President Barack Obama didn’t pull any punches during an interview with CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ yesterday. Obama said he knows that Hillary Clinton’s inappropriate and unsafe use of a private email server was a ‘mistake’, and he’s calling for her to face the music.
But what Obama failed to mention in the interview is how all of this happened under his watch.
Clinton’s email scandal began while she was serving as secretary of state for the Obama Administration. And there has long been speculation that Obama was well aware of Clinton’s email setup long before the story broke in the media.
Still, Obama said Sunday that public officials have to be more sensitive about how they handle information and personal data.
“I think she’d be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly,” Obama said.
There are still questions being raised about the security of Clinton’s email system.
Senate investigators recently discovered that the private server was subjected to unspecified hacking attempts in 2013 from China, South Korea and Germany. The FBI is still examining her system, and that review could reveal evidence, if any, of unauthorized intrusions into her server or any attempts to siphon off her data.
Clinton has yet to answer specific questions about the security protections in her unusual email setup, which ran out of her New York home and not in a professional data center during her time as secretary of state.

The problem with Hillary’s homespun email system is the information she would have handled as secretary of state. If Clinton’s claims are true–that she did not handle any classified information–maybe we should ask what she did other than fly around the world at taxpayers’ expense.
Hillary is seeking to use her “successes” and “experience” as secretary of state as a reason to elect her as president. If the president could not trust her with confidential information maybe we should ask if we can trust her as president.

what’s to trust. The fact that she had to circumvent existing law, is an admission of guilt. What ELSE is she hiding. Traitor? Hell yes! she is from the get go. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy? gun running? WTH? but wimpy CNN is NOT going to ask her about that ARE they? no, they are too cowardly. Watch them get ripped a new one on Wednesday when they failed to ask ANY Hard questions about the server, Benghazi, Gun running, selling OUR uranium, the IRS, All the weapons deals she made with Muslim countries who are NOT our allies. Yeah, CNN won’t ask about that will they, because they are cowards. Well let’s see how much of an adult Hilary is. No, her server was NOT a mistake, it was a calculated, defiance of US law and State Department procedure. This is Hilary telling us “I can do as I damn well please. I am exempt from the law.” sounds like CAIR
rodney burke says
all her successes were of a treasonous nature. This is failure and sociopathic behavior personified. We need to blow her skirt up and see what ELSE the bitch is hiding!

Funny – Barack Hussein Obama calls on Hillary Clinton to come clean…

Well the commie, liberal, democraps are throwing another useless piece of commie, liberal, democrap under the bus. If we have the patience we will see them systematically destroy themselves.
Molly says
Did Obama not ever, during Clinton’s time as Secretary of State, correspond with her using email? No one did anything about her using her ‘own private little server;. As stated in the article…” But what Obama failed to mention in the interview is how all of this happened under his watch.” And the democrats are screaming to shut down the Benghazi Panel. Well…if that DID happen, ‘at this point, what difference does it maske’?! The FBI have her server now and evidence of the laws she has broken. Can’t make that go away because they claim the whole investigation was based on politics.

the federal bunch of idiots i have been told now has both of comrad hilarious’s computer servers. NOW, THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THEM????????????IT sounds like the first one had new un-used hard drives. i think we need the congressional master at arms to witness what the gestapo is doing with the second server….

FWIW: Obama threw Hillary under the bus months ago when this first broke by something he said. Sooner or later a little bird will whisper in Trey Gowdy’s ear and he will realize what Obama REALLY said. What the Cacodemon In Charge is doing is pulling the wings off his fly while he sits back and enjoys the chaos that has ensued.
This is not even the biggest thing, it is this. Who decided to send our HOMOSEXUAL ambassador to a Muslim country in chaos (where they were killing homosexuals), to be RAPED and killed (actually they left him alive as an example AFTER they cut off his personal parts).
You know they guy they “caught” (actually he did not even bother hiding – he sat in a cafe giving interviews!), he is the guy in the red and white stripped shirt taking the video of the rape, that I said was a Persian or something else because he did not match the other “arabs” in the photos from that night. At the moment we are holding him and he is being charged with destroying Federal property, not rape, we can’t charge him with murder because … they left their victim alive !

Yet her party stands behind her and is encouraging her to run. WE look and sound like a third world nation with dictators as our candidates. What does it matter was her answer when asked about Benghazi. he and this administration knows the truth about the gun swap that went wrong causing the deaths of those in the embassy.
