Bill’s perjury was “just about sex”. Hillary’s mishandling Top Secret material is an “email flap”. The way things are framed shows the bias of these writers.
“National security disaster” would be just a tad more accurate than “email flap” wouldn’t it?
The hucksters in the media are missing the point - the original document and classification is the only thing that matters by the letter of the law. It does not matter what she saw or did not see nor how her staff “sanitized” the emails.
Whoever emailed them to her private email address committed a felony. Whoever received them on a private email server committed a felony. Whoever KNEW that she was doing this committed a felony. This is ugly. She seems to be setting herself up for a “I did not know” defense, but I don’t see too many career bureaucrats or people around her that will eat huge Federal prison sentences. She does not inspire that kind of loyalty and I promise you there are emails within State where employees expressed concern about the situation or simply refused to forward stuff.
The “I did not know” defense will not work if she was told this was a bad idea or illegal.
