Democrats recoil from Hillary in wake of email controversy
UK Daily Mail ^ | 5 March 2015 | Francesca Chambers

The White House, the State Department and Democrats on Capitol Hill are side-stepping questions about Hillary Clinton as the controversy over her cyber hygiene escalates.

While some of the presumed presidential candidate's party members have come to her defense, many lawmakers headed for the exits this week as reporters asked them for their opinion on the way Clinton handled her email while at the State Department.

Democratic strategists were more willing discuss the scandal - but what they had to say, Clinton probably won't like.

Officials at 1600 Pennsylvania now claim they didn't know that Clinton was solely using her personal email address to conduct government business until Congress reopened an investigation into the Benghazi attack.

The more delayed (suppressed) the reaction, the stronger it becomes.

It’s settled science, I tell you.

How could they NOT know? Every email has the sender's originating email address, so everyone (including the press) had to know it was coming from a private email.

The State Department not noticing this? Are we to believe they can swing a deal with the Iranians? Granted that Harf-witted spokesperson might have overlooked it.

Nobody knew nothing - this is the problem with government, NO accountability. If this were the private sector she would have been in trouble after she sent her very first email from a non authorized server.

Yeah, now that it appears that she’s a “wounded animal,” they are like vultures circling waiting to dive in and feed off the carcass.” Mmm, good cankles!

There’s something else up...

They would have come up with some spin like “she took extra measures for security”.

I think the main facet of this is that it doesn’t touch Bill.

I think they were looking for a good reason to move on from Hilary. And I think this is it. I don’t think even Bill wants to revive her.

I know, it's like they're all saying, "FedEx? FedEx! You mean all those letters you sent me for all those years were through FedEx, and not the USMail?! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to find this out now!" Bwahahaha! Old Fingerprints has succeeded in spreading her crap all over the ENTIRE government, and made them ALL complicit!

It’s not a “controversy”, it’s a felony.

Another one is a very long list of felonies committed by Hillary and Bill. If she had been locked up for some of the others, as she should have been, this would never have happened.

Besides, I wonder if Warren’s handlers haven’t “facilitated” the movement on this whole business. Among other things, slyly encouraging their sycophantic operatives in the media to abandon Hillary. She’s weathered worse than this in the past because the media has protected her and trashed her accusers. That’s not happening this time.

All The Obama has to do, is quietly withdraw his royal seal of favor, and that will be that. The MSM will descend upon the Clintons and feast upon their flesh.

In fact, that may already be the case. Why else would the NY Times roll on Hillary like this?

I think they were looking for a good reason to move on from Hilary. And I think this is it.

They didn't want her to go down for Benghazi, because that would bring down His Heinous, Lord Obama too. No, they had to take her out with some other scandal to close the door on that ever touching him.

Not to mention the fact that Hillary was pretty much fired as a party leader in 2008. I think the new royal court wants the last vestiges of the Clinton mob purged from power for good. There's a new cabal in town, and they aim to banish the old one to the dusty pages of history.

It's pretty obvious to me that the King has withdrawn his royal favor from Hillary. That is the only way the media would roll on her like they're suddenly doing.

That means the-powers-that-be have already decided on someone else for 2016.

You know, I was thinking the very same thing. They really have their knives out at the Slimes. I guess if it starts permeating the MSM, we will know that Obama has kissed her on both cheeks.

Hillary 'Fredo' Clinton, as it were.

I think it's finally over for her.

Rules aren’t for the Clintons, and the left has always celebrated that, until now. They must know that Hillary can’t pass muster. She is too old, too ugly, and too feeble to stand up to the pressures of a campaign. Her only chance is as Jeb’s VP pick. They could run as American royalty.
