Undeniably, politics has been marred by more than its fair share of
wrong doings by participants from both sides of the isle over the years, but
never has a single administration been so callous and shown such an indifference
to right and wrong as has the Obama Administration. And just when you think that they can’t
possibly come up with another scandal or cover-up there they go again!
While it may seem inconsequential to most democrats, to the administration the Hillary Clinton email scandal is significant and reaches far beyond the possibility of damaging the party’s golden girl and her prospects of running for the presidency in 2016. When put into perspective, the Hillary email controversy could prove to be a much larger scandal than Nixon’s Watergate and undeniably a much greater cover-up. If the truth behind Emailgate, as it has been so aptly named, is ever learned, it could be the scandal that brings down the entire administration, unless of course, democrats happen to let them get away with it!
As you read the progression of events regarding Hillary Clinton’s private email account used during her time as Secretary of State, it becomes abhorrently clear to any rational thinking person that Hillary’s actions were deliberate and with premeditated purpose. From creating the email accounts to making the choice not to turn them over to the State Department and then on to the scrubbing of her email server’s hard drive, each action was a necessary escalation driven by events occurring during her service as Secretary of State.
Here is a recap of what has gone on with Hillary and her private email she used to conduct her business as Secretary of State on:

Here is a recap of what has gone on with Hillary and her private email she used to conduct her business as Secretary of State on:
·
Just days before
being confirmed as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has a private email
account set up on her in-home private email server.
·
During her four years
as Secretary of State, Hillary uses two different private @clintonemail.com email
addresses exclusively, for all State Department business, including
communications with some of her aids, who had also used private email accounts, as has
just recently been learned.
·
During her time
serving as Secretary of State, the State Department failed to respond to
numerous FOIA requests for documents pertaining to the Secretary, submitted by
various media outlets and watchdog groups.
·
Just days after
the 9/11 attack on the US Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya, the first
congressional oversight request for documents from the Secretary of State was
made to the State Department. The
request was never fulfilled.
·
Upon departure
from the State Department, Hillary does not turn over an electronic or a hard
copy of any emails generated through her private email server and from her
private email account covering her time as Secretary of State.
·
John Kerry takes
over as Secretary of State and vows him and his Stated Department’s full
cooperation in the Benghazi investigations.
·
Numerous congressional
oversight committees, investigating various departments and their actions as
they pertained to the events surrounding the Benghazi attack, stated clearly in
their final reports that the State Department was non-cooperative in releasing
requested information. This in turn hampered
the particular committee’s investigation and in some cases their final
conclusions.
·
State Department
agrees to allow congressional oversight to review some 25,000 documents but would
not turn custody of the documents over to the committees. Oversight had to meet in a room where the
documents were made available, were allowed to review and take notes and at the
end of the day the documents were boxed up and secured. This process made it near impossible to
create a time line or string documents together for proper oversight. Also, no emails addressed to or from
Secretary Clinton were amongst any of these 25,000 documents that were reviewed
by oversight.
·
After numerous
failed requests for documentation pertaining to Benghazi, the House Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by Darrell Issa, issued two subpoenas
to the State Department. Neither subpoena
was ever responded to and they still remain active today.
·
Republicans gain full control of congress
which changes the complexion of congressional oversight and their {republican’s}
ability to fend off democratic stonewalling and obstruction of their duty to
conduct oversight.
·
The State Department made its last production of
materials to the House Oversight Committee on April 17, 2014. In all the time spanning from the very first
document request made by any oversight committee on the subject of the Benghazi
attack, the State Department had never turned over a single email to or from Hillary.
·
Select Committee
on Benghazi was formed, chaired by Trey Gowdy, on May 8, 2014.
·
A renewed demand
for documents, pertaining to Benghazi, fell upon the State Department.
·
At some point the
State Department reaches out to Hillary Clinton for emails. Despite the countless FOIA requests,
congressional oversight document requests and at least two subpoenas, the State
Department has never disclosed to anyone that they did not have physical
custody of Hillary’s emails from her tenure as Secretary of State.
·
At her sole discretion,
Hillary sorts through her private emails on her private server and prints those
documents that she chooses to hand over to the State Department.
·
August 11, 2014,
State Department turns over fewer than a dozen documents to the Select
Committee which, for the first time ever, included emails to/from Hillary
Clinton. It was in these documents that oversight
first discovered that Hillary was using private @clintonemail.com email addresses
to conduct official State Department business.
·
November 18, 2014
the committee sent a request to both the State Department and to Hillary Clinton
demanding all her emails from her personal eclintonemail.com email addresses.
·
Email server is “wiped
clean” sometime between Oct and Dec. 2014.
·
December 2014 –
boxes containing 50,000 printed pages of Hillary’s emails were delivered to the
State Department. Hillary would some
time later publically claim that these 50,000 pages make up the full record of
emails which resided on her private server, during her time as Secretary of
State.
·
State Department
reviews the 50,000 pages of emails and produces roughly 900 pages pertaining to
Benghazi, to be turned over to the Select Committee.
·
After 2 1/2 years
of request and subpoenas, on Feb. 11, 2015 the State Department delivers the
first substantial number of Clinton documents {850 pages of Clinton emails} to
the Select Committee, emails which originated from two separate private @clintonemail.com
email accounts.
·
Select Committee
discovers a hole in the emails provided by State Department. The hole {missing emails} covered the most
critical time period of the Benghazi investigation.
·
In early March 2015,
the Select Committee first learns that Hillary’s private email account resided
on a private email server owned and in the custody of the Clinton’s.
·
Hillary speaks
publically of her private email server and email account she used during her
time as Secretary of State. She claimed
she use as single email address for both personal and State Department business
out of convenience of having to use only one device. Hillary also stated that
she believed her emails were being archived as she communicated with others
only using their government email addresses. Hillary also discloses that all her personal
emails have been deleted from the server and that the server would remain in
her custody.
·
Select Committee Chairman
attempts to compel Hillary to turn her email server over to an independent third
party for review to avoid having to do so through legal channels.
·
Speaker Boehner
suggests that they may take legal action to obtain the Clinton email server as
it is the only record of her time as Secretary of State and must be preserved.
·
March 27, 2015 a
letter from Hillary’s attorney, stating that they would not be turning over the
email server as the hard drive and all backup devices and been “wiped clean” of
the period that encompassed Hillary’s time served as Secretary of State and
therefore contained no useful information to the committee.
·
Just yesterday
the Associated Press reported that, contrary to Hillary’s claim of choosing to
use single email and device out of convenience, she used both a Blackberry and
an iPad to communicate with her staff even prior to the Benghazi attack. Also, Hillary still remains unchallenged, by
democrats, as to how she can only manage a single email account on one device.
First; controlling access and custody of her emails while serving as Secretary of State was a deliberate and intentional act pre-conceived by Hillary Clinton or an advisor. The reason for doing so most likely being that Hillary had thoughts of taking a run at the presidency again and in the position of Secretary of State, was trying to limit the chance of any of the tens of thousands of her Secretary of Stated email correspondences from ever facing public scrutiny. Operating her own email server gave her exclusive control of her electronic correspondence “just in case”.
Second; at some point during her time as Secretary, an event took place that, if the truth were to be learned by the public, would be highly damaging to herself and/or others, making it imperative that she maintain full control and custody of her emails, as well as, deny access of them to anyone, at any cost.
And it is the “at any cost” where it grows harder and harder to look democrats in the face.
What has transpired over the past few weeks makes it beyond impossible to deny something is being covered up. Whether one wishes to believe the cover-up extends beyond the Secretary herself is their personal choice however, Hillary’s actions to conceal the contents of emails, which belong to the people, is a clear indictment of her guilt to a crime which is defined in the very emails she is purposely concealing from the people she once served.
And yet, Hillary Clinton’s popularity amongst democrats remains virtually unwavered, the latest polls showing that she is still the top candidate to capture the democratic presidential nomination by a very large margin, if she so chooses to run.
Listening to democrats defend the indefensible has left a sour taste in the mouths of those who have simply grown tired of the party’s ease and willingness to endorse wrong over right in their “at any cost” effort to expand and protect their parties brand. Another perfect example of the democrats “at any cost” approach came just recently from an interview with Harry Reid where, when questioned on his 2012 election cycle fabricated declaration that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for over a decade, Reid’s undignified response to the question was nothing more than “Romney didn’t win did he?”
And be it Hillary Clinton’s email cover-ups; Harry Reid’s blatant willingness to fabricate lies; President Obama’s national fear mongering platform of the doom and gloom that would befall all of American if the 2013 sequester were allowed to happen; or of course, the very event that led us to Emailgate, the tall tale told of an internet video being the cause for the attack on US assets in Benghazi which left four American’s dead, the democratic response is the same …… “There is nothing to see here”.
Clearly, the moral compass of the majority of democrats is severely broken. With their willingness to overlook the countless wrongdoings of the leadership in their party, it makes it very difficult to engage in a civil exchange of thoughts and ideas much less trust in anything they say or do. It’s even getting hard to look a democrat in the face without complete contempt.
