    Well he campaigned on “lock her up” and despite nearly a dozen investigations and her testifying in front of Congress for 10 hours, guess what happened? Zippity doo daa

        Sure, 39 times, yet no evidence was found of wrongdoing other than business as usual when sensitive into was involved iirc. I’ve never liked her but you gotta give it to her that she’s not exactly the evil that people made her out to be, and in contrast to the rest of these terrible fuckers running the country to the ground

        You’re thinking of Reagan testifying before Congress about Iran Contra.

        It worked for Karl Rove and Dick Cheney when they talked about vote manipulation in 2004.

        It was also the only way Spiro Agnew got through his corruption hearing in front of Congress while Nixon tried to do the same for Watergate until the taped conversations were released.

        It’s a time tested conservative play when confronted by a request to tell the truth: don’t lie but deny the allegations. Weirdly, I can’t find any time a democrat, Hilary or otherwise, repeated “I don’t recall” for their entire testimony. It just seems to be a conservative play.

        Which is exactly how she beat those 91 felony indictments, right? Oh wait, it’s TRUMP that’s going to prison. Maybe Hillary will bring him some cookies in the slammer when he becomes someone’s butt buddy.
