The Republican party is pissed, and knew Clinton would most likely be the next Democratic candidate.

Let's face it here... Clinton was a "designed" candidate. "They" put her into specific positions which laid out a path directly to the Oval Office. (When I say "they" I do not mean the Democratic party, but more of Bill Clinton and his advisers.) They moved her into that Senate seat in NY, and then Secretary of State. It was obvious she was going to run for President. The Republican party trailed to stop her.

They tried to make her look bad with Benghazi, and I just don't get that. This was a terrorist attack we did not see coming, could not prevent, and there is nothing we could have done to change the outcome. Nine investigations all say the same thing - "no wrong doing". It's more of the same with the email servers - There is NO LAW that says you cannot send classified email via a private server. There just isn't. There is no law that says she cannot carry classified information to the ladies room with her, there is no law that she cannot carry classified information in her private car, and no law saying she cannot store classified information in a safe at her private residence.

And for a lot of people this makes the Republican party bad.

I was a hardcore Republican when I was younger, right until the Whitewater crap. That was pure bullshit. They went from an investigation on an investment to blow jobs in the Oval Office, putting President Clinton into the impossible position where he either lied under oath or exposed to his wife (and the rest of the world) he was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office. The two weren't even remotely connected, and in a court of law that normally would have been shut down quickly. There is a huge difference between doing your job and going on a witch hunt, which is what is happening here. These are obvious witch hunts. EVERYONE knew there was no wrong doing with Benhazi; This was a terrorist attack we did not see coming, couldn't prevent, and there was NOTHING we could have done - there is no way we could have gotten troops on the ground in under fifteen hours. It's the same with the email crap - there is no law that says you cannot send classified information via private server; In fact, this is common in our government - former secretaries of state have done it, and so have members of Congress (recently too!).

It's mind blowing that we have had nine investigations into one minor terrorist attack where a handful of Americans died, but we've only had one investigation into 9/11 where thousands died, the world changed, and we invaded a country over.
