As Hillary chases the presidency her self interests are still chasing her. The Washington Post reported a few days ago that Hillary’s claims that her emails didn’t contain secret information is really bogus:
Hillary Clinton wrote 104 emails that she sent using her private server while secretary of state that the government has since said contain classified information, according to a new Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s publicly released correspondence.
The finding is the first accounting of the Democratic presidential front-runner’s personal role in placing information now considered sensitive into insecure email during her State Department tenure. Clinton’s authorship of dozens of emails now considered classified could complicate her efforts to argue that she never put government secrets at risk.
In roughly three-quarters of those cases, officials have determined that material Clinton herself wrote in the body of email messages is classified. Clinton sometimes initiated the conversations but more often replied to aides or other officials with brief reactions to ongoing discussions.
The analysis also showed that the practice of using non-secure email systems to send sensitive information was widespread at the department and elsewhere in government.
(Leave it to the WaPo to insert “everybody does it” to try to help Hillary cover her butt.)
It should be generally accepted that all correspondence from the State Department is sensitive and require special handling. the self serving choice to sidestep protocols set in place to secure her correspondence should disqualify her to run for the highest office in the land. Democrats who support her don’t seem to care.
Government is corrupt because journalists can’t or don’t hold our leaders accountable. When Nixon was accused in the Watergate scandal he eventually chose to step down for the good of the country. Had the press not been hounding him, along with his fellow politicians (Republicans included) he might have been given a pass.
Democrats have a viable candidate other than Hillary. If she had any respect for the presidency and her nation she would drop out,save the nation a major embarrassment, and free herself to face the music. She won’t.
Judge Nap: Hillary Is Playing ‘Word Games,’ Nothing Is ‘Marked Classified’:
“Last night at a Fox News Democratic town hall, Hillary Clinton said of her private email server, “Nothing that I sent or received was marked classified.”
On “Fox and Friends” today, Judge Andrew Napolitano said that Clinton was playing a word game, because nothing is marked “classified.”
“It is marked ‘confidential,’ ‘secret’ or ‘top secret,'” Judge Napolitano said, adding that Clinton signed an oath her first day in office, in which she said she understood her legal obligation to know what is secret whether it’s labeled so or not.
He explained that what makes something secret is not the stamp it has on it, but the essence of the email.
“Does it contain information the revelation of which could harm national security?” Judge Napolitano said, noting that photographs of a North Korean nuclear facility and the names of U.S. spies – both of which were in Clinton’s emails – would clearly fall in that category.”

Hear her in her town hall with Bret Baier say the State Dept. is responsible for marking emails as classified. Wasn’t she the head of the dept. and as the head responsible for all classified information?

Also, here’s some good news. Some of Trump’s lies exposed by the press. According to Trump he would be the owner of Coke Industries if he slapped his name on a bottle.
“In Trump’s rambling “press conference” last night, he tried to rebut claims that his bottled water business, his steak company, his magazine(s), and his other businesses were failures. It was all very entertaining for some folks. This morning the gang at Morning Joe thought it was either hilarious or brilliant or both. On Fox & Friends, Peter Johnson Jr. saw it as a kind of masterstroke because Americans want to share in Trump’s success. Or something. There’s only one problem: It’s a total and complete lie. Trump Steaks is defunct. The water he showed wasn’t “Trump Water” but the generic bottled crap that every hotel, conference center, and business park can buy and slap a label on. That wasn’t Trump Magazine. He didn’t even try to claim Trump Vodka was still a thing. Instead he pointed to Trump Wines – which he doesn’t own. And so on. Not only is it a lie. I have to assume everyone knows it’s a lie.”

And here’s some great news. Mark Levin is endorsing Cruz for president and has just launched his online TV show.

Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI
Way back at the start of $hilLIARy’s email trouble, she was asked why she put in a private server. Her answer was that she didn’t want the Republicans to see what she was doing. (But was it OK for Demwits to see it?)
Really have to wonder at those who continue to support such a liar and a crook. Nixon had NOTHIN’ on $hrilLIARy!
She didn’t want Republicans to see what she was doing? Did she imagine she was queen?
This woman’s extreme lack of good judgement should disqualify her from the presidency but there’s no explaining the Democrat Party voter that stands by the Clintons no matter what they do.
You clearly have no done the correct research. Now this witch hunt has been going on at a “Yuge” costs to taxpayers and as with any politician if ya dig deep enough you may get something that sticks.
A couple inconvenient facts:
1) This practice was not Hilliary’s alone. The laws were just changed. The Bush Family and many others are guilty of the same.
2) Some of the content was deemed “Classified” after the fact. They were not classified at the time.
Instead read the emails. They are a window into how the position of Secretary of State is more a salesperson for corporate profits than anything else.
WHat do these emails really contain? You repeat biased media but never go do any research and have a real issue. Whether I agree does not matter.
Media is 100% bought and paid for in the power struggle to own the politicians in charge. You really think they go to Washington to help the common man? Really? grow UP.
Vulture capitalism on Steroids to the point people vote on a false ideology blindly. Both parties are no more than salespeople for their donors. Fascism. A Gov ran by the corporations for the corporations. But “corporations are people my friends”
Hilliary Clinton’s main job seemed to be negotiating unconstitutional trade deals for these vultures. The GOP is on board and participated.
There is no explaining why any Democrat or Republican votes for any candidate who is funded by these Billionaires. These politicians bag Washington while they are the problem in Washington. A fool who cares about winning for a brand in name only is a fool taking down democracy.
We have a window into a Billionaire much more dangerous than the Koch brothers. His name is Paul Singer. He is now the #1 Vulture who funds Heritage, Rubio, and the GOP.
I would love to see you defend him.

They donate for profits not a belief in America
My only “defense,” Dewey, is that someone had to counter the death grip of George Soros whose vast web of “non-profits,” formed for political purposes only, have been buying influence and pushing the radical left agenda for decades!
Soros donates for political power. His “vision” is a borderless one world government. He’s made a lot of his money by shorting currencies and crashing economies. More here.
Dewey your problem is that your understanding of your “research” is gathered from left media and perspective. The Kocks are staying out of the primary race so you guys needed another enemy and found it in Paul Singer, a hedge fund manager. Warren Buffet is the lefts hedge fund manager. The number of wealthy donor warriors wedded to the Democrat Party, that party your precious Bernie has embraced for personal power, are legion!
Please stop pretending Bernie is above the fray…he’s as much a part of the left machine as any other politician. He participates in the process by caucusing within the Democrat Party in Congress. In that respect he is influenced and part of the radical left establishment.
