Re: State Dept IG Finds Hillary Clinton Violated Government Records Act

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  While you and others may think it is a witch hunt, others feel it is a legitimate issue.  -  Brady

I agree, if it's not a witch hunt, then by God bring the rest of the Secretaries of State into the conversation and investigation who did the same thing.  Who wants to give the other 4 a free pass and grill only one of them?  Not me, and I'm sure you would agree.

The OIG, which is headed by an Obama appointee, did look at the past 5 Secretaries of State and their email usage.  They concluded it was basically Powell and Clinton who used private email accounts, and Clinton was the only one who had a dedicated server in which she could maintain control over the emails.

Powell shouldn't have done it either.  My issue with Clinton is she almost certainly did this so she could maintain control over the emails (and be able to delete them) and the fact she lied about having permission to use the server.

I understand you don't have an issue with her lying, possibly putting national security issues at risk and trying to hide emails, but that doesn't mean other reasonable people may disagree with your opinion.

How, specifically was national security put at risk?

I get the hypothetical aspect of the issue. And I think that Clinton and Powell deserve some criticism.
But, let's move away from hypothetically, possibly, maybe, etc, and move to actually.

Specifically, what troop movements, weapon systems, battle plans, etc were put out there in those emails?

I've heard of some emails that were retroactively classified as secret about a year after they were sent, and frankly that does do much for me.

And, hasn't she released tens of thousands of emails? So much for hiding.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I haven't read the emails she made available for the investigation to know what was in them.  Also, we don't know what was in those emails that she had "wiped" from her server since and she deemed them personal and had them deleted.

Her actions in using the server were reckless for national security.

A hypothetical, rather than an actual risk,  it seems.

Re: State Dept IG Finds Hillary Clinton Violated Government Records Act

Don't forget there is a FBI Criminal investigation on-going over this issue. Have we ever had a candidate for president involved in a active FBI investigation while running for president?

The Clinton team is in a panic over the IG report released yesterday. They actually had Clinton calling in to cable TV news programs to try her best to spin this terrible news. Again this just reinforces the belief that she is a liar, dishonest and untrustworthy. Time after time she lied with her statements yesterday!

I'm worried that this will steal the spotlight from the tenth Benghazi investigation.

Well, I guess that did it for you, Common.  You won't be voting for her, I guess.  I'm feelin' the Bern, and you're feelin' the Don!
