The real advantage to telling the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you said. As you get older, that matters. Today The Wall Street Journal<\/a> posted an story by Kimberley Strassel<\/a> showing how lies about her emails are becoming a problem for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ms. Strassel notes that nothing Mrs. Clinton has previously stated about her emails has turned out to be true.<\/p>\n

The article cites a few problem areas:<\/p>\n

The Democratic<\/a> presidential aspirant on March 10 held a press conference pitched as her first and last word on the revelation that she\u2019d used a private email server<\/a> while secretary of state. She told reporters that she\u2019d turned over to the State Department<\/a> \u201call my emails that could possibly be work-related.\u201d And she insisted that she \u201cdid not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both of those statements have been proven to be false. Ms. Strassel points out that as a result the Benghazi<\/a> probe, Sidney Blumenthal<\/a> was forced to turn over his emails, which revealed work-related emails that had not been disclosed. Mr. Blumenthal’s emails also revealed that the emails Mrs. Clinton turned over had been altered–work related sentences and paragraphs had been removed.<\/p>\n

Since Mrs. Clinton began turning over her emails, some of them have been designated ‘classified.’<\/p>\n

The article points out:<\/p>\n

We also know that the State Department has now upgraded at least 25 of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s emails to \u201cclassified\u201d status. State is suggesting this is no big deal, noting that it is \u201croutine\u201d to upgrade material during the public-disclosure process. But that\u2019s beside the point. This isn\u2019t about after-the-fact disclosure. It\u2019s about security at the time\u2014whether Mrs. Clinton was sending and storing sensitive government information on a hackable private email system. Turns out, she was. For the record, it is a federal crime to \u201cknowingly\u201d house classified information<\/a> at an \u201cunauthorized location.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

From what we know so far, Mrs. Clinton is guilty of a crime. However, because she is not Richard Nixon<\/a> and there is no contemporary Woodward or Bernstein<\/a> who are going to inform the general public as to what is going on, she is not at risk of being held accountable. This is another example of the American media choosing not to do its job. Our nation needs a media that holds our leaders accountable. Right now we don’t have one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
