Hillary Clinton: What if former secretary of state will never respect our laws?

Hillary Clinton: What if former secretary of state will never respect our laws?



What if the law required Clinton to swear under oath on her first day as secretary of state that she would comply with all laws governing the use of federal records?

What if the principal governing law -- the Federal Records Act of 1950 -- makes it clear that when you work for the feds all the records you receive and generate belong to the government and you cannot lawfully conceal them from the government?



What if she refused to sign such a promise because she knew she’d be violating that law?

What if the State Department has an inspector general whose job it is to assure the public and the attorney general that the secretary of state is complying with federal law?

What if agents of the inspector general signed documents swearing that Clinton told them she agreed to abide by the law, and so they permitted her to have access to federal records?

What if they did this because Clinton refused to sign an oath herself since she had no intention of complying with it, and because she ordered them to sign in her place?

What if the law required Clinton to swear an oath at the time she left office that she had no federal records in her possession or control?

What if she refused to sign that oath because she knew she possessed federal records contrary to law?

What if she blamed her failure to sign that oath on her own inspector general?

What if the law requires the inspector general to report her refusal to sign this oath to the attorney general?

What if that report was made and the attorney general looked the other way?

What if the whole premise of the law governing the records of federal employees is that the government owns and possesses all emails and documents used by the employee, and if the employee, upon leaving the government, wants any of her records, she must ask for them, and the government then reviews her records and decides which are personal?

What if Clinton turned that law on its head by keeping all of the government’s records and having her own representatives review them?

What if after that review she decided which records to return to the government and which ones to DESTROY?

What if this amounted to the destruction of government property?

What if we are not talking about destroying meaningless scraps of paper, but rather 33,000 emails over the course of four years in office?

What if you're just making up crazy stories?

Oh, you are. Never mind.

CDS. Clinton Derangement Syndrome. It's back!

What if Clinton seriously exposed classified secrets that could affect national security by discussing them on an email system owned by her husband and not secured by a mature Internet service provider or by the government?

What if she did this because she didn’t want anyone in the government or the public to see her records?

What if the real reason for her theft of records was not personal convenience, as she has claimed, but fear of exposure of her true thoughts and unguarded behavior?

What if she feared she could not publicly account for her concealed behavior, and so she kept it from the government?

What if all this lawlessness and secrecy was orchestrated by Clinton herself -- a person devoid of a moral compass and disdainful of compliance with law and a habitual stranger to the truth?

What if she is presently the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president?

What if the Democrats don’t care?

You mean like Bush, Cheney and Rove?

The Clintons have a history of lying and doing things that are comfortable for although not necessarily legal or honest. The "What if's are definitely possible, more likely probable.

How did they break the law?

What if the law required Clinton to swear under oath on her first day as secretary of state that she would comply with all laws governing the use of federal records?

Upon her first transgression: "What difference at this point does it make?" she'll ask.

What if the principal governing law -- the Federal Records Act of 1950 -- makes it clear that when you work for the feds all the records you receive and generate belong to the government and you cannot lawfully conceal them from the government?

Ditto same response from Hillary

What if she refused to sign such a promise because she knew she’d be violating that law?

Once again, same answer.

There are two versions of CDS, both of which you have.

Clinton Denial Syndrome

And CDDTFS of Clinton Defense Damn The Facts Syndrome

On a scale of 10 to 10, how much does it bother you CDSers that nobody is paying attention to you?

Don't worry. You can just turn up the volume. That will get you more attention. Just maybe not the kind you want.

Living life, hanging on the What Ifs....is an unfulfilled fantasy and doesn't seem very stable or level headed.....

Zero, because you seem to be paying plenty of attention to us at this very moment.

That miss is what we call living in denial. No, seriously, it is.

What if congress is a bunch of wimps who have no care or concern for the rule of law and therefore refuse to prosecute Ms Clinton in the same way Petraeus was prosecuted and convicted of the same crimes Hilary is guilty of. There is no justice in the justice dept. If people can't drive home the reality of a two tiered justice system, one where Obama, Clinton, holder, the irs, etc. are above the law but common citizens are punished routinely for the same crimes in the next election cycle well shame on them. It is a gimme.

I know where you are coming from and we haven't heard from the angle much at all. Where is justice? And if Lynch gets in the DOJ, we can kiss that justice goodbye.
