Hillary Clinton, The New York Times & (Un)Coordination

by JASmius



As I said the other day, this HRC illegal email flap is just one more Clinton scandal that will never go anywhere, so rudimentary as to be average, ordinary, everyday SOP.  Which is why we have to find the gallows entertainment value in this woman's inability to get any of the coordinative details right.

The latest chapter began with her following tweet:

I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.

Which is bullcrap because if she'd wanted the public to see her emails, she wouldn't have illegally used a private account to send and receive them.  Which means that she wants the public to see only what she wants the public to see.

But that's not the humorous part.  The humorous part is her "asking State to release" emails of which they never had custody in the first place because they were sent from her private account rather than State's.  Which means she can, and has always been able to, release them whenever she damn pleases.  Which means this "asked State to release them" nonsense is just another stalling tactic and part of the coverup orchestration.

And even that is not the punchline:

The story surrounding the tweet gets a little sketchy, though, when you take into account that the New York Times published a story about Clinton’s tweet. The problem? The Times published their story about Clinton’s tweet about an hour BEFORE Clinton actually sent out the tweet.

Or, in terminology her hubby would understand, like climaxing before the intern is even on her knees.

And this harridan thinks she's running for president?

But here, my friends, is the punchline (at least for today):

Although Hillary Clinton and her allies may be claiming that her private e-mail system is no big deal, Hillary’s State Department actually forced the 2012 resignation of the U.S. ambassador to Kenya in part for setting up an unsanctioned private e-mail system. According to a 2012 report from the State Department’s inspector general, former U.S. ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration set up a private e-mail system for his office in 2011.

The inspector general’s report offered a scathing assessment of Gration's information security practices — practices that are eerily similar to those undertaken by Clinton while she served as Secretary of State:

The inspector general’s report specifically noted that Gration violated State Department policy by using a private, unsanctioned e-mail service for official business. In its executive summary listing its key judgments against the U.S. ambassador to Kenya who served under Hillary Clinton, the inspector general stated that Gration's decision to willfully violate departmental information security policies highlighted Gration's “reluctance to accept clear-cut U.S. Government decisions.” The report claimed that this reluctance to obey governmental security policies was the former ambassador’s “greatest weakness.” [emphasis added]

Just think, folks; if Ambassador Gration had just asked State to release all his emails, everything would have been fine.  And, you know, not been a white male.

Maybe he should have asked Bill & Hillary to adopt him.

Bet Hillary's reply to that request is an email State won't release.
