Remember 2012, when the most vulnerable issue for Democrats was the overwhelmingly unpopular imposition of ObamaCare? The Establishment stuck Republicans with Mitt Romney, who couldn’t use the issue because he was responsible for imposing ObamaCare’s prototype on Massachusetts.
Since it looks like Obama will keep Shrillary out of jail, she remains the Democrat frontrunner for 2016. Her most vulnerable point is her illegal use of a private email server for top secret communications, presumably to cover her influence peddling activities. When the server was subpoenaed by Congress, she tried to wipe it — an arrogant crime that would land you or me in federal prison for some time.
Now the Establishment is using the media to hype Carly Fiorina. Here is what she says about Shrillary’s server issues:
Fiorina said that it’s “absolutely crystal clear” that Clinton broke the rules and that she’s trying cover it up.
She pointed out that Clinton had a “server in her basement” for years, then decided to “wipe it clean” two years after leaving the State Department and before her presidential run.
But it is alleged that Fiorina has server issues too:
My name is Charles Nielsen and I was an employee with HP from 1/2000 until 8/2001. I worked in the Boise, Idaho Data Center. I was the sole Customer Engineer allowed to work on Carly’s Private Server. It was kept under lock and key and I was the only engineer allowed to work on it under the direct supervision of the Data Center Manager; I was new to the company and was used as a dupe. In March of 2001, just before Carly Fiorina had taken control of HP from Walter Hewlett, I was asked to remove the 5 hard drives from her personal server and physically destroy them with a hammer. I asked why I would destroy hard drives that at the time were worth over $15k apiece and I was told because she said so. Shortly after destroying all evidence of her conspiracy to take over the company she removed Walter Hewlett from the board of directors and made off with approximately $500 million dollars from the company with the rest of the board of directors ($100 million for Carly personally). All of her emails and all working documents were destroyed. I have kept my silence until now when I find it highly offensive that after laying off close to 30k workers and sending stock prices into the gutter ( $55 a share when Fiorina took over to a little less than $20 a share under her leadership) she is pretending she would never behave like Hillary has. Carly Fiorina is as corrupt as they come.
It would be nice for the mainstream media to use its resources to vet this guy so we know how seriously to take his allegations. But as we learned from the rise of Obama, vetting is not something the media does anymore. It digs up dirt on people it wants to destroy, and covers for those it wants to advance.
Right now it wants to advance Fiorino, I mean Fiorina — and not because she can win. Her record in both the business and political worlds consists of one failure precariously balanced atop another. In a general election the whole mess would collapse. That’s not a bug; it’s a feature.
Rush Limbaugh explains why the media has been hyping Fiorina and hiding her record:
“Because they want to get rid of Trump,” Limbaugh said. …
“Look, this is very, very important for everybody to understand. And the reason it’s very, very important is this is how they choose our nominees for us. …
“[I]t’s not that they love Carly Fiorina. They love what supporting her now might enable them to accomplish, and that is get rid of a Republican who can win.”
Romney could have beaten Obama in 2008. But mysteriously he was surpassed that year by the worst candidate the GOP could come up with, a sellout universally hated by the conservative base, John McCain.
Like the designated loser McCain, Fiorina is a tool the media will discard when she has served her usefulness.
Carly laid off 30,000 employees at H-P.
Sounds like just the candidate to take a swipe at the hundreds of thousands of excess government employees...
but hillary is still guilty and this paid shill is lying
Not a Carly supporter...nor do I hate her...but what email issues she might have had is her business along with her employer’s business at the time. What Hillary did was criminal on a national level.

In 2002, Carly was America’s leading CEO for firing workers. As CEO of HP, she fired 33,000 workers according to the San Jose Mercury. She shipped American jobs to both India and China according to the Center for Industrial Competitiveness. Fiorina cut workers salaries by $130 million while collecting $90 million for herself according to the book, “Greed and Good.” While other CEO’s during the dot.com crisis took pay cuts, Carly Fiorina took a 231% raise according to Executive Excess of 2003.
Anyone know what Hillary, Gina McCarthy and Lois Lerner all have in common?
They all ran departments and all had private email servers. That being the case, my question is, what other department heads are doing this? 1 is an anomaly. 2 is questionable. 3 is an pattern.
My bet is there are more.
Amnesty is Carly’s problem
She can use a private server. To date, she is a private citizen.
Totally agree, this is a fatuous and vacuous analogy that doesn't hold water, and this article should have never been written nor posted. It's just a pretty ridiculous comparison. There are valid reasons to go after Carly, but this ain't one of them.
I don’t like Carly but this is beyond insane. Carly was NOT SOS
Eric Holder would be a good place to look
Be wary of this story!
The meme they may be trying to create is that “everybody does this” in order to get Hillary off the hook.
It is a typical Clinton MO to muddy the waters in the low information voters eyes so they are at the least, more confused by the whole issue, and therefore ready to be “educated” by the democrats—or—think that since “everybody does it”, Hillary is no more guilty than “everybody”.
So what? It was ship jobs overseas like Apple and MS or lose the company. As for her raises, the board gave them to her and it is the company’s business not ours. I wish they could have afforded to pay her more.
Pray America wakes
All true.
My only reference to the layoffs was that she seems qualified to do the same in D. C.
I agree. Petraeus was convicted for doing something which was a tiny fraction of what Hillary did. Did Fiorina do something illegal with the server?
This is just an attempt to provide cover for Hillary. If she was a Republican, she would have been in jail already (probably since Whitewater or the cattle futures insider trading). She continues to break the law because she assumes she can get away with it. So far there is very little evidence she is wrong about that.
Democrats like Bill and Hill have a not-so-secret Santa. The GOPe. The reason they don't go to jail while people like Scooter Libby do is that the Republican Party is a bunch of vacuous orifices.
All this tells me is VF is way more tech savvy than Hill.
Show us where CF had gov/t classified documents in her server and I might be interested.
What Hill did was traitorous, what CF did was just good business practice, HUGE diff, and I am not a CF fan at all.
No bias here
CF, not VF

Amazing difference in private vs government enterprise. In the private sector when money
becomes scarce you cut items including personnel. In the government sector when money
becomes scarce you just increase taxes/fees on the paying public.
