Team Hillary’s final e-mail defense: mass amnesia

Good Op-Ed piece from the NY Post. Can anyone say obstruction of Justice here. Why Hillary isn't being charged is beyond me (and spare me the 'well Powell et al did it' bullshit. It'sd extremely obvious the hillary doesn't want anyone to have had any type of access to ANYclinton machine correspondence. A kindergartner would be able to recognize this and the attempts to hide all the wrongdoings.

"It was another week of news poking fresh holes in Hillary Clinton’s tattered e-mail defense. At this point, the only cover she has left are all the ongoing stonewalls.

One landmark event came Wednesday, when presidential spokesman Josh Earnest for the first time referred to the FBI’s probe of the e-mails as a “criminal investigation.”

Then came a Wall Street Journal scoop: One thing making it criminal is that top State Department aides sent her e-mails on “born classified” discussions of drone strikes in Pakistan.

The record already shows that Secretary Clinton’s inner circle knew full well that her private account was run off a home-brewed server — their e-discussions are full of notices that she’s “off e-mail” while the server gets restarted, and even that it’s been taken down because of possible hacker attacks.

Yet they all colluded in her continued use of it — and in e-mailing her info that everyone at that level of government knows is supposed to be kept to secure networks.

Meanwhile, ongoing depositions show Team Hillary continuing its “amnesia” stonewall. None of her ex-aides can recall a thing about the private server. For example, Clinton’s former executive secretary, Stephen Mull, was asked: “Do you know how you learned” about the server? “I can’t recall,” he replied.

Funny: In a 2011 exchange, Mull made specific reference to “her personal e-mail server,” then on the fritz, and offered to get Clinton two Blackberrys, one of them to serve a “State Department e-mail account.”

She rejected that idea, as she did every effort to help her get serious about basic e-mail security.

Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff at State and now her private attorney, also has memory issues. She said “I can’t recall” 40 times at her deposition — and “I don’t know” 182 times. 182 times!? That has to be a record of selective amnesia during a deposition- JAT

Mills, Clinton, Huma Abedin and other top Hillaryites all refused to cooperate with the State inspector general’s probe. Clinton claims there was no point, since she’s already answered every possible question. Right.
That backs Clinton’s repeated claims that “It was allowed.” Yeah — by her. As the IG report notes, Hillary never sought an OK for her e-mail setup from State’s legal professionals — who never would’ve given one.

“Harf is implying that State approved this practice,” John Bellinger wrote his successors at State’s legal department. He urged them “to defend the credibility” of the legal staff and not let Harf give them “a bad name.” State ignored him.

The department’s still running interference. In yet another case, Republicans have sued to get e-mails from four Clinton aides; State claims it’ll take 75 years to provide the documents.

Will anyone hold Clinton to account? We strongly doubt the Obama Justice Department will indict the woman the president just endorsed to be his successor. Any “law enforcement” action is up to the voters.

But the coverup goes beyond Team Hillary. Marie Harf, State’s top spokeswoman under John Kerry, started lying the day the scandal broke: “There’s no prohibition on using this kind of e-mail account,” she said.

The cover-up! The cover-up! Is anyone ever going to tell me exactly what Hillary was covering up? Because all of her emails have been made available to the investigation now - you know, the ones our resident wing nuts promised us held super secret criminal activity that Hillary wanted hidden from the public....

Be honest Jatki - you and the NY Post have been forced to concede the fact that Hillary wasn't hiding anything in her emails. You're grand conspiracy has been reduced to the fact that she broke state department rules with her private server. The problem with that is - once you get outside the birther-sphere nobody gives a crap.

The big problem with your denial now PJ is that it's surfacing that there were in fact classified docs run through her private mail. That's way more than breaking a few rules.
Deny all you want, I also know for a fact how smart a guy you are and for your lefty reasons you will deny any person on the lefts guilt, no matter how obvious.

..and I am being honest, you're the one not being honest my friend.

Ok...so you are still standing by the impending criminal indicment ...any day now, right? Since you're so positive that her actions go beyond breaking rules and fall into the category of "being illegal" then you can tell me specifically what law was broken. Please help me out...none of your friends have been able to answer.

The classified emails have been aknown quantity for a year now as well....and they were classified after they were sent which is a point that you and every right wing pundit forgets to mention. What was that you were saying about mass amnesia?

I hope you have a new conspiracy ready to put forward. Email-gate is running on empty

Pj is being dishonest. She has not provided all her mails as she deleted 30,000 emails. She also had over 2,000 classified emails. Clinton is the only SS who did not cooperate with the IG investigation. Interestingly there wasn't an IG during her tenure. Mills showed up to her deposition with SEVEN lawyers & either declined to answer questions or forgot the details. If she is that forgetful maybe she should give up her job.

Over 60% of the population believe she is lying, so they do care.

Yes - she hit the "delete" button after reading her emails like every user on the planet.....including you, Hoops. What are you hiding in your recycle bin?

And her emails have since been recovered .... And they dont show the nefarious activity that Hoops has promised us took place. Nor is there any evidence that her server was wiped as people made up and posted on this board. And Hoops,like jatki, cant bring himself to acknowledge that her emails were classified after being sent. So what were you saying about being dishonest, Hoops?

Not only has she not been convicted of any crime.....she has not even been charged with one. But you are free to be upset anyway. It makes about as much sense as being upset about Obama's tee time at the links.

And PJ thinks that "denial" is a river in Egypt.....

I never said she would be indicted, I am saying that I'm positive she broke the law(s). Hell everyone who isn't in complete denial knows she broke the law.

So what do you think of the WH finally acknowledging that it is in fact a criminal investigation? If she did nothing illegal then why in the world would the FBI (and finally) the WH declare it criminal? They don't label it criminal if only some rules were broken, correct PJ?

"Yes - she hit the "delete" button after reading her emails like every user on the planet.....including you, Hoops. What are you hiding in your recycle bin? "

Oh and another thing, hitting delete, like the rest of us, is a huge no no especially at that level, all email correspondence is supposed to be preserved and saved or am I mistaken there? That's right, the hillary is above all that tedious record keeping. It's BS also about you saying she didn't attempt to have her server wiped clean, that's already been established by the FBI (which should carry an obstruction of justice tag).
