Feinstein: 'Enough is enough' on Clinton's email controversy
The Hill ^ | May 29, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 05/29/2016 8:48:15 AM PDT by yoe

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said critics should stop focusing on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's email controversy and start concentrating on the issues facing the country.

"This goes on and on and on. We're reaching the final stages of a primary," she said on ABC's "This Week" in an interview that aired Sunday.

An internal watchdog determined in a report sent to Capitol Hill last week that Clinton and her senior aides didn't comply with the State Department's record-keeping policies. The report said Clinton never requested permission to use her personal server, and it "would not" have been approved, in part, because of "the security risks in doing so."

[snip]Feinstein, who endorsed Clinton, said she doesn't think Clinton has been misleading the public, adding that the front-runner hasn't broken any law. (emphasis mine)

She actually said, “Let’s not make a federal case out of this...”

Too late.

Move on, America. Move on so Feinstein’s husband can make tens of millions of dollars on yet another crazy war. Move on, just like Nixon said, “no more wallowing in Watergate”. I would just bet that Feinstein said the same thing in 1974.

She’s in a tough competition with Boxer for the Dumbest Senator from California contest.

This is getting really old:

"I think this is a woman who wants a little bit of a private life. She wants to be able to communicate with husband, with daughter, with friends and not have somebody looking over her shoulder into her emails," Feinstein said.

The Dims want to repeat a similar mantra to the old "It's just about sex." Now it's just about private e-mails. But that train left the station a long time ago, Ms Feinsten.

And even that defence leaves the Dims open to this queestion: Thirty thousnd e-mails re yoga classes, wedding dresses, holidays?? Apart from that, what else did you do as SecState Ms Clinton?

One of the main issues facing the country is that a multiple felon is the Democrat frontrunner for the Presidential nomination.

Sorry, but Hillary’s email is important.
It shows that she cannot be trusted with security issues.

That is rather difficult to do, considering that every time Clinton is asked, she has a different lie/excuse/obfuscation. That, in itself, indicates something is suspicious.

From previous excuses, she has claimed that the server was secured by BJ's Secret Service at the farm, as some location in Colorado [that happened to be a bedroom closet], at a location in Manhattan, at a location somewhere in New Jersey.

Recall when this first broke, Clinton said she did not have 2 email addresses (work and personal) because she didn't want to have to carry 2 smartphones around. [She expected us to believe that. Of course, her media sycophants did.]

Then, there was the snutty remark about 'wiping the server. What? With a cloth?'

It is ironic that in a report released last week, Clinton seemed to be more concerned with some unauthorized person getting access to her 'private' emails than with the government classified emails. I doubt she was afraid someone might steal the recipe for Chelsea's wedding cake.

For someone who apparently tries to seem so technologically illiterate, she knew enough to want her email servers outside the State Department facility. And that required a complex set-up to connect with the State Department's classified and non-classified business. It was much, much, much more than just opening an email reader and dialing/connecting into the State Department.

So let me get this straight, this shill is saying that it is off limits for us to focus on a potential commander in chief that compromised national security and refused to answer questions in connection with an IG investigation for fear that her responses may incriminate her? Of course this is all notwithstanding the fact that she lied about it and continues to do so. Yeah, we should all move along. Nothing here to review. Let’s focus 60 reporters on Sarah Palin’s family and Donald trump’s love life from 40 years ago.

Bingo. You nailed it. It has nothing to do with DiFi being a loyal Democrat and friend to Hillary. This has everything to do with protecting her and her husband’s butt from prosecution. Hillary going down to an FBI probe and indictment means the Clintons will spill the beans on everyone else and there are plenty of rotten smelling beans in DiFi and her husband Richard Blum’s corner. Keeping Hillary afloat is important to all the Democrat and Republican crooks in DC too.

One gangster defending another.

How much crooked money has Hillary funneled to Feinstein and Obama?

Fineswine KNOWS that Hillary is in deep sh!t. That’s why she is trying like hell to divert attention to it.

Did Feinstein ever say that enough had been made of Dan Quayle’s misspelling of the word ‘potato’ or Bush 41’s ‘read my lips’ promise? To a Democrat, last week’s scandal involving a Democrat is old news, while Watergate is still a front page headline.

Ahh, the classic Clinton defender playbook, “It’s only about “X” can’t we just move on...” only problem is that line might have worked when they were using it defend Bill as in “It’s only about sex can’t we just move on.” (even though it wasn’t only about sex it was about lying under oath in a federal investigation but that’s another story. However with Hillary, “It’s only about national security, can’t we just move on.” doesn’t quite work.....

‘Enough is enough’ of Feinstein’s babble. If she does not realize the seriousness of Hillary’s e-mail scandal, she is either dumb and/or something worse.
