When the Clintons do it, that means that it’s not illegal: FBI Refuses To Cooperate In Hillary Clinton Email Server Probe

More spontaneity…

Because Hillary’s private server was completely legal.

A staffer who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of State is expected to plead the Fifth rather than testify before Congress.
Lawyers for Bryan Pagliano indicated the former IT employee will assert his constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment not to answer questions from the House Select Committee on Benghazi, citing the “current political environment.”
Pagliano is scheduled to appear before the House Benghazi Committee on Sept. 10.

Awkward.

The Last Days of Hillary

Hillary Clinton has spent a third of her adult life trying to become president. All for nothing.
The first time around, she wasted $200 million just to lose to Obama. $11 million of that money came from the notoriously “flat broke” couple. This time around she was determined to take no chances.
Together with her husband she built up a massive war chest using money from foreign governments and speaking fees from non-profits, funneled into her own dirty non-profit and a complex network of unofficial organizations staffed by Clinton loyalists, secured an unofficial endorsement from Obama and carefully avoided answering questions or taking positions on anything. There was no way she could lose.
Now she’s losing all over again.

Still, I’m reminded of that Kathy Bates character in the movie Misery. Not sure why.

Mark Steyn summarizes;

So America’s allies knew Hillary’s system was insecure and tried to work around it. We can assume America’s enemies also knew, and tried to burrow within it. So emails about Ambassador Stevens’ travel and security plans wind up on a mom’n’pop server in a Colorado toilet – and Ambassador Stevens ends up dead.

Uh oh.

In short: Information at the “TOP SECRET//SI//TK//NOFORN” level is considered exceptionally highly classified and must be handled with great care under penalty of serious consequences for mishandling. Every person who is cleared and “read on” for access to such information signs reams of paperwork and receives detailed training about how it is to be handled, no exceptions–and what the consequences will be if the rules are not followed.

Hillary Rodham Snowden

The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.

It’s a good thing she’s a Clinton, and not a Petraeus.

Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
The request follows an assessment in a June 29 memo by the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies that Mrs. Clinton’s private account contained “hundreds of potentially classified emails.” The memo was written to Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management.

That’ll happen.

Where SDA boldly goes, others eventually follow.

Most of the American electorate has probably been ready for a woman president for some time. But that woman must have the right array of qualities and ideally have risen to prominence through her own talents and not (like Hillary Clinton or Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) through her marriage to a powerful man.

I outdid myself with that poll question, I think.
