It’s a bad week to be Hillary Clinton. She’s tanking in the polls, well except for polls of likely Democrat Party primary voters. Apparently they still love her. I don’t know what she’d have to do to lose their support. Maybe if she killed puppies and kittens, I don’t know. Anyway, it’s doubtful that the news that the FBI is now looking into her use of private email, on her private server, to carry out her public duties, is going to help her gain any ground when it comes to trust with the rest of the voting public.
The FBI’s interest in Clinton’s e-mail system comes after the intelligence community’s inspector general referred the issue to the Justice Department in July. Intelligence officials expressed concern that some sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.” The referral did not accuse Clinton of any wrongdoing, and the two officials said Tuesday that the FBI was not targeting her.
[Clinton lawyer] Kendall confirmed the contact, saying: “The government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. We are actively cooperating.” […]
The inquiries are bringing to light new information about Clinton’s use of the system and the lengths she went to install a private channel of communication outside government control — a setup that has emerged as a major issue in her presidential campaign.
For instance, the server installed in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home as she was preparing to take office as secretary of state was originally used by her first campaign for the presidency, in 2008, according to two people briefed on the setup. A staffer who was on the payroll of her political action committee set it up in her home, replacing a server that Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, had been using in the house.
The inquiries by the FBI follow concerns from government officials that potentially hundreds of e-mails that passed through Clinton’s private server contained classified or sensitive information. (Read More)
I suppose this is good news for Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. But as usual, it’s bad news for the American people. Just think of all of the federal resources, funded by US taxpayers, being used to clean up the mess created by this paranoid and power hungry woman?
Oh, and in case you missed it, evidence indicates that Hillary’s long-time aide Huma Abedin (aka Mrs. Anthony Weiner) delivered favors for friends during Hillary’s stint at the State Department.
Update: Since we’re on the subject of Hillary Clinton, did you know she and hubby Bill rake in more than 500 times more than the average worker? They even make more than most CEO’s, for giving speeches. They make millions of dollars while producing nothing but hot air. So keep that in mind when she babbles about income inequality.
