Shift tries to focus on shining a spotlight on state and local issues, assuming that that everybody has enough sources for national news. Especially when we have a presidential election less than two weeks away.
Yet, we couldn’t resist posting about the latest news about the FBI taking another look at Hillary Clinton’s unethical use of a private email server, and the national security information that she was sharing with anyone who could hack into said server. An interesting perspective from the Washington Post caught our eye, pointing out that “Hillary Clinton’s campaign could have gone a few different ways with its response to the bombshell news that the FBI is looking into more emails related to its investigation of the democratic nominee. It went with angry.”
That’s right, the Clinton Campaign is angry. Of course, campaign leaders like John Podesta – who has his own email issues – is not mad at Mrs. Clinton for her wanton disregard for national security in her handling of sensitive information, but with the FBI for reminding voters of Mrs. Clinton’s lack of honesty.
In what has to be the definition of chutzpah, the campaign is now demanding that the FBI “offer more details about what exactly is happening with the emails.”
This is laughable, as we wouldn’t have to depend on the FBI for information on the emails had Mrs. Clinton not deleted over 30,000 of them. She could have provided the information, but instead she thought it better to delete information that might shine a light on her activities.
Makes you wonder if Podesta actually asked his candidate if she didn’t keep a backup file of those deleted emails, so they could determine just how much trouble she might be in.
