No Reason I Can Think Of…
By Mitch Berg
Remember Hillary using a private email server for her official State Department business, emails which later went missing?
Remember President Trump suggesting we should ask the Russians to give us copies?
Wrong country. Her emails were automatically copied to the Chinese. Every single one. Confirmed by the Inspector General at the Department of Justice.
Weird how I missed the headlines in all the major media.

It makes sense, as Glenn Reynolds notes, when you remember they are all Democrat operatives with bylines.

The failures of our elite “social leaders” in politics, media, and the academy, just keep piling up higher and higher, don’t they?

What difference at this point does it make?
Or, in context: With all due respect, the fact is my emails ended up in China. Was it because of a hack or just stupidity on my part? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again. So, let’s just move on.

Can’t you already hear the response?
“Hillary isn’t President; she’s not running either. It’s time to move on!”
Fine; Hillary skates. I’d like to know what the Light Worker knew and when he knew it.

It occurs to me that during Justice Kavanaugh’s walk through the Senate Judiciary Committee’s gauntlet, reprobate party Presidential candidate Corey “Spartacus” Booker threatened to release confidential committee documents to the press unless he got his way. When threatened with removal from the Senate, Spartacus responded, and I quote “Bring it.”
Reprobate party Presidential candidates, Kamala “Legs High” Harris and Amy Klobuchar made statements in support of this blatant, and criminal breech of security.
Considering MeMaw’s feckless disregard for the security of the United States, why would anyone consider people who demonstrate an appetite for the same dish for President? Compromising the safety of the country to further their political agenda is an established pattern for members of the reprobate party

I’m being marginalized and silenced by the SITD Modbot again. Pretty sure it’s because Rayciss.

Imagine of Hillary had been elected — Dow would be stuck at 16,000 and we’d be in the middle of impeachment hearings.

Looking more and more like Comey screwed this one up big time, not to mention Dear Leader’s efforts to keep secure data secure.

Let’s talk about what really matters in 2020: Hillary Clinton’s emails
I forget the particulars, but didn’t Ivanka and Jared use private email as well?

Emery, that’s stupid.
EVERY government official has two email accounts: one for official government business, which is subject to inspection by the public to see what the government is up to; and one which is private, for recipes and photos of grandkids. Some even have a third, for official political party business. It’s required by law and there are strict policies against mixing business with personal with political.
The reason Hillary’s case is different is a government official declines to use the official government business account, but instead sets up a private email network for official government business, so official government business is conducted secretly, out of view of public scrutiny. That violates law and policy and we already knew about that.
What makes this latest revelation even worse is that the government official who was circumventing the official account, was so incompetent that she let the secret government business to be forwarded to hostile nations.
Now, let’s talk about how terrorists knew Ambassador Stevens would be at a particular consulate at a particular time so they could organize an ambush. That takes intel, the kind that a prudent nation would keep under wraps. Unless the boss is not only a crook, but also an idiot.
That’s what difference it makes.

I win: Emery confirms that doesn’t matter.
Also, I forget the particulars, but I’ve forgotten when Ivanka and Jared were Secretaries of State.

If you’re ever accused of a federal crime, provide the prosecutor an affidavit stating that A) You din’t mean it, and B) you’re not currently, and never will run for President.
Should get you off, np.

So whose going to take the fall for her? As much as some people may want Hillary is never going to end up in a orange jumpsuit, shes just too powerful and probably has enough blackmail material of enough powerful people that she wont even get a slap on the wrist.
August 23rd, 2019 at 12:58 pm
PoD, no one is going to take a fall. We, unfortunately, now live in a country with two kinds of justice, the one for the so-called elites and the one for the rest of us.
Another aspect of institutional failure that has not changed and is indeed becoming exacerbated is the lack of accountability for failure and wrongdoing. This is evident in the fact that not a single person has been held accountable for our disastrous wars in the Middle East, and in fact, some people have even been rewarded with positions within the current administration. Not a single person has been held responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. There’s not a single person held to account for the opioid crisis, which continues to ravage our nation. And there is not a single person who has actually been held accountable for this now-revealed Russia hoax, in which the upper-echelons of the Justice Department, FBI, and CIA conspired in what amounted to an attempted coup and an attack the legitimacy of the president and our electoral system.
From this. There’s much more there too.

Maybe she was just trying to make sure she had a backup for her emails? After all, her tech support didn’t seem very competent technically, although they were completely devoted politically, so maybe she was worried about her private server?
….
A guy can dream, can’t he?
Hey, wait a minute. Those went to a gmail.com address! Google doesn’t delete anything! Don’t go asking the Chinese for the emails, raid Google!

“It’s been known since last year that Obama and Clinton corresponded occasionally via her private account, but the White House has insisted Obama did not know she relied on it routinely and exclusively for official business.”
