E-Mails Matter

The recent shootings in Dallas have overshadowed the recent e-mail debacle of Mrs. Clinton, and the way she has gotten off the hook. I came across a description by the late Vince Flynn of how really serious classified documents can be, particularly when they relate to clandestine activities, in which the Secretary of State would have knowledge.

"The e-mails could possess hundreds of names, and those names represent real people who are assets of the CIA. Some of them are Americans, deep cover operatives who are operating in foreign countries without the aid of diplomatic cover. If these people are exposed, the likelihood is that they'd be killed. And then there are the agents -- the men and women who work for foreign governments. They come in every stripe from politicians to bureaucrats, to scientists, to financiers, to military personnel, to intelligence operatives
and janitors and secretaries. More than any
satellite or listening device, these men and women are the eyes and ears of the CIA.They offer snippets of information that when pieced together aid in understanding the intent of our foes and sometimes, when needed, the ability to predict their next move."

Merely writing off the "lost" e-mails as if they were of no significance is Clinton's biggest lie of all.

    Seems to age 69 (million years!) Old Dino that we have a lot more clueless sheeple walking around than we did back then.
    Yesterday's hippies were in a loud minority but seems a lot of them grew up to become college professors with years and years of coming and going impressionable students to indoctrinate.
    These days a conservative speaker can't even speak on some campuses without a big ugly student ballyhoo erupting.

    Boy, if they could link the emails to the attack at Benghazi....

    On the contrary, this could not have come at a worse time for Hillary. It now becomes more difficult for her to pretend to support both the police and the Black Lives Matter movement simultaneously. In 1968 Nixon was narrowly elected by positioning himself as a “law and order” candidate following a summer of riots and racial tensions, and Donald Trump appears to be reading from the same playbook. Bad news for Hillary on top of bad news for Hillary.

    They have vision and know how to vet things out, they see patterns...most people and creatures in government have no "vision"; no imagination and rarely a conscience.

    My husband speculates that these shootings are coming out of Washington...and specifically 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    These are some of my favorite authors. I've always thought that they present a great deal of truth under the guise of fiction.

    Hildebeast is a reincarnation of Nixon. He was concerned only with HIS career and hiding anything that might hurt it. This is why hildebeast used a private email server. She wanted to avoid the freedom of information laws.

    No doubt about that at all. Zenphamy's scenario is tempting to believe that she set this all up for the distraction from her troubles and it is now spreading country-wide. Could not have been better for her.

    La Cosa Clinton holds governmental employees expendable, be they spies, soldiers or ambassadors.

    I'm thinking the evil hag is glad something came along to take some focus off her most prominent display of corruption.

    Seriously, people, do you think this changes anyone's mind about Hilary? To her supporters, she's a crook but she's their crook.

    I'm tempted to agree with you, but I suspect that is more my dislike of Mrs. Clinton than it is probability.

    Ever hear about black flag events--either to get our attention onto something, or in this case off of something.

    Have you ever seen any attempt at assassination as this successful. From a guy that wasn't a highly trained combat soldier, just a run of the mill grunt. Just coincidental timing from an evil, lone grunt gunman--in Dallas even, doing amazing things with a gun. Then instead of waiting him out, no water, no food--kill him with a C4 bomb. Come on.

    Very true. I find it interesting that the only way one can get an insight into the inner workings of the agencies with the responsibility to keep us safe, is through the research of "fiction" writers.

    Yes, that would be true to any rational person. Rationality in Washington, however, seems to be in short supply.

    Criminal prosecution of Hillary for puting secret material in an unsecure location is not enough to fix the problem, but it's a start. Since anyone else would have been prosecuted for actions like these, prosecution of Hillary is the first step toward justice.

    One thing you learn from reading Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy, or Brad Thor novels is that the underlings beneath ambassadors in each consulate usually are CIA, sometimes without the diplomatic cover as you say. This makes the violation of security protocols by members of the State Department that much more egregious.
