It's against the rules here to fling 'astroturfing' and 'shill' around without evidence, so please don't do that.

Sorry, I thought it was common knowledge that people associated with her campaign were engaging in this type of activity: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/21/hillary-pac... .

I'd look hard at the logs, it certainly feels suspicious to me, although admittedly I haven't seen any commentator action suggesting anything other than a flagging campaign.

The record correctors are quick to point out that you aren't allowed to identify them, its part of the script they get whether or not its really a rule here.

why would a pro-hillary group flag a story on here that says she's not guilty of crimes (or at least that charges won't be pursued due to the actions not warranting criminal prosecution)?

I'm literally in disbelief about how people think it's Hillary trying to hide these discussions. Liberal media, indeed...

This story shows how clinton is a liar. The lies started with "the personal server was only used for personal communications", when that was found to be a lie it changed to "no classified info was ever on the server", and when that lie was found out it was changed to "the only classified info was retroactively classified", and when that was found out to be a lie, it just went on and on until everything the most cynical observer alleged turned out to be true.
