The man who narrowly beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 (despite losing the popular vote by 3 million) just got indicted for mishandling classified documentsāthe crime the media spent the entire campaign speculating she may have done. (Spoiler: She didn't). #ButHerEmails
And let's be clear: Data shows Hillary was winning the 2016 election until Comey and the media decided the last 10 days of the election should be spent hyperventilating over her emails.
She lost based on wrong speculation she may have done what Trump was just indicted for doing.

Yes, there was Russia. Yes, there were misogynists on the left who wouldn't vote for her no matter what (but did vote for Biden).
But ultimately, the national media still hasn't reckoned with the disgusting way they covered the 2016 election. The media made Trump president.

Not 1 segment tonight on #lastword about the arrested former FBI agent who was behind the threat to leak the 2nd investigation into #butheremails which forced Comey to go public w the 2nd investigation right before the 2016 election. Same guy who said there was no collusionā¦
2/he was also working on the #muellerinvestigation
After his retirement, he worked w š·šŗ oligarch Oleg Deripaska, Sergey Shestakov, & a 3rd person to investigate a rival Russian oligarch in return for payments from Deripaska,& then tried to conceal Deripaskaās involvementā¦

The far left &far right are trying to pull the same shit on Carolyn Maloney like they did to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Reporting only on Maloneyās mistakes, helping the far left boost a third party outsider to split the vote- this playbook is very familiar. #NY12

Maloneyās work as chair of Oversight has led to uncovering very incriminating info about Trump- far more threatening than last yearās impeachment.
Sheās also gotten significant anti-money laundering bills passed into law, and sheās working on more financial transparency initiatives.
Sheās proven that she can produce real laws that result in uncovering illicit finance. Billionaires Row will have fewer places to hide.

If you have some time, read Chapter Five (page 71) of the IG report on how @Comey's FBI went about Hillary's emails. For example, the feds got "consent" to search "most" (not all Clinton devices).

What I didn't know until today is that the classified (including top secret) emails found in #ButHerEmails were only among the 30K+ emails handed over by Clinton's staff and not the 31K+ they deleted under claim that it was "personal."
Feds "Did not seek to obtain every device including those of Clintonās senior aides, or the contents of every email account... Reasons for not doing so were based on limitations the Midyear team imposed... [with] the desire to complete the investigation well before the election."

In a matter of 8 hours we went from "this isn't a raid and Garland didn't even know about it,"
to
"Of course GARLAND approved a RAID: We needed to save NUCLEAR DOCS from Trump!"
Soon they will say Biden was briefed due to the risk, but he deferred to DOJ "career officials."

2 of the charges against Roger Stone were about records to Congress. One direct; the other Obstruction. Those two could have been levied on Hillary and/or on all those directly involved in beach-cleaning servers after her records were subpoenaed by Congress.
yes: #ButHerEmails
yes: #ButHerEmails
Stone was raided. Trump was raided. Yet not #ButHerEmails @HillaryClinton which were i corruptly deleted and beach-cleaned after a subpoena by Congress. Imagine the pay-to-play crimes those emails contained that HRC & Co violated, apparently, multiple laws to dispose of them.
3/4 The #ButHerEmails likely contained pay-to-play involving Foundation/State Depo and ran afoul of Records Keeping and classified doc laws.
So you have
- corruption
- obstruction of Justice/Congress;
- records keeping
- Classified
All in one.
How many raids/indictments?

And STILL haven't. Sanders lost in a LANDSLIDE in 2016, but misogynist revisionism keeps reframing that FACT. In 2016 Sanders lost at the end of March. He just refused to leave. You insult 66M Hillary voters every time you re-write that historical fact.

In 2016 Sanders was crushed by his lack of outreach to black voters. A trillion #ButHerEmails articles subverted that fact about Sanders' run. This time the virus forced his hand. But the MSM that never laid a glove on Sanders in 2016 demanded his exit as the virus spread.
Pundits lauding Sanders for changing narratives never once lauded Hillary for shifting the entire American political system to FINALLY consider a woman. That she was wildly more qualified than Sanders didn't stop him from calling her unfit and unqualified.
thereās not a reporter in this country who would care/be asking abt Biden son if it werenāt for GOP smear campaign
