RNC Chair Priebus: Clinton Scrubbing Email Server May Be ‘Criminal’
Which part? Having and using it? Not acknowledging it until caught? Not submitting the emails to the State Dept. or Congress? Deleting or wiping them after the subpoena?
RNC Chair Priebus: Clinton Scrubbing Email Server May Be ‘Criminal’

Near as I recall, Nixon was impeached for 16 minutes of missing tape.
Nixon resigned. He may have been a paranoid, but he believed in the integrity of the office and felt he had dishonoured it. There was very little chance of impeachment, but the optics of the time were much different.
Not being a lawyer I would say the last three of the questions definitely are illegal. Regarding the second question, haven’t a number of the last previous Secretaries of State used a combination of emails and paper, although all correspondence is the property of the people.
Copied this from a commentor on BreitBarts site. I think this pretty well fits profile of Hilda-beast.
Bill Clinton’s loving wife…
If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in which he
introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not
know about Hillary’s background, beware. As I was there for most of their
presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections.
Bill says: “In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor.”
The facts are: Hillary’s main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.
Bill says: “Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children’s rights project for poor kids.”
The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.
Bill says: “Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers.”
The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam; yes,flunked. It is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas – none – and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.
Bill says: “President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman.”
The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill’s support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter’s choice to be chairman.
Bill says: “She served on the board of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital.”
The facts are: Yes, she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Walmart board of directors for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.
Bill says: “Hillary didn’t succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994, but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance.”
The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals’ tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.
Bill says: “Hillary was the face of America all over the world.”
The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.
Bill says: “Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for children’s and women’s issues.”
The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico . A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer’s or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire NY delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize the Woodstock fiasco of 40 years ago.
….and this is the best that they can offer?
Of course it’s criminal. ALL of it.
Thanks for the clarification and let me rephrase.
Near as I can recall, one of the contributing factors of Richard Nixon resigning from the presidency was 16 minutes of missing tape.
In Hillary’s case, this is much more that the public knowing about funeral arrangements for the grandmother and wedding arrangements for her daughter.
HIllary effectively erased history and historians will have to work very hard to uncover the circumstances of her time as US Secretary of State. Could digress about how TV show Madam Secretary is trying to portray her in a good light, but we’ll move on.
You’re right on one point, though. The times have indeed changed and the deceivers are in charge.
Bill got away with molesting an intern and lying to congress. BO and Holder lies all the time with no consequenses, why should Shrillary be worried?
She dodges live fire bullets getting off planes don’t ya know.
Hillary: The Democrats’ Nixon
Well of course she might get caught discussing the “National Research Foundation for Cankles”.
Everyone with the least curiosity realizes Hillary has twisted her cankles and done a face plant.

“One, it reinforces the preexisting narrative of Secretary Clinton being overly secretive, calculating, dishonest, and playing fast and loose with the law. It’s a Leona Helmsley-like attitude: “only the little people” have to follow the rules–but not the Clintons!
It’s, well, Clintonesque–but without the charm.
Two, the scandal will be absolutely, 100 percent, connected to a slew of upcoming news stories, particularly since the Republicans control Congress: Will she be required to testify under oath? (Probably.) What, exactly, were in the emails? Were her aides’ emails also on the server? Were her aides’ emails destroyed, too? Can the deleted emails be recovered? Does it relate to Benghazi? Will any emails to/from Secretary Clinton emerge from other email accounts that she neglected to disclose? Did her emails cross-pollinate with Clinton Foundation fundraising? And on and on…
By refusing to allow a third party to examine her emails, Mrs. Clinton has created a who-dunnit mystery with an infinite shelf-life.
Three, you can most certainly connect the dots to script a scenario where Mrs. Clinton’s motives were self-serving (shielding herself from public scrutiny).”
Definitely, violated the record keeping statutes…and obstruction of justice for good measure.
Hillary isn’t judge, jury and record keeper of her own behaviour; no matter how much she wishes otherwise.

When Hillary Clinton Complained About Not Turning Evidence Over (October 29, 2003)
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2015/03/30/hypocrisy-alert-that-time-sen-clinton-said-the-bush-administration-might-have-something-to-hide-by-refusing-to-turn-over-documents-n1978436
I feel absolutely without doubt that our citizens, particularly my constituents, deserve to know all the facts of how the government was prepared or not. Yet, over this weekend, we learned that the 9/11 commission, an independent commission, charged with the important task of investigating how 9/11 happened, complains that it is not getting access to all the documents it needs.
This is a hugely important issue. And it’s not just important for this commission, but for these larger questions about access to information and how this government maintains the trust of the American people.
The lack of transparency on the part of the Bush administration has forced Governor King [sic; it’s Kean], former Republican Governor of New Jersey, to threaten subpoenas. This should not be happening.
As bad as it was for Vice President Cheney to keep secret how the administration developed its energy policy, this is far worse. The 9/11 commission is not trying to embarrass this president or any former president or anyone else. It is trying to learn what happened, what went wrong. In hopes that we can be better prepared to protect ourselves from any future attacks.
In taking their action to evade or avoid providing information, the administration unnecessarily raises the suspicion that it has something to hide, that it might use the claim of national security to hide mistakes that are literally questions of LIFE AND DEATH for Americans.
Question: “Which part? Having and using it? Not acknowledging it until caught? Not submitting the emails to the State Dept. or Congress? Deleting or wiping them after the subpoena?, asked Lance.
Answer: All of the above.
“Near as I recall, Nixon was impeached for 16 minutes of missing tape.”
It was his Admin Assist Mary-Joe who erased 16 minutes of the tape when she was preparing a transcription of the tapes for Congress. She testified is was a mistake that she had pushed the wrong button (the erasure frequency was on the tape)
Nixon was not impeached, he resigned.. a member of his administration had destroyed evidence
Obama needs to resign & Hillary prosecuted
There is a method to her madness. All the negative stories will get their play now. None of them will take Hillary out for good. 2016 will arrive and the MSM will call it old news. They will stop digging; they’ll stop asking questions; they’ll stop publishing the stories. Suddenly, Hillary criticism will be called “the war on women.” Words that are not sexist will be called sexist. We’re being set up for it already. Unless someone delivers a coup de grace in the next 8 months, Hillary will get the nod for the democrats and be tough to beat against a divided GOP. It’s truly a mad, mad, mad world!
Exactly. Shrillery will stonewall to the end and the MSM will let her get away with it.
I’m going to go out on a pretty thick limb here and suggest that if Hillary wins the Presidential Nomination then her deletions will not be deemed illegal and that if she loses the Nomination no one will care enough anymore to see her charged. Innocent by circumstance.
