Excuse the gross negligence, please.    President Barack Obama's recent remarks to my Fox News colleague Chris Wallace about Hillary Clinton's email issues were either Machiavellian or dumb.

Hard Times For The Nixon Of The Democrats

by Wesley Pruden.  The wheel that goes around comes around, as life teaches us all, even Hillary Clinton.

And the Democrats are not.   What if Hillary Clinton is in legal hot water and she knows it but won't admit it? What if she has decided to go on the offensive and make her case that she did nothing unlawful with her emails that contained state secrets? What if the essence of her defense is that other secretaries of state used non-secure email devices    ... MORE
