Hillary Clinton Wasn't Adept at Using a Desktop for Email, Inquiry Is Told
NY Times ^ | May 26, 2016 | Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers

Posted on 05/27/2016 1:15:46 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton and her advisers have offered a series of explanations over the last year for her decision to use a private email server as secretary of state, a decision that she said again on Thursday had been "a mistake."

She did not want the inconvenience of carrying two phones, Mrs. Clinton said initially. She did not want a government account that might pull in nonwork matters, she said later. Or perhaps, an adviser has said, she simply did not want Republican lawmakers rifling through her personal emails.

Yet another explanation emerged Thursday: She was not comfortable with using a computer to read email.

This could have been handled by Hillary accepting a State email account and asking for a few scramble phones to be issued to her and her posse. Then, they could conduct State business on the email and their illegal activities by voice. However...

The reason this would not work is that so much of what they did was illegal and that they did not really know what was and was not legal. Career criminals live in a world where illegality is the norm. They remind me of marihuana users who light up in public and are shocked to get arrested. Marihuana is such a large part of their lives that they don’t consider it an activity that must be kept under wraps.

That, is the most disturbing aspect of the Clintons. Bill makes no effort to disguise his illegal sexual activities because they are normal to him. He had a bimbo eruption team to cover up after the fact. Hillary has spent a lifetime conducting illegal activities and she can’t divide out the legal from the illegal. She expected the press to act as her bimbo eruption control mechanism. But the story is too big and half of the press has deserted to a bigger and more reliable socialist. She is in trouble now.

Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” meme is about perfect.

It’s clear that she did this so that no one in government could ever see her emails. WHY? Because she’s crooked! It’s so simple and so obviously true. The details are just extra dressing, the simple fact is she’s crooked.

How many lies will Hillary tell to cover-up the marathon of illegalities and buck-raking she was engaged in?

<><> she first said she did not want the inconvenience of carrying two phones.

<><> she also said she not want a government account that might pull in nonwork matters.

<><> then she accused Republicans (or, even worse, the taxpayers) for wanting to rifle through her personal emails.

<><> now we learn, she was incompetent; not comfortable with using a computer to read email.

Yet she was savvy enough to opt for a private server and hired her personal IT man....for the express purpose of hiding the Clintons buck-raking.......payments for selling access to her decisions.

knowing she is guilty of many federal crimes here, the only valid question is why there hasn’t been an indictment yet. Exactly why?

My mother is 80 and learned how to receive and send emails. I’m thinking Hilary has forms of dementia that are being hidden if she cannot learn how to receive and send emails.

Given the vast number of emails Hillary was involved in, she’s either dumber than a rock or lying through her teeth. Either disqualifies her for the presidency.

Why? No one in DC wants to start Clinton skeletons tumbling out of the closet. Think Fibber McGee. If those things get out thet will dance all over the place. They will even dance right into Bathouse Barry’s Oval Office. As long as Bathouse Barry is at the switch not one damn thing is gonna happen. The problem for all these crooks is Bathouse Barry’s days are numbered now and the number is dwindling down. A new Congress will soon budget Barry’s cronies and lapdogs out of existence. Any fed bureaucrat who wants a chair when the music stops has to start shaping up now. The Rats have been so slimy for so long there just sren’t enough Dutch Boys to plug everything so things are coming apart in DC.

It is a poor mechanism we have let putrify to protect our liberties but there it is.

This douche is dumber than a stick.

Remember it took her 3 times to pass the bar exam ? And how the 3rd time it was solo behind closed doors ? Under the auspices of Mr. Bill ?

A stupid, drunk, old hag.

Hillary at the server...using a high tech patch board to route the payments to the various foundations

To the accompaniment of Booker T and the Hammond.

Clinton also said during the Benghazi hearings that she didn’t even conduct most of the nation’s business on email. lol. Lukens is just as culpable in not questioning what she was doing not being connected to the system but at least the walls are starting to come down.

Yeah, I bet she didn’t.

bottom line...... Hillary is incompetent and not capable of doing the job.

She is but one of many lacking the mental resources to function in the work place of today

Mrs. Clinton was “very comfortable checking her emails on a BlackBerry, but she’s not adept or not used to checking her emails on a desktop.”


I’ve never used a BlackBerry. Is checking emails on a desktop that much different or more difficult than using a BlackBerry?
