Your last point about her being a “place holder” is interesting. What in the world did she do in that post to any lasting benefit?
She and her people wanted total control over her email. Was she just paranoid? Was she communicating with people she shouldn’t have been?
Gowdy has known about this issue for months and I’m sure he knows a lot more about it than he’s saying publicly. This is going to drag on for a while-well into 2016- and even though the DBM will move on soon to other topics, every time there is a hearing, it will come back. Drip, drip, drip.
Dems are panicked and rightly so. They know this can’t be buried and they don’t want to go into an election year defending her at every turn.
I don’t think I’d use the word “control” for this email episode. She had two worlds....inner state department world and inner foundation world. The foundation was utilizing the information and probably rigging up various agreements/deals/agendas that weren’t really part of the WH deal or US gov’t situation.
Example: if you were a casino owner and planned a new operation in some city, and the casino chief financial officer had some outside-loop-email service....he might put this info out there for his ‘friends’ to know such a deal was coming down and get insiders to that city council to force concessions before the casino was approved.
The question to ask...who else had access to clinton-dot-com foundation email? Once we get past twenty people...none of them state department officials...it becomes a joke. She wasn’t there as a state department official....she was merely a funnel for insider info. Putin, the Chinese, Castro, ISIS and maybe the NFL had some paid deal with the foundation for insider info.
Who knew the Libyan-stationed US ambassador was going to be at the compound on that day? Hillary? Emails letting her know that? She puts them up for review? Some foundation guy lets it slip that the ambassador is there for the weekend? You could take this to various levels, and it’s all bad security no matter how you explain the story. Too much access.
