    That one might be Hillary's biggest lie.

    None of which removes the million warts from Hillary.

    All right, yeah, that's a lie, and something of a whopper at that.

    Just where does he stand in this "very competitive field"? He's not a significant player in the New York real estate game. There are developers who far more effectively make money and many of them do it without much fanfare. He's driven more than a few businesses into the ground, cheating other business out of being paid for goods and services along the way. His greatest achievement seems to be not quite losing all of the wealth given to him by his father.

    I think that other folks don't know what Trump is up to because he doesn't really now what he's up to.

    The latest example of Trump being handed lemonade that he managed to make into lemons is his response to the FBI statement about Hillary Clinton's email server. He was given a gift in that Comey condemned the use of the server in very harsh terms, even though he said there would be no indictment.

    So, what does Trump do? He goes off about how Saddam Hussein was a warrior against terrorism, distracting almost everyone from what should have been the central message (Which is, in case everyone has forgotten, that arrogance once again led Hillary Clinton screwed up big time).

    Hillary Clinton is a vary flawed candidate.

    Donald Trump is a carnival barker who doesn't know when to stop barking.

    A statement like this is exactly what is wrong with the political process today. You will excuse anything that Hillary does. Anything.

    Lots of information was shared that was classified at the time it was sent and/or received.

    A small number -- but not zero -- was marked.

    Markings are not necessary when you know the subject matter is classified.

    From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.
    ...
    With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level. There were no additional Top Secret e-mails found. Finally, none of those we found have since been “up-classified.”
    ..
    For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).

    None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.

    Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified information. Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.

    Both sides are guilty of it. You blindly defend your team as much as Baron does.

    Hillary hitting Trump on his business record. Yup, he should have gotten rich via corruption, instead. It worked for her.
