We are the best at doing the right thing for the country and then have it used against us.

Clinton Impeachment..- Because of Ken Starr and his salacious report of a blow job, Democrats agreed to let the Independent Counsel lapse and created the Special Counsel which gave much less power to the Counsel to investigate and report. All so the country wasn't put through the disgusting display of the mid 90's again, and the DOJ would be less politicized. Sad thing is, it became worse! Republicans use it to hide real crimes of the admin from the citizens of this country, using our patriotism and love of our norms to be used against us again and again.

July 2016 The FBI decides they should publicly speak out about the wrongs of Hillary Clinton during an election year over a server she used for email. Then the FBI in late October of that same year tells Republicans in Congress that they are reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton, costing her the election, IMHO. An investigation that lasted 3 fucking days to clear her again! Fuck COMEY. Now the Republicans use that malfeasance as an excuse to limit the publics view of the Mueller report.

It's a fucking atrocity. And I am damn near sick about the double standards, never mind the fucking loss of fact and truth the public deserves to know.

I cannot be the only person in this country who can see this absolute double standard and the stomach churning irony of it all.

I am thinking republicans in the FBI are a real problem and politics is most at play when they are in charge.

Hillary still could have won if she had a smarter campaign but the FBI definitely hurt and the Trump machine has hamstrung the entire process. I share your nausea.

Hillary won three million more votes than the orange pimple DESPITE the FBI, the Media and Russia interfering and propping Dump up.

The letter from Comey cost her 3% points. It doesn't happen, she wins. If the recounts were allowed to take place, she wins.

Everyone knows that the election was stolen. Some people just can't get their hatred out of the way to admit it. She ran a brilliant campaign and was up against a treasonous cabal.
