Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brushed off new revelations that the 30,000 "personal" emails she deleted may have included official Department business as "nothing to concern the American people."
A deleted email of particular note was a memo from her Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin to Clinton's State Department subordinates regarding problems caused by Clinton's use of a private unsecured email server. The former Secretary claimed to have "no knowledge of either the original email or its illegal deletion," but offered a hypothesis suggesting that the IT specialist who set up the server "may be the guilty party."
"Earlier this week Bryan Pagliano, the man who set up my off-site email system 'took the 5th' over 125 times during a 90-minute, closed-door deposition," Clinton pointed out. "While not admissible in court, this is practically a confession. Rather than harassing me, wouldn't it make more sense to pursue this 'smoking gun?'"
Missing emails aren't the only problem. Comparison of what Clinton attempted to pass off as undeleted official records with planning schedules assembled by the Secretary's aides show major discrepancies. Specifically, the names of more than 100 outsiders who were scheduled to meet with Clinton were scrubbed from her version of what she was doing. Most of the missing names turned out to be executives of firms that were seeking government favors and had donated to the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill maintains that "these discrepancies are no big deal. People need to understand that a Secretary of State could have valid reasons for keeping selected meetings and communications secret. Instead of casting suspicions on a great American who has devoted her entire adult life to the difficult job of governing this country, the media and the voters ought to be showing more trust."
In related news, Clinton warned Americans "not to get any ideas from the Brexit vote. I will not abide presiding over a 'rump republic.' Any state or states that imagine they might vote their way out of our North American Union should remember they won't be dealing with a weakling like Cameron at the helm. I had no qualms about taking down Gaddafi and, like Lincoln, I will not hesitate to use every weapon at my disposal to preserve this Union."

Rump republic Bttt
Here’s next week’s Hillary: “We knew that Bryan was extremely upset at the way he had been mistreated by Republicans during his deposition, but we never thought it would drive him to suicide.”
>> the names of more than 100 outsiders ... were scrubbed
Satire doing the job the MSM refuses...
As always, trying to find the semi-satire among the real news. Another fine/scary column, John.
.
Couple quick questions: is Hillary currently a member of any bar association? When did she give her last unscripted interview?
