Hillary: "It's a vast left wing conspiracy!"

Sheesh. Seems like there's one around every corner.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCollough wrote a letter to to senior lawmakers in Congress informing them that "several dozen" Hillary Clinton emails stored on her pathetic private non-secure server contained information known as "Special Access Programs", which is regarded even above Top Secret.

Hillary now is whining about this being a vast conspiracy:

WASHINGTON

Hillary Clinton's spokesman accused the Intelligence Community Inspector General Wednesday of working with Republicans to attack the Democratic presidential front-runner.

"I think this was a very coordinated leak," Brian Fallon said on CNN. "Two months ago there was a...report that directly challenged the finding of this inspector general, and I don't think he liked that very much. So I think that he put two Republican senators up to sending him a letter so that he would have an excuse to resurface the same allegations he made back in the summer that have been discredited."

The comments came after Inspector General Charles McCullough III told senators that he believes at least several dozen of emails Clinton sent and received while she was secretary of state contained classified material at the highest levels, according to a letter obtained by McClatchy.

Surely it's got to be a a vast right conspiracy, right? Uh, no.

McCullough was nominated by President President Barack Obama in August 2011 to be the first inspector general for the 16 intelligence agencies and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee that October. The full Senate agreed by unanimous consent in November.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat who used to head the intelligence committee, described McCullough as "well-qualified."

"He has long experience conducting investigations both as an inspector general and a FBI agent," Feinstein said in a floor speech in November 2011. "He is an attorney and is well-familiar with the intelligence community."

Other Democrats agreed.

Damn. It's a vast left wing conspiracy!

None of Clinton's emails was marked as classified during her tenure, State Department officials say, but intelligence officials say some material was clearly classified at the time. Her aides also sent and received classified information.

Exactly HOW did SAP's get "unmarked"? Who "unmarked" them? That's the $64 million question. Of course, we know the answer. Clinton directed her staff to unmark them before sending them to her.

The information was so sensitive that the investigators didn't have clearance to read them.

Damn Damn

As she slips in the polls, Clinton is becoming desperate and unnerved. She is pandering to what she believes is her unflinching "firewall"- black voters:

Hillary Clinton, faced with the real possibility of losing Iowa and New Hampshire to Bernie Sanders, is trying to lock down the support of black voters as a way of repelling his challenge in South Carolina and beyond.

But not everyone believes the idea of a "firewall" for Clinton is a sure thing in South Carolina, which holds its Democratic primary election on Feb. 27, or in the host of Southern states that vote three days later.

But oh, maybe not:

The Clintons seem to be at the center of 9 out of 10 vast conspiracies.

9 out of 10 conspiracy nuts prefer the Clintons over all other corrupt elites when attempting to pick the perfect story from all the rubbish piles in Washington.

Ha!

It seems almost extraneous to point it out, but if unmarked emails turned out to be too classified for the investigators to read, then the position Hillary has staked out, that she never dealt with anything "marked" classified, is a tissue of pretension torn apart by the rough wind of fact. Someone will go down for that one; whether it is the individuals who unmarked the information or the individual who told them to do it, they're both guilty because they're both cleared and responsible.

Much has been made of the intelligence community "rebelling" should no one be held accountable for this, but they're really not in much of a position to do so. They can scream, they can shout, but the mechanism for enforcement is firmly under Executive control as designed. Intelligence tends to be a necessarily autocratic business no matter where it's located, it just comes with the territory. Where the Executive is politically compromised or notably corrupt, the citizens tend not to have a lot of recourse beyond firing the lot of them. We're working on it...

Yep
