The Republicans accused Clinton of mishandling classified information. So what happened? Are the Republicans making false accusations??

It appears doubting Thomas has doctored the quote from the Fox article. There is nothing about Clinton being arrested. I do not know if the doctored quote is deranged wishful thinking or a cheap attack on Fox. I do not like Fox but it is not what the title of this thread would indicate.

DT also doesn't know the definition of "breaking news."

The article is over 2 years old.

ETA: Looks like Lemmie just addressed that.

So Trump thinks special prosecutors should investigate wrongdoing by political figures?

As did you! Sometimes I wonder if DT is some brilliant child, playing with us all with his apparent cluelessness. Or maybe he's so old 2016 is indistinguishable from NOW. In any case, it reminds me of a Deputy Dewey quote:

Deputy Dewey, from Scream 2:

How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isn't merely a subtle form of manipulation, used to lower people's expectations, thereby enhancing my ability to effectively manuever within any given situation?

Man... that is a great articulation of something I suspect rather often (not of DT specifically... just among posters generally).

The more I consider it, the more I think there's a fine line between lying and being wrong. Isn't being wrong about facts kind of lying to yourself?

I don’t think so, Schmo. If lying is equated to being wrong, then why would lying be a bad thing?

I wouldn't equate them. There's certainly not the same underlying intent.

It's just the social climate we're in often makes it hard to distinguish between when someone is lying and is flat out wrong. The lines are being blurred.

Someone can be misinformed and, absent other relevant facts, believe it. There's nothing specifically wrong with that (except on the people doing the misinforming). It's how people react when confronted with compelling counter-evidence showing the facts that matters. That's where the lie either will or will not take place.

Dear DoubtingThomas:

Why did you type the words "Hillary Clinton is arrested" into your thread title when the article itself says no such thing?
