Where The Real Stench Is With Hillary

EmailGate is very, very bad.
The mere presence of SAP material on her "private" email server is a federal offense -- and should be. Sometimes described as "above top secret" these programs are no-BS "need to know" and you must be read into each one individually, then you must access whatever material is involved in a secured facility from which that material may not leave. There is no such thing as "having access to them" on a general basis, no matter who you are.
These programs typically deal with human intelligence of some form -- an agent on the ground in a foreign nation employed in a very sensitive role and operation. Divulging the material will cause great harm to national security, usually will get people killed outright and might start a war -- literally. That's not hyperbole -- it's real and is no joke.
That Hillary is reported to have had this material on her server means that at least two serious felonies occurred. First, the person who caused it to be there committed a serious federal offense, since there is literally no possible way for it to happen without multiple breaches of security protocols to have taken place sequentially, acts that cannot happen by accident.
Second, for Hillary to not immediately report same and deal with the fallout is a second federal offense.
And by the way, if Bill had access to it then he's in trouble too (and he probably did, and is.)
There are people who have a namby-pamby view of the world and who think that programs like this have no place in a civil society. Well, you're wrong. Other nations use them and we both do and have since our founding. The modern structure around them is (relatively) new but not this sort of program itself. Their presence and operations often save lives, sometimes hundreds or thousands of lives. They're important, but if you wish to argue the propriety of the programs themselves then go ahead and initiate that debate -- but in the meantime recognize that crapping all over them as they exist today may well get someone killed or even that a war might be initiated that leads to cities getting nuked -- and that the someone who that happens to might be or include you.
Nonetheless this is not the most-serious aspect of the Emailgate scandal. No, it's far worse folks -- it's the Clinton Foundation linkage.
There is already plenty of evidence in the public that the Clinton Foundation basically sold access to information and even secrets themselves to persons in other nations for "donations", and this is not something that happened without the knowledge of literally hundreds of people in our government, including at the highest levels, all of whom had a legal and national duty to prevent and report it.
That we have a candidate for President who was not only deeply involved in this she was the architect and chief steering agent for it is beyond outrageous. There are plenty of people who believe that Obama has basically sold out America to various foreign interests, including the Muslim Brotherhood. What Hillary appears to have been involved in is not only far worse it's far more-pervasive.
We shall see what the FBI and related agencies come up with here. We then shall see what Loretta Lynch does in response. I have often commented during this process that the mere presence of classified material on her "home grown" email server on its own is sufficient to bar her from running for President and ought to land her in prison, because it both is and should.
But that merely scratches the surface.
Remember that this pattern of conduct -- selling off American secrets for money by the Clintons -- is neither new or particularly surprising given Hillary and Bill Clinton's history. In 1996 Chinagate involved the transfer of satellite technology usable for the development of military purposes, including nuclear missiles, to China and millions of dollars of donations to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign by persons barred from donation because they were not Americans.
Judicial Watch went after this and ultimately prevailed; they not only prevailed they were awarded nearly a million dollars in attorneys fees and costs. Clinton administration officials destroyed records during this investigation as well in an attempt to prevent discovery and lied under oath.
In addition Yah Lin Trie pled guilty to violating campaign finance rules (which prohibit non-US sources or persons of funds for said donations or structuring to evade said rules) and over 100 other people either took the 5th or fled the country to avoid prosecution.
And let's not forget Marc Rich, who Clinton pardoned after he and his wife donated over a million dollars to the Clinton Presidential Library and campaigns combined. He subsequently fled the country to avoid being imprisoned for tax evasion and died in 2013 -- in Switzerland, having successfully avoided punishment.
Whatever you may think of Democrats generally and Hillary personally the premise that laws intended to protect not only the integrity of this nation but our military secrets are something that can be bought and sold by persons for their own personal political and financial interests is something you must reject using whatever means are available -- and necessary.
Hillary is facially disqualified by the laws of the United States from being President, or for that matter, holding any office in our government.
That we continue to allow someone who is tantamount to Senator Palpatine to continue with this charade is an outrage. If it continues, and leads to her election, it very well may destroy our nation.
Hillary Clinton, along with the rest of her cabal, must face indictment and prosecution -- not election.
