There have been a few things written about how much Hillary Clinton’s email debacle has cost American taxpayers. The estimates range from what her buddy’s publication (Bloomberg) reports (millions) to $13M to $13,000 a day. But I think we can all agree her misdeeds cost the taxpayers millions. That is a forgone conclusion.
But when I keep hearing about the deleted “personal” emails of 33K+ I thought, “hummm, that is a lot of emails in her 48 month tenure as Secretary of State. But, then we all think, well, she is the Secretary of State and she is really busy saving the world from calamity. But, wait! These are not tied to her “saving the world” but PERSONL business as she has repeatedly said, “it had to do with yoga routines, family vacations, and plans for her daughter Chelsea's wedding.”
Well, doing personal business on company time? A lot of us would be in deep shite for doing similar if we were at work. But unlike most of us who don’t work for the government, it comes out of the company’s bottom line. But when you work for the U.S. Taxpayer, it comes out of our pockets. Not only does it cost in wasted payroll, but how much business of “saving the world” (or screwing it up) was wasted or missed? It would be interesting to see how many of these emails, (because there was a lot) were sent during a crisis (not the wrong frosting on a wedding cake type of crisis)?
So, I decided to set out in search of an answered based on Clinton’s own admission. So, here is the method to my madness: 33,000 emails in 4 years (which comes to 44 months as I subtracted 4 months of vacation in that time) or 528 weeks at 62.5 per week or 12.5 emails per day. As a former employer, I remember getting pissed at my employees for making personal calls at work. If you look at it in those terms (which they are just another form of communications), would we expect to be in deep shit if we were an employee always on the phone (1.5 personal calls an hour, every day) taking care of personal business…to the tune of 12 personal calls a day? Think about it. But with a salary of $186,000 a year…about $90.00 an hour, it cost the US taxpayer….
But remember, not only does it take time to write it, it takes time to formulate our thoughts, then writing it, sending it and then trying to remember if we said all that needed to be said. Then, if it is something important or disturbing (your husband in a hot tub with three babes), how well is our attention actually on our work? But unlike Mrs. Clinton, our loss of work focus isn’t going to cost lives, taking over the wrong country or giving money to terrorist organizations after a coup. It might be just missing an item in fulfilling an order or a line of code you will eventually recover.
So, while she was screwing around on personal emails, money for more protections for the consulate in Benghazi was denied, people there were killed, Syria got worse, ISIS begin, Iraq fell into chaos and Libya was overthrown leaving the Middle East in vacuum. But I bet the frosting on the Chelsea’s wedding cake was delicious!
That is a good one!
Dang, I was reading that part about Yoga and suddenly I imagined Hillary in yoga pants...
When you’re sec of state have NO “classified-at-the-time communications” or secure method of communicating you probably don’t have much work to do and can spend lots of time raising money for your other ventures.
At least I would expect most sec of state business to be done over a secure connection even if not classified and she didn’t have the means to do that so best she does as little work as possible.
If you can find someone to administer a dose of Versed (anesthetic), your short term memory should drop the horror of that image. Besides, how would Huma ever get that lard bottom into such pants?

Not to mention, Osama bin Laden was taken out, and very soon after, so was Seal Team Six!

bkmk
Please don’t use the word “screwing” when mentioning this criminal hag. The mind pictures are nauseating.

The cartoonist, Branco, has been a big help to our side! He was a guest on the hilarious Intellectual Froglegs show a couple of weeks ago:

How many of those emails had to do with things that were political in nature? I remember when they tried to bring Walker down because they thought he had made a political call or two on official time. There are laws against this.
