To be fair, Hillary won the Democratic debate last night on points and style and a lot of Democrats will continue to support her. However, since 60% of Americans believe she is corrupt and dishonest, I give the debate to Bernie Sanders. I think it's fair to say that most Democrats listening to Bernie, would believe that he would honestly try to do everything he talks about. Now Bernie might not "give a dam about (Hillary's) emails" but we do!
I was stunned that Hillary would advocate that Edward Snowden and Wall Street CEOs go to jail for their wrong doing - but not her?! As CEO of the US State Department did not Hillary do exactly as Snowden and Wall Street "gamblers" did? She had her staff in the State Department copy classified information over to her unclassified network - just as Snowden. She accuses Wall Street CEOs of being gamblers with our money, but hasn't she gambled with our national secrets? As a military officer, if I had copied classified information and put it into an unclassified network, I would expect to go to jail.
State Department staffers moved more than 400 pieces of classified information over to Hillary's unclassified network by one of three methods - all illegal.
- Simply reading off information on the classified network and hand jamming it into the unclassified network.
- Downloading classified information onto a storage device and transferring it over to the unclassified network as Snowden did.
- Hooking an unclassified computer to the classified network.
She obviously directed that this be done for her convenience - to Hell with national security.
I think it highly likely, if there is any justice in America, that Hillary will go to jail. She has not openly broadcast classified material that she had copied off the secure network, but in all other regards she has done the same as Snowden. At a minimum she should lose her security clearance. She has demonstrated what 60% of us have perceived - she is not trustworthy.
President Obama is obviously using Hillary's email situation to his advantage. In his 60 Minutes interview, instead of not commenting because of the ongoing FBI investigation, which he has allowed, he expressed the view that she had made a mistake. Through his White House spokesman today, he emphasized his trust in the independent agencies (FBI/Justice Department) to do their job. Through his (corrupt) influence he could have stopped the FBI investigation, as he did the Lois Lerner investigation, but he has not. I think Rush Limbaugh's prediction will turn out to be right, Obama has no intention of turning the Democrat Party back to the Clintons by allowing Hillary to be nominated/elected President.
I expect Obama to see that Hillary is in serious legal jeopardy, sufficient to cause her to drop out of the race. Bernie Sanders will likely be the Democrat nominee if Joe Biden stays out.
