The FBI just released its report on Clinton. We will undoubtedly hear a right-wing chorus that the report stamps her as untrustworthy. But, an actual reading of the report strongly reflects, instead, her honor and trustworthiness. The best way to see this is to get right into the report itself.
The Bogus Nature of the State Department Inspector General’s Criticism of Her....
Merely Drone Strike Kerfuffle Was At Issue, Not Truly Super-Classified Material....
Not Much Was Even Nominally Classified....

“Drone strike kerfuffle” is a quite an amazing concept. Let’s take this one step at a time.
1. Most of the targets of drone strikes are connected to ISIS or other terrorist-grade organizations.
2. Many contemplated drone strikes aren’t carried out, because the risks of civilian casualties are too severe, or because the U.S. isn’t 100% certain it has tracked down the intended target.
3. When the U.S. is tracking bad guys for months or years (remember Bin Laden), the less that targets know about the details of U.S. pursuit, the better. When details leak, targets tend to change their routines in ways that make it much harder to continue the pursuit.
So if ISIS or its sympathizers know who the U.S. is targeting, and how far along various aborted targeting efforts have come, is that just a “kerfuffle”?
A lot of U.S. military and intelligence efforts are hard at work to make sure that we don’t end up with another 9/11 kerfuffle. Being cavalier about the secret details involved in drone operations sounds like very bad practice.
The comments at the article pretty much sum up this drivel

So why would Forbes keep this hack on staff?
Thats the comment they chose to highlight go back and read the other 198 plus
New to the fact that Forbes publishes “other” viewpoints? Welcome.
The amzing number of kneepads these people must have to buy...
Actually what I gathered from the report is that Hillary is a selfish lazy, typical non technical dumb butt. It is obvious she puts her needs well before her job or country.
Forbes competing with National Enquirer and The Onion for the NOT THE NEWS Award?
- Martha Stewart, intro quote on Forbes today
Martha has higher standards than Forbes.
If I worked for Forbes and they were investigating something I messed up and I answered all of their questions with "I can't recall," they should gladly deemed me to be trustworthy.
F.B.I. Director James Comey specifically said that Clinton had done all the things necessary for gross negligence, which under the particular statute was a crime regarding handling classified materiel. He then said he would not prosecute. In testimony before Congress Comey directly contradicted Clinton’s claims many times. NOTHING there says she is trustworthy, EVERYTHING there says she is a liar and a criminal.
This “contributor” Charles Tiefer must be a piece of work. There are folks with Forbes as everywhere who don’t like Trump. But this is outrageous. I’m surprised Steve Forbes allowed this. Of course Forbes magazine is now owned by a Chinese company so maybe that had something to so with it.
I wonder if some of the dough the clintons accrued just might go to craft and place clinton-friendly opinion pieces like this?
Really bizzare defense of Clinton.
There's an eye-opener, and no mistake.
Forbes, and his entire editorial staff; can line up on their knees and kiss me American Arse!
GRRR!
“Forbes (yes, Forbes....I cannot believe it...)”
Gave up my nearly lifelong subscription over 10 years ago. Yes, it has become drivel - completely.
Imagine the lying, criminality and perversion we will face if these unethical pigs get back in the White House?
Laws don’t apply, sanctuary cities don’t exist, national security for sale!
Of course she was lying. If you’re secretary of state you don’t need to remember the one day they told you about classified info. It’s an every day fact of life unless you are mentally disabled.
She has established she can be depended on to say, “I forgot”, “I don’t remember”, “I have no recollection”, and the good old standby, “someone else did it”.
