Because in addition to being corrupt liars, utterly indifferent to national security, she and her team are incompetent dolts. But that shouldn’t be news to anyone who’s been paying attention for the past quarter century. Which is unfortunately far too many people.
Is there any point at which the Democrats finally come to realize that she and they just aren’t up to the job? They can’t even do a decent cover up.
An email that requests that the State Department “take care” of a Clinton Foundation donor. And surprise, surprise! Hillary didn’t turn over all of the emails discussing interactions between State and foundation donors.
More from Mark Tapscott. Can there be any doubt, at this point, why she set up the personal server?

Hillary’s pay-for-play scheme at the State Department. No one who paid any attention in the 90s would be surprised by any of this, when they peddled the White House for donations. Just ask Johnny Chung.
A federal court has ruled that it’s probably still targeting conservatives (my phrasing, but it’s the way to bet). Well, why wouldn’t they continue? No one has suffered any adverse consequences from it.

Thoughts from Walter Olson.
I really don’t know if she really believes this, or if it’s the usual lies and spin. But no, “lack of sufficient evidence to prosecute is not “declared innocent.” I’ve been railing about this lying tactic of Clinton defenders for years, and as recently as last year.
[Thursday-morning update]
The ultimate media priviege: Hillary’s lies and corruption versus Trump’s mouth.
The administration has an on-line guide to how to avoid deportation.
Part of defending the Constitution is upholding the law that flows from it, as ruled by the courts (and the courts of ruled against the administration’s lawlessness on this issue). This is exactly the opposite, and should be an impeachable offense against Lynch, if not Obama himself, but the Congress continues to lack feck.

The ATF is illegally hoarding gun owners personal information.
Tar. Feathers.
FWIW Daily Kos says that absent fraud, he would have won by a landslide. Of course, absent fraud, including weaponizing the IRS against the Tea Party, Obama would have lost to Romney.

“Hey, Bernie supporters, you poor saps never had a chance.” Well, everyone tried to tell them. The Democrats are a massive racist organized-crime syndicate masquerading as a political party.
As Glenn asks, has there ever before been a convention in which the attendees demanded that the nominee be jailed?
And Jill Stein: “The scary things, the horrific things that Donald Trump says, Hillary Clinton has already done. Whether it’s massively deporting immigrants, whether it’s threatening nuclear warfare…”
Proud, Democrats?
Why won’t they comply with the Congressional Review Act?
Because like the rest of this administration, they’re corrupt lying political hacks who think they’re above the law.

Related: If you think that the bureaucracy is the bulwark against tyranny, you should support Donald Trump:
…the bureaucrats — allied with the press, of course — will do more to check misbehavior by Trump than they’ll ever conceivably do to check misbehavior by Hillary. And certainly much more than they’ve done with Obama, who has weaponized the IRS, the EPA, the Department of Justice, and a host of other federal agencies, all the way down to the Park Service, with barely a peep from within the bureaucracy.
So what people worry about with Trump has already happened under Obama. And that’s part of the problem. Obama broke down and devalued a lot of political traditions in this country, to very little objection from the parts of the political class that matter. That opened up a hole for Trump. My main positive expectation for a Trump presidency is that he will remind people of why those political traditions were important.
They only think they’re important when a Republican, even a faux Republican like Trump, is in the White House. Trump also has the potential to arouse Congress to finally exercise and defend its own prerogatives. The Founders didn’t put in the impeachment power with the idea it would never be used.
No, there’s nothing “strange” about them. It’s straightforward destruction of evidence, for which this administration is determined to let her skate.
[Update early afternoon]
Hillary, the Democrats and the problem of trust:
…if you think promoting trust in government is important, you should nominate someone trustworthy. But there are other priorities, apparently, and they outweigh that trustworthiness, or we’d have different nominees.
The other way you promote trust is through transparency and accountability. Voters should be able to tell what politicians and bureaucrats are doing, and when those politicians and bureaucrats do wrong they should face real consequences. We’re not doing very well on that front either.
No, we’re not.

The FBI agents involved with the probe had to sign special secrecy agreements. Gee, this doesn’t look like the fix was in to let her of the hook and they were worried about leaks at all.
He finally faces the Galactic Code of Military Justice.
