Where are the Clinton Emails? - 2016 Race


Lets Get Real:

Thus it starts, the House Select Committee has found that there are months of missing emails from the Clinton email archive.  The questions will start, what is the former Secretary of State hiding about her role in the Libyan deaths, or more of fact, what she did not do to save the life of the US Ambassador to Libya.   The Republicans are smelling blood in the water, other Democrats and the White House are getting distance from the Clinton Camp.   The Clintons need to come out fighting, they know how to do that well, they need new talking points, they need to scan all the emails, make sure none are missing, if they are missing better get the story out now, not during the general election.   One can expect a Democrat might try his luck with ALL this email scandal, the Democrats need a Mr or Ms Clean when it comes to political baggage.   The Clintons should worry about having to appear before Congress, its Republican held, even the Clintons can not refuse to go before Congress.   There is more to this story, a daily development. 


Are Democrats turning on Hillary Clinton - 2016 Race


Lets Get Real:

Are cinders burning in the Clinton Campaign even before it has started, this wait and see period could finish the Clinton Campaign before it starts, in this 24/7 news cycle saying nothing does not work.  The candidate has to come out firing, getting this story off the front page, at least give decent talking points to her staff otherwise those thinking of running will start to see a chance to take down Hillary Clinton before she starts, the money is waiting for there to be a candidate, IF this forces Hillary out of the race then the money will seek new candidates, the Democratic Party will not be happy should Hillary decide not turn, that means months that could have been used by other candidates have been wasted.   In this blog still thinks that the Clintons are lucky, they should get over this storm, if nothing else because the Democrats do not have ANY real candidates for President.  The more this story stays in the press, the more damage it does to the Clinton brand, time for the Clinton fire engine to get to work and remove this problem, otherwise there will have been only one Clinton Presidency. 

The Secrecy of Hillary Clinton - 2016 Race

Fox News: Reports via Politico.com that  " ...Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep the news of the emails quiet after the White House, State Department and Clinton’s personal office learned in August that House Republicans had been given information showing that Clinton used a private email account to conduct official government business. "

Lets Get Real:

This story gets more fishy by the day, one gets the impression that the Clinton staff were following the Bill Clinton rule book, keep the truth secret and then let it die a natural death with other stories come to the fore.   If this is how Hillary Clinton behaves while she was Secretary of State one has to ask is SHE FIT for public service.  This blog has made it clear if the Republicans do not nominate Jeb Bush it would support Hillary Clinton, but her Nixonian strategy of releasing what she wants to release does rise questions about her fitness for high office.   Is the US going to go through the 1990s again, Clinton scandals hitting the headlines.   The Democrats should look for a candidate with not so much baggage, there must be Democratic Mr Clean, someone you can like and trust.  There will be more to follow, there is always more with the Clintons. 

The Obama White House and the Clinton Emails - 2016 Race

The New York Times: Reports that President Obama only learned last week that Hillary Clinton was using her own email service, the article notes the following, " ...the White House has refused to say whether they believe that Mrs. Clinton violated any administration policies or broke any laws by conducting all of her business with a private email address. "

Lets Get Real:

One has to question IF President Obama is serious about the job of being President, one can assume that he got and sent emails to his Secretary of State, would you not see that the address was not a government email, did the Director of the CIA send any secret emails to the State Department, the issue of how secure the Clinton emails has come up, one can assume that North Korea, China, Iran, Russia and Israel through the Mossad would have checked to see how secure the Clinton email server was, did the NSA give the Clinton server its okay to get secret emails etc.   The Clintons have to answer serious questions on the threat to national security they created by using their own emails.    IF it comes out that it was breached then the Clinton Campaign is finished before it gets startred.   This is a developing story.
