that was then turned over to the FBI.

And Kerry knows, all to well, how much wrongs - she really has perpetrated.

Ms. Inevitable was a real liability for Democrats even without these recent controversies -never mind now!

just sayin....

they be sinkin,,,, and don't care

"I'm a Democrat."

I guess nominating the candidate least likely to win just proves him right - and that's 80 years on!

The rest, as we all know, is history.

It applies to so much that goes on in the halls of power (be they public or private sector), don't you think?

That has always been my greatest disappointment in Obama, for example. That he almost never saw a hen house he couldn't appoint a fox to watch.

Is also partly pissing everybody off... Mockingly

Things are going to be very interesting over the next three weeks.

So much Clinton hate among non dems...so much baggage.

rave on Red State Dot Com

I have no personal animosity for either of the Clintons, just remorse for the lost opportunities of Bill's administration and a growing sense of dread that a Hillary nomination will give the USA a President Trump.

She is her own worst enemy. A terrible campaigner, prone to mistakes and secrecy for secrecy's sake decisions that feed the narrative about her - specifically that she is untrustworthy.

That is NOT right-wing attack material, its true. She DOES act in strangely secretive ways - with her staff, with her public records, with her advisors. There is a reason that Hillary Clinton is not seen as honest by >60% of the country, and while the GOP opportunists attempt to conflate that inherent character flaw into THE WORST THING IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY, their hyperbole does not erase her contributions to the narrative.

Red State is it's own beast, but pointing out that Hillary is bringing massive, self-inflicted baggage onto the General Election Campaign trail is NOT a right wing attack, it is a legitimate left-wing concern and I think Hillary's supporters need to start shoring up INTERNAL Party support and unity and stop courting the so called moderate Republicans. Her path to being elected depends solely on motivating and turning out the liberal base, not her more comfortable center-right positions and cohorts.

I want to be wrong here...I want Hillary (or the Democratic nominee in any case) to be our next president, I just hear the vitriolic hate that she engenders in Republicans and the only motivation I am seeing is being spit out by people who want to deny her the White House simply because she is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pointing out things that fuel that burning hatred on the right does not constitute carrying the water for Red State. It is actually an act of Democratic Party intervention.

There is real danger in a Clinton campaign running totally off the rails as Trump goes full gutter in the fall...

u shouldnt be surprise to b called a GOP Troll.

Truth man abuse

Ya will gits bojo'd

I'm absolutely terrified at the prospect of a Trump presidency, and worried that a Clinton candidacy will in fact lead to just such an awful event.

I wish I could be more optimistic, but each day seems to bring more bad news.

It seems our best hope right now is that Trump screws up--that he says or does something so outlandish (like McCain "suspending" his campaign in Sept. 2008, or Perot dropping out, then dropping in in 1992) that even low information "independent" voters turn against him. You'd think with all his incredible gaffs and expressions of malice and bigotry that this would have happened long ago, but the latest polls don't seem to reflect that.

It's a terrible turn of events, and I do hope I'm wrong, but...

Often true however the Inspector General ran an independent investigation. He doesn't work for the Republican Party or the House of Representatives.

"I think everybody is starting to distance themselves..."

What specifically and objectively leads you to that particular belief (other than post hoc ergo prompter hoc scenarios)?

Rushing to her side...saying its all okay.

Though...Im sure...Republicans are foaming at the mouth to hear thud is proper...because theyll take charitable (tax free) quid pro quo...with foreign nationals

Too a whole new level

The report states that its findings are based on interviews with current Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessors – Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, but that Clinton and her deputies declined the IG’s requests for interviews.

Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, and Huma Abedin are among those who did not cooperate with the investigation.

Yikes!

What will he say? Sugar coat or authentic concern?

Once items were all placed on the - ONLY - server; all rights to claim as private were voided, ab initio.

Compounding the violations, are the (very specious) refusals to be open about it all.

And the IT guys entire email history vanishing - would get anyone convicted, if it were to go to trial (why he took immunity - IMO)

Facts are that 1) she did operate differently and 2) she did break the rules which were more comprehensive by the time she took office.

So the spin is going to be denial, apparently.

And the fact that she refused to be interviewed... Whew...

But I gots $100 million

Whoopie

has nothing to do with it at all and really would not even know what is going on at the IG's office. He could requested that they look into it, and he would not know anything until the report was finished.

and did not catch that it was completed and eat to capital hill. Damn I am getting senile.

Considering that it was released today, maybe a Friday afternoon blip on it?

in front of the cameras.

And it will be very telling whatever Obama says. Will he be dismissive?

It is after all out of their hands, she is not an employee of the U.S. Government, but an ex employee. So I really do not anticipate much comment at all, at this time.

But saying that, if she had come forward and admitted it and asked for forgiveness I think it would have been forgotten about and nothing would have ever come forward. But that did not happen.

There is more reason for Obama to speak than Kerry. Kerry was not Clinton's boss and he also appropriately left the investigation to the non political IG. Kerry, himself, has since the day he became SoS handled his own work email appropriately according to every account. Note that means he did so two years BEFORE HRC's email became an issue. Putting him out would simply draw attention to the contrast between them. Kerry, either through his own nature OR following the 4 year wiser direction of the Obama people, did the right thing.

However, the person who, more than anyone, should be out in front of the cameras on this is --- Hillary Clinton.

He has done his job honestly and professionally and has turned it over to the correct department for further investigation.

He needs to worry about important affairs of the world and let the FBI take it from here, wherever it goes.

he "initiated" the internal investigation. In ONE step he both recluses himself and people working for him AND suggested that there was reason for the IG to investigate. Kerry rightfully saw that there were things that needed investigating and he completely understood that it should be done by non political parts of the administration.

Note also that where JK quickly named people for Obama's team to vet as IG in his first months in office, there was no IG for the entire 4 years HRC was Secretary.

I think Kerry is still overseas. The last I read he and Obama were in Vietnam. I think Kerry was in the US for about 1 day this month - and that day he was with the 5 Nordic heads of government at meetings and a SD lunch and a t the WH dinner - then departing again. He has been very busy doing his job.

before Clinton piled up an unsurmountable lead in pledged delegates.
Human Amedin was a "Yuuge game changer!".
And so was Guccifer.
and Sydney Blumenthal.


By the way, she will win NJ and CA despite this "Yuuuuge" news #12,235

(like me) SNL skit with a song about 'chopping broccoli'...

Won't change a thing.

It all wreaks of oligarch haughtier, beyond compare

And it is not you.

I am waiting for something new.

Bernie supporters?? Sigh!

Show me a Bern in charge of fed inquiries

(post script: ..I didnt figure it out...fir 3 years)

with caveats that things may be out of control - sneakily diffusive

Just sayin.....

They - Don't - CARE

because everyone makes mistakes.

It shows intent, and intent is needed to indict.

conclusion that an indictment is warranted.

If nothing else, the country deserves and indictment and trial, to set a clear example this crap isn't tolerated.

Had anybody else, Bill Clinton, Obama, Kerry, or even Bernie, took in tens of millions of dollars - via a charity - while being Sec. of State, making tens of thousands of emails vanish, concurrently.

BAM - Wham - go to jail - they can.

It is all so damn unnerving, how openly blatant and flagrant the quid pro quo is...

when you consider the fact Senator Stevens went to jail for a chair;
and Governor Siegelman for even less.

Your candidate's actions are providing and endless supply of ammo for Trump.
Own it.

Because they are overjoyed she got away with it all

Just sayin......

Who wants to be a millionaire...politico

on - whether or not - corruption keeps her 'Scot Free'

I guess accountability is for the little people....

n/t

Hillary brought it on herself, it would be a good idea for her supporters to prepare themselves, there is a lot more to come.

It's his fault that she couldn't keep the past - from following her.

If she becomes the Democratic nominee, she will be trounced in the general election.

They bring out someone good looking, young, and hence, more than likely - clean

and we have a real HUGE problem, on our hands.

So we can get on to the general election.

Oh boy, someone's going to be surprised as Judicial Watch depositions were/are probably videoed and then we are ALL waiting for the FBI to make it's report known.

This is just the start.

Buckle up.

Just sayin.....

Concludes outright that she didn't follow rules that were in place at that time and that when concerns about it were raised by her staff they were hushed up and told not to raise it again. Failing to follow rules wasn't an oversight, it was intentional.

I guess reporting what is in the democratic administration's IG report that was requested by SOS Kerry makes me a RW troll though.

Wait a second...

[

div class="excerpt"]Oops

but reading too..... the report does not say what u say it is saying.... to the contary, nothing is said that it was required that she had to do all this things u day she didn't do.. if it were true, there would be criminal charges produced for HIllary , Rice and Powell. Critical Reading is Critically Fundamental . Nothing illegal has taken place. that's what the report says.

And while this may not be criminal, the facts established by the Dept show both knowledge of the rules and intent to not follow them. This may be important factual underpinning for the FBI to give deference to in ITS Investigation, which may be criminal. Also, there are some experts arguing that just on the basis of what's in this report criminal liability should attach, but I am not suggesting that because I don't know.

Hen house...is awesome

Lord forbid a major media may have really pissed off, the entitled.

I don't disagree with your post however, as to Politico's thinking on the matter. .

has all been in vain.

The DOJ openly takes bribes

Just look at US Attorney Chris Christie giving former USAG John Ashcroft, a $50 million Deferred Prosecution Agreement.

Christie was rewarded with a Governorship - and he does specious quid pro quos and wife cronyism - EveryWhere!
[br][hr][br]

And - we used to call it something else - when fed prosecutors took millions of dollars, to forgo prosecutions.


Just sayin.......

So now Pres Trymp is gauranteed?! God help us all

Cards hard, against hard cards

That is, of course, assuming The Donald, is the one/only - there.

A State Department audit has faulted Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing email and other computer information and slowly responding to new cybersecurity risks.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report by the agency's inspector general Wednesday.

It cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.

The review came after revelations Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office. Clinton is now the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

Why do the Hillary haters exclude exculpatory information?

Seeing where the real mindset of the nation, truly is.

Trump would be smart, to play it down, and then bang it back up, during the General Election.

If I were her, I'd just say, "Haters are going to hate, no matter what I say or do, so I let the process continue - because the real issues are ........."

The State Dept report doesn't touch on classified information violations. The Intelligence Community report, out next, and and FBI reports will go into her many acts of mishandling classified information. It is up to the AG whether to indict. In the end, Obama will likely pardon Hillary, but she isn't going to be President.

The DOS report does find she violated numerous regulations dealing with information security and records retention, however. That is as far as this one goes, but it points to how the other agency report and the Bureau findings will find she violated federal laws by similarly mishandling classified materials. She's cooked, and the party needs to replace her and, I think, she will release her delegates at the Convention.

Her misuse is on an unprecedented scale.

because she was the focus of the investigation?

Unless you can produce the actual number of instances of "misuse" and present that as a % of total use of the e-mail system by each individual user, it's meaningless to harp on how many times Hillary is mentioned in a report as opposed to Rice and Powell.

Grasping at "I hate Hillary" straws.
