The E-mail Scandal Won’t Doom Hillary
by JONAH GOLDBERG March 6, 2015
But it should make liberals feel uneasy about continuing to support her. Historically, the Clintons have proved to be politically indestructible. To paraphrase the movie Aliens, to truly destroy the Clinton-Industrial Complex, you’d have to nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. Given that alone, I doubt that the unfolding controversy over Hillary’s e-mail schemes spells her doom. The basic details are as follows: In 2009, a week before she started her job as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton had a personal Internet server registered at her home address. She then used her own domain name, “clintonemail.com,” to conduct all of her business — for the State Department, but also presumably the Clinton Foundation and other matters, be they nefarious or high-minded. The server was registered under the name Eric Hoteman — someone who doesn’t exist.
But it’s almost surely Eric Hothem, a Washington financial adviser and former aide to Clinton who, according to the Associated Press, has been a technology adviser to the family. Tony Soprano would be envious. This system allowed Clinton to maintain control over her e-mail correspondence. No third-party copies would be stored on, say, government or Google hard drives. Matt Devost, a security expert, succinctly explained to Bloomberg News the point of having your own private e-mail server: “You erase it and everything’s gone.”

Exactly. This is absolutely gigantic. She operated a global clearing house of every secret we have on an open line, at the level of the Cabinet. This level of treason is almost inconceivable.
Podesta will have his work cut out for him on this. Here’s hoping his latest career move is a short one. How many ‘cleanup in aisle 7’ moments will her crew be able to take?
Seems a HUGE double standard if Hitlary is not charged but one of her former “employees” lost his job for doing exactly the same thing.
How the hell do the Clinton’s keep dodging the hangman’s noose? Amazing!
Why? That's the question that no one is answering even though it's being asked. The responses we get are that she wants everyone to have access to the emails and has released 55,000 pages (whoop-de-doo- a running email could be 10 pages alone) and that Colin Powell and Condi Rice had private emails. Those responses are not answers to why she didn't use an official state department email for official business.
Unless she gives a good reason (I don't know that there is a good reason), speculation will run rampant about her purposes.
The Donkeys are xcrewed. They put all of their rotten eggs in on hellinahandbasket. The MSM’s talking up of Jebba the Butt for the GOPe primaries is cankle’s only hope.
Then there was Bobby Kennedy.
In reality Nuc from orbit might be a little over the top
She had a lot of emails. Just who was she communicating with? Are we really to believe that no one who received email from her noticed her email address? Not Obama, nor Valerie, nor any other cabinet or military leaders? Wouldn’t THEY have them archived somewhere, or did they all have private emails, too?

Without an answer the only think left is speculation. Their evasive spin on this is speeding up the rotation of the planet.
I’ve heard several other Democrats mentioned, all with pretty low voter recognition. One is Amy Klobuchar. If they were to nominate her, they’d have to count on the Republicans nominating someone with a name even harder to spell. Maybe Jarrod Saltalamacchia (if he is old enough), not a Walker or Bush or Cruz or Perry.

Just checked—Jarrod will be 31 in 2016, so the Republicans would have to pick someone else.
The media my try to cover for Hillary, but the public will never buy it.
Witness the Hillary book tour. Hillary was given a $14 million advance. How many books were sold.
Despite what the MSM is selling, the public ain’t buying.
