"In 1997--three years after the Clinton health care plan was defeated..."

The last time she lived in the White House, Hillary Clinton was in charge of a health care task force that met in secret under a veil of lies. That episode highlighted the haughtiness, deceit and disdain for transparency that continue to cause trouble for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, as illustrated by the recent inspector general’s report on her email practices as secretary of state.

When President Bill Clinton picked his wife to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform in 1993, critics sued the first lady, arguing that her participation made the task force subject to the public-meeting and open-record requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The administration successfully argued that Mrs. Clinton, who was not a government employee, nevertheless should be counted as one in this context, making the transparency requirements inapplicable.

There remained the issue of the working groups advising the task force, which supposedly consisted entirely of government employees. That turned out to be a lie.

In 1997 — three years after the Clinton health care plan was defeated, in no small part because of the perception that it had been written behind closed doors without public input and debate — US District Judge Royce Lamberth rebuked the administration for its “outrageous” and “reprehensible” deception concerning participants in the working groups, many of whom were private parties with a stake in the outcome.

“The executive branch of the Government, working in tandem, was dishonest with this court,’’ he wrote. “It is clear that the decisions here were made at the highest levels of Government.”

Lamberth had previously criticized Clinton et al.’s “preposterous,” “incomplete” and “inadequate” responses to the plaintiffs’ requests for relevant information, which had made the discovery process “difficult, drawn-out, and contentious.” He ruled the defendants had “improperly thwarted plaintiffs’ legitimate discovery requests” by raising “meritless” objections.

Two decades later, Clinton’s old habits of entitlement and obfuscation are coming to the fore again. “Voters just don’t trust her,” the New York Times notes, citing a recent survey in which 64 percent of respondents said Clinton is not “honest and trustworthy.” Her response to the email controversy shows why.

When Clinton was appointed secretary of state, the report from the State Department’s inspector general says, departmental policy clearly stated that officials should avoid using private email services for work.

Clinton decided that rule, which was aimed at promoting security and the preservation of records, did not apply to her, and throughout her tenure, she relied exclusively on a personal email system, communicating via a server in the basement of her house in Chappaqua, NY.

Team Hillary’s Latest Email Lie --By Post Editorial Board

May 31, 2016 | 8:24pm

If one lie doesn’t serve, try another: That’s clearly the idea behind the Hillary Clinton campaign’s response to last week’s blistering review of her email scandal.

The report from the State Department inspector general notes multiple violations of law in her use of a home server and private email.

But her campaign chairman, John Podesta, calls the IG’s work wonderful news for Hillary — because it “gets us one step closer to resolving” the issue. That is, to having Emailgate fade into history, with Clinton paying no price for her simple, uh, “mistake.”

After all, anyone can accidentally set up a secret email server at home and use it to hide government correspondence, even after being warned it’s illegal, right?

Yet Podesta might wind up “correct” in thinking Hillary will get a pass. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time she and Bill got away with hiding digital correspondence.

As Paul Sperry noted in Sunday’s Post, the Clinton White House “lost” a huge trove of subpoenaed emails in 1999 — as it faced probes of Whitewater, Travelgate and other scandals involving Hillary.

Back then, the White House blamed a “glitch” in a computer server. And, at the center of that affair (dubbed “Project X” internally): a young aide named Cheryl Mills.

That’s right: the same Cheryl Mills who served as Hillary’s aide when she used her home server — and who oversaw Team Hillary’s deletion of 32,000 of the emails stored there.

Clinton insisted those emails were just personal — but several (recovered from other sources) have proven directly relevant to her State business, including emails about her refusal to adhere to State rules on email security.

Like Clinton, Mills refused to cooperate with the IG’s investigation.

Podesta might prove right, if the Obama Justice Department opts to whitewash the lawbreaking to protect Clinton’s White House bid. Or he may prove wrong — if the voters decide they’ve had enough of history repeating itself.
