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.
Mao supporting Stalin.
Every day is opposite day in liberal-land.
I suppose that you could define inverse integrity as extra-ordinary as well...
Exactly.
He doesn’t need to defend her. She’s already got the New York vote in the bag.
“a person of extraordinary integrity.” Perhaps by his standards.

He forgot two words; “A person of an extraordinary lack of integrity.”
In reality, the woman is pure evil.
Figures. What a douche bag!
Communists define “integrity” a little differently...
The Stalinists are circling the wagon.
Is he that desperate to be Hitlery’s running mate?
Turd-brain supporting shit-head.
Hitlery/DeBlasio 2016 - What Could Go Wrong, America?
Compared to whom? You, Bill or Obama?
"The story is told of two brothers who were rich but very wicked. Both lived a very wild life, using their wealth to cover up the dark side of their lives. They attended the same church and gave large sums to various church related projects.
Suddenly one of the brothers died and the pastor was asked to preach his funeral. The surviving brother gave the pastor an envelope and said here is a check that will pay for the entire amount needed for the new sanctuary and I only ask one favor: Tell the people at the funeral that my brother was a saint.
The pastor wanted the check but he didn’t see how he could make a statement like this. Then he had an idea, so he gave the brother his word that he would do it, deposited the check in the bank and the next day at the funeral said,
“This man was an ungodly sinner, wicked to the core but compared to his brother he was a saint.”
Bill de Blasio - living proof that you can, indeed, pile $hit over six feet high.
Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. The Good Humor Man says
“Bill de Blasio? I hate the man. I’d like to stick a popsicle stick in his ear, freeze him, and then sell him as a s**tsicle.”
I couldn't be more impressed if the entire communist party swore to her "integrity">
