You would think the politics section would have current events...

Somewhere along the way here our ignored member may mention my failure at predicting the Obama Re-Election. Something which at the time, I created a separate post pointing out he was right and I was wrong. But, it probably wont come up (in every other post) because the ignored member is a modest and honest person and tries to be the better man... Wait, who the fuck am I kidding... That is why he is the ignored member ;]

People are still defending Hillary on this and I am not sure exactly why.

First, Hillary Clinton was a government employee subject to the rules of document handling, confidentiality, secrecy, etc. She was not a first year intern at the white house. She has had contact with and been apart of classified and secret information her whole career from being part of the Arkansas Government all the way through. She is also a lawyer. She knew what was confidential, secret and otherwise restricted documents when she received them, sent them and such. Stating it was not marked secret at the time is like saying she didnt know it was classified information.

So, either she is clueless or careless...

Second, it was not her choice to destroy e-mails and decide what to hand over to the government, that was the job of the government. So, we have that which is clearly illegal if not felonious.

Third, it was her requirement to hand over all of the documents. Not to leave some laying around in her lawyers office and on some non-governmental server somewhere.

Fourth, this violates the FOIA mandates. Hillary cannot conduct government business and then destroy the documents. In fact, she was supposed to turn over all of this information at the time she left office, not years later. People have a right, upheld by the courts to be able to receive government documents. They cannot do that if the documents are hidden or destroyed.

On it's face she has broken governmental rules. It is likely that she broke the law. This pales in comparison to Watergate of which investigation she participated in.

Many government officials have been prosecuted and spent time in prison for releasing or mis-handling even one classified document.

So, are we supposed to just ignore all this because it is Hillary Clinton?
