The Facts Keep Undermining Hillary’s E-mail Tales


"It’s outrageous that she might emerge unscathed even so."


National Review . . . "Before we go on, let’s revisit Clinton’s words from August 26, 2015. Back then, she declared that, “I did not send classified material and I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified, which is the way you know whether something is.” 

"This was a classic Clintonian defense, resting as it did on a largely irrelevant straw man – if she did not receive information “marked” or “designated” classified, and such designations are “the way you know” something is classified, then she never knowingly mishandled classified information. Yet as I (and many others) have pointed out before, Clinton’s actual legal obligation was to safeguard marked and unmarked classified information, and to fulfill that obligation she would necessarily have to know the classification of everything she handled, whether it was marked or not." . . .
This is behavior that would get members of the armed forces discharged and very possibly thrown in prison. But because it is, supposedly, rampant within our most important cabinet agencies, Clinton may well get off scot-free and become the next president of the United States. Lady Justice weeps.
 "Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field..."
" '... a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff," ABC News reports." . . .
