The exact opposite reaction they should have, Clinton and Trump were both cleared because there was no indication of criminal intent. Our politics has gotten so juvenile, I was so hoping the GOP would change the character of political dialogue, a more positive argument for their agenda was in order. I can't help but be disappointed, but I can't say I'm not surprised.

there's no intent required for the crime Hillary committed.
Which crime would that be? The one where she was investigated a dozen times or the one where she was investigated 4 times?

the one where she used her private server to transmit top secret emails. The same one where her minions tried to destroy hard drives and her buddies at the DOJ gave everyone immunity in exchange for nothing.

The ones she committed and was not prosecuted for because the FBI director claimed he could not find something irrelevant to the charges that was right in front of his nose.

On what, exactly, did you base this hope?

Bipartisan cooperation is liable to start looking good to them, probably after it's too late. I might have been overly optimistic but this always shifts, you would think they would learn that after a while.

There is always an intent required for a crime, that's simply how our common law works and it's in the case law precedence.

Clearly we haven't gotten to that point yet .

Some whiles are longer than others.

Nothing? Why we have had 2 years of a special prosecutor investigation based on a unsubstantiated suspicion that a crime might have been committed. And nothing happened. I guess you're correct about that anyway. So we had a special prosecutor to investigate something that did not happen but we had no special prosecutor assigned to investigate a crime that everyone involved in the FBI investigation admits actually took place.

Try telling the judge that you did not intend to break the speed limit by driving 85MPH in a 30 MPH zone and see how effective that is .

Nothing concerning Hillary Clinton, yes. The last I heard was that Trump didn't want anything bad happen to hear. Then, nothing but some book toures.

You must be pretty mad at Trump for not getting a special prosecutor on HCs case, mustn't you?

I don't get emotionally stirred up by politics. So no I'm not mad. Bemused maybe.

And here I thought the GOP would keep and defend the moral high ground, boy was I wrong :doh:

Graham is beginning to worry me. 5 months ago I would have said he's the best senator us conservatives had aside from maybe Paul...but he's losing at least my support rather quickly (this and the "bipartisan" usurpation of gun rights).
