POTUS Wannabe has it covered. Just trust her!



POTUS Wannabe has it covered. Just trust her!
By Sam Frescoe, Veteran’s Recall

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.
