Hillary Clinton comes off as confused, myopic and downright clueless in a number of email exchanges that have made headlines thanks to recent inquiries from a number of news outlets.
In one exchange, brought to light after the AP released emails it obtained through a FOIA request, Clinton doesn’t know that she’s supposed to be talking with her adviser, Huma Abedin, about a Pakistani-Taliban over the remains of a crashed U.S. drone. Rather, Clinton believes she’s discussing interior furnishings.
Here’s the relevant portion of that exchange. It’s of note that Clinton refutes her own post-scandal assertions that she only used one mobile device while serving at the State Department:
The AP isn’t the only news outfit to have recently uncovered some interesting tendencies Clinton exhibited, through her emails, while she served as Secretary of State. ProPublica and Gawker have published a pair of stories that delve into Clinton’s relationship with longtime ally Sidney Blumenthal, calling into question her assertion that the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was a surprise reaction to an anti-Muslim video.
Only two weeks before the Sept. 11, 2012 attack, Clinton was receiving detailed intelligence on the situation on the ground in Libya. All of this was being communicated via her private email account. That account, according to congressional investigators, has not yielded any Benghazi-related emails from among the trove of “official” documents Clinton turned over to the State Department. Does that mean Clinton intentionally omitted exchanges like these before handing over her State Department emails to the Feds?
“One memo was sent on August 23, 2012, less than three weeks before Islamic militants stormed the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi,” Gawker reported. “It cites ‘an extremely sensitive source’ who highlighted a string of bombings and kidnappings of foreign diplomats and aid workers in Tripoli, Benghazi and Misrata, suggesting they were the work of people loyal to late Libyan Prime Minister Muammar Gaddafi.
“While the memo doesn’t rise to the level of a warning about the safety of U.S. diplomats, it portrays a deteriorating security climate. Clinton noted a few days after the Benghazi attack, which left four dead and 10 people injured, that U.S. intelligence officials didn’t have advance knowledge of the threat.”
The significance of that observation is hard to emphasize too greatly. Scroll to the bottom of Gawker’s story and read the embedded memo from Aug. 23, 2012, which were taken “verbatim” from Libya intelligence memos obtained by ProPublica. There’s a lot of detail in the descriptions of the declining security in Libya — and no mention of a video.
I think with the debacles of Kerry and Hillary at SOS, we have seen the overwhelming need to have Executives, not politicians, at that position. People such as Condoleeza Rice
“From my standpoint, Obama has succeeded in overwhelming the system and has created what amounts to a dictatorship.
May God help us!”
This country’s Constitution protects us from this by establishing Congress’s right to impeach and remove President.
Since John Boehner refuses to initiate impeachment proceedings, it is he that is in the highest breach of the Constitution. Obama is just getting away with what he can, as our elected officials stand back and tacitly approve of his actions by their own non-actions.
Hillaryous - a grotesque cold mess.
Hopefully they will start putting the heat on Huma, with her husband Anthony Weiner, who loves to get his face (among other things) in front of a camera, speaking out to defend her. Imagine the damage that blithering idiot could do to Hillary and Huma in the course of defending them!
This could be used as a pretext to claim e-mails were personal. Have a long sequence of emails discussing some sensitive topic and then have one about furnishings—then label the entire thread “personal” because of that one.
Au contraire, mon ami.
(A smidgeon of French lingo there to demonstrate a degree of fondness for little froggies.)
Condolezza Rice studied her statecraft at the feet of Madeleine Albright's father.
If you are a moderate (stands for nothing) or one left of the center line, Condi would be a good fit. Eventually all of us would be having fits, however, as she is a dedicated member of the UN's darling CFR and the NWO.
There had to be a go-between. Somebody had to receive classified info on their .gov email address and copy/paste or forward (or at least characterize) it to their super secret Clinton private email address in order to get it to Hillary.
Wouldn’t that be a security breach - routing classified material through a non-secure, non-governmental server? Huma is the best bet.
I can’t believe that our founders didn’t allow a way for our administrations to be held to the law.
I can’t believe that only the DOJ, the Atty General, who the PRESIDENT appoints are the only way to prosecute for crimes.
There has to be more to it than that.
Otherwise ANY regime who is in power cannot be prosecuted because WHAT corrupt regime would investigate and prosecute itself???
How did Nixon get in so much hot water then? Did his own guys turn on him?
The country’s missing a justice department. There’ll be no justice until Holder is gone. Or until Loretta Lynch is replaced after she gets approved. Or until a conservative becomes president. Or maybe never considering the direction of this country.
They don’t need no stinking security clearance. Just ask 0bama. He ain’t got and couldn’t get a security clearance if he tried.
Hillary lies???
Here’s my shocked face
:O
Isn’t confusion one of the after symptoms of a stroke where you fall down hit your head and have to be hospitalized for a week and wear myopic glasses afterward. :-)
What a hoot that fabricated household ‘accident’ that was!
She was drunk and fell over a footstool?
Wonder what she fed Vince Foster before Craig Livingstone took him for a ride to Marcy Park?
really, why the putdown on Rice?
The whole idea was a politician vs someone who is not.
Are you suggesting Rice is more of a politician than a bureaucrat?
If you, then you are out in Lala land.
It is not a case of political persuasion(conservative, liberal, moderate or whatever), it is whether you are executing from politics or other than politics.
If I had Warren Christopher instead of Rice, it had the same meaning.
“I can’t believe that our founders didn’t allow a way for our administrations to be held to the law.”
you better go back to your old civics books to understand that yes, the founders are accountable to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of govt.
Just because our current ineffective Speaker is unwilling to pursue his constitutional duty does not mean the founders did not provide for such.
