Hillary Clinton’s Emails Are a Threat to Life as We Know it
A humorous and cynical commentary on the OIG email "reporting."Source: Mediaite, Tommy Christopher
Any glance at most political websites today, you might think:
If the past two days have taught us anything, it is that Hillary Clinton‘s use of a personal email server during her tenure at the State Department is a threat to the American way, and even to all human life on Earth. The media’s sirens-a-blaring reaction to the State Department Office of the Inspector General’s report on email practices would lead any rational observer to conclude that the only crime greater than using personal email to conduct State business is the crime of ever believing a word that Hillary Clinton says.
Personal email not "allowed?" The "big lie?"
Page 37 of the report does say that “OIG found no evidence that the Secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server,” but then again, Secretary Clinton isn’t saying that she requested or obtained guidance or approval. She’s saying it was “allowed,” an assertion that is backed up by many instances in the report which recognize that personal email use, while generally discouraged, is permitted, as per a 2009 regulation which states “Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system,” and which is repeatedly cited in the report.
As the OIG report also states on page 5, it wasn’t until after Hillary Clinton left the State Department that personal email use was prohibited, and even then, not completely.
Hillary didn't want to or attempt to retain her records?
This didn’t quite work out because, as the unreported main focus of the report makes clear, the State Department system is a hot-assed mess. If it weren’t, then none of this would be happening, because they’d be able to sort and retrieve emails the way any Gmail user can. But since I’m a reasonable person who doesn’t hate Hillary Clinton and isn’t trying to justify swallowing a year-and-a-half worth of Republican leaks like some kind of journalistic Linda Lovelace, it makes sense to me that a person would think “Hey, if I send an email to someone with a dot-gov email address, they’ll be able to find it if they need it.”

Convicted of a cover up - without a crime! 
If I convince you, that's good enough! 
OUR GD-P, too! 
... by cable talking heads, RW nuts, and desperate Bernie supporters screaming about those emails has raised the earth's surface temperature so much, people's hair is actually bursting into flames.
we'll look back at all this and have another laugh! 
"Benghazi!"
or American policy.
I think I'll go with the latter. 
"So let me get this straight. If I put all that computer sh*t in my basement, no one will know what we're doing?"
someone is on their way with handcuffs to take Hillary away!
For 20 years now? I guess I can understand how frustrating that would be! 
But our side doing it? 
"Madame President."
"Madame President."
Come on - say it with me.
"Madame president."
And some are happy, THRILLED to post that imbecile's rantings on a Dem board without even the first clue or sense of awareness that they are LITERALLY carrying water for Republicans.
