email practices. The Washington Post says the notes don’t contain any “major revelations,” but it’s wrong. Very wrong. The notes
reveal the stunning breadth of Hillary Clinton’s dishonesty and deception.
First, and most importantly, it’s plain that her team began systematically wiping the server only after news broke of its existence:
Second, her own response was extraordinarily cynical. Three weeks after she tweeted that she wanted the public to see her emails, the
purge began. Publicly, she called for transparency. Privately, her team is frantically destroying messages:
Third, if you want further evidence of her extraordinary carelessness with our nation’s secrets, look no further than the fact that she claims
that she did not pay attention to the “level” of classified information and even claimed that she didn’t even know what the (C) classification
meant:
Finally — though this is a small matter by comparison — remember how Hillary claimed that she chose to use a private server for her own
convenience? She actually had 13 devices, and her lawyers couldn’t seem to locate them:
Americans cannot believe a single word that comes out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. She does what she wants, says whatever she needs to
escape the news cycle (or federal prosecution), and proceeds right on with her march to power. Even worse, she’s consistently done so
with the willing and enthusiastic participation and cooperation of the vast majority of the progressive media. As a colleague noted, where’s
the “Against Hillary” edition of an esteemed liberal publication?
Given the stunning incompetence and mendacity of her GOP opponent, this person is likely the next POTUS. After prolonged exposure to
her corruption (which isn’t tempered by any of her husband’s charm or political talent), Americans will either be exhausted by the drama or
so thoroughly hardened to dishonesty and scandal that our politics will be debased for a generation. She is the living symbol of the corruption
of our elite and the rotting of our politics. May her reign be mercifully brief.
Emphasis added. And, thus, in the immortal words of Paul Richards---general manager of the Houston Colt .45s-to-be (the future Astros), when
presented with the list of players made available to them and to the New York Mets-to-be by the other National League teams in the fall of 1961
(from your ancient history: they began play in 1962),
Ladies and gentlemen, we've just been f@cked.
My pending vote for "None of These Candidates" for president come November will not change.
