The flood of emails obtained from Clinton confidants detailing repeated instances of illegal, dishonest, and despicable behavior has provoked a howl of protest from the Clinton for President campaign.
"Lest anyone forget, let me remind them that these emails were purloined surreptitiously and illegally," campaign manager Robby Mook complained. "By invading the privacy of people actively supporting Secretary Clinton's election they have been forced to unwillingly testify against themselves. This compelled testimony is as flagrant a violation of the Constitution's guarantee against self-incrimination as we have ever seen in a political campaign in our nation's history."
Among the revelations contained in the Wikileaks' document release were emails disclosing that Hillary herself was the one who deleted the missing 33,000 work-related emails, that Phillipe Reines, then Senior Adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested ways of obstructing the handing over the emails that had been subpoenaed, and that Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon was receiving illegal inside information on the Department of Justice investigation of Hillary's email security breaches.
Mook likened the Wikileaks operation to "the illegal wiretaps that police sometimes tried to use against suspected members of organized crime. The courts have always tossed this kind of evidence and we are fully confident that they will toss any emails obtained without the writers' freely given consent if this matter ever goes to trial, which is something I doubt President Obama would allow."
In the meantime, Mook expressed gratitude that "the nation's major media outlets have pretty effectively tossed the Wikileaks garbage out of the 'court of public opinion.' They realize that there is no need to get voters stirred up over events that should have no bearing on the upcoming election. What's done is done. The bigger issue is whether this country will permit a person as unfit as Donald Trump to become president."
Interestingly, a significant number of the emails exposed by Wikileaks revealed a close coordination between the Clinton campaign and the supposedly "objective" media. Nevertheless, Mook brushed this aside as "irrelevant," claiming that "it should be no mystery that those who believe in truth and justice would share a common interest in determining who should run the government."
In related news, another email exposed by Wikileaks showed former Clinton administration official Bill Ivey advising Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta to "conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry," but warned that "the unawareness remains strong, but compliance is fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious thinking and demographically-inspired messaging."

In the meantime, Mook expressed gratitude that “the nation’s major media outlets have pretty effectively tossed the Wikileaks garbage out of the ‘court of public opinion.’ They realize that there is no need to get voters stirred up over events that should have no bearing on the upcoming election. What’s done is done. The bigger issue is whether this country will permit a person as unfit as Donald Trump to become president.”
Fortunately, there are alternative media channels now. Most people get their news online and the truth is only one click away.
Yeah, that’s the ticket,
Kill the messenger not the illegal actions.
Unfit describes Hillary perfectly. Any officer in the military who did anything like even one classified doc brought home would be found unfit plus more.
The media is doing their part to insure that nobody is incriminated.
