Hillary Clinton Announces Bid for White House

It's based off common sense. Women are not as physically strong as men, so it makes sense for them to not assault someone like a man would. Domestic violence is mainly from males, wouldn't you agree? It's because they are physically stronger and can impose themselves on people who aren't able to fight back equally.

 

Yes, drug charges get people there more than violent crimes do. That said, violent crimes are majority done by males. The point still stands as to why more men are in jail than women.

 

If it's hardly relevant, why did you bring it up?

There are statistics that show domestic violence is up to 40% against males. It's far more even of a split than you'd think. In fact a man who reports a domestic violence case is actually more likely to get arrested for it than not.

Didn't she also say something incredibly stupid?

The U.S. Defense Department has found an email chain that Hillary Clinton did not give to the State Department, the State Department said on Friday, despite her saying she had provided all work emails from her time as secretary of state.

 

The correspondence with General David Petraeus, who was commander of U.S. Central Command at the time, started shortly before she entered office and continued during her first days as the top U.S. diplomat in January and February of 2009.

 

The Defense Department provided the emails to the State Department in "the last several days," State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

 

The exchange of 10 or so emails, the existence of which were first reported by the Associated Press on Friday, largely dealt with personnel issues, according to the State Department.

 

Clinton's use of a private email account connected to a server in her home instead of a government-issued email address came to light in March.

 

News of the previously undisclosed email thread only adds to a steady stream of revelations about the emails in the past six months, which have forced Clinton to revise her account of the setup which she first gave in March.

 

Nearly a third of all Democrats and 58 percent of all voters think Clinton is lying about her handling of her emails, according to a Fox News poll released this week.

 

The email arrangement has drawn criticism from political opponents who accused the Democratic presidential front-runner of sidestepping transparency and record-keeping laws and of potentially exposing classified information to hackers.

 

The controversy has cut into Clinton's lead in the race for the Democratic nomination for the November 2016 election.

 

Jamal Ware, spokesman for the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which wants all Clinton emails concerning the 2012 attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, said the committee would not have a detailed comment until it had received and reviewed the emails.

 

"If indeed this is a sign the stonewalling and political protection effort that was previously being run by the (State) Department is diminishing, the committee welcomes it," he said. "The proof will be in the production."

 

Clinton apologized this month for her email setup, saying it was unwise. But as recently as Sunday, she told CBS when asked about her emails that she provided "all of them."

 

Last December, she provided what she said were copies of all 30,000 or so work emails she had in her possession, nearly two years after she stepped down as secretary of state.

 

She did not hand over another 30,000 emails from the period that she deemed personal and said she chose "not to keep."

 

The emails with Petraeus also appear to contradict the claim by Clinton's campaign that she used a private BlackBerry email account for her first two months at the department before setting up her clintonemail.com account in March 2009. This was the reason her campaign gave for not handing over any emails from those two months to the State Department.

 

The Petraeus exchange shows she started using the clintonemail.com account by January 2009, according to the State Department.

 

Clinton's spokesmen, who did not respond to questions, have acknowledged that other work emails from later in her tenure were also missing from the record Clinton handed over. They have declined to say why.

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now examining Clinton's server as it looks into the possible mishandling of classified information between Clinton and her staff.

 

Media outlets, including the Associated Press, and several other groups have filed dozens of lawsuits under freedom of information laws seeking Clinton's email records.

Wait, they're getting on to her for not releasing an email chain from BEFORE she became Sec of State?

NEW YORK (AP) — After largely staying in the background as Hillary Rodham Clinton kicked off her second campaign for president, former President Bill Clinton is ready to take on a more public role in his wife's second bid for the White House.

 

Bill Clinton's move to deepen his political involvement comes as his wife confronts the insurgent campaign of Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and the chance that Vice President Joe Biden could make a late entry into the race.

 

 

 

She can't win on her own. Bill to the rescue.

Bill Clinton is far more intelligent than Hillary (and most everyone else) and he's a far more savvy politician. I'm not a fan of Bill's at all but he's just far more likable than Hillary. Hillary is good at raising money and sucking off donors but everyone knows she's full of shit. Bill was good at hiding it.

[Favre4Ever+ 4,476]

Yes, Bill was Obama before Obama. He was very cunning, very likable. You might not have liked his politics, but more than likely, you still liked him. His approval rating barely flinched AS HE WAS GETTING IMPEACHED. I mean, how does that work? He had a way of winning people over that Hillary couldn't even dream of doing. She will cash in on that, no doubt.

Probably because his impeachment was a sham and everyone knew it.

[Sarge+ 3,436]

At the same time, the majority of people love to find someone guilty before they even have their day in court. It's still pretty crazy that Clinton remained a beloved figure during the impeachment process.

[Thanatos 2,847]

How was it a sham, exactly? He lied under oath.

 

"It depends on what the definition of is, is."

 

Just lmao.

[Cherry 1,302]

He lied about cheating on his wife. I think as shitty as that is it's not like a Nixon level scandal.

[Thanatos 2,847]

Right, but wasn't it under oath? That was the impeachable part.

[blotsfan 2,112]

You really think that lying under oath about cheating on your wife is worth changing the president of the united states?

[Favre4Ever+ 4,476]

Impeachment is just bringing those charges against a really high up official. The process of actually removing them from office is a separate one.

First off, that's not what impeachment means. Second off, he committed a crime for which the average citizen spends jail time or is punished by the law in some way. Clinton, to my knowledge, was never punished for it, which sends the message that the President is above the law.

Impeachment was done because they wanted to remove him from office.

Lol.

 

Impeachment was done because he broke the law. Republicans wanted him removed sure, but that's just politics. He was never going to be removed because they didn't have the votes for it. If they did, he probably would have just went out like Nixon.
