I'm not in the "Clinton was robbed" camp by any stretch of the imagination, but don't you think the parts above in bold are what make the most important difference. One is an American citizen acting out of the personal belief that his (at that point in time) actions will make his country better (or at least expose something which he believed the American people had to know), the other is a foreign government (and one that the US has had a rocky relationship with, to put it mildly) trying to influence the outcome of your election.

Regardless of the actual nature of the information leaked, isn't it obvious why the second one is much more concerning?

Beaten to the punch by Smoking (I think you mean "traitor" by the way, which I don't personally think she was. A whistleblower is a more apt description, imho).

Well, I've gone ahead and bought me and the gf tickets to TW Classic. At 91 euros a pop they were not hugely expensive, considering it's a festival and they're expected to announce another 5, 6 bands or so. I'm actually pretty stoked to see Slash and Axl sharing a stage for the first time ever .

I've raised this exact same point so many times, and the only arguments that seem to come up are of the "they are protecting my freedom to stop other people from doing with their bodies what they want" variety. Something about being a Christian nation, and it being about the protection of the "American way of life" or some other nonsense...

But that would imply he actually believes all that shit, and isn't just paying lip service to the millions of buffoons that got suckered into voting for him...
