Hillary Clinton's Email Problems Deepen

The Patriot Post reports that after learning the FBI was able to recover some of the emails she had deleted, Hillary Clinton "launched into damage control," saying she didn’t determine which emails were public and which were private. Instead, she now claims, she let her lawyers do the job : “I didn’t look at them. I wanted them to be as clear in their process as possible. I didn’t want to be looking over their shoulder. If they thought it was work-related, it would go to the State Department. If not, then it would not.” ~~~~~ Since we know Hillary’s track record in telling the truth about the email scandal, we realize it will just be a matter of time before she creates another story in her effort to save herself. Judge Andrew Napolitano said Monday : “Her most recent troubles show that when she certified under oath, ‘under penalty of perjury,’ to a federal judge that she had surrendered all her emails to the State Department, in fact she had not.” Napolitano believes the FBI will recommend indicting Clinton over her email use at the State Department. ~~~~ The latest chapter in Hillary's email probe involves emails between General David Petraeus and her, first discovered by the Defense Department and passed to the State Department's Inspector General. They start on January 10, 2009, with Clinton using an older email account. By January 28 - a week after her swearing in - she had switched to using the private email address on her home server that she would use for the rest of her State Department service. There are fewer than 10 emails back and forth, officials said, and the chain ends on February 1. State Department spokesman John Kirby confirmed last week that State received the emails in the "last several days" and that they "were not previously in the possession of the department." Some of the newly discovered emails sent by State to Trey Gowdy's Committee involve Benghazi. There are also potentially unrelated emails about Libya, as well as personal emails State had previously decided not to send to the Committee. Among the emails released so far are revelations about what Clinton was doing the night of the Benghazi attacks, how her team coordinated with the White House to assign blame for the attacks, and the role of Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal in assisting Clinton on intelligence in the region. Kirby said they would be subject to Freedom of Information Act review like the rest of Clinton's emails, adding that the department will add the newly discovered emails to a review of record retention practices that Clinton's successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, initiated in March. "We have also informed Congress of this matter," he added. ~~~~~ The House Benghazi Select Committee plans to hold a public hearing with Clinton on October 22 to hear what the emails can reveal about the 9/11/2012 attack on the US diplomatic Benghazi compound that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. And, the Senate Judiciary Committee's GOP chairman wants to know if the Justice Department has a criminal investigation underway into Clinton's use of private email after the FBI recovered deleted emails from her server. The Senate Homeland Security Committee also is looking into the matter. ~~~~The Hill says Joe Biden’s close friends and advisors believe Hillary Clinton’s email probe and her dip in recent polls present him with a big opening : the American electorate wants 'authentic' and 'genuine' candidates. But Biden isn't an outsider - he served 36 years in Congress and 7 as VP. If Biden is going to run, he should announce now, before any Clinton indictment makes him look like a pirhana. ~~~~~ Dear readers, Clinton is now very clearly saying, “Hey, I was just a bystander here and my lawyers did all of it.” This giant shift shows she’s concerned about a felony indictment that goes beyond perjury. It's difficult to see how she'll avoid an indictment, other than to blame everything on her attorneys. But will Clinton lackeys agree to fall on a sword for the obviously crumbling Clinton political machine? Not likely.
