Napolitano Challenges Clinton's Statement That 'My Predecessors Did the Same Thing'
CNS News ^ | March 10, 2016 | Barbara Hollingsworth

"My predecessors did the same thing," Clinton said during Wednesday's Democratic debate.

"Secretary Powell and Secretary Rice did nothing of the sort," Napolitano told "America's Newsroom" host Bill Hemmer on Thursday when asked to explain the legal distinction between the use of private emails and a private server.

"Her predecessors, and let's identify them – Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice – did not have servers in their own home," Napolitano said.

Telling the truth is not something Hillary Clinton worries about, IMHO

"My predecessors were treasonous crooks.
So it's okay that I'm a treasonous crook."

I was wondering about what Hillary claimed about her predecessors. Hope next time she claims that someone will call her out on it, but I’m not holding my breath.

Something tells me something is about to break.

* Andrew McCarthy was on Bill Bennett ( 2 fill ins ) saying that this was not about being lazy, It was about not being held accountable.
* Another former Federal Prosecutor on Laura this a.m. going over the scenario's of what maybe done.

A caller pontificated it was easy for a donor / client to get the data on her private servers.

“Hope next time she claims that someone will call her out on it, but I’m not holding my breath.”

Bring out Jorge Ramos to question her again. Jorege is a Mexican A$$hole, but he shure isn’t shy about his questioning of Hitlary.

I still wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Colin Powell comes out and endorses here.

From everything leaked so far it looks like Hillary will have more splaining to do in May. Unlike the classified emails excuses in which she plays word games, she won’t be able to that with the bribery and tax evasion evidence. Two billon dollars worth wasn’t an accident.

So if 10 people decide to jump off a cliff, you going to jump also?

This is how juvenile Hillary has become, I really believe she has a screw floating somewhere in outer space that come out of the ‘new tested’ brain that was installed...

Another utterly specious argument from Frau Hitlery.

Sure, all of her predecessors - at least those since email came into being - had private email accounts. Some, in select cases and subject to their judgment, probably used private email to conduct official business. However, if any used a private email account on a private server to transmit and receive classified information, inquiring minds would like to know who they were. I, for one, would like to see the follow-up question: “Really? Who?” The “Well, everyone does it” defense doesn’t hold up in court - at least for most of us.

Followed by just because everyone else does it doesn't make it right.

So all the previous sec states had private servers, on their own property, and then attempted to wipe out the hard drives when it was discovered???

Who Hillary? Who.

One of the first things I remember my mom telling me was, "I don't care if all your friends are doing it."

Even Beaver Cleaver learned that he doesn't say to his dad that all his friends are stealing stuff from the store so he can too.

Somehow Hillary did not learn that basic lesson.

She is like that kid trying to convince her father that she was justified in coming home with stolen goods and has no need to take the stuff back and apologize to the storekeeper.

According to ex-federal employees with current contacts, the results of at least one of the FBI investigations will be complete. That coincides with the subpoenas being issued to Hillary’s aides via the judge handling the Judicial Watch lawsuit (FOIA).

Pagliano’s and Guccifer’s testimony may bear fruit before that.
