Why don’t you give answers that aren’t bullshit for a change?

How’s that for a non-bullshit response?

Now that we’ve gotten that out of our systems, have a good day.

And by good day, I mean Fuck Off

Reines probably snapped about the time he realized he’ll never be WH Chief of Staff.

A bib is something a baby wears to keep him from getting drool and food all over his shirt.

Boy Bib = a lickspittle for the far left.

A perfectly appropriate screen name.

If you read the entire e-mail exchange, you know that the Buzzfeed guy was very reasonable.

This must be the New Civility. Either that, or Hillary’s guy knocked back a few too many at lunch.

Thanks, I did.

Those e-mails are unbelievable. Childish and immature. IMHO the State Department is lying and freaking out when being questioned.

Doesn’t Reines realize that e-mails are forever and writing to a reporter like this is just asking to have it blasted to the world?

Goodbye to Hillary’s chances of ever being President. If she ever thought of doing it again, things are torched now, quite literally.

I’ll take that as a non-denial denial.

All the best,

As was once said, “Never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.”

I’ve read that today’s equivalent is “Never pick a fight with someone who buys their bandwidth by the gigabyte.”
