Getting back to the Clinton Email resolution

I’m sure it won’t go away.  It never does.  Nothing new.  Political parties have been going after each other since the beginning of political parties.  The fact is, the FBI rendered its verdict and the justice department has concurred.  Hillary Clinton might have been smack down stupid and ignorant of national security concerns beyond what an average person can imagine, but she’s no criminal.  A fool perhaps.  A person lacking a common sense understanding of caution towards sensitive information maybe.  I’ve worked for companies that would fire you on the spot for what she did, whether intentional or not.  But she’s not a criminal.

While many supporters hoped the headlines “Clinton Exonerated!” would put it to rest, even Americans with our ‘here today, gone later today’ attention spans took time to ponder the conclusions.  Resting on ‘unimaginably ignorant’ rather than ‘guilty’ seems a tough sell.  Especially when she’s running as the most qualified person to hold the office.

This week’s tragic events have taken some of the focus away from the dismal conclusions.  Nonetheless, people are still scratching their heads.  Are we sure we want a president who was only monumentally careless, if not downright stupid, when it comes to classified documents?  It speaks volumes when you’re running against a candidate like Donald Trump, yet you struggle to keep the polls out of the margin of error.  Perhaps America isn’t beyond hope after all.
