The outline of Hillary's email defense takes shape: "I was too stupid to be Secretary of State."
one man's opinion...

Posted on 09/01/2015 12:39:01 PM PDT by ken5050

With the latest release of some 6000+ additional emails, and the disclosure that some 150 of them have now been redacted because they contained “classified” information, Hillary now appears to be be in serious trouble and facing legal jeopardy.....

The constant drip, drip, drip of news about the emails is sending her poll numbers somewhere below the political equivalent of the Mendoza line, and revelations about the mendacity of she and Bill, and their foundation, might well torpedo her candidacy.

But it is the FBI investigation into how classified, top-secret information made it into her email (and thus likely to Moscow and Beijing) that has the potential to cause her severe legal difficulty, and possibly jail time ( see Petraeus, David ).

Back in March, at the hastily called, and brief presser at the UN, she unequivocally vowed that “there was absolutely NO classified information” on her email server; merely yoga stuff, cookie recipes and plans for Chelsea’s wedding. (It was obvious to everyone that this was false. The dress size of the mother of the bride was top-secret.)

As holes rapidly appeared in that first explanation, it “evolved” into that somehow she didn’t know that the information was top-secret because it wasn’t labeled as such.

Oh, really?

She receives, on her Blackberry, an image taken from space of Putin taking a piss in the woods outside Moscow, which clearly shows that he has a puny little 3″ dick, and Hillary, while chuckling about it, doesn’t realize it could only have been taken by one of our KH-11 satellites?

Hillary may feel that she has no other defense if she is to avoid criminal prosecution and jail time (hoping for a presidential pardon ain’t a defense) but it’s starting to translate as follows:

“Poor l’il ole me, I didn’t recognize top-secret stuff when I saw it, because the warning labels weren’t there. Some bad aides of mine removed them, and I couldn’t tell. Guess this means that I was just too stupid to be Secretary of State. But of course now I’m ready to be your next President.”

Her team is going to turn this into a hall-of-mirrors thing about "what is a secret" and "is a secret a secret" and "when does something that is a secret become a secret" and "if a secret is not marked SECRET is it a secret" and on and on ad infinitum.

The legal and judicial system will be totally tied up in knots over this from now until Hillary is wheeled into some Federal Home For Drooling VIPs, and it will evaporate into the ether, like The Saga Of Who Hired Craig Livingstone.

Standard question: Legal trouble by whom? The Dems complicit in this or the Republicans who knew and did nothing? Which puts their own head on the treason block to turn evidence against her and the rest?

No one.

That excuse ain’t gonna wash. The Clinton’s aren’t stupid. They are corrupt. To the core. it’s time for the Big House not the White House.

That’s so in a panically retarded. Of course ‘Rats are emotional, not logical thinkers so they “think” it might pass muster.

I’ve always wondered why Bill would marry her.

I think Bill realized her overwhelming ambition to rule over the masses.
Without her, no way would he have even made it to Gov, let alone POTUS.
It was a marriage made in hell.

Ha Ha Ha. Facing facing legal jeopardy. Who is kidding who. She is under the umbrella of communists protection of the communists empire of King Obama. King Obama will never let the hit go to far in order to protect his criminal activities.

“And besides, you’ve only found a few score emails that were subject to the national security rules in those which weren’t scrubbed off the server.

Four years and finding only a few classified emails show I wasn’t doing much as Sec. of State., so there.”

Agreed, “I’m stupid” is her only defense. But what gets me is that line about wiping the server — “What, with cloth or something?”

She’s stealing a line from a great black actress, Butterfly McQueen: “I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ babies.”

So I call it the Butterfly McQueen defense.
