Tornado Alley (PROG)

[SilverSurfer]

Hillary Clinton email scandal that is beginning to engulf her campaign, the panelists unanimously presented the most devastatingly painful takedown of how it has all unfolded.

From the very beginning of the segment, it was clear that the report issued by inspector general of the State Department on the scandal, and the subsequent excuses issued by the Clinton campaign, had completely taken the wind out of Mika and the team. They were equal parts miffed, exasperated, and disgusted - and sustained these emotions throughout the entire segment.

It must be watched to not only understand the gravity of the situation and the tenor of the conversation, but to witness firsthand how it has crossed over from being a Republican talking point to a very substantive problem for the Democratic Party.....

Hillary Clinton repeatedly denies all wrongdoing, stated that everything was approved and "above board," and repeatedly declaring that she simply did what every other secretary of state had done. The report stated very clearly that none of that is true.

It was not above board.


It was not approved.

It was not, as one of her staff members told two people who reported concerns about her system, "reviewed and approved by department legal staff."

Every email was not turned over to the State Department. She was the only secretary of state who refused to be interviewed. Seven of her staff members refused to be interviewed. And the investigation, headed up by an appointee of President Obama, was not driven by "Anti-Clinton bias" as her spokesperson inferred.

Earnest observers, including Mika Brzezinski herself, believe that Hillary Clinton lied, repeatedly, to all of us. When pressed on whether or not Clinton was lying, Andrea Mitchell's answer was the one I just couldn't shake. You can see that she wanted to make sure she said what she had to say with respect and ultimately declared that what Hillary Clinton has told us just "doesn't hold up." How are we to process Chuck Todd saying that he seriously doubted Hillary Clinton could even be confirmed as Attorney General at this point because of the scandal? If someone lacks the integrity and truthfulness to serve as Attorney General, then they certainly lack what it takes to be President of the United States. This scandal is not going to go away. In fact, it will probably get worse as the FBI continues its investigation.
