If it hadn’t been the email or Benghazi, the R’s would have contrived some other piece of bullshit to smear HRC with. I think we can all see that as soon as the election is over, the outcry to punish the opponent for supposed misdeeds just fades away. Comey interceded on behalf of Trump, pure and simple, and he was rewarded for it as quietly as possibly. IMHO, it cost HRC the election and put the world in great danger, not to mention put the freedoms enjoyed by the majority of Americans who refused to vote for the bastard in grave danger.

We now have an unbalanced president leading a primitive bunch of theocrats and greed mongers in congress. They should all fall into a pit.

Much harder to prove that, given the FBI’s long-standing commitment to racial equality and justice. Did you see that documentary about how the FBI wiped out the Klan in Mississippi?

Wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t determined to take us with them. Trump is the Leader, the alpha lemming. “Follow meeeee!!!”…(splat!)
