I think Hillary will have the most transparent administration. You won't even need a FOIA

request, you can just log into her personal computer with its disabled security features and you won't even need a password.

It'll be like the ultimate self-imposed sunshine law.

Now, if only she would store the transcripts from her speaking engagements on the same computer.

Seeing as all the records would be kept (or not) on FOIA-incompliant systems.

maintaining an entire Public Affairs Office. People with inquiries into the inner workings of her administration can now send all requests to a low rent Eastern European hacker.

their increasing transparency is turning into a hideous nude spectacle that wont leave the doorway.
somebody somewhere is laughing uncontrollably.

I believe Bill Clinton became a difficult blackmail target wth so many scandals unfolding over time.
and the constant denial defense.
he took that to the limit.
he cared so little for the business of the American people.
our security and interests.
he put it all on the line and then fed a congress full of the worst sorts all the crap they could handle.
pulling together of course, for epic moves like Telecommunications deregulation and financial reforms
that made us what we are today.

fuck Bill Clinton.
the worlds biggest disappointment and possibly
the most accomplished selfish person in politics.

Leaves the back door open and exposed those secrets to every political enemy, half witted hacker foreign and domestic, potential honest to gosh real terrorist, foreign power that has possibly even an old fashioned land line modem.

How can all those attorney's on staff or Secret Service agents protect you when you did not even bother to subscribe to LifeLock.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05775307 Date: 08/31/2015 administration since Richard Nixon. When Nixon wanted foreign policy advice, everyone knew where he got it from: Henry Kissinger, variously his national security adviser and secretary of state. In contrast, Mr Obama has no big foreign policy strategist. Even insiders give different answers when asked to whom he turns for advice on the big international questions. But almost all agree with the following observation. "The truth is that President Obama is his own Henry Kissinger — no one else plays that role," says a senior official. "Every administration reflects the personality of the president. This president wants all the trains routed through the Oval Office." Fifteen months after he took office, the character and structure of Mr Obama's foreign policy machinery is still evolving. But from interviews with dozens of insiders and outsiders, including senior officials both authorised and unauthorised to speak, and three former national security advisers, it is clear the buck not only stops with, but often floats for quite a long time around, Mr Obama himself.
