Till convicted in a court of law and not in a partisan news show everybody is innocent. Time and time again we have heard of epic scandals that amount to nothing. But viewers cannot let it go and they believe conspiracies are happening. Trump is riding this wave as the Republican candidate to run for president. Outrageous statements, promises he can’t keep, and attacks to hide his weaknesses if President. Time to forget Party allegiance and vote for the most qualified to be President. The rest of the World is watching America going down the drain, when a candidate talks about the size of a man’s hand in relation to other body parts. Our Country is on its way back, no wars, economy is moving, unemployment at lowest in 50 years, we don’t need wrench thrown into the mix. Numbers and Facts don’t lie! Check out the promises made and the cost and damage they can due. The wall, the deportation of 13 million illegal immigrants, bombing of ISIS and their relatives, taking control of their oil fields, and taking on China over currency. It’s our Country do the research and don’t believe what is said by anyone. It is up to us.

Faux folks are flat out liars !

@ Claudia Johnson

Ran out of meds ?
That is one of the most phenomenally ignorant political comment I have ever seen on the intertubes. Or just plain crazy. Vote for Hillary if you want to live under communism ?! Wow! Just wow!

Sure thing Debra. So this means that you also think that the W. Bush administration should have had more people prosecuted for deliberately leaking the information about Valerie Plame, right? And you’re also calling for investigations into the conduct of Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice as well?

Seems to me Geraldo thinks like a 6 year old defending mommy. How can anyone defend a person who is so careless with state secrets regardless of the reason.

I’m going to disagree that there is any need to keep asking and re-asking the same questions about Benghazi and the emails. Fox News may want to keep dredging that stuff up, but these are questions that have already been asked and answered. Hillary Clinton answering the same question again for the 100th time will not clear the air. It just muddies the water again, and helps Fox News continue the narrative that she’s somehow lying about either matter.

I say this not as a particular fan of hers, but the agenda of Fox News is pretty obvious here.

I was also amused to hear that Fox News is shocked, shocked that Democrat candidates have no intention of appearing on Fox News for a debate. One can only imagine the kind of nastiness they’d encounter. The response is something along the lines of “life’s too short”…

The good news is Pirro is a loud-mouthed nimrod on Fox News. Can you imagine her as a judge where the nutjob would truly be destructive?

Yeah, I’m a bit of a “Fox & Friends” addict in the morning so I caught this childish and pitiful exchange. When liberals need registered Republican Geraldo to defend Hillary and the Obama administration you know you’re in trouble!

Benghazi/Email-gate. Yeah, you can understand the “Fox & Friends” hysteria over these because they’ve been a Fox News obsession. Right-wingers think they’re slam-dunk means of sinking Hillary. And, hey, they’re right! The rest of the ‘lib’ corporate media has picked up their narrative and her trust numbers have plummeted.

Even liberals are buying this narrative and I’ve seen some interviewed who are fleeing to Bernie because they don’t see her as trustworthy. Polls of Democrats back this up.

All that said, “Fox & Friends” is correct and the PBS moderators should have asked the question. Not for Fox’s partisan reason they’re convinced it will embarrass Hillary publicly. Separately, PBS “News Hour” interviewed Hillary and discussed the entire trust issue and he’s quite prepared and articulate in addressing it. IMHO, the question would cleared the air and helped her.

Speaking fees. Certainly, businesses pay Bill and Hillary lots of money to speak. The same reason they contribute to most of the candidates. Certainly they hope for access and influence plus they support those they suppose will be compatible with their goals.

Those who don’t? Trump is rich and doesn’t need the money. To his credit, Bernie doesn’t. If you’re a single-issue voter, hey, one of the two is for you.

That said, Fox News plays the role of hypocrite because they’ve said if any Republican were getting the same speaking fees they’d be fine with it.

IMHO, Hillary has the best vision for dealing with preventing a future meltdown while keeping our financial institutions competitive internationally. Bernie would destroy their competitiveness. The Republicans want varying degrees of laissez faire so we can relive another meltdown.

I don’t see the proof that Hillary is corrupt and in their pockets. Any politician, including Bernie, is influenced be less than noble things at times.

Sorry for the epistle, folks. ;^)

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I assume the 4 against 1 discussion went from Geraldo making his comment to 4 clucking hens pecking his eyes out.

Hillary Clinton and her husband should have been in jail years ago. They are serial killers run amok. Scandal after scandal.Bill balanced the budget by cutting half of our Military. That’s his only claim to fame. If you want to live under Communism vote for Hillary. If you want to live under Socialism vote for Bernie. Either way you won’t be able to own property or run your own business. You will work for the govt and be taxed into oblivion to pay for abortions, welfare, education, health care of others. How has it worked for Russia, Cuba, South America, China. Good grief why do you think people risk their lives to get to America and freedom. We are the last place to live free and these idiots want to take us down the road to hell.

“Watch what happens”? The other 4 shout and talk over him so his message is half heard. Happens all the time on Fox.

Geraldo got her to uncross her legs.

Every now and then, Geraldo wakes up and remembers how ridiculous it is to work at Fox “news”. The only thing surprising about this was seeing Right-wing blowup doll Pirro smiling. I thought with all the botox treatments and 100PSI inflated lips, that precluded her from smiling that creepy, creepy smile.

well

Geraldo is correct to note what he has here. Of course, he’s not discussing the real reasons behind Fox News’ constant desperate harping on anything they can find that might look like a scandal.

The obvious major reason is to try to smear Hillary Clinton with the stink of scandal. The reality that there was no illegal activity by her in regards to Benghazi or her email server is irrelevant to the right wing. If they can make average voters THINK that there is something fishy about her, whether or not there is any truth to it, then they might be able to swing some independent votes their way – or at least discourage those people from voting for her. And if these efforts fail, as they are almost certain to fail, then the right wing can try to paint a Hillary Clinton presidency as scandal-plagued even before she can take the oath of office. Where they pre-announced their campaign meme of saying that President Obama was a failure before he even got into the building, this time they’d be pre-announcing their 2018 and 2020 campaigns about how nobody can trust Hillary.

There’s another reason right behind the first – that being to try to muddy the waters of history when it comes to scandals in presidential administrations. Given that three of the last major GOP presidencies (Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush) were in fact riddled with criminality and prosecutions, it’s understandable that they’d try to find something to point at during the Dem presidencies. With Bill Clinton, they first tried to accuse him of sexual deviancy including rape, then they switched up to real estate fraud and insider dealings, and then had the independent prosecutor on the hunt for ANYTHING – which finally bore fruit when Clinton got caught with Lewinsky. None of this was particularly serious criminal activity, but it was just salacious enough to let the right wing get on their moral high horse. (Even if they were being hypocritical in the extreme by doing so…)

With Barack Obama, it seems that the right wing has been in overdrive from the beginning, frantically looking for something, anything they could use as a legal cudgel. And again, part of this is coming from the fact that Bush’s Attorney General was forced out of office in disgrace and his VP’s Chief of Staff was convicted of felonies while trying to obstruct an investigation into the Joe Wilson situation. So what do we get under Obama? False piety about Operation Wide Receiver/Fast & Furious, where the right wing hides behind the body of a fallen Border Patrol agent to try to smear Eric Holder and the president. False piety about Joe Sestak and a conversation he had with Bill Clinton. False piety about the IRS and its filing methods. False piety about an embassy consulate attack in the middle of a serious moment of instability in Libya, when they never expressed such concern during similar attacks under the W. Bush presidency.

And now false piety about where Hillary Clinton stored her email. Email that was encrypted. Email that was not by any account leaked to anyone. And yet we hear right wing media folks constantly trying to beat a drum of “she’s about to be indicted!” We hear right wing media trying to imply that Clinton’s email server somehow placed intelligence agents’ identities and lives in danger. Which is a hilarious and brazen attempt to ignore the very real leak that happened under W. Bush. I tried to discuss this with a right wing friend just yesterday, when he raised this very issue, and he refused to acknowledge that the two situations have anything in common. In other words, it’s all very good for the right wing to ignore a real leak that endangered people’s lives, while harping on a non-problematic situation that doesn’t appear to have impacted anyone.

It’s interesting that the right wing is continuing to hammer on this, given that they declared Hillary Clinton’s candidacy dead on Tuesday night. I don’t think I’ve seen Hannity as happy as he was when he declared Tuesday night a “total disaster” for Clinton (never mind how many delegates she has, or that she knew well in advance that Sanders was going to win NH). Frankly, that was the same language that the right wing used when Clinton won Iowa the week before, including the phrase “total disaster”. If her campaign is so completely dead, then why is the right wing still harping on these smear attempts? Shouldn’t they be spending their time attacking Bernie Sanders, since they think he’s about to get the nomination?

Or could it be, maybe, that Fox News is just enjoying the activity of throwing mud at Hillary Clinton whenever, wherever and however they can? That they know she’s likely to be the nominee and they’re trying to smear the heck out of her early and often? It couldn’t be that simple, could it?

Geraldo may get a pass on this one, but he’s just as much of a FOXBOT as the rest of ‘em. Don’t ever fool yourselves, it’s all about the ratings and all about the Benjamins.

Every now and then, Geraldo will do something like this — surprise you with stubbornness. That Pirro women is nuts. When Steve Doocy is the calm one, you know things are weird.
