Saturday Politics...Hillary and her Emails

It's Saturday politics and here's an interesting emailbag question : What's the real possibility that Hillary escapes her felonious email activity? Will a Clinton-appointed judge pigeonhole her problems with some legal maneuver?" ~~~~~ Hillary leads in polls ranking Democratic 2016 candidates, but is behind key Republican candidates. She's also seen as the least trustworthy candidate and is described as a liar. The Clintons know they must end the email scandal. So, Bill is on TV telling America how honest Hillary is and what a good President she'd be, in the "aw shucks" style he masters, adding that he's been out of politics so long he doesn't know what's going on - like the fox doesn't know where the chicken coop is. ~~~~~ How dangerous was Hillary's use of a private email server? National Security Agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers told a Senate hearing last week it would be an “opportunity” for spy agencies if the foreign minister of Russia or Iran used a private email server for official business. Senator Tom Cotton said he wanted the NSA director’s “professional opinion," asking whether Rogers considered the communications of top presidential advisors, even if unclassified, a top priority for foreign spy agencies. “Yes,” Rogers said. ~~~~~ Hillary's email spin : (1) She used a private server because : “I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.” But, Clinton’s team admitted she had an iPad and BlackBerry as Secretary of State, both on her private email server. (2) Hillary said she gave her emails to the State Department because it "sent a letter to former secretaries of state, not just to me, asking for some assistance in providing any work-related emails that might be on the personal email.” In truth, department spokesman John Kirby said “in the process of responding to [the Congress Benghazi investigation], State Department officials realized they had access to relatively few email records from former Secretary Clinton.” So State contacted her “during the summer of 2014 to learn more about her email use and the status of emails in that account.” The department also noted missing emails from other secretaries and contacted them in October 2014. (3) Clinton said : “I provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related.” In June, her advisor Sidney Blumenthal gave Congress his Clinton emails, including many she hadn’t given to State. Last week, the Defense Department found emails Hillary sent to General Petraeus that she hadn't provided. Her team now says there's a two-month gap at the start of her tenure at State when she used her private email address but not her personal server. All emails from that period are missing. The Clinton team doesn't know where they are. (4) Clinton said : “It was my practice to communicate with State Department and other government officials on their .gov accounts so those emails would be automatically saved in the State Department system to meet record-keeping requirements." Yet, Clinton top aides chief of staff Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin had private email addresses Hillary routinely used. (5) Clinton said : “There is no classified material” on the private server. With the latest State Department email release, there are 400 Clinton emails containing classified information. (6) Clinton said the server “was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches.” The last State email release shows her server was attacked five times by hackers linked to Russia. Her server was also stored at a private data center accessible to people with no security clearance. ~~~~~ Dear readers, Judge Andrew Napolitano said recently : “...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 State. Federal judges have various legal philosophies, but they are honest and don't bend to pressures, even from Clintonland.
