Hillary Clinton Blames State Colleagues for Classified Email Secrets

Hillary Clinton, queen of the finger-point, has now found another entity to fault for the trouble she’s still facing over her classified email server scandal — her former State Department colleagues.

The blaming is significant because Judicial Watch, in a recent Freedom of Information Act request, demanded the State Department to release all the emails with Clinton’s name attached to it that are still stored on Anthony Weiner’s confiscated laptop.

Here, from Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today that it is fighting the State Department for a full production of records responsive to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for the emails found by the FBI on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. According to then-FBI Director James Comey, Weiner’s laptop contained “hundreds of thousands” of emails of former Secretary Clinton.

Weiner is an ex-Congressman and the incarcerated husband of former Clinton top aide Huma Abedin. He was convicted of having sexually explicit communications with teenage girls. In October 2016, FBI investigators from its New York field office discovered Abedin’s emails on Weiner’s laptop, including data indicating the emails went through Clinton’s “private” non-“state.gov” email system. …

“After uncovering the Clinton email scandal, Judicial Watch now wants a full accounting of the Hillary Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We’ve confirmed classified Clinton emails on the Weiner laptop, which would have been enough to get anyone else arrested.”

Wait for the FOIA fireworks.

Clinton, and her supporters, aren’t exactly the forthcoming type. And Clinton certainly knows how to blame others for her own faults.

Remember her finger-pointing from her 2016 presidential election loss?

But finding fault with her ex-State Department workers — the ones who worked for her, not above her, in terms of ranking? That’s just a new level of delusion.

And it’s one she’s about to fall back on once again.

Back in 2016, Clinton said this, as Reuters noted:

Hillary Clinton disputed a scathing assessment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that she was “extremely careless” with classified government secrets, saying on Friday she relied on the judgment of her subordinates at the U.S. State Department.

After maintaining for more than a year that she did not send or receive classified information through her unauthorized private email system, she acknowledged in a string of interviews on Friday she may have at least unwittingly done so, three days after the FBI concluded this happened at least 110 times.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said she “certainly did not believe” that she was handling classified information on her email system at the time, but emphasized that she followed the lead of her subordinates on whether information was classified.

“I did not have a basis for second-guessing their conclusion,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN, saying she had the “highest regard” for her former colleagues.

“These are experienced diplomats, they have expertise in handling classified material,” she said in a separate interview with PBS Newshour. “They were not careless and the material that they sent, they did not believe that was classified.”

Clinton, who was the department’s most senior classifying authority during her four-year tenure at its helm, did not address the FBI’s conclusion that she herself sent information on topics classified as ‘top secret’, the highest level, through a private server she kept in her basement.

“I have said, and I repeated, that it was a mistake to use personal email and I regret that,” she said in another interview with ABC.

It is a crime to mishandle classified information, and while FBI Director James Comey said on Tuesday there was evidence Clinton or her aides may have broken these laws, there was not enough evidence of criminal intent for a prosecution.

In an unusual 15-minute announcement explaining the FBI’s findings, Comey ended up dismaying both Republicans and Democrats.

While Clinton’s Republican opponents have fumed at the decision not to file criminal charges, Clinton and her staff have disputed some of Comey’s criticisms that undermine her argument that she has better judgment than Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate.

Comey called her and her staff “extremely careless” and said that any “reasonable” government employee should have recognized that such information should not be aired in emails. Her server was so poorly secured the FBI could not eliminate the possibility it had not been hacked by the country’s enemies, Comey said.

Asked if she agreed that she was “extremely careless”, Clinton told CNN she was not, adding that Comey had “clarified” his remarks. It was unclear what clarification Clinton meant.

In lengthier comments before lawmakers on Thursday, Comey again spoke of Clinton’s and her staff’s carelessness and “real sloppiness”, adding that it seemed she was not “particularly sophisticated with respect to classified information.”

Keep in mind that Comey’s use of the term “extreme carelessness” skirts the legal standard of “gross negligence” needed for prosecution. Having held a Top Secret clearance in the US Navy, we could not so much as breathe a fraction of Clinton’s indiscretions without being court martialed.

Sorry bwitch. I don’t care who you fantasize for your sad dilemma but you’re going to jail or be hanged. Your husband also raped a Juanita Broadderick and should be in jail for that also, and like you, for his treason with China.

Dan Inouye also raped at least one women we know of. He got an airport named after him and I think a boat. Don’t these people know that?? But I guess it was the money that counted for the Hawaiians. You make Pele MAD when you do that.

Both you and your husband are the Ethel Rosenberg of our generation. I would love to see BOTH of you hanged. You will dribble urine or feces so they will give you diapers before it is done.

Hmmm. Hillary has consistently pointed her index finger to the object of fault, while the other three fingers are pointing at her. She is accusing herself threefold.
