Gov. Palin: I faced tough questions over email, so should Hillary Clinton
Fox News ^ | Monday, March 9, 2015 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 03/09/2015 1:19:36 PM PDT by kristinn

The latest Obama administration scandal involving Hillary Clinton’s emails has many Americans discussing private email accounts used by government officials, and clarification is in order.

It’s appropriate and proper for a politician to use private email for personal and campaign business. This is what I did as governor of Alaska in order to be in compliance with the law, which requires that personal or campaign business not be conducted using public resources such as a government email account. There is a firm line separating the two.

However, that’s not what we see with this Clinton email scandal. As Secretary of State under Obama, Hillary Clinton used private email accounts on a privately maintained server 100 percent of the time for 100 percent government business. That’s unethical, no doubt illegal, and flies in the face of all claims of transparency. Hillary Clinton and her staff weren’t trying to be in compliance with the law; they were skirting it altogether.

SNIP

The release of my emails was a great boon for Alaska’s tourism industry because dozens of national reporters descended on Alaska to pour through tens of thousands of pages of my emails looking for some smoking gun. They even crowd-sourced the work out to the general public to help them look for dirt! They were sorely disappointed.

55,000 emails.

That’s a big number.

Big enough for the MSM to stop right there.

Ya think they could ask, perhaps, what was the total emails available on the server?

I’m sure they would ask follow up questions if the server was in Sarah Palin’s home.

Not on this thread, but on the Shrillary email subject; I wonder if Trey Gowdy is aware of what many Freepers think of him and his rope-a-dope running out the clock, a la Issa, so that apparently, hopefully, Hilldabeest can skate?

Oh....I just remembered....he doesn’t give a #&€! about the law or the voters; he’s been inkled in regard to a gig on SCOTUS, and is selling his Country and his eternal soul in an effort to make that happen. Never mind.
JMHO, of course.

Maybe we should actually try them. :

Let's open the FR popcorn franchise! We'll be meeellionaires in no time while finally having lots of fun. We'll abolish all Freepathons with a tiny sliver of our profits....

If Hillary got 1 / 1 millionth of the investigations into her back ground as Palin her and Bubba would be in jail. Reporters were moving in next door to Palin. Reporters were attacking her family mercilessly. Reporters were making jokes and laughing when Palin’s daughter was assaulted. Reporters had hackers (my assumption) break in to her email. What has Hillary faced in her 40 years of crimes?

The old media has had Hillery’s back. They have actively protected her and Bill.

“The issue is the revolution.”

And that’s what makes them the disingenuous, lying, oily creeps that they are, with the possibility of their gaining absolute power and then becoming disingenuous, lying, oily, murdering creeps.

IMHO

I read where those 55,000 emails were provided in PAPER format. Will take even longer to figure out that this only accounts for 1 in 5 of her emails.

That would be the BEST thing we could do!
I actually dread seeing those red bars at the top of my ping page! LOL!

Wouldn't it be great if we could find the new location of the Journolist and screen save what they are trying to do?

I sure hope there is a black cell of PGP-busting e-mail surfers over at The Blaze or Redstate looking for just that list. In fact, I hope Horowitz has people looking for all the server and e-mail connections NSA likes to analyze, looking for the multiple networks serving the New JournoList, and identifying all the contributors and supporters (and the people paying for the IT services).

Just daydreaming hopefully.

Dang it, you already purchased the popcorn maker and have it revved up with a couple of customers.

Just in time for the Hillary pretty in pink remake, um...er... press conference.

Another question that I haven’t seen anyone ask. Who paid for this private email account, the Clintons, her PACs, the Clinton Foundation?
