Hillary: Look, My Latest Classified Email Problem is Just Another Fake Controversy
Townhall ^ | Jan 11, 2016 | Guy Benson

Hillary Clinton is responding to last week's bombshell by scrupulously adhering to her scandal playbook: Downplay, deflect, deny. An email released late last week appeared to show then-Secretary Clinton instructing a subordinate to transmit classified materials through non-secure means in 2011. When a secure fax system failed to work properly, an impatient Clinton requested that the materials she needed be turned "into non paper w no identifying heading and [sent] nonsecure." The State Department reacted to this apparently incriminating exchange by calling into question whether the information was ever actually sent (which isn't exactly exculpatory for Hillary), and suggesting that it may not necessarily have been classified in the first place. One problem with this explanation is that in light of Hillary's, shall we say, less than assiduous approach to handling classified data, the notion that she'd be a stickler about sending sensitive, but unclassified, information through non-secure means strains credulity. Plus, the talking points she was seeking at the time have since been redacted, as has the subject matter of those talking points -- albeit under the 'internal deliberations' FOIA exemption. Are we to believe that their contents were not secret? Also, why else would she ask for identifying markings be stripped away before being 'sent nonsecure'? Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday, Mrs. Clinton regurgitated State's explanations and declared her actions "common practice" and a non-issue...

Hillary has played fast and loose with the facts on this front in the not too distant past, earning rebukes from nonpartisan fact-checkers. Second, Hillary and her lawyers unilaterally and permanently destroyed — or at least attempted to — more than 30,000 of the emails from her server, which they then tried to wipe clean. She’s sworn under oath that all of the withheld or deleted emails were entirely personal in nature and unrelated to work. This is a veritable lie.

Isn’t this a violation of federal law? That doesn’t sound fake to me! Time for an orange jump suit, bitch!

You gotta keep up. The latest news is that the FBI is expanding its investigation to include influence peddling... Foundation cash for overseas deals.

That's the headline news.

My only hope is that they don't pull the trigger on an indictment too soon. I don't want the Dims to be able to get old Joe into the race.

I want them stuck with Bernie.

” and declared her actions “common practice” and a non-issue...”

The truth amongst the lies. That is the problem. It is ‘common practice’ in government. They all do it.

There was a guest on Hannity’s radio show today who said that he has two highly reliable sources that have told him that Clinton’s server was hacked, Clinton knew about it, and continued to use it.

There’s been five or six occasions over the past decade where she said something to indicate she has no grasp of the internet, social media, or technology. When someone said her site was hacked...she probably had no idea what that meant or what it affected. I’d say half the guys of ‘power’ in DC over the age of sixty...are in the same boat as Hillary and have no grasp of what they are using.

The Clinton Strategy: admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations.

Imagine you are the head of Intelligence for Russia.

You are called in to a meeting with Putin. He asks what you've learned from the United States Secretary of State's easily hackable server?

How long would you keep your job if you say that you couldn't break in to her server?

Now repeat that same scenario in Iran, North Korea and China.

Yeah, from my perspective she moves the goalposts and complains that she's not the one who is all screwed up, it's everyone else BUT her. That shtick is old & moldy and and at this point is doing nothing but insulting everyone's intelligence. I'm with the Freeper (can't remember just who it was) who made a post sometime last year, that however it happens, whatever it takes "Satan must go down". Enough with the Clintoon creeps.
