Is This a Scandal -- Or a 'Scandal'? (Another Clintonista Blast from the Past)
Real Clear Politics ^ | March 5, 2015 | Joe Conason

Posted on 03/05/2015 1:04:10 PM PST by C19fan

To someone who has watched many "scandals" surrounding Hillary Rodham Clinton evaporate into the Washington mist -- even when Pulitzer Prize-winning pundits predicted that she would end up in prison! -- the current furor over her emails hardly seems earthshaking.

It isn't unreasonable to require public officials to conduct all public business on government email accounts, but there was no such ironclad rule when Clinton became secretary of state. In hindsight, it might have been better for her and the public if she had done so. Yet many prominent people, both in and out of government, have preferred private email, in the belief that those accounts provide stronger encryption and safeguards against hacking.

Another blast from the past with Joe Conason emerging from what ever rock he went under. Can't wait for the ulgy mug of Mandy Grunwald to start showing up on TV again.

Conason: isn’t he the thug that Clinton sent out to silence the “bimbo eruption” ladies? Like by killing their cats?

I remember him.

Waiting for Sid Vicious Blumenthal to make an appearance.

David Brock’s not up to the job.

The point he’s making is really going to be the Clinton response. She used the private account because it was more secure...PLUS PLUS...I’M PROVIDING YOU ALL THE EMAILS THAT I HAVE. And the public will buy it, ignoring that with personal server she can delete, scrub, etc any and all the emails on the server. This would include those going to others on the server, assuming that they remained on the server and were not downloaded to files.

Actually, I want her to squeek thru, because I want her to be the candidate we face. I want people like Ben Carsen and Carla F to go after her. I fear some dark horse coming out of the blue that the MSM will embrace like they did with Obama.

It’s fun (and somewhat awful) to see all the members of the Clinton Crime Family come out of the woodwork.

Conason is a partisan. Truth is whatever serves the party. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
