White House E-mail Scandal Widens
Spamicles alerts us to a report just issued (PDF) by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. At least 88 White House officials used Republican National Committee email accounts for government business. The RNC has destroyed at least some of the emails from 51 of those officials. Law requires emails sent by officials to be stored or recorded. There is evidence that White House lawyers and the (current) Attorney General knew of this but did not act to stop it. From the article: "These e-mail accounts were used by White House officials for official purposes, such as communicating with federal agencies about federal appointments and policies... Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC e-mail accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing e-mails, the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive."
Hillary would be a fine president, as good as any other candidate who's thrown their hat in the ring.
That's not saying much.
She's principled, seasoned, intelligent, and capable of working across party lines.
1. She's intelligent, I'll give you that but so are plenty of the other candidates. It doesn't raise her above the level of anyone else currently running.
2. The only principles she has are saying whatever she can to get her elected and while being a fence riding media cunt works to get voters, I don't see it as a positive quality.
3. She's not capable of working across party lines. She's only capable of telling the right wingers that she's going to make them happy by banning all those horrible things and bringing the family first! As soon as she's in office she's going to dump all of that bullshit and continue to be the staunch, horrendous, and power-hungry bitch she's always been.
She's no better or no worse than anyone else but she's certainly not worth voting for because of what you said.
