This is the real question facing Dem voter in the primary process. And if she wins the Dem nomination, that same question will be forefront in the 2016 General Presidential Election: Can Hillary be Trusted? Is she honest and forthright?





Journalists Lambaste Hillary Clinton Campaign: ‘Charade of Transparency’

August 3, 2015



Panelists who appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday had some harsh words for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, calling her “secretive,” and accusing her campaign of ”disingenuous behavior” and presenting a “charade of transparency.”



“They realize that’s hurting them and they’re trying to present a sort of charade of transparency … by releasing some of this stuff and trying to seem upfront about it,” Ball said.



Ron Fournier of National Journal added that many of the explanations that Clinton gave about her email account — that it included no classified documents, that she hadn’t violated any rules, and that she had been transparent, among other issues — simply haven’t checked out.



“None of those statements are true, so we have some serial disingenuous behavior of the Clinton campaign,” he said, going on to refer to a letter of rebuke that Clinton staffers sent to the New York Times about a recent story surrounding her email server. “And they’re trying to deflect by making this a story about the New York Times.”

All you need to answer this question is a letter and a word: F no.

My question is why do so many democrats, independents and others trust her at all? Among other things she has never, as far as I'm concerned, answered the questions about the Benghazi murders. That alone should make everyone distrust her. The democrats must have more honest people. So why do so many trust her or want her to lead this nation? The best I can come up with is the Book of Mormon and the kingmen. Enough want to follow people like that and freedom and right are forfeited.

The most honest Dem candidate is Bernie Sanders - "I am a Socialist." That's why he is drawing the largest and most enthusiastic crowds - while Hillary runs away from reporters.

FBI looking into the security of Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail setup



The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system, according to two government officials.



Also last week, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work e-mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state.

Spiff - now the rubber hits the road. The FBI has entered a criminal investigation into Hillary's email. Each time she sent a classified email on her unsecured private server - it's a FELONY. And she sent thousands. This is heavy duty.

On talk radio last night they said that this is probably being leaked from the White House because the Obamas despise the Clintons, and they want to damage any chance she has of getting the Democratic Presidential nomination. I wonder if there is any truth to that. Is this the way of getting Hillary out of the race so Biden can run?

I think DoJ and FBI was doing their darndest to be as light-handed as possible to Clinton, but the gravity of the case, the voluminous breaches of security and protocol are so egregious that they can't hold back any longer.

I will be shocked if anything ever comes of their investigation. I just don't see any truly negative blowback ever getting to her.

If nothing happens, it will be because of the corruption of the Obama administration and the AG. Corrupt to the core. Look at the IRS scandal - stonewall, deflect, deny and lie.

Yep.



Hardly the first time we've seen this with the Clintons though.

When the State Department was forced to start fulfill FOIA requests and release her emails, they had to review the emails and redact confidential and sensitive information and note it as such. So when the State Department starts releasing Clinton emails from her home brew server that are 90% redacted with "CONFIDENTIAL" stamped all over them, it became impossible to ignore/deny that Clinton was passing around confidential information.



They can't ignore it, but they won't be sensationalizing it like the last time an administration official was caught:

The only hope is that the FBI does a thorough, unimpeded, professional investigation of Hillary's server and emails - both sent and received. There are other servers out there that regularly sent and received emails from Hillary while she was Sec. of State. Have they also been wiped or destroyed (i.e. Lerner).



Then, after the FBI does a thorough and complete investigation - will Congressional intelligence committees be privy to the final FBI findings? Hopefully. They should be. And pressure can then be brought to bear on the AG and DOJ. Special prosecutor anyone?

If Hillary was smart, that server would no longer be in the premises and would be at the bottom somewhere deep many miles off the Atlantic coast.

She was - in the press clippings. Then reality raised it's ugly head. Hillary is very smart, not personable, arrogant, bossy, but lacks that one key ingredient - integrity. She has a 30+ year history of deceit and lies.
