What the Clinton Email Scandal Is About November 02,

Quote:

RUSH: I got an email question last night. I'm so thankful for this. I'm thankful every time somebody shocks me back into reality. You know, you sit here and you do this long enough and you assume that everybody knows the foundational basis of everything you talk about, and I could not be faulted for thinking that everybody who listens here regularly is up to speed on what this Hillary email thing's about and the FBI reopening the case. I got an email last night from somebody with a very simple question.

"Rush, I still don't understand what this is about. Could you tell me why it's such a big deal?" I'd be happy to. Especially now that we have more data. I can tell you what this is all about now. This has... It has grown. It used to just be about Hillary Clinton and Obama and whoever else that she was emailing trafficking in classified information. That's not just what this is about. What this has become about is what has been going on at the Clinton Foundation. The reason Hillary Clinton used that private server was not convenience.

The reason Hillary Clinton set up the private server in her basement, in her home in Chappaqua, was not because she didn't want to go to the hassle of setting up a government account. She set up a private server because she wanted to shield and hide what she was doing as secretary of state related to her foundation. That should have been nothing. Once she became secretary of state, essentially the foundation should have been in the equivalent of a blind trust. But it wasn't. Hillary continued to solicit donations.

She had others soliciting donations from foreign governments and foreign leaders while she was secretary of state to her foundation for the express purpose of selling influence. This is what she's trying to hide. This is what the Democrats are desperately trying to prevent Comey and others from finding and releasing. This is about so much more than simply trafficking in classified data. Were it not for the Clinton Foundation, there probably wouldn't be a Clinton email scandal because James Comey would have wrapped that up with his July press conference.

What has happened since the July 5th press conference is that FBI investigators looking at Anthony Weiner have found evidence of nefarious activity of the Clinton reelection team, the Clinton campaign and the secretary of state's office coordinating fundraising for the Clinton Foundation. And that has ended up on Anthony Weiner's computer and Huma Abedin's computer. And here's the rub. The FBI agents on the so-called Hillary email classified document team, have now asked for permission from Loretta Lynch to see Clinton emails dealing with the foundation, and Loretta Lynch is blocking them.

That's what this is all about.
