De Blasio Defends Hillary: She’s ‘a Person of Extraordinary Integrity’
Townhall.com ^ | March 7, 2015 | Michael Schaus

Posted on 03/07/2015 7:21:28 AM PST by Kaslin

Mayor Bill de Blasio (Communist Progressive – NYC) is rushing to the defense of his former employer, Hillary Clinton, who is in hot water for violating Federal requirements that official email correspondence be conducted on government servers. After all, birds of a crony-progressive feather should always flock together.

At issue is Hillary’s somewhat Bond-villain decision to build her own email server in her lair in Chappaqua, rather than bother with those pesky government servers. And to a certain extent, can you blame her? I mean heck, there is a reason healthcare.gov wasn’t exactly a rousing success. Can you imagine those same folks being in charge of national security emails?

Then again, there is also a reason for the government-only policy for email correspondence. In the event that an investigation is instigated (for example: unfair political targeting by IRS officials), emails would be readily accessible to members of the investigating party. (Well… Maybe that’s a bad example. But at least that’s the idea.) As it currently stands with Mrs. Clinton – who is being investigated over the death of the American ambassador in Benghazi – subpoenas and FOI requests are basically at the mercy of the “honor system”. And, let’s face it, we are talking about the Clintons. (I’m sure I could run through a list of scandals, but really “what difference does it make” at this point?)

Of course there’s also the issue of security. At least with government email, there’s a basic level of standard protocols in place for the transmission of sensitive information. Oh sure, the State Department says she never sent any classified or sensitive information from her private email HDR22@ClintonEmail.com, but are we really supposed to buy that line? Did she do all of her top-secret clearance communication via carrier pigeons, or what?

Even the White House has essentially thrown her under the bus. Valarie Jarret and Josh Earnest both insisted that they were unaware of her communicating via email with anyone in the White House. Also, unicorns were largely responsible for carrying coded messages between Obama and his Secretary of State. And yet, Bill “I heart Hillary” de Blasio played defense for the former Secretary of State to reporters in an unrelated appearance in New York City.

He explained that Mrs. Clinton is “one of the finest public servants this country has produced” and “a person of extraordinary integrity.” No obvious tells of satire or sarcasm were apparent in his remarks. Apparently he actually thinks people will believe what he says about her. He continued by pointing out that “It’s not a great secret I have immense respect for Secretary Clinton… To me it’s quite clear that measures were taken to comply with the letter and the spirit of the law, and I respect that.”

Also: Some animals are more equal than others. (Oh yeah… She ousted an ambassador for using his Gmail account. Clearly, he should have asked to use Clintonemail.com as his domain.)

In the world of Clinton & Co, following the “letter and the spirit of the law” means setting up multiple private emails on a home-brewed server, rather than abiding by the plain-language regulations requiring government sponsored email accounts for public business. It’s almost like cronyism is more important to the Communist Progressive Mayor of New York City than integrity and compliance with the law.

Then again, this might just be another example of the far Left NYC Mayor defending a family that is climbing their way out of poverty. Good for him.

He doesn’t need to defend her. She’s already got the New York vote in the bag.

De Blasio is campaigning for her VP slot.

I doubt that. No electoral advantages on such a ticket.

Just what she needs. A skin-crawling moose to her rescue.

I had to double check to make sure this wasn’t a John Semmens article. I have no doubt this commie rat bastard said this though, he said the same thing about Sheldon Silver who was busted last month for massive corruption. “Sheldon is a man of integrity”. I am SO SO SO SO glad I moved the hell out of that city, anybody who lives there, whatever you do get the hell out ASAP, it’ll be the best decision you will ever make in your life I guarantee you. I grew up in that cesspool and moved, escaped is more like it, 4 years ago and I have never regretted it since. Matter of fact I can’t believe I lived there that long. It’s when you escape from a liberal hell hole like that do you realize how incredibly oppressed you were. All the money being stolen from me not just from my paycheck, but all the faux fines and other excuses the fascists come up with to lighten your wallet not to mention the massive amounts of illegals sucking up that money. Everyday when I went to work I would drive by the welfare office looking at the massive line of illegals at 33-000 Northern blvd in Astoria, and saying to myself “Why am I busting my ass to support these mofos?” I was working 12- 18 hours a day and barely getting by. You begin to realize you are being scammed, used, solely so liberals can play God like this piece of rat filth De Blasio. Cops are the bad guys to this jackass but corrupt politicians are “people of integrity”.

I am sure she appreciates this clown show standing up for her.

My guess is that she would have preferred someone with a little integrity defending her integrity. I guess they’re hard to find on the democrat side.

> “He explained that Mrs. Clinton is “one of the finest public servants this country has produced” and “a person of extraordinary integrity.” “

Oh my, where to begin?

I’ll keep it simple.

1) Integrity without wisdom is foolishness.

Foolishness can lead to recklessness. Recklessness is a hallmark trait of the Clinton’s.

2) Wisdom without integrity yields cowardice.

Persistent cowardice is a dishonest waste of life.

3) Wisdom and Integrity must go hand-in-hand.

Wisdom is knowing the ‘talk’. Integrity is doing the ‘walk’.

Conclusion:

Hillary has no wisdom. She long ago replaced wisdom with lies.

To cover up her lack of wisdom, she asserts her ‘strong woman’ profile and causes people to take other lives becoming reckless in the extreme.

For example, the bombing of Kosovo was the result of Hillary screaming on the phone and barking orders while she was First Lady or ‘Co-President’. She had become incensed at Milosevich who did not understand her role in diplomacy. She took it as an insult.

He explained that Mrs. Clinton is “one of the finest public servants this country has produced” and “a person of extraordinary integrity.”

As Rush has repeatedly observed, the easiest lie to tell is one that has a sliver of truth in it. We have now reached the point where that is no longer necessary. The most outrageous lies, totally disconnected from any reality, are being promulgated and unchallenged by the main stream media, elected officials. Obama is scheduled today to use Selma as a launching pad for complete irrationality. Don’t hold your breath waiting for news pundits to question it on the Sunday morning news shows.

GAG-A-THON Mayor De Blasio says Hillary’s ‘a Person of Extraordinary Integrity’...

Just goes to show Blobbio will suckup to anything that moves....he actually said the same thing about deposed Speaker Silver, the Demicrat facing mega-jailtime for taking bribes and kickbacks while in office.

Blobbio sucked-up bigtime to Al "ebonics" Sharpton.

"Al, you wanna do some lines?"

Yes, if she has integrity, than it certainly is of the most extraordinary kind. If we were to define what she did by the conventional definition than it certainly was not.
