Hillary, you are good at it, and you are the epitome of public corruption. The fix . Your friend barack obama in april 2016 there was no malicious intent on your part to expose our classified documents. Shortly thereafter the Washington Post mimics obama saying there is no malicious intend and our secrets were never in danger. And weeks before 17 witnesses and the target herself are questioned, jim comey writes an exoneration of you as a criminal target using the same words. Except malicious intent is not an element of the crime, folks. And anyone who tells you that a prosecutor drafts an Exoneration Memo of the target before the investigation is complete has
