Team Hillarys Latest Email Lie --By Post Editorial Board
May 31, 2016 | 8:24pm
If one lie doesnt serve, try another: Thats clearly the idea behind the Hillary Clinton campaigns response to last weeks blistering review of her email scandal.
The report from the State Department inspector general notes multiple violations of law in her use of a home server and private email.
But her campaign chairman, John Podesta, calls the IGs work wonderful news for Hillary because it gets us one step closer to resolving the issue. That is, to having Emailgate fade into history, with Clinton paying no price for her simple, uh, mistake.
After all, anyone can accidentally set up a secret email server at home and use it to hide government correspondence, even after being warned its illegal, right?
Yet Podesta might wind up correct in thinking Hillary will get a pass. After all, it wouldnt be the first time she and Bill got away with hiding digital correspondence.
As Paul Sperry noted in Sundays Post, the Clinton White House lost a huge trove of subpoenaed emails in 1999 as it faced probes of Whitewater, Travelgate and other scandals involving Hillary.
Back then, the White House blamed a glitch in a computer server. And, at the center of that affair (dubbed Project X internally): a young aide named Cheryl Mills.
Thats right: the same Cheryl Mills who served as Hillarys aide when she used her home server and who oversaw Team Hillarys deletion of 32,000 of the emails stored there.
Clinton insisted those emails were just personal but several (recovered from other sources) have proven directly relevant to her State business, including emails about her refusal to adhere to State rules on email security.
Like Clinton, Mills refused to cooperate with the IGs investigation.
Podesta might prove right, if the Obama Justice Department opts to whitewash the lawbreaking to protect Clintons White House bid. Or he may prove wrong if the voters decide theyve had enough of history repeating itself.

(11,945 posts)If it's an opinion piece, authorship should be taken into consideration. But content is still more important -- is it factual? Is it reason-based, logical? Does it make sense? Does it appeal to the reader's rational capacities? Etc.

I read a post this morning that suggested she's trying to get into office before the indictments so she can quash them.

(29,728 posts)the FBI were investigating Sanders for influence peddling and that there is a DOJ investigation having to do with Burlington Collegegate.

(29,728 posts)you should use that kind of crap if it sounds logical to you. Just pointing out the stupidity of the thought.

There is no FBI investigation into Bernie or Jane.

(18,115 posts)I know you wish your candidate wasn't subject to a criminal investigation by the FBI. In fact i wish the same.
But making shit up is poor form.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)That link does not support your claim. Unless you have more, it is clear you are desperately projecting and wishing it wasn't your candidate subject to an actual FBI criminal investigation.

(6,121 posts)Had not heard that Cheryl Mills was part of the lost/deleted email problems in Clinton White House. And to think that Comey was one of the investigators seeking those records.
Things don't change much with the Clintons.
WhiteTara
(29,728 posts)but you get the idea that it will be in January.

For the record, I think the odds are dropping below 50% that there will be a HC WH.
