Are government
officials lying about the Clinton
For the first time since the Hillary email affair broke last
year a government official appointed by President Barack Obama, the Inspector
General of the State Department, has confirmed Clinton violated the rules of the government
by refusing to turn over emails when she left office, and by maintaining her
own private server independent of the secured government system.
How convenient that the President is in Japan when the report was released
today.
Immediately after the release, the Hillary defenders took to
the airways to attempt to mitigate the impact on her already swollen
unfavorable and non-trustworthy poll numbers.
Sadly, the mouthpieces continue to say anything to divert attention from
the truth. I wonder if proven wrong by
an upcoming FBI report if they will resign from office for lying to the public.
The attempted cover up of what took place on that server
could be the lead story of the 2016 election and has the potential of
overshadowing whatever Donald Trump has and will accomplish during the long and
painful campaign.
The sharp intensity of the Clinton surrogates attack on the Inspector
General's report was breathtaking and is a good clue as to whether her server
outcome is going to be bad or good. The
determined effort by the surrogates to say Hillary was doing nothing more than
previous Secretaries of State like those of Bush and Bill Clinton, was a clever
tactic but has little to do with what Hillary did.
Each presidential administration issues their own rules and
regulations guiding appointees like Clinton
on how to handle emails. The Obama
administration, to their credit, had far more detailed rules than previous
administrations. According to Obama's
Inspector General for the State Department, Hillary broke the rules.
Also according to the IG report, she knowingly violated the
rules by never seeking approval for a private email server from the State
Department, or the White House, a serious charge since she has repeatedly
denied violating any rules. The fact
Hillary and her staff refused to meet with the Inspector General during the
investigation, while all previous Secretaries of State did meet with the IG, is
highly suspicious.
Far more ominous was another related news story that broke
today about the Romanian hacker recently extradited to the USA at the
request of the FBI, who did a plea bargain with the FBI and pleaded guilty of
hacking the private emails of several top ranking government officials.
Among the claims of this convicted hacker was his admitted
hacking into Secretary Clinton's private email server. Could that be why they extradited him? Was it ironic or just a coincidence both
stories broke today?
As stunning as today's revelations may be, they could pale
in comparison to the FBI investigation still underway. As far as we can tell, the FBI still must
interview the Romanian hacker and Secretary Clinton before they issue findings. Unlike the Inspector General report, the FBI
investigation can lead to criminal charges.
Here are potential major actions that could result from the
ongoing FBI investigation.
- Indictments
of
- Confirmation
that foreign entities hacked
- Confirmation that classified national security memos were hacked.
- Proof
of a deliberate effort by
- Proof
that classified memos were deliberately transferred from the classified
server to the private
- Proof that the same server was used for Clinton Foundation activity with foreign entities or State Department waivers.
Now before the liberals of the nation start popping pain
relievers just thinking of the consequences of any one or all of these
potential outcomes, let it be said NONE of them suggest, imply, or otherwise
say Hillary Clinton is guilty of anything as President Obama so aptly put it as
reported in the liberal friendly The New York Times.

Obama Says Hillary Clinton Wouldn’t Intentionally Endanger U.S.
WASHINGTON — President Obama said in an
interview broadcast on Sunday that while Hillary Clinton had been
careless in managing her emails as secretary of state, she would never
intentionally do anything to endanger the country.
---------------------------------------
Ever the clever lawyer, he specifically said "Intentionally" which suggests there
might have been "unintentional"
endangering of the country. Of course,
he failed to mention the national security of the nation is compromised no
matter whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Now, the extreme outcome of this investigation may be:
- She lied to authorities by failing to disclose or get approval for her private system.
- She compromised national security
- There were blatant conflicts of interest when the Clinton Foundation sought waivers from the State Department to accept money (millions of dollars) from foreign nations on "restricted" lists and she granted the waivers.
If any of these come true suffice it to say her campaign may
well be over. There are those of us who
long held the belief the only reason Bernie Sanders remained in the campaign when
the outcome was never in doubt was because he thought one of these potential results
from the FBI investigation would give him the nomination.
However, because the FBI has just entered a plea agreement
with the Romanian hacker who claimed to have hacked her emails, much investigation
work remains. In addition, the FBI has
not called Hillary in to testify yet but has indicated it will happen.
There is a good reason to delay the FBI results until after
the Democratic National Convention in sixty days. As it now stands, Hillary will be declared the
nominee at the convention, as there is no hope Bernie can overcome her Super
Delegate stockpile.
If the FBI releases their report before that moment, it
could derail her presidential bid and Bernie would most likely be the nominee
by finishing second.
However, if she wins the nomination at the convention and
then a devastating FBI report comes out forcing her to withdraw as the nominee,
what happens?
Both the
Republican and the Democratic parties have rules in their bylaws governing how
to fill the vacancy. The Party Chair calls a meeting of the National Committee,
and the Committee members at the meeting vote to fill the vacancy on the
ticket. A candidate must receive a majority of the votes to win the party's nod.
There are 447
members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) including 75 at-large
members nominated by the Chairman (Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz) and approved
by the full DNC. The DNC is composed of the chairs and vice-chairs of each
state Democratic Party Committee and over 200 members elected by Democrats in
all 50 states and the territories.
The DNC is the epitome of the political
party establishment and only two people rank higher than Debbie Wasserman
Schultz, President Barack Obama, and Vice President Joe Biden.
Now think of the consequences if
Hillary resigns from the ticket after winning the nomination, and remember
there is nothing normal about this 2016 election process, so anything is
possible.
Since it is after the convention, it
matters not that Bernie Sanders finished second. The matter of selecting a replacement
candidate for president falls into the hands of the Democratic establishment.
Barack Obama will have the most to say
about the replacement, and his loyal second in command Joe Biden is the most
likely choice to replace Clinton America
Once Hillary gets the nomination, his
hope is gone because the establishment will not pick someone who spent the last
year bashing them. Besides, many
Democrats regretted that Joe Biden passed up his chance to get in the race and
believe if Hillary stumbled, then Biden would be the nominee.
Call it fate, call it coincidental,
call it Divine Providence, Joe Biden would finally get his chance to be
president and he did not even have to run in the primary. Biden may be the only Democrat capable of
battling Trump head-to-head.
Besides, who better to defend the Obama
legacy than Obama's right hand man in building it?
Sorry Bernie, you are out.
As Lewis Carroll so aptly put it in Alice in Wonderland, "Nothing is as
it seems."
