After all everyone knows I am entitled to be president.

The rest is just more of the same.
