1. This is important because our election was hacked, compromised by our enemy.

I understand the Republicans dont care because they like the outcome, but that is unpatriotic.

Patriots need to never let this issue go, otherwise we really arent who we say we are and think of all those great men and women who died for this country, for what? For us to allow Russia to decide who we elect?

Bullshit.

3. There might be something sketchy about this.

Here's an article by one of the people who filed the suit.

6. While I am not happy with what the email controversy did in

making Donald Trump our President, I applaud the attempt at real journalism. Hillary's hubris in trying to circumvent FOIA requests and the government's rules ultimately set into motion everything we have now, Russian hacking of our election and Donald Trump as President. She paid a very high price for that hubris!

Let's hope the press is equally diligent at investigating Trump and his minions! I can only imagine the shit they will get up to. My guess is that they will not use emails at all because they would have way too much incriminating evidence. I cannot see them following any rules what so ever!!!

7. "Hillary's hubris" - more like the State Department's blocking

From the VICE article:

Contreras ordered State to propose a deadline for releasing all of Clinton’s emails. And at a hearing on May 19, the State Department did: Jan. 15, 2016, two weeks before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

In a 13-page declaration, John Hackett, the State Department’s FOIA chief, said the “intensive,” time-consuming task of reviewing Clinton’s emails would not be completed until the end of the year. And for the first time, the government disclosed that Clinton’s emails had been turned over to the State Department in “paper form in twelve bankers’ boxes” in December 2014, about a month after I filed my FOIA request.

That seems to indicate that Clinton turned over her emails to the State Department in a timely fashion in response to the FOIA. The State Department was the entity fighting the FOIA all the way along, not Hillary Clinton or the Clinton campaign.

Hillary Clinton was no longer the Secretary of State and had no control over what the State Department did at that point. She was NOT attempting to"circumvent FOIA requests"

8. I think you missed my point. Hillary's hubris was in

Setting up her own server instead of using the required State Dept one. She did it to avoid FOIA requests.
