You know I just like messing with you. Of course there are instances in which it would benefit the public not to divulge the entire truth.

You are making a jumble of things. The policy was a bad one, but it was not entirely of her creation. As for the Benghazi affair, there was nothing she could have done to prevent it, and, unlike you, she is not omniscient and had no idea at the time exactly what was happening and why. There is nothing wrong with trying to explain a tragedy to the best of your knowledge; exploiting a tragedy for political advantage, as the Republicans have been doing, is callous.

See but I don't believe that a major foreign power acted in that capacity in the JFK assassination. I believe that was done from within the CIA.
Seeing as JFK was trying to actively prevent a nuclear holocaust from happening, I can't see why lying to the public about his murder would have done much to sway the other side.
Unless the other side (being Russia) saw the coup'detat from across the pond and thought to themselves "Hey! They're killing their own leaders, we had better stay the # away from them!" Or even better yet "Maybe we can learn a thing or two from them!"

Finally, a bit of genuinely cold wisdom. The issue here is to what degree Assange is actually trying to damage American security rather than simply presenting objective facts.

I know. Remember Kennedy? I think they killed him.
And Bobby Kennedy? Russians too.
I believe they had a hand in the death of Martin Luther King as well.
No strangers to murder, those Russians. Watch out, they'll spike your drink.

I explained to her the same people who killed JFK, that's who now works for Clinton.
I think it's more like the same people who had JFK killed, that's who Clinton works for now.

Isn't this guy wanted for rape? I find it hard to believe a fellow who is pretty much a fugitive from the law for crimes he's committed is being taken seriously. I mean really, the guy is a liar and a crook and how do you know he did not just fabricate everything right there in his moms basement or hide out or whatever?
Kind of strange where we are getting our information these days. Putin, Kim Jong un, this guy...come on.
We can do better than this.
Hillary Clinton apparently kept sending classified information over her personal email after leaving the State Department, according to documents obtained by the Republican National Committee.
Someone who has classified emails on her own server and NOT employed by the Govt?
Isn't that like instant jail?

It is illegal to have classified information on a unclassified server. That is the bottom line.
Definition of illegal: Something that breaks a law. Having classified information outside of its proper place of custody as mandated by NSA is in direct violation of several US laws.
But I do know the State Department allows all former SoS's to maintain a clearance. I would say that nothing much will come of it.
Why Clinton still has a clearance is a whole different thread. It should have been yanked months ago.
