Clinton email headache is about to get worse
The Hill ^ | May 28th, 2016 | By Julian Hattem

Posted on 05/28/2016 1:14:38 PM PDT by Mariner

Hillary Clinton’s email headache is about to get even worse.

A scathing inspector general’s report this week was just the first in what is likely to be a series of official actions related to her private server stemming from the FBI, a federal courthouse and Capitol Hill.

Clinton’s presidential campaign has failed to quiet the furor over the issue, which has dogged her for more than a year.

In the next few weeks — just as the likely Democratic presidential nominee hopes to pivot towards a general election — it will face its toughest scrutiny yet.

“All of that feeds into this overarching problem of public distrust of her,” said Grant Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University.

“To put it in slang terms, she’s got a pretty deeply held street rep at this point. This fits the street rep,” he added.

Clinton email headache SCANDAL

The Democrats that make up the media have been carefully avoiding that word. Don't hear the term "emailgate" used either.

Having been an inspector, I feel your pain. I have had to interview many of nervous folks.

Hatians eat mud pies (cookies made with mud as a filler) because of the Clintons:

“Bill & Hillary’s hyper-capitalist disaster: How the Clintons can apologize for a decade of deadly policies”

“...the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in Haiti brought the global media to the Caribbean nation, and Clinton-era trade policies were discovered to have ravaged the country and put countless Haitians on the edge of starvation. They eat dirt cakes in Haiti because of Clinton. Dirt cakes. Haitians mix mud with margarine and salt and sun-bake the tiles as a means to stave off hunger pains. That’s how much Washington screwed up Haiti....”

Wouldn't be the first time a Dem got off the hook:

From Wikipedia:

December 1996 - Several days after John M. Deutch left the position of Director of Central Intelligence, classified information was found on an unclassified computer at his home. Further investigation showed that he knowingly processed classified information regarding covert actions, Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information and the National Reconnaissance Program on unclassified computers connected to the Internet at his homes and office. In 1999, Attorney General Janet Reno declined to prosecute him.

The thought of who will be protecting her inside the Joint gives me a “Texas Wide Smile”

Her definition of “Handler” may change slightly.

I served with Wing Weanies before and after their “assignments”

Most of them retired at 20 yrs or before and half of those went to the Civilian side of the Pentagon ... some people don’t mind how sausage is made some don’t want to know cause they like it and others are repelled by the mere mention.

I’ve researched Federal regulations for over 25 years. I’m not going to help you get out from your ignorance. Research it yourself. Just read the amendments to the Constitution and research the Federal Register.

So will the road crew trying to clean that giant stain off the road. The bus Hillary throws him under will drag him for miles because he is too big to actually fit under it.

The rules you cite do not cover the only ELECTED office in the federal government; i.e. President. Again, he can only be elected, not selected.

I just did a search on Quora.com and it give a logical explanation:


There is no restriction against a felon running for the office of the President. Only the Constitution may spell those restrictions and it doesn’t address the issue. This is because the Constitution is minimalist in nature; the belief was (and remains) that the individual states’ would be sufficient to provide all the additional vetting of the candidates for the Office of the President of the United States. “

I think you have a reading comprehension problem. Either that, or you’re here defending Hillary.

So I guess the federal statute I just referenced doesn’t exist?

Or maybe it just doesn’t apply to Hillary, because she’s above the law?

Which is it?

The Federal statute you reference does not apply to an elected President or one in the process of being elected.

I’m done with this. No more discussion.

... dare to hope this may actually ruin Hillary for good, but she’s gotten away with so many felonies...

The New York Times and Washington Post don't control the flow of information anymore. They can't cover for crooked Hillary like they use to...
