“Careless” is Not the Word For What Clinton Did
July 14, 2016 Breaking News 814 Comments

Knowing he couldn’t describe Hillary Clinton’s actions as “negligent” without running into a discrepancy between the law and his recommendations, FBI Director James Comey chose to characterize her email choices as “extremely careless.” A concern for v**ers? Perhaps. But not a concern for the Justice Department.

The American people are left to conclude that, as long as an individual does not specifically intend to sell national security secrets to our enemies, they can treat classified information however they want. Leave top secret missives in the break room. Post sensitive intelligence to your blog. As long as you didn’t “intentionally” sabotage national security, you’re fine.

Well, that’s not actually the standard, and anyone other than the presumptive Democratic nominee would be held accountable for what Hillary Clinton did. We all know that.

But even if we accept that the standard is what Comey says it is, Clinton is still guilty. Because there was nothing “careless” about the way she set up her email system. In fact, she went out of her way to cautiously and deliberately thwart State Department rules regarding the use of email. She relied on multiple private servers, warned agency IT staff to look the other way, and failed to abide by regulations requiring her to turn her emails over at the end of her term. None of this happened by accident.

Furthermore, her tried-and-true excuse regarding classified emails is threadbare and ridiculous. As Paul Ryan put it in a Washington Post op-ed: “It wasn’t just Clinton’s job to know what was classified – it was her job to decide what was classified. As secretary of state, Clinton was granted original classification authority, which gave her power to determine what is top-secret material.”

Not only does this erase the legitimacy of her “it wasn’t marked at the time” excuse, it turns that excuse against her. It’s like eating raw chicken and then blaming Purdue when you get sick. It was your job to cook the thing, i***t.

Ryan is currently pressuring intelligence officials to block Clinton from receiving security briefings. P**********l nominees are traditionally allowed in on these briefings after the conventions so they aren’t scrambling to catch up after the e******n. Ryan says that Clinton’s history should disqualify her from enjoying that privilege.

But that’s really small potatoes. After all this, Clinton isn’t going to make the same mistake twice.

The larger issue is her judgement in general. The larger issue is that she really didn’t make a “mistake” in the first place. She made a conscious, active choice to prioritize her privacy and convenience over national security. It’s that choice that should seriously worry v**ers.

Amen and Amen her judgement left when she was in college and wrote her paper on Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals. If she ever had a conscience she lost it then and ever since it has been a down hill run for her. There is nothing beneath her dignity to do. She will stop at nothing as her only interests from then on was power and money and she care less about every thing else.

The best part of this is yet to come. We believe Google has back ups of the emails. We believe Obama corresponded through her server. We believe a huge part of this cover up is to protect Obama. We believe Comeys actions prior to the e******n which probably lost the e******n for Hillary was to hopefully end that hunt. Hillary was sacrificed in the hope that if T***p w*n, the inquiry into Hillary's crap would end.

I agree. Hillary was NEVER going to be honestly investigated because the corruption would lead right back to Obama, and he was going to be protected no matter what. I sincerely hope that will no longer be the case. A lot of people think there is an attempt at a soft c**p going on. I think the c**p already happened while Obama was in office. Obama weaponized our government agencies long before President Trump came on the scene, and ruled like a third world banana republic dictator would. And he wouldn't have been able to pull it off without the willing help of his accomplices and collaborators in the media.

Amen and Amen

Very true.

Obama knew everything about hilliar's secret servers and deals that benefited them BOTH through the pay to play schemes run through hillar's State Department and laundered through her Clinton Foundation. Obama was in on the take, otherwise, it couldn't have worked. Obama didn't make his millions any other way. Lots of others helped too, like Mueller, who delivered the uranium samples to the Russians for hilliar's yeranium one deal.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I know, right. Mueller actually delivered, in a hand carried container, samples, I believe, of the uranium in question.

Mikeyavelli

Think Robert Swann Mueller did that for hilliar because she was so good lookin?

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

Lol! Yes, that's it!!

Mike Easterday

Comey should have rope around his neck!

Mikeyavelli

If they can find enough rope, hilliar should be hung from her ankles.
