I couldn’t find a thread about this already, so I figured I’d start one. Any thoughts on the ongoing FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server? Do you think it’s been a factor in Bernie’s recent win-loss ratio?Anyone think there’s a significant chance she’ll get charged with anything? Was trying to downplay it as a “security inquiry” a mistake? ---

I will give you credit for starting a “Just Asking Questions” thread about a Hilary topic that has a shred of something interesting about it. Better than your buddy’s thread where he dug up a years old “scandal” that was long proven to be a pile of crap. Carry on Just Asking Questions. ---
