Bed time tales from Uncle Barry

Hillary Clinton was not using government emails? Who knew? Certainly not the president or anyone in his administration.

Quote:
President Obama only learned of Hillary Clinton's private email address use for official State Department business after a New York Times report, he told CBS News in an interview.

CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante asked Mr. Obama when he learned about her private email system after his Saturday appearance in Selma, Alabama.

"The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," the president told Plante.

Or not.

Quote:
The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans had received information showing that the former secretary of state conducted official government business through her private email account — and Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep quiet.

Sources familiar with the discussions say key people in the Obama administration and on Clinton’s staff were aware that the revelation could be explosive for the all-but-announced candidate for president. But those involved deferred to Clinton’s aides, and they decided not to respond.

In the end, Clinton’s staff waited six months — until after the New York Times published a story on Tuesday about the email account and the possibility that it hampered public access to official records — to begin their response.

But then it is perfectly plausible that White House officials knew about this since August and just forgot to mention it to the president.

Or those evil right wingers at CBS and Politico could be making up the whole thing.

Funny how Obama NEVER knows of anything that goes on in his administration.

SNL has not had writers for at lest 10 years.
They have mental midgets and a no-talent cast, that is about all.
I've seen funnier people at funerals.

John Kerry knew about it and that's why he had State leak it in August.

He's itching for another run at the WH and what better way than to make Slick Willy's sea hag look weak and incompetent.

There are rumors in the media, even on the left, that the private email system may be the tip of the ice berg. And the ice berg is what the emails can show about what went on at the Clinton Foundation.

From the National Journal, which tends leftist but not radically so.

Quote:
"Follow the money." That apocryphal phrase, attributed to Watergate whistle-blower "Deep Throat," explains why the biggest threat to Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential dreams is not her emails. It's her family foundation. That's where the money is: corporate money, foreign money, gobs of money sloshing around a vanity charity that could be renamed "Clinton Conflicts of Interest Foundation."

What about the emails? Hillary Clinton's secret communications cache is a bombshell deserving of full disclosure because of her assault on government transparency and electronic security. But its greatest relevancy is what the emails might reveal about any nexus between Clinton's work at State and donations to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation from U.S. corporations and foreign nations.

Under fire, Bill Clinton said his namesake charity has "done a lot more good than harm"—hardly a ringing endorsement. One of his longest-serving advisers, a person who had worked directly for the foundation, told me the "longtime whispers of pay-to-play are going to become shouts."

For Obama or anyone to say they didn't know Hillary was using her gmail, or whatever, account, and not a government one, is beyond ridiculous. Unless she sent ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT an email the entire time she was SOS. Otherwise, every email that anyone received from her would surely notice the difference between:

Hillary_C@sos.gov

vs.

HillandBillGladhanders@gmail.com

I know this is a dump on Hillary parade....and personally, she deserves worse.
But, let's not overlook how this president ALWAYS gets his news from......the news...lol

His administration must be a bunch of dummies if he (POS) is admitting he is getting all of this from the local news lol
