We can't reward Hillary Clinton with the White House for breaking all the rules
Fox News.com ^ | May 21, 2016 | Cal Thomas

“Rules are made to be broken” is a saying that has many variations, but perhaps no one has summed up Hillary Clinton’s attitude (and Bill’s, too) about rules more than the late science-fiction writer, Robert A. Heinlein, who said: “I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”

In its report on how Hillary Clinton handled her “private” emails while serving as secretary of state, the State Department’s inspector general (IG) has found that Hillary Clinton disregarded cyber security guidelines when she used a private computer server. She continues to deny she did anything wrong and falsely claims she turned over “all” of her emails to the State Department after she left office. In fact, she, or members of her team, deleted about 30,000 of them before an investigation of her practices began.

The IG’s report chides her, saying she should have “preserved any federal records she created and received on her personal account by printing and filing those records with the related files in the Office of the Secretary. At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department’s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act.”

Why is it that people talk (media spin) about rules rather than breaking laws!

According to Hillary there is “no controlling legal authority”.

Unfortunately, “deserve” has nothing to do with it. If she commits to hand out enough free stuff, she’ll have her 47% base even if she killed someone.

Out of curiosity, I watched an episode of the Daly Show on hulu. They were trying to spin Hitlery’s breaking the rules as “She knows how to get things done and doesn’t let pesky details like rules and laws stand in her way.” They were also trying to spin her unlikability as “No one likes their boss. So therefore she would be a great boss (President) because no one likes her.”

Seriously.

They are really desperate. This is good.

Don’t let them get away with this ridiculous, desperate spinning.

Related: I am hearing a lot of testing the waters for Faux-cahontas. It sounds like the Dems are desperately spinning trying to salvage Hitlery’s candidacy and at the same time are exploring options for her replacement. (Interesting idea for a novel: What would happen if POTUS were in jail? Or if a candidate was under indictment and things looking bad during the election?)

Heinlein was speaking from the perspective of a private citizen - not someone who would be playing a key role in making and enforcing the law.

“We can’t reward Hillary Clinton with the White House for breaking all the rules”

How humiliating would it be to see an unhung murderess elected president?

One of the facts that IS RARELY mentioned,when Hillary left the State Department and was supposed to have turned over all her emails and all information,her server was still a secret and was for years,UNTIL THE hacker Guccifer was found to have hacked SidneyBlumenthals emails and Hillary’s hidden email account was revealed which led to the server.
Now in the interim there were Foia law suits which were closed because it was stated that the State Department had no more of Hillary’s emails,those cases had to be reopened,now Hillary knew all that time she had thousands of more emails on that hidden server all all along.
If not for that hacker she would have gotten away with it.
That lying scumbag should not be allowed anywhere near the White House
