2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Clinton Rationale For private Server... "Convenience!" Yes, A Poor Decision Hillary, Perhaps... [View all]
just your second worse decision after... Voting to Invade Iraq!The ONLY question that ANY citizen should ask before deciding to install a private email server in your home where as Secretary of State government communications and business will take place (in addition to your private email communication) is...
Will I as Secretary of State EVER be receiving or having to send sensitive email communications i.e., TOP SECRET, CLASSIFIED or SAP/SAR?
Hillary's judgement on this... NOPE! or No problem... "I'm opting for convenience..."
or As Foreign Policy Guru that she purports herself to be...
SHE NEVER thought... TO ASK HERSELF THE FRIGGING QUESTION... Before she decided on installing the server!
Respected former Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed concern over possible Hack by Russia, Iran or Chinese of Clinton's private server! http://theweek.com/speedreads/600728/did-russia-read-hillary-clintons-emails-robert-gates-says-odds-are-pretty-high
Just as with her Iraq decision, Libya, Quaddafi and a host of others... Hillary NEVER paused to consider the larger consequences of her decision(s).
And Hillary wants US to TRUST HER JUDGEMENT as President of the United States? Why Certainly...
When America elects a President, the one characteristic above all others that we require is JUDGEMENT.
Hillary from opting to take HUGE speaking fees from Wall Street Banks which former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell recently noted "Was not a smart move if she was planning to run for President..." to the email server, to a lackadaisical attitude toward management prerogatives in Benghazi and the decision to overthrow Quaddhafi that preceded it...
should give Americans pause in who they consider to represent their interests and safety as both President and Commander in Chief.
The personal political history and performance of Hillary Clinton that America has observed over both the long and short term should therefor be cause for concern. The evidence is clear that Hillary Clinton has a well demonstrated propensity for poor judgement, and less than optimal associated decision making.

Clinton's campaign responded that the new roadblock "appears to be over-classification run amok" and that it will "pursue all appropriate avenues to see that her emails are released in a manner consistent with her call last year." SNIP
"It was a mistake because who wants to put people through all of this?" Clinton said. "I don't want to go through it; I don't want to put a lot of my friends through it. So it was a mistake."
Clinton stated previously that "Her vote to Invade Iraq was just one instance and that was a mistake" as well...
As someone who wants so badly to be ... The First Woman President, she sure makes a lot of "Mistakes!"
If in the end Hillary fails in her quest to be ... The First Woman President, she will have no one else to blame but herself.
