Hypocrisy not the issue in Palin comments on Clinton email scandal
Alaska Dispatch News ^ | March 5, 2015 | Scott Woodham

Posted on 03/06/2015 3:59:38 AM PST by Bratch

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has joined critics of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the use of private email accounts to conduct public business. The rest of the United States should try not to be distracted by the gales of unseasonably warm laughter coming from Alaska today.

On March 5, Palin's Facebook page posted the following:
This Clinton email scandal can't be shrugged off. If this doesn't strike you as shady and corrupt, I don't know what will. Didn't anyone in the Obama administration notice that the Secretary of State for "the most transparent administration in history" was only using a private email account for all her government business? And her answer to all these questions is a tweet? Diplomacy (and cover ups) by Twitter continues.

Under ordinary circumstances, that would just be political jockeying between people whose names are bandied about for high national office, but this is Sarah Palin. Ordinary can keep on walking. For a long time now, even before her fame began to wane, she has operated in a new space, somewhere between candidate and pundit, between private citizen and celebrity. Even as governor, she was an astute observer of that gray area, and is no stranger herself to the kind of shade she's throwing Clinton's way.

Being a Governor is not a Federal post.

Hillary broke the law, Palin didn’t.

Summary: Hillary’s unlawful use of private email is OK because Palin.

I do find it rather strange that nobody in the Obama Administration found it strange that Hillary was using a private account while Secretary of State.

Does everyone recall the massive document trove, which Palin (and only Palin) had released?

Thousands, and thousands of emails.

Liberal journalists were all over them. And found NOTHING.

Palin was a complete star about emails. No comparison.

People on the high road always enrage those slugging it out in the mud.

There is no comparison since Clinton was obligated to follow the Federal laws applicable to her Federal position as SEC of State. Governor Palin, obviously, was not in a Federal Postion.

True, though Palin was required to follow the Alaska open records laws applicable to her position as Governor.

The 2009 Federal law wouldn’t have applied anyway to Palin. Discusions about Mrs. Palin, are simply a red herring.

Looks like Bristol is being groomed to follow in her Mom’s footsteps. Might be awesome to have two Palin women putting their thumbs in the Left’s collective eye ...

Here we go again, comparing ISIS slaughter to the Crusades. Anything to distract and muddle is the democrat playbook.

The story was linked on Google News.

Might as well stay informed about what the MSM is putting out there. Forewarned is forearmed.

Everyone knew. Every email she sent had her return list address right at top. Only those who were her most frequent email receivers had the address show up as “Hillary Clinton”.

But no one was concerned as liberals lying, cheating, deceiving is not only the norm, but the ONLY way they do things.......

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon taking to the airwaves with his stacks of blue binders full of tape transcripts.

Does history EVER stop repeating itself with this bunch?
