Clinton’s private email server 7-6-2016

6, July 2016                            Clinton’s private email server

It appears evident that FBI director, James Comey, buckled under political pressure in his failure to indict Hillary Clinton. The statute relative to national security is unambiguous, namely “it is a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place of custody, even though negligence.”

Contrary to Clinton’s repeated assertions, she sent and received top secret information using her unsecured email system, a system far less secure than Google Gmail.  Top Clinton aides warned her of their concerns only to be told in the most haughty and arrogant way ‘never to bring up the subject again’. This shows extreme lack of judgement bordering on criminality where she chose to jeopardize national security for her personal convenience. According to the New York Times, Clinton corresponded with people whose accounts had been hacked allowing them to glean top secret information.  Public officials must be held to a higher standard and fully accountable for any transgressions. Comey erred in giving Clinton a free pass. The FBI’s image has been severely tarnished. As one commentator astutely observed, “Justice isn’t blind – it merely averts her eyes from Hillary Clinton.”
