They've got it bad, so bad for Hillary

Poll: Hillary Clinton’s image improves among democratic voters

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been losing ground in recent polls to challenger Bernie Sanders, is looked at more positively by members of her party after weeks of decreased support, a new poll found.

In the past two weeks, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents have increased their positive views of the former secretary of state. She now has a favorable rating of 73 percent and an unfavorable rating of 20 percent, according to a new Gallup Poll released Monday. Her overall net favorable score yielded +53.

Better than Trump's numbers, but it ain't over till it over.
 
They say Biden and Sanders are "close", but Sanders' net stands at +36 and they don't even show Biden's. That data geek in me will have to go right to the source.
 
I really hope Sanders crushes Hillary.....she's fucking evil incarnate.
 
Congress refused to fund the extra security they asked for. Investigate that.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said today that he voted to cut funding for U.S. embassy security amid political attacks from Republicans that the Obama administration did not do enough to secure the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya that was attacked last month.
Republicans and their allies have been trying to politicize the attack — which killed four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya — suggesting, without evidence, the Obama administration may have ignored intelligence that the attack was imminent, didn’t properly secure the Benghazi compound and is now trying to cover it up.
But hidden beneath the GOP campaign is the fact that House Republicans voted to cut nearly $300 million from the U.S. embassy security budget. When asked if he voted to cut the funds this morning on CNN, Chaffetz said, “Absolutely“:
O’BRIEN: Is it true that you voted to cut the funding for embassy security?
CHAFFETZ: Absolutely. Look, we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have — think about this — 15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, private army there for President Obama in Baghdad.
And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces? When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices how to prioritize this.
 
$6 billion was missing from State when CuntClinton was there

she could have used THAT money

besides, there is ALWAYS more $ available
 
Then why wouldn't Congress vote to give some of it where it was needed? Oh yeah, the lives of the folks in Benghazi were not a "priority" then, just as they are not a priority now.
 
the only folks in Ben Gazi now are terrorists

are we supposed to care about em?
 
Apologists making excuses for the Republicans in Congress. They are responsible for the 4 lives lost, not Clinton.

Also, McCarthy has ADMITTED this entire Benghazi "Investigation" is to make her look bad! Nothing more!!
 
And here's more evidence that this was just a witch hunt to discredit a presidential candidate

How much fucking longer do we have to put up with this partisan bullshit? It's wasting money.

And the GOP doesn't want to give SS recipients a COLA in 2016..FUCKING ASSHOLES!

To be fair, while the GOP would certainly be AGAINST giving out a raise to Social Security recipients, this time around it's because the cost of living hasn't gone up enough in the last year to trigger a raise. Blame the lower cost of gasoline for this, as it's a significant factor in the COLA calculation that's made independently of any political party.

The gas price is bullshit! Everything else has risen, but gas hasn't. The "price of gas falling" is a canard

What about the last 10 years where it hasn't gone up even close to the same rate as the cost of living?

Citation is needed on both of these claims.

Who else to target

There shouldn't be a target.

FBI Looking at ‘Gross Negligence’ Laws in Hillary Server Investigation Between Kevin McCarthy’s gaffe, the Benghazi committee staffer who complained the panel’s work was focused on Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders’ decision to declare he’s sick of hearing about her e-mails, the former Secretary of State might feel like she’s put the issue to bed.

The last major obstacle? The Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thanks to Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, we have our first sense of how the FBI investigation is shaping up: Three months after Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email address and server while secretary of state was referred to the FBI, an intelligence source familiar with the investigation tells Fox News that the team is now focused on whether there were violations of an Espionage Act subsection pertaining to “gross negligence” in the safekeeping of national defense information. Under 18 USC 793 subsection F, the information does not have to be classified to count as a violation.

The intelligence source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe, said the subsection requires the “lawful possession” of national defense information by a security clearance holder who “through gross negligence,” such as the use of an unsecure computer network, permits the material to be removed or abstracted from its proper, secure location. Subsection F also requires the clearance holder “to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer. “A failure to do so “shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” A former FBI agent, who is not involved in the case, said the inconsistent release of emails, with new documents coming to light from outside accounts, such as that of adviser Sidney Blumenthal, could constitute obstruction. In addition, Clinton’s March statement that there was no classified material on her private server has proven false, after more than 400 emails containing classified information were documented.

Does she skate? Ironically, Obama’s words that appeared to defend Hillary may be hindering her by irritating the FBI: “I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it was a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.” Those statements angered FBI agents who have been working for months to determine whether Ms. Clinton’s email setup had in fact put any of the nation’s secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials. Investigators have not reached any conclusions about whether the information on the server had been compromised or whether to recommend charges, according to the law enforcement officials. But to investigators, it sounded as if Mr. Obama had already decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing

. The White House quickly backed off the president’s remarks and said Mr. Obama was not trying to influence the investigation. But his comments spread quickly, raising the ire of officials who saw an instance of the president trying to influence the outcome of a continuing investigation — and not for the first time. “Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth and makes them fear that no matter what they find, the Justice Department will take the president’s signal and not bring a case,” said Ron Hosko, a former senior F.B.I. official who retired in 2014 and is now the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, who maintains close contact with current agents. Obviously, the FBI will follow the evidence wherever it leads and offer their assessment based on the law. But isn’t Obama actually making it harder for them to conclude all is well and no crimes were committed?

If they concur with the president’s assessment, they look like they knuckled under to political pressure. The easiest way to demonstrate that you’re immune from a president’s effort to steer the investigation away from Hillary is to do the opposite. Many people might conclude that there’s no way that the Department of Justice would bring criminal charges against the Democratic front-runner in an election year. But if you were the agents, wouldn’t you rather the DOJ took the heat for that conclusion than you?
