The people that need to see her saying it with her own lips won't get the opportunity.

Those people need to learn to do some research to better inform themselves, rather than taking what they are fed at face value.

You have to admit that today is a soundbite age more than ever.
Do don't expect to teach an infant by dropping an encyclopedia on its head.

Agreed. It appears that Mills is trying to protect herself from the Right Wing soundbite loons.

What office is she running for?
Protecting herself?

You don't have to run for office to be wise enough to protect yourself against being used as a political tool by the opposition.

And the left-wing thugs that will trash her as well for anything she says that might damage them. Nobody in this race is more than a rat IMO.

Like I said, apparently she is not worried about the Left.

Then why has the left-wing also made a FOIA request for the same thing?

I didn't know anyone on the Left had. Have a link?

Then, they can immediately correct any falsities and use THAT fact to add fuel to their own fires?

It wont matter. What are you not understanding? The people that use JW and the Right Wing nut sites will not give a rats ass about context. They just want blood and nothing else matters.

Sorry, it should read, "Then why has the left-wing also NOT made a FOIA request for the same thing?"

Simple typo on my part, apologies for the confusion.

Sure. Why haven't they? Until that is answered, she is trying to protect herself in the meantime from a group known for taking things out of context to serve an agenda.

Honestly, this should be a non-partisan issue. I would expect anyone to protect themselves like this if they were dealing with unsavory people.

You mean both political parties in that statement, right? Both left and right do this, and will never stop. At least admit that honestly.

Yes, but I doubt she is worried about the Left. The Left is most likely on her side.

Until it is not in their best interest to be, then she will feel their wrath as well. Please do not be naive and think the left would not sacrifice anyone for "the cause" as much as the right.

It takes place out of court, but its still a court proceeding... Anyway, the point is, it's going to look really bad.

That is true. She does not want JW or other outlets to use audio/visual in a way that would adversely affect Clinton's campaign.

In that aspect, I believe she is right.

Again, she does not appear to be afraid of the Left. She is afraid of what JW will do with the audio/visual.

That is the topic of the OP.

Who cares how it looks? I'd rather look at the entire thing in it's proper context. To many, their minds are already made up, regardless of what she says in the deposition. Those are the people that care how it "looks".

a reply to: introvert

Its not just about the right wing media spin, its about the impact an audio/visual testimony will have on the electorate. This is a last ditch effort to keep the story buried.

a reply to: introvert

Who cares how it looks?

Hilary Clinton.

a reply to: 0hlord

It's going to be made public anyway. How is that trying to bury the story? She is just asking that audio/visual not be allowed to squash the Right Wing propagandists in their place.

You guys are making a big deal out of something very small.

Ironically, the way you guys are approaching this issue proves that she has a legitimate concern.

a reply to: introvert

I am thinking that they needed to pull a hit on the IG before the report was written, if they wanted damage control.
That report is damaging.

And the Right Wing nutters. Can't forget about them.

They don't care about context. They care about how it "looks".

Not really. I've read quite a bit and there was nothing earth shattering in it. The only thing we really learned is that the SD has a history of being lazy on their regulations. That includes past and current SoS's.

IG busts Clinton lies... thread

a reply to: introvert

Yeah, a request for suppression of testimony from the "administration of transparency". Wasn't that one of the political platforms during the last election, and the election before?
