Quite amazing

It is really quite amazing that intelligent citizens come to defend Ms. Clinton in the latter of her patently deliberate plan for managing e-mail communications.  

There can be no doubt that the private, stand separate from the government server and supported accounts were established exclusively and intentionally to prevent inspection of the communications by the government or public.  Outside of the Freedom of Information Act purview, a fact well know and relied upon by Clinton, the private server and supported email were put in to place to keep private what is required by law to be public.  And the assertion by Clinton that all relevant email have been provided to the State Department insults the intelligence of the voting citizens.  (Receiving less than anticipated comment is that the email were provided in print, not electronic form.  Another calculated moved to prevent or make far more difficult any review of the contents.)  It is insulting to tell the American people she/her staff/her lawyers honestly and objectively sifted thousands of electronic communications to determine which should/should not be maintained.  Finally, adding another insult, we learned on Friday that the server had been "wiped" clean, thus eliminating any hope for transparency.

This incident alone disqualifies Ms. Clinton from any further elective office.  Failure to comply with law and regulations is serious enough.  Deliberately and knowingly putting into place a system and protocols to break the law and ignore regulations is far more serious.  On this and this alone, her actions have disqualified her from elective office.  

When added to her long history, including zero accomplishments as an elected official or cabinet member, it is really quite amazing intelligent people conclude she is worthy of their support should she run for President.

We can only hope in earnest that between now and November 2016, the nation awakens and sees Ms. Clinton to be unambiguously unworthy of support in an election.

Separately, we can only hope that the machinery of justice finds itself capable of and willing to bring charges against her.
