The Rude Pundit - Not Giving a Shit About the Clinton Email "Scandal"
There's a sentence from a Los Angeles Times column titled, "Why Clinton's email problem won't go away" that's so ironic and so galling that it ought to be put on a poster in every media outlet. Here it is: "It's difficult to avoid the suspicion that Clinton, after the scandals that rocked her husband's presidency during the 1990s, simply did not want to leave behind a paper trail (or e-trail)."
Context is everything, dear children, and the writer, John Schindler (a dick pic-sending right wing assmunch), is leaving out a huge part of the story. See, all those "scandals," Travelgate and Filegate and Whitewater, were utter bullshit. They were worthless wastes of time and money by Republicans (and cowardly Democrats), and their only purpose was to isolate, degrade, and destroy the presidency of Bill Clinton, that hick punk who thought he could just saunter in and lead the nation. If they also took down his bitch wife who thought she was smart enough to solve the health care crisis, all the better. If not them, then any collateral damage of their friends and associates was just dandy.
The only thing that approached an actual, real "scandal" was Clinton lying under oath about getting blowjobs and cigar-banging an intern in the Oval Office. That came out of the Whitewater investigation and it had jackshit to do with the presumably shady land deal in Arkansas. The entire impeachment saga was because of a tangential question and, ultimately, it was the same giant trash pile that every other fake "scandal" was.
While most of the public didn't give a single fuck about the Clinton scandals, the Republican base and the party's donors loved it. They gobbled it down like it was jizz from Jesus's own dick. And conservatives across the country pretended that the United States was being victimized by the immoral bimbo fucker and his castrating spouse. God, how they made bank on it all, how evangelicals lied openly about the sinful, adulterous, murdering, raping, drug-using Clintons. It was a goddamned carnival of molesting clowns and shiv-wielding carnies. And press outlets just jumped on the rickety scandal roller coaster because the GOP had bitch-slapped them into believing the "liberal media" canard. "We'll show you how we're not liberals," they announced. "Please, tell us more about missing Rose Law Firm documents and we'll act as if the fate of the entire motherfucking republic depends on it."
We have been a pathetic fucking country for a very long time.
Which gets us to the scandal du jour, the inevitable digging up of something, anything, to sew onto Hillary Clinton's clothes. The scarlet "B" for Benghazi wasn't holding. But, oh, happy fortune, the bullshit investigation yielded the info on the private email server, and the Clinton Industrial Complex went back into high gear. Let's get the "E" out there.
When the Rude Pundit first heard of the private email server issue, his initial thought was "Oh, c'mon" because he knew what was coming. But the one part that's been left out of the story of why Clinton used the home server (which was not fucking against the law) for her State Department emails when she was Secretary of State is the complicity of the Republican Party and the media in making Clinton so paranoid that she felt she had to do so.
Of course, she was going to do anything to keep her communications out of the public eye. Of course, she was going to make life complicated for any congressional investigations. Why the fuck wouldn't she? What the hell did she get the first time around? A discussion about her husband's dick on the floor of the House of Representatives. An accusation that she had a friend murdered. Why wouldn't she just say, "Go fuck yourselves"? In fact, she should have said that at the beginning of this. She should have said, "Well, no shit I used my own server."
Frankly, Hillary Clinton's pretty goddamn fearless to be putting herself through what was going to be an inevitable slog through the GOP fake scandal swamp.
Note: None of this excuses Clinton if she committed any real crimes (and not just violating the "spirit" of the law, which everyone does every day in many, many ways without being dragged through piles of dog shit for it). But, so far, sorry, she hasn't. Offering unsatisfactory explanations for one's actions is not illegal.

dozens of recs right off the bat. Huumm, makes ya wonder, doesn't it?
What's different about this offering compared to all of his others? Let me see.....
Oh yeah, it could conceivably be construed as favorable to Hillary Rodham Clinton. 
No need to look any further for an explanation. There you have it.
And not just say what he means straight out?

This Hillary email scnadal is made up bull shit from the same people who brought us Whitewater
and Swiftboats for truth. And our "liberal media" is helping to push this bull crap 24/7 too.

Just amazing. Botany!
I was right in the middle of "the belly of the beast" in Ohio 2004 I saw "it" w/my
own eyes and heard "it" w/my own ears and was driven just about crazy when
nothing happened and bush and Cheney got their 2nd term.
I went to one post election meeting where hundreds of people stood up and all told
their election horror stories ..... votes flipping on machines, phone lines hacked, people
being denied absentee ballots, "the mighty texas strike force," people being dropped from
voter rolls, and tons of other stuff we had local and national media at that meeting
and it got almost no coverage.
We had life long republicans coming to Kerry's HQs and to volunteer because they
said this country couldn't stand anymore of bush and company. We had calls from
a naval ship in the middle east and troops in Iraq wanting to make sure that vote was
counted because everybody hated bush but in the end the troops voted on electronic
machines and KBR handled the votes.
Kerry kicked bush ass in Ohio but things happened: screen captures election night 2004
