The Clinton boat is sinking, and Hillary's poking the holes

Posted

The New York Times reported that “two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation” into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with Hillary Clinton’s emails and her private server.

Now it’s official: The FBI has moved from a fact-finding mission to an actual criminal probe into Clinton’s emails.

On Aug. 11, after weeks of refusing to do so, Hillary finally complied with the Justice Department’s requests to hand over her private server. Security experts had warned Justice Department officials that there was a slim chance that information would be recovered from the server.

They were right. The server was wiped blank, and had essentially no usable information. Hillary turned over nothing more than a piece of plastic!

Is this how our nation’s secrets should be treated?

It has been reported that even top intelligence officials are growing impatient with the reluctance of the State Department to turn over the emails and the server.

There are a total of about 30,000 emails from Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state that have been requested by the inspectors general. The State Department has been gradually releasing the emails. So far, the inspectors general have reported to Congress that at least four emails have contained classified information.

The cover-up is always worse than the crime.

Last week, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive that contains copies of work emails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state. I’m the first to admit that I am not tech-savvy, but last week I learned that something the size of my thumb contained hundreds of thousands of national security-related emails, many of which the inspectors general said should have been designated as classified.
