Starting? It's been murky from the get-go because the right has been trying to make routine correspondence look like maniacal plots, and folks that have no understanding of how campaigns and media work behind the scenes view regular communications as proof of collusion and bias.
It's been murky from the start because folks going after Hillary have been actively making it that way. The amount of misinformation that's been spewed by them has essentially, to use an analogy, peed in the data pool to the point where it's hard to tell where the pee ends and the water begins.
But you keep posting about how X or Y is a bombshell...despite them never being such. Your distrust of politicians is fine, I think a lot of people have serious trust issues with their elected representatives across the board. But that doesn't mean that one should reject reality as a result of it.
It's not a scandal, that's the point. That anti-Hillary folks have been making a career of trying to turn mistakes, routine behavior, and flubs into scandals and conspiracies. Benghazi is the best fucking example of this, for fucks sake. How many investigations did we have? And how many turned up exactly zero new evidence or information that wasn't already known?
See, that's the issue, you shouldn't need to make a single "jump" if the dots are all there. The fact that jumps are needed is because there are tons of "dots" missing and people are filling them in with what they want rather than accepting that fact.
Right on, that's what I'm doing with Hillary. As of now, I've seen no damning evidence, and most of what Trump folks have brought up is making a mountain out of a grain of sand. If anything truly damning comes out, so be it, I'll adjust my opinions on the issue(s) accordingly with the new information. But until then, I'll keep on going as usual, dismissing the BS "smoking gun" claims as they come in.
Yep, this is why the left has been pushing for campaign finance reform for a while and why Citizens United, which was lauded by the right, has been a central point of contention for Democratic supporters for years. Funny how that works.
Because as of now, according to the SCOTUS, that's simply Time Warner exercising their First Amendment rights as a corporation (which is a person!). It's all perfectly legal.
