Hillary Clinton, after first refusing to, announced last week that she “turned over” her illegal private email server to the FBI. Knowing the FBI would be coming for it, she deleted more than 30,000 emails (a crime) on her illegal, government-business, home server kept in her New York home.
In saying that she just “turned it over,” her wording was curious – and by curious I mean a lie. When the FBI wants something, it does not ask, it takes. It’s like Whitey Bulger or Al Capone saying he “turned over” his freedom to the FBI when it asked. And Osama bin Laden just invited the Navy SEALs in for a drink.
There are now as many Clinton Crime Family Foundation ethics lapses as there are GOP presidential candidates. Hillary is chasing an historic first: She hopes to be the first Clinton indicted before the Iowa Caucuses.
After saying there were never any classified emails on her personal account, we learn that, as of Aug. 18, the State Department has flagged more than 300 emails as potentially containing classified information. This was after she deleted some 30,000 emails that she said were just emails to her husband and about yoga routines. Rumors are that her staff deleted the “Top Secret” designation from emails so they could not be searched.
If I were Hillary and wanted to hide things on my computer, I would put them in a desktop folder that no one would want to look at. I would label it: “Photos of Hillary doing yoga.”
The politicized, uber-partisan, Obama Justice Department will probably not prosecute Hillary. They exercise prosecutorial “discretion” to go after Republicans and other enemies, like the Mafia uses henchmen and thugs to intimidate rivals.
The Justice Department did indict former Army general and CIA director David Petraeus, the hero commander in Iraq who took issue with the Obama regime and was made to pay the price. His “crime” was discovered as a result of his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Ms. Broadwell suspected that the general had another girlfriend (mistresses hate men who cheat). She started sending threatening emails to her perceived rival, who hung around U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., and was described as a “Tampa socialite” (which, I can only imagine, is a woman regularly seen at inland Florida O’Charley’s restaurants, ordering salmon croquettes paired with Sutter Home wine).
His secret email account, which only contained his official calendar so he and Broadwell could schedule hook-ups, was seen by both women. Feeling threatened by Broadwell’s emails warning her to stay away from Petraeus, the other woman went to the FBI. (Our crack intelligence agencies, including the NSA, meanwhile, never uncovered this.)
What Hillary did was far more consciously egregious. If there is an ounce of integrity in the Justice Department and the Obama administration, they will indict her.
Knowing this possibility, Bill Clinton recently played golf with Obama to charm – or threaten him. My guess is that Obama didn’t have to make a putt inside of eight feet that day. It seems that playing golf with a president who is considering federal charges against your wife would not be OK, either.
Keep in mind, neither the State Department nor IRS hitwoman Lois Lerner would turn over emails demanded by Congress. Lerner said the IRS “lost” all requested emails that dealt with the IRS going after Tea Party groups who opposed Obama. It served Tea Partyers right for acting like nut jobs who claim you can’t trust the government.
According to a confidential source who is close to Hillary’s valet, and based on my own speculation, these are some other things we will find out when her nondeleted emails are released:
• One email said: “Reminder, Madame Secretary: You have pantsuit fittings at 1:30, 3:30 and 5 p.m. today.”
• There are recurring typos in her emails. For example, she always neglected to hyphenate “destroyed-evidence” and “witness-tampering.”
• She would get drunk and send fundraising emails late on Saturday nights.
• There were 500 unopened emails from Joe Biden in her inbox.
• She gave Monica Lewinsky a remarkably nice Yelp review on her handbag collection.
No matter what the legal outcome of this scandal, I would much rather see Bill Clinton’s Internet browser history than Hillary’s emails.
