BTW, tens of billions of dollars were lost in IRaq -- you let the Bushes off a little too easy and candidate Clinton voted to support this. No wonder the Neo-Cons are voting for her and holding fund raisings for her. As a class, they have to work together to protect their bank accounts fed with our monies
Heck, let all our elected officials off the hook. Why should they be equal under the law? Meanwhile, if you underpay your taxes by even $20 the IRS goes after you.
Is the taxpayer really paying for corruption? Are we now expected to not ask questions and roll over?
You can keep your head in the sand. I am meanwhile not voting for change and tolerating getting more corruption -- just that it is my candidate. You pay for their third summer home in the Caribbean and full length furs for the mistresses. I work too hard for my money. I'm also not adverse to thinking critically and demanding the best values from people lucky to get my vote. Supposedly this is or was a democracy
I worked at State previously. What people don't realize is that Colin Powell brought State into the digital age. There was no widespread use of internet at State because it was deemed a security risk. Fast forward, by the time Mrs Clinton was there -- the policies had evolved. She had a State email, I read somewhere -- Rice sure did.
Documents were printed off special classified systems, headers removed and people were told by someone -- to retype the material and email via Clinton's personal system. A no-no. If a regular employee did that - they would have their clearance terminated, their job terminated and could not ever hold a classified job again. So why the exception? Our leaders are not applicable to the laws?
Mrs C is disingenuous to say she didn't know the law. Come on. We have trainings we are required to go through before we get access to anything at State. How can she not know?
Lastly, she needs to rehire all the whistle blowers she allowed State to fire or force out. Sometimes security was used as a 'cover' for this - go look up Peter Van Buren who wrote a book exposing corruption of USG money in Iraq. I myself wrote against cancelling programs for Gazan Fulbrighters. I never was told why my clearance was pulled. That is against the regulations but hey, if you are lower-ranking -- the law's safeguards can't be used in your defense. I asked for an Ombudsman, no dice I was told. Flip side, if you are a leader the law doesnt apply to you. Something is broken. No excuses
We do have other parties, though. It's just our corporate-owned media refuses to cover them
