It's been quite a day on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton's email problems. Hillary has decided to take the position that the email problems are just a ginned up political ploy from Republicans like Benghazi. Seriously, Hillary is blaming the FBI investigation into her private unsecured (and clearly illegal) email system on Republicans. Apparently, the death of the US ambassador and three other men in a very poorly secured State Department facility in Benghazi is just a political ploy for Queen Hillary. So too, Hillary's clear disregard of the applicable laws and her use of an unsecure system that let foreign governments get some of America's most secret information is a ploy too. Even for Mrs. Clinton, this is an amazing position. These are clear failures on her part, seemingly criminal failures on her part, but she dismisses them as political ploys by people who are not even involved. The FBI is president Obama's FBI, not the Republican FBI. No amount of deflection by Hillary will work this time.
Even Bernie Sanders who famously gave Hillary a pass about her "damn emails" at the first debate, is now having a change of heart. Here is how CNN reported on Sanders' interview by Jake Tapper today:
Asked Sunday by CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" whether voters should interpret his refusal to engage Clinton on the email issue to mean that Clinton did nothing wrong, Sanders replied with a firm, "No."
"Nope, nope. That is not, I think, a fair assessment. That is, I think, a very serious issue," Sanders said. "There is a legal process taking place, I do not want to politicize that issue. It is not my style."
Sanders is never slow to blame things on Republicans, but he's not doing that here. Clearly, Sanders understands the importance of Hillary's misconduct regarding the top secret information. So too, do the American people. We are watching Hillary Clinton melt down.
