How many "typical campaigns" pay people, including explicitly mentally ill people, to commit violent acts to give an impression that the other candidate is violent, will bring violence if elected, etc.? (Granted, that didn't come to light by emails, but they helped to confirm it.)

And speaking of violence, how many modern candidates for President have seriously desired to commit high collateral drone assassinations in 1st World countries of people who aren't exactly making war on the US per se, aren't even under any US indictment? As I say elsewhere, Julian Assange is no doubt resting a bit easier.

And maybe it's typical for one party to have the press as a nominally secret ally, to hand a candidate complete questions they'll be asked in an upcoming "debate" or the like, but exposing that was worth something, yeah?

Ditto that one party's wiring the nomination for a particular candidate, something that at least this time didn't happen at the same level, hello White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who's so establishment his name is all but a GOPe caricature, but who played fair with Trump as the head of the RNC. Ask DWS if it was worth it. Zach didn't exactly express that to her temporary successor.

And that's not even touching on the possibly traitorous criminal conspiracy of the foundations. Which I doubt Obama will pardon wholesale, and then we'll get to see if Trump truly wants to "drain the swamp".

You mean the heavily edited video that the group who did the so called 'expose' refused to release in full?

That was a joke. Hard to take you seriously when you make things up like that.

She won overwhelmingly, no 'wiring' required. There was a reason no one else challenged her.

AIDS drugs for africa? Yup, treasonous activity. Hint: You don't use a charity foundation as a front for 'traitorous criminal conspiracy.'(that sounds really bad, and clearly not a collection of ominous sounding words you threw together in lieu of a coherent thought)The clintons made their money through the paid speaking circuit. Why the hell would they launder money/favors through their foundation? (Hint: they didn't)

I mean the "heavily edited video" that, just, somehow, prompted the firing of the two idiots who said too much.

I didn't make up "Can't we just drone this guy", try looking at the results of this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=can%27t+we+just+drone+this+g... and see that the people she asked this of realized she wasn't joking. And that's not the sort of thing people should be joking about.

She won overwhelmingly, no 'wiring' required. There was a reason no one else challenged her.

If no wiring was needed, why did they do it anyway? Is the reason no one else challenged her the very fact that they knew about the wiring? There's absolutely no way this is pardonable unless you throw all all the efforts of the Progressives to end the era of "smoke filled rooms".
