CNN anchor Carol Costello got a little candid this morning while describing Hillary Clintons decision to use private email for government matters while she was Secretary of State.
Clinton is currently embroiled in controversy as it was revealed that she possibly violated government protocol during her tenure in the Obama administration. Explicit regulations, put in place shortly before she took office, state that government emails must be retained on the public server. After she left State, Clinton willingly turned over 55,000 pages of emails for public archiving, but that now leaves people to wonder what emails she could possibly be withholding, if at all.
During her CNN broadcast on Tuesday morning, Costello was flabbergasted by the ex-secretarys decision to use private emails. Why would Hillary Clinton do such a gosh, I dont want to use the adjective I have in my head, she asked Daily Beast EIC John Avlon in the clip Grabien target=_blank>flagged by Grabien. Why would she do this?
After Avlon asserted Clinton and her camp are trying to control the message by handing over the emails and suggested they were being somehow more transparent by doing so, Costello finally aired her true feelings: Ill say what the adjective was in my head: It seems kind of like a dumb move on Hillary Clintons part because surely she knew this would come out at some point in time.
Watch the clip below, via CNN:
Dumb move means “not her fault”.
Email is recorded not just on the users pc. The emails can be recovered.
Precisely: “dumb,” certainly not corrupt.
Sure. But change it to a Republican, and it’s a lapse in ethics, a gross misconduct, a crime.
“dumb move” = Klinton don’t need no stinking oversight.
That’s for the unwashed masses. On your knees, slave!
“It is a law, and breaking it is a felony.”
That is what I thought.
Yet the article describes it as a “violation of protocol”:
“Clinton is currently embroiled in controversy as it was revealed that she possibly violated government protocol during her tenure in the Obama administration.”
The press whitewashes with lies and distortion.
She registered a private domain for this, and presumably used a private mail server. The people running that server can make sure there aren't any copies. There will be copies in the recipient's mailboxes, and on the backups of those mail servers, but finding them all would be nearly impossible without a record of who she sent email to.
The timing is interesting. She floated a balloon about a week that she would announce earlier than excpected. Since then, the Foundation Scandal comes to the forefront and now the email scandal. It might be that she was preparing to throw Obama under the bus. But Obama’s bus wheels are much bigger than Hillary’s (or Bill’s) and he will never let her be president over his carcass...Just sayin’.
If Petraeus gets prosecuted so should Hitlery
By her recent admittance in a talk she gave in Santa Clara, Hillary's a "hoarder" - she doesn't know when to let go. Only in her case she brags about it, in order to bring her followers down with her. What's incredible is that they haven't figured out she's working against them, that her attitude is that if she's going down, she's taking as many if "her own" with her as she can.
Oh well, can't fix stupid.
The words “Hillary Clinton” just scream dumb.
Oh it’s just a silly little dumb move. Not a very serious national security breach! OH NO nonononono.
Violated government protocol is when you put people in the wrong order in a receiving line. This is a patently illegal premeditated act. But hey, what difference at this point, does it make?
...BUT the media will still take up residence in Hillary’s rectum and do everything in their power to cover up all her misdeeds and get her elected.
Oh, it’s ok. Josh Earnest just reassured that Hillary’s staff is investigating the matter and is sure the government emails and her personal emails were looked at and sent properly. Is
Breaking Federal law isn’t corrupt?
I was being sarcastic. That is the MSM take on the situation... Knee slap, laugh, funny, “Oh Hillary messed up on that one. That was dumb, but, no, she is not criminal sub-human filth! Of course not.”
Hillary is as corrupt as any human who ever walked this Earth.
Sorry, I didn’t see that it was sarcasm. I 100% agree with your assessment of the old witch.
