Hillary Rules or Hillary's Rules

Hillary Clinton Rules

The View from the Middle

Yah, I’m not saying that Hillary Clinton “rules”.  I’m saying that Hillary Clinton plays by a different set of rules than you and I do.  If any of us had committed even one of their many transgressions, we would be in jail, but Bill and Hillary operate above the law.  I won’t even get into Bill’s sexual dalliances, Hillary’s insider trading, the Clinton Foundation money machine or the fact that both have lied to the country and gotten away with it.  Let’s just talk about Hillary’s current email problems.

Her first defense was, “other Secretaries of State have done the same thing.”  Really?  Name one previous Secretary of State who has had a private server in the basement of their house that they have used to conduct their personal and governmental business.  Name anyone else in government anywhere who has done that!  Silence, because no one else has ever had the unmitigated gall to do that.  Hillary stands alone with her own set of standards.

Next, her minions will say that there is no evidence that her server was breached.  Really?  Do you think the Chinese leave calling cards behind when they hack a server?  Plus, it should make no difference whether her server was actually breached or not.  Do we want to use Hillary’s negligence as precedence for future Secretaries of State?  Do we want to use her as the example of how to conduct business in government?  Do we really want to have hundreds if not thousands of private servers out in the country with confidential and or secret information on them?  It would be a hacker’s paradise!

She says that she never sent or received any emails that were “marked” confidential.  Of course, that claim has changed.  Originally she said she never sent or received any confidential material.  When that was proven to be wrong, she changed it to no material was “marked” confidential.  To date, however, there have been more than 1,300 emails that were found to be “confidential” and dozens that were top secret.  Now we’ve found that there is a classification that is even higher than top secret, and that is SAP – Special Access Programs.  Some of her emails were so highly classified that members of Congress investigating this matter don’t even have the clearance to even read them.

Finally, the media has lost track of Hillary’s greatest offense in this drama.   Hillary erased over 30,000 emails, before she released any to the Inspector General and the public.  All of this consternation has been over the emails she wanted us to see.  What kind of disturbing truths about the Clinton Foundation or Benghazi might be found in this erased great mass?  Are we to just trust Hillary that nothing convicting would be found?  Unfortunately, trust is not a strong suit for Hillary. The bottom line is, once a person decides to mingle personal and public information on a server, it should not be up to them to decide what is personal and what it the property of the people.

Do any of you really believe that Hillary had 30,000+ emails from her Pilates instructor?  If this were you or I, would we already be in jail?  Why should we hold a person who wants to be the next President of The United States to a lower standard?  Hillary rules - only if she gets to play by a different set.
