Should Bill Clinton ask for email records of FBI agents that were investigating Monicagate?

Should Nixon have asked for letters exchanged between any of the FBI agents that were investigating the Watergate break in, in an attempt to discredit the investigators?

The big elephant in the room here is the allegation (with substantial evidence) that Trump and his team have illegally conspired and coordinated with Russian agents in schemes to influence US elections. They have violated multiple statues in doing so. Not only that, Trump has obstructed justice multiple times--one big example being his firing of FBI director James Comey for not shutting down the investigation of this matter.

All the noise about text exchanges between two FBI agents is just that. Noise. The investigation involves 10's of FBI agents at multiple locations and this noise is just to distract from the pile of evidence of wrong doing that Mueller and team are looking at.

of course, if they investigate hillary *more* on something, then that's because hillary's crooked, of course, and that's totally appropriate.

though they had way more on Trump even then. Guess Trump's wide ranging acts of corruption and collusion was harder to package in a press release than "Her emails!!1!"

It's illegal to be anything but Republican.
They'd deport us all if they could, just like...
their political idols.

I listen to hate radio for few minutes everyday while driving just to see what the latest BS is that is being fed to their gullible listeners.
Their mind set is you either have to be a blind supporter of Trump or you are a foreigner that is squatting on their land called America.
A mind set that the Nazis had for the 1930's Germany.

and had to race out of Europe just in time.
Even though she's been a Republican most of her long life,
their language and actions are way too familiar and
are really scaring here. I try not to say, I told you so, Mom... too much.
We should all be very concerned. And vote them away...
economically, socially and politically.

her father was a die-hard republican all his life. never could understand it.

virtually all our extended family is either very liberal or extremely liberal

the only exceptions are my younger brother and my mother's father.

interestingly enough, they also share mental illness (bipolar paranoid schizophrenia), although my grandfather was never formally diagnosed (but we all knew).

go figure.

honestly it's bizarre how far off the deep end many of these right-wingers are.

they think anything good the government does is a stone's throw away from oppressive dictatorship, and preventing that is so important that they feel the appropriate response is to in fact create an oppressive dictatorship to make sure it doesn't happen.

surreal.

Oh, the images in my mind! I know it's just a typo--but, it's a funny one.

is said to be investigating Hillary and the Clinton Foundation now. I'd like to see all their E-mails and text messages. If one of them said something bad about Hillary Democrats should insist that the investigation be halted.
