Just saying its a stark contrast. Posts about benghazi are like dead baby jokes. The first is at least a little funny. The second is irritating. We’d all appreciate it if a third wasn’t forthcoming. ---

> [@slash2k](#): > > Sure, Obama and Clinton could have gotten troops there within a day, if they’d wanted. Do you think Obama and Clinton could have gotten troops to Benghazi in under an hour?

Yeah, but can we continue the discussion of how Hillary emailed all of our uranium to Russia, then deleted the 33,000 attachments so we couldn’t get our uranium back? No? Darn. ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > Oh god, that’s hilarious. Why would the FBI send anybody to Benghazi? They meaning the government. It’s hilarious to see the number of men and resources sent to arrest one man. Yet when an ambassador fears for his safety and those around him, the government does nothing. Hilarious was Obama trying to shift some of the blame to an obscure video. ---

Deleting 33,000 governmental emails is a crime. Sending classified information through an insecure private server is also a crime. And of course, the was found lying about not sending documents marked classified. Put Hillary Clinton under oath, and she would please the 5th faster than you can say Uranium. On the emails send, as far as I know, there is no way to delete the message to the sender. Clinton’s server was likely hacked by China and Russia. They would have her by the short hairs if she were elected President. ---

OK, so do you have any examples of things that are crimes that were done by Hillary Clinton? Otherwise, we could just list all sorts of other things that are crimes that she hasn’t done. Murdering Vince Foster is a crime. Sexually abusing children with a slice of pepperoni pizza is a crime. Ripping out peoples’ still-beating hearts in satanic rituals to appease the Antichrist is a crime. Hey, this is easy! ---

Man, I swear this thread used to be about Roger stone. Y’know, a relevant piece of news - another member of Donald Trump’s campaign arrested and charged with federal crimes. ---

I was too specific earlier. No more Hillary Clinton discussion in this thread unless it directly related to Roger Stone, the topic of this thread. [/moderating] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/roger-stone-arrested-in-early-morning-fbi-raid/828387.md?page=7)
