As Hillary Clinton Stays Quiet About Private Emails, Republicans Seize Moment to Criticize Her
New York Times ^ | March 8, 2015 | ALAN RAPPEPORT

....“There are gaps of months and months and months,” Mr. [Trey] Gowdy said Sunday on the CBS program “Face the Nation.” “It strains credibility to believe if you’re on your way to Libya to discuss Libyan policy that there is not a single document to turn over to Congress.”.....

....Democrats remained on the defensive over the situation, given Mrs. Clinton’s status as their presumed presidential nominee despite not having formally announced her intentions to run.

Senator Dianne Feinstein...said Mrs. Clinton must “step up” and explain why she had used a private email address during her time as secretary of state, increasing the pressure on Mrs. Clinton to publicly address the matter.

“I think that she needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is...From this point on, the silence is going to hurt her.”

...Many senior Democrats appear anxious and said they hoped Mrs. Clinton would offer some clarity about why she had used her own email account to conduct government business.

...“I think at the end of the day this will just be regarded as a slight hiccup, a small bump in the road six months from now,” Mr. [Charles] Schumer told CBS. “The bottom line is she’s a national figure, a potential presidential candidate. People are going to shoot at her.”

Mrs. Clinton has so far only said in a post on Twitter that she wants the public to see her emails. Over the weekend, the controversy spilled over into the world of comedy when “Saturday Night Live” featured the dust-up.

Impersonating Mrs. Clinton sitting on a couch, the comedian Kate McKinnon said the contents of her email were no big deal.

“Those emails are clean as a whistle,” she said. “This is not how Hillary Clinton goes down.”

".......“Do you ever get tired of cleaning up after the Clintons?” Wallace asked.

If they were obama emails, it would be a non-issue. The media would make excuses and give it a pass. The race card trumps the woman card.

Two months or eighteen minutes of missing records. What difference does it make at this point?

Wow. You talk about getting back what you dish out, times ten............Her Watergate feeding frenzy has come home to nest.

Jeffrey Lord: Hillary’s Emails and Nixon’s Tapes "......As the issue of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails mushrooms, let’s take a stroll down the media’s memory lane to another time and another scandal and another woman. The scandal, of course, is the Watergate scandal and the role the tapes played in bringing down a presidency.....

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro: Hillary’s Watergate "The Democratic superstar failed to take the Nixon lesson to heart"

"It is hard to imagine the 2016 presidential race without Hillary Clinton.

But Mrs. Clinton seems to have missed the most important lesson that everyone else learned from the Watergate scandal: The cover up is worse than the crime.

It is especially ironic since Mrs. Clinton started her legal career in Washington advising the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation.".....

When your enforcers are pellicano, Sid Vicious, Potts, horriuchi, Vernon Jordan, and James Carville, you think you can do just about anything without scrutiny. Obama ruined that for her when the administration went after Rosen and Atkinson. Now the media has a dog in the hunt when it comes to emails etc......

Now do we get to explain that one to our children, too?

Oh my.

I guess they should ask Bill.

He educated America’s youth about oral sex.

“If they were obama emails, it would be a non-issue. The media would make excuses and give it a pass.”

We are looking at the anatomy of a scandal here. Let’s say a Democrat clubs, skins alive and barbecues a baby seal, all the while taking selfies. If the press does not report it and continue to report it, it is not a scandal. Now, if a Republican straps his dog cage to the roof of his car for a vacation trip thirty years ago, it will be reported until protesters drive him from the campaign. The question here is why is the press suddenly making this a scandal when they underreported Hillary’s misplacing six billion dollars and was complicit if not responsible for the deaths of men working for her?

Me thinks the press thinks she is not the candidate they want. But it takes fortitude to assault Hillary. Frankly you’d be safer bad-mouthing the head of the Cosa Nostra.

This scandal and Clinton coverup should be called “Hillary's 18 minutes.”

Any time her sycophant protectors in media and politics make excuses or say “no big deal” or “this is just a bump in the road”, respond back with “Hillary's 18 minutes” and call it “Chapaqua Server Gate”.

Her tenure at the State Department was “Foreign Policy For Sale.”

Ever notice that when some dhimmicrat breaks the law, the MSM, if it bothers to cover the story at all, does so from the angle that the Republicans are attacking the poor widdle dem, whereas if a GOPer breaks the law, or not do anything wrong at all, or even if they fail to be supernatural like have telepathy, as with Walker last week, then you never see stories about how the dems are attacking the Republican? The story will be about how all Republicans are corrupt racists who slap women and kick puppies.

“As Hillary Clinton Stays Quiet About Private Emails, Republicans Seize Moment to Criticize Her”

Note the headline. This is liberal media bias in play.

The focus of the headline is not hillarys breech of protocol. But her republican critics. The ny times is not going after Hillary using a non government email address and server. Theyre going after her critics. How DARE they criticize her! Everytime a democrat does something wrong, the liberal media doesnt go after the democrat. It goes after the republican critics.

Remember the ny times reaction about Palins emails:

“Help Us Review the Sarah Palin E-Mail Records”

Has the ny times shown any interest in the contents of hillarys emails? Apparently not.
