So, are the new emails nothing to get excited about or a game changer? Is Hillary so far ahead in the polls that nothing can halt her coming coronation or is her arrest imminent? I've read around and it's very hard to find a commentator or political insider who's not furiously grinding an axe. If there is a writer out there who is both well-informed about US politics but also godlike in their impartiality I'd love to be pointed in their direction.

I wouldn't call Craig Murray godlike or indeed impartial, but he is well-informed, and he tends to come at things from a different angle: here's his contribution to this particular debate.

Pretty much the way I see it. I will either vote Libertarian or, with extreme reluctance, vote for Clinton. I would prefer a corrupt but sane president to a corrupt and crazy president. Putin would play a President Trump like a violin.

Still not clear why people think she's corrupt.

The deleted email thing, for instance: what do you do after you read an email? She deleted them if she was done with them. You're not supposed to do that as Sec'ty of State, but she was already in the habit from the rest of her life.

There's an LJ feed at [livejournal.com profile] craig_murray, if that's any help...

Thanks, yes, that's very handy. I've gone ahead and friended him.
