When Hillary’s Server Meets Obama’s Pen
National Review ^ | March 11, 2015 | by Stanley Kurtz

Would a Hillary Clinton presidency rerun the corruption, secrecy, and paranoia of the 1990s? Sure, but that’s not the half of it. The larger problem would be a marriage of Hillary’s “Go to hell” attitude with Obama’s dangerous expansion of executive authority. What happens when someone who thinks “the rules don’t apply to me” is entrusted with custodianship of our ultimate rulebook, the Constitution?

Symbolically, Obama began his questionable expansion of executive authority in 2012 by gutting the work requirements of the 1996 welfare reform bill, a joint product of the Clinton administration and newly dominant congressional Republicans. Voters may think a Hillary presidency would mean a return to those days of relative cooperation. In fact, Obama’s abusive expansion of executive authority has handed Hillary a path around the sort of compromises she never wanted Bill to make to begin with.

Hillary quickly endorsed Obama’s executive order on immigration, which of course he’d repeatedly said would overstep his presidential powers. The public may have been thinking, “Hillary is taking a liberal line on immigration.” But Hillary was probably thinking, “My powers! He’s expanding my powers.”

Just before the ill-fated press conference on her emails, Hillary took a hard pro-Obama line on the latest skirmish over presidential authority...

Hillary is indeed playing all her cards...but I sense the deck may have been restacked by a mole somewhere along the line.

Perhaps ? The servers, emails, files were lost in the Benghazi fire.
Some times fact is stranger than fiction.

Watergate hearings coming back to haunt Hillary Clinton.
What did she know ? And when did she know it ?
What is she hiding ?
Why the cover up ?
As the saying goes “ It’s not the crime, but the cover up that caused Richard M. Nixon to resign “

I thought all government communications were considered classified, especially at the Secretary of State level.
So all communication going through Clinton’s own server was both not secured and were violations of law.
There is no way in God’s green earth that the email was non-classified when passing between the SOS and others.
There is also the issue of any work product also developed on Clinton’s personal non-government computers.

The Constitution can be looked upon as a Form restraining government officials from becoming oppressive, a form within which the three branches operate. What we are seeing by the election of the creature in the White House and the candidacy and ultimate election of Hillary is the rise of formless powers who are bound only by their own will. These people are dangerous for our type of government.
