Why Clinton can’t shake her private email scandal
Washington Post ^ | Aug. 23, 2016 | Andrea Peterson

Hillary Clinton has been tired of talking about her private email server for a long time. When a reporter asked the Democratic presidential candidate about the story’s staying power as she walked away from a terse news conference in August 2015, the politician threw up her hands in exasperation.

“Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys,” she hollered back.

But a year later — and with just over three months until the election — Clinton is still being plagued by her decision to use a personal email account for work during her tenure as secretary of state.

On Monday, a lawsuit from a conservative group revealed new email exchanges concerning the Clinton Foundation and State Department access and put pressure on the State Department to quickly review an unreleased

Question: Why didn’t Comey and his 150 clowns find these 15,000 emails?

Answer: They lacked the necessary resources.

All the FBI needed to do was ask the State Dept to search its e-mail archives for Hillary’s e-mail ID and sort the results by recipient. There would be some cleanup needed, but large organizations search for e-mails all the time for lawsuits, personnel issues and the like.

It’s obvious there is something damning in there or she never would have deleted evidence under subpoena in the first place. She’s a lawyer, whether she thinks she is above the law or not, she is not stupid enough to do such a thing unless the penalties for whatever she was covering up are much worse than the penalties for destroying evidence.

The entire issue is that she wasn’t using the State Department’s email system. Sure, they could have found some of her emails by doing that, but only if another State Dept employee was cc’d on the message.

I’m behind. What are the basics here?

Clinton set up a private sever in her home administered by a group in Denver who kept her (our) information in a bathroom closet. None of the people involved had security clearances. When Hillary handed her emails over to her lawyers to 'go through them' HER LAWYERS DID NOT have security clearances either. The press did not notice.

Hillary's lover was part of a Muslim Brotherhood family - she also had access to Hillary's top secret emails. She did not have top security clearance either.

James Comey's remarks dealt with HOW THE EMAILS WERE HANDLED. NOT WITH ANY ASPECTS OF THE CONTENT.

The press did NOT make an effort to handle this case because of newsroom group think that favors democrats. When Bernie Sanders said he wasn't interested "in the damn emails", the MSM breathed a sigh of relief and abandoned all appearance and reality of being journalists.

But there are more coming out?

Yes, Judicial Watch did the job the press was suppose to do... they fought to get the truth out - in spite of being mocked by the MSM.

Wait, is Clinton in criminal trouble?

Not at this very moment - the MSM including the Washington Post has done everything in their power to downplay this story... but the Clinton lies and massive number of top security emails and strong proof that Russian Uraniam deals - Arab deals - etc point to the Clintons selling access, information and advantage. There's concern the press can't keep the lid on this story until after the election... 'our' credibility is on the line... tying our credibilty to corrupt democrats might not have been a good decision. But they DO send us packets of potential stories .. and they include a few self serving ones so we'll feel good at rejecting what they want us to reject. Eight years ago research was done and it turned out if top editors rejected MORE stories they would also ACCEPT MORE stories. We get played like fish by democrats but due to downsizing we really NEED demicrats to feed us...

So using a private account was bad security?

We in the MSM tried to downplay this aspect but too many people in flyover have had security clearances and respected those clearances. No one buys the stuff about Cllinton not knowing how to handle top secret information. We (the MSM) tried to make it sound like it was 'too confusing' but again, rubes in flyover weren't easily tricked.

Oh, and there's not a chance in hell that Hillary's email account was NOT hacked. Again, people in flyover use and own computers... and we're ever so sure that every enemy of the United States has had full access to Hillary computer system for years.. It's possible the ambassador assigned to Benghazi would still be a live today if her computer had not been hacked.

So why did Clinton do it?

The Clintons have a long history of emotional issues with money. They've sold access, the White House bedrooms, took White House silverware, and other 'gifts' (that should have been left...) Gifts that we're returned until the issue was forced. Clintons appear to have mental problems when it comes to money - - a form of gluttony - where no amount of money is enough.

Why would Clinton want to keep such tight control over her emails?

The Clintons have been involved in scandals since they came on the political scene... from the hundred thousand Hillary made in the stock market from a $10,000 'investment' (in six months) to the more recent email and 'foundation' scandals. They've learned how to be 'careful'. How to hide what tThe stuff she was doing needed to be covhey're up to... it's no more complicated than that...

Thank you my FRiend, we all need to keep the pressure on both her and her slobbering sycophants in the Pravda-esque media with satire as well as fury...

Why?

I READ the memo of August 6, 2001. Had I violated its terms, I could have been hauled off base, into a van, and held without bail anywhere for any length of time, per NDAA.

I’d be harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa (Sr).

But Illary? She and likely many of those around her are light years beneath anything I’ve ever read about. There are no words.

I have to thank you. That actually made me laugh out loud today!

I must say that under normal circumstances, I would never in a million years laugh at or ridicule someone with the physical ailments she apparently had, but this is not a normal circumstance.

As you clearly understand, we are fighting an uphill battle to keep that despicable criminal grifter out of our government. In her quest for raw power to wield over people, destroy our rights and freedoms, there is no quarter here.

So...keep it up. I am going to as well, where I can!

Because if she gets into office, there will be no quarter for the American citizenry.

Clinton is still being plagued by her decision to use a personal email account for work...

Being Secretary of State of the United States is not "work," it is a service to one's country of the highest regard.

Will Clinton also think of the Presidency as just more "work?"

Which begs the question, why an attorney who worked on the Watergate hearings would pursue these tactics? I’m afraid of the answer.

For the same reason she was fired from the Congressional Water committee:
No sense of ethics or moral character; falsifying and/o destroying evidence supporting the "defendant's" Constitutional Rights defense.

The FBI did NOT investigate ANYTHING ABOUT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION they only looked at her handling of classified documents,period.
Comey would not answer if the foundation was under investigation. They did not investigate any of her statements before congressional committees either.
