Well, most of the media don't want to get anywhere near this. So, I'm reduced to posting videos from places like The Young Turks...some sort of youtube news team. MSNBC hits on it from time to time and here is a very nice discussion from CSPAN:

Like the man says in the first video I posted in this thread, if Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump were being investigated by the FBI the media would be bashing us over the heads with that until they ran them out of the race.

For Hillary though, well, no big deal to be under investigation by the FBI while running for president.

No big deal that they have granted a guy immunity in this investigation...something they would not do unless they felt criminal charges were fairly inevitable.

No big deal that the crime Hillary committed was not some minor mistake but constituted a major dereliction of her duties the entire time she served as Secretary of State.

No big deal that as one of the few people in government that had the highest of security clearances that she, of all people, would have known better than to do this...did it anyway...FOR THE ENTIRE TIME SHE SERVED IN THE POSITION.

No big deal that she was one of the people in our government while serving as Secretary of State that was responsible for making sure something like this did not happen...and instead she made it happen.

No big deal that a key component of doing this was it made her activities and correspondence unavailable to FOIA requests...so much for transparency in government.

No big deal that her "excuses" for doing this are "Well, a couple of other people sent some emails using their personal email a few times." and "Nobody told me I couldn't do it." and "I wanted to use my blackberry."

No big deal that she deleted 30,000 of her emails that SHE deemed "unimportant" to this investigation...which also constitutes a crime.

No big deal that the reason ALL of her emails were supposed to be archived was to make sure she did not use her position to benefit her family, friends, associates, donors, or herself. Or to arrange for channeling cash to her foundations.

No big deal that this is exactly the kind of thing we should be looking to avoid and prevent in Washington DC but instead this person is most likely the next president of the United States.

Nah, it's Hillary Clinton so, we should just ignore this.

If this were Bush, Cheney, Sanders, Trump...hell, anybody else...the media would be merciless with this story and rightly so.
