Former Clinton Administration Secretary of State Madeleine Albright suggested that the inquiry into Hillary Clinton's email practices during her tenure as Obama's Secretary of State "has gone far enough."
"Okay, she made a mistake and some laws may have been broken, but there's no proof that the way she handled her email has hurt anyone," Albright contended. "It's time for the persecution of this great American to end."
The possibility that Hillary's unsecured emails containing classified material might have been hacked and, thereby, exposed covert operatives to potentially fatal risk was brushed aside. "There's no definitive proof that her emails were hacked," Albright argued. "Even if there were there would be no way to tell if the deaths of any US assets were the result of such a breach or due to other causes. Who knows for sure whether it was Hillary's careless handling of his communications regarding the gun-running operation or a video insulting Islam that caused the attack that led to Ambassador Stevens' death?"
While Albright remains confident that no harm was done, federal records reveal that Hillary Clinton posted and shared the names of concealed U.S. intelligence officials on her unprotected email system. State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson said the Department "has no comment on this matter. Some of those in a position to know say they do not recall. Others have asserted their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination."
Albright said she was much more concerned about the danger of Donald Trump becoming president. "He's completely outside the mainstream of foreign policy thinking," she asserted. "He doesn't see the need to confront Russia. He criticized President Obama's deal with Iran. He demands that other countries pay the United States for the cost of defending them. No one else shares these views. If he is elected the last 20 years of US foreign policy could be completely undone. That would be dangerous."
In related news, the State Department professed itself to be at a dead-end regarding who authorized lying to the media about the Iran nuclear deal. Spokesman Mark Toner admitted that "obviously, someone told the video technician to delete that information from the briefing, but no one will own up to doing it." State Department Press Secretary Jen Psaki may have come closest to an admission by suggesting "there are times when diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress."

A rephrasing of “What difference does it make now.”?
Wasn’t it the Sen. Frank Church release of secret documents that sealed the fate of hundreds of Soviet dissidents?
Who presented the "reset" button to Putin's Russia?
Hillary is getting a super- sized case of desperation to have to dig up this war criminal from the boneyard to try to help her lie her way out of a Half- dozen felony charges It’s become necessary The D’s nominate someone else to keep Hillary from dragging the entire D ticket down her sewer of corruption
I can imagine the daggers sent flying by this vengeful wench if the Dems take the nomination away from her.
Those super delegates who turn their backs on her should stay away from parks and airplanes!
The body count could be massive!
I just wonder if she’s deranged enough to dish the dirt on the Muslim Community Organizer if she gets taken out of the race?
If anyone would do something like that it would be the Arkansas Razorback.
No kidding there is no proof, the witch erased it....
She presented an “overcharge” button. Yes, Hillary our “top foreign diplomat” didn’t even have a staff that could translate English to Russian properly. And she wants to be in charge of nuclear codes....

Hear that? Everyone in jail for mishandling classified documents should immediately file for appeal
OOPS SATIRE
(too close to reality)
Sir Edmund is gonna have to eventually play the Josef Hamacher defense. I’m sure she can find a doc to write her a note.
Yet another priceless bit of your insightful interpretation.
Problem with Albright’s statement is that the release of sensitive information can be used many ways by charlie. For her to make a statement trying to justify espionage and treason with her “opinion” that nothing came of it, is not only lying, but absolutely idiotic and insulting. Just the act of having access to sensitive info requires the training and confirming form 302 to indicate that she will conform to DOD policies and guidelines (regulations) required of all employees. And by knowingly violating the policy she confirmed she is also guilty of perjury. And that’s something the Clintons understand.

It’s so hard to sort the news from satire.
John, this is especially funny (in a frightening way, of course.)
Thanks for another solid news column, only slightly salted with occasional satire.
