Well, what do you expect from a REPUBLICAN official? Seems like the Repubs have a lot to answer for, to their constituents. Tea Party II???
I dream of one day when people could overlook their tribal mentality and see reality for what it is.....
Blue or Red makes no difference. The system is rotten to the core.
We've got a garden variety narcissist acting like a clown make-believe he's running "against" a neocon warmongering criminal who isn't accountable for anything she does.
Rome must have been a similar experience towards the end.

As Trump spoke at his rally here…his attacks on Clinton were especially popular, and one man in the crowd repeatedly shouted: “Hang that b—-!” A reporter for the local News and Observer tweeted that as Trump criticized President Obama, someone near him shouted: “He’s a monkey!”
Gosh, what could be motivating Trump’s supporters? It’s such a mystery.

"The previous administration was forthcoming with evidence, rather than stonewalling, made Libby go through indictment, trial and conviction, and then pardoned him"
There are multiple factual errors in the statement above. Who can pick them out?

Rome must have been a similar experience towards the end.
The Roman Republic ended when its citizens traded self-determination for prosperity and security. After that, the emperor was whoever controlled the loyalty of the armed forces. The empire lasted until Constantinople fell in 1452. I doubt the US will last that long, at least as we're going now.
Lorenzo, I think I stated my point obscurely. Had Bush pardoned Libby before prosecution (as Ford did Nixon, e.g.), there would have been no public record. This administration has been particularly non-forthcoming in providing evidence relating to both the email server (because Clinton, not the State Department, had the easiest records to obtain) and the IRS scandal (All the hard drives got erased? And we were upset 43 years ago about a 20 minute gap?) While there are legitimate explanations possible, those actions don't look like those of people who want the truth known. It's that perception of deceitfulness that they need to stop, or it will hurt her campaign. While I don't see how Trump can win, why give him opportunities for easy pot shots?

I'm sure Herr Braun would say "stupidity". I'd have to agree, but don't like to see that entering in on the Clinton side of the sideshow.

Libby stonewalled
That's why he was indicted, obstruction of justice
That's how these Republicans here talk, they forget all things that their side did and remember it some how different than the facts
then they compare their revised history to something that they are going ape over
like Benghazi
8000+ dead on Bush's watch, no concern,

Libby was thrown under the bus by Cheney. THAT is why he was indicted.

Wikipedia
Libby was indicted by a federal grand jury on five felony counts of making false statements to federal investigators, perjury for lying to a federal grand jury, and obstruction of justice for impeding the course of a federal grand jury investigation concerned with the possibly illegal leaking by government officials of the classified identity of a covert agent of the CIA, Valerie Plame Wilson, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV. Pursuant to the grand jury leak investigation, Libby was convicted on March 6, 2007, on four counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements. He was acquitted of one count of making false statements.
They don't say anything about Cheney, even though it was Cheney that outed Valerie Plane
