Okay,..How is it the media can't seem to exert enough pressure on Hillary Clinton to release her personal emails and private server for the time she served as Secretary of State...BUT they hounded former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency David Petraeus until everything was out in the open...
Petraeus is a man who devoted thirty years of his life as an Army officer and retired as a four-star general after commanding all U.S. forces in Afghanistan. He had an affair with a female reporter who was writing his biography and turned over some confidential materials to her. What is NOT being reported is that she held a secret security clearance at the time. Petraeus was forced to resign his position at the CIA, put on probation for ten years, and fined one hundred thousand dollars.
Now compare that with the situation concerning Hillary Clinton. Despite laws against such procedures, Ms Clinton conducted government business on her private phone which was connected to a private server. She also used the phone for private conversations and told Congress it was just to simplify matters by carrying one phone instead of two. After the Benghazi disaster resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three Navy Seals, Clinton was asked about denying the Libyan Embassy additional security forces and she claimed they were never requested. It was at this time the private phone was discovered and she refused to allow any emails to be made public. She and her legal staff have released a few emails after being forced by the Justice Department, but the majority of the emails are being held up by Clinton staffers.
On Friday (August 7th) Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Clinton to release all emails and the server records to the Justice Department immediately, or face charges. Today one of Hillary Clinton's personal assistants, Cheryl Mills, has told her attorney she plans to delete all of her emails to Clinton during the above mentioned period of time.
This is the way I understand it from the Associated Press story:
In a letter sent to the U.S. State Department and just filed today with U.S. federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, the counsel for Cheryl Mills wrote: “Ms. Mills does not believe that she has paper copies of potential records in her possession. Following our production on August 10, 2015 [of the defense counsel’s version of the electronic records], we have instructed her to delete any and all electronic records in her possession.” That is a far stretch from a statement by Ms. Mills under penalty of perjury, and she and her lawyers are planning to delete the emails Judge Sullivan wants produced? Judicial Watch has made an emergency filing in Judge Sullivan’s court to stop the further destruction of evidence of what may very well be assorted criminal conduct and violations of numerous federal laws.
All the time Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State she never had an Inspector General in the department to observe operations and make sure no laws were broken. Now it would seem this was a deliberate move on her part. United State Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan (above) has ordered ALL emails and the server to be turned over to the Justice Department IMMEDIATELY. His ruling stated, "If you have nothing to hide it should be no problem."
Vice-President Joe Biden has been wavering on his decision to run for the Presidency in 2016, but this may be just the thing to put his plans into motion.
Just a few months ago Hillary looked like a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination, but now it would seem the leak in the dike is starting to flow a little stronger. You can bet we haven't heard the last of the unsavory actions of this woman.
