POTUS Wannabe has it
covered. Just trust her!

That’s right folks! It’s time to
call it what it is: arrogance. I am not talking about common variety arrogance.
I’m talking about an arrogance that could be easily mistaken for hubris. We are
all capable of a layman level of arrogant behavior, but there are some people
that are the professional’s professional. You don’t believe me?
The Facts
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic
presidential candidate, and former Secretary of State for President Obama,
spoke out about the e-mail
portion of the Benghazi scandal on 17 Oct 2015 with Jake Tapper. During the
interview Tapper asked Clinton about the e-mail scandal. Clinton provided
several clarifications before stating that the identification of classified
information contained in e-mails handled by her private server was “a
complicated issue for even sophisticated folks to understand.” She knows this
to be true because she “dealt with classified information very carefully and
seriously.”
Liberal Logic (not liberated logic…liberal
logic)
So, let me get this straight
before my head explodes. Clinton is a former Secretary of State. Clinton is a
careful and serious handler of classified information. Therefore, Clinton’s
handling of information was proper while she was Secretary. Well, I’m glad I
saw the video…case closed!
I think not. Am I to believe that she is the superior
subject matter expert in classifying information contained in e-mails because
she was the Secretary of State? Okay, I’ll bite.
If she understands the rules, then why is she in this mess in
the first place?
If she is “someone who thinks the government, and people who
work in it, should be open to getting information from different sources,” then
why is she withholding information from the government until just before her
hearing?
If she understands the rules, then why is she blaming a
“public display of the very common arguments that go on between different
agencies in our government?”
Just because she can do
something does not mean that she actually did that something. For example, just
because she can correctly handle classified information doesn’t mean that she
did correctly handle classified information. Clinton claims that she was “very
familiar with the importance of classified information” and handled it with
“great care.” If this is the case, then she knows that marking is not the only
means of identifying classified information regardless of the platform. “Nothing that I was sent, or that I sent, was
marked classified”? This is not a defense. It’s an excuse.
Maybe I’m not making my case. Let’s
look at time-hack 4:20. “So, I think that this is a complicated issue for even
sophisticated folks to understand, and I just keep going back to we had two
different systems, I dealt with classified information very carefully and
seriously,” Hillary Clinton. Really?! Does she want the American People to
choke down the idea that she is the only person that is
ultra-special-sophisticated enough to figure this out? Well, on behalf of the
liberal die-hards that are going to vote for you know matter what, I am so glad
you are here.
How can the situation be so
complex as to be incomprehensible to those less than “sophisticated folks” and,
at the same time, be so straight forward as to only support one conclusion…her
conclusion?
Let’s Try Feelings
“So I think a lot of this is
being a public display of the very common arguments that go on between
different agencies in our government,” Hillary Clinton. Poor thing, she is
getting picked on unfairly. Maybe the former Secretary of State for the most
powerful nation in the world today can find a tissue while filling out a hurt
feelings report?
Let’s Try… Look over there!
“And, then when I traveled I had
one of those tents because we were afraid of prying eyes of certain governments
when I would bring classified material in,” Hillary Clinton. I guess the
subject is so complex that she, an ultra-sophisticated person, can’t stay
within the subject at hand. Let’s all take a break…and go camping…inside…and
hunt for red herrings.
Passing Credit
I have to give her credit as
credit is due. As a piece of liberal rhetoric it is superb. Bravo! Her remarks
are nothing short of a modern art masterpiece. I am not talking about the stuff
that actually looks like something from the real world. I’m talking about the
modern art that makes the back end of a donkey look like a prize race horse.
Something that only “sophisticated folk” could properly appreciate.
Moving Forward
As I watched the video clip I
was not surprised by the content, who said what, or the color of the cool-aid.
I was not surprised that Hillary Clinton deflected using technicalities, that
the reporter did not attempt to dig further, or that Clinton filled more than
80% of all available speaking time with the sound of her voice.
I am surprised that after the
murder of a United States Ambassador at the hands of our sworn enemy, the loss
of three American warfighting heroes, and the willful destruction of evidence
to avoid accountability, that the American People are still buying what Hillary
Clinton is selling…the Presidency of the United States of America.
Wake up, America! It stinks in
here. It’s time to clean it up.
