Why Hillary should not be president and can be blackmailed
2015-08-14
WHAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT BUT WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT
An anonymous journalist comes to the same conclusion Rantburg readers wrote about six months ago...
Hillary will be totally blackmail-able if elected. Here's the logic:

1. It's safe to say that there were things on that server which could cause Hillary tremendous harm politically – which is why she destroyed the evidence that would have been exculpatory if you believed her explanation. In my mind, it's also why she used a private server to begin with.

2. She is lying about what was on that server, potentially to include while under oath in her upcoming congressional testimony.

3. If someone had all the copies of her emails and those of her staff, they could readily blackmail her because of the above. They'd have proof of her wrongdoing and her lying about it.

4. Hillary Clinton, as both a future Presidential candidate and a sitting Sec. of State would have been one of the Top 100 intelligence targets in the world and probably one of the top 10.

5. It's thus certain that the Chinese and Russians would each have had a team focused on accessing her communications.

6. Every security expert I know of has said it's a virtual certainty the Chinese and Russians both gained access to her server and all her emails. From what I know about their capabilities, I'd agree.

There are probably a bunch of folks in China and Russia who are praying (even if they're atheists) for Hillary to be elected. If she wins, they own the President of the United States. I can just imagine in a meeting with Putin, Hillary being told to back off supporting Ukraine or he'll release her emails (as he hands her a folder containing the most damaging ones for her to peruse). Put in that position, would Hillary fall on her sword or sacrifice a country like Ukraine? I don't know, but I wouldn't want to be living in Ukraine…

Someone with that kind of vulnerability to blackmail shouldn't be allowed to sweep the floors of the NSA, much less run our country.
She needs to be at least put in prison for violating the law and leaving our country vulnerable for the rest of her worthless life. I would prefer her to be tried for treason and shot on CSPAN, but life in prison would work too.

#16  It will get ugly. If there's no opportunity for favors and graft, look for the contribution to the Clinton Global Criminal Conspiracy Initiative's funding to dry up. No more $200K speaking fees. Bill will have to pay for his own underage hookers. Huma will get a new girlfriend...it all goes away

#15  She was born not suitable to be president. As was jug, as was Billy Jeff, as was Bush W.

#13  Douglas Adams: "It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

#8  Interesting, though, I sat all the way through last night's ABC World News and there was no mention of any email scandal. They went on at length about a school bus crash in New Jersey though.

#7  Shame? The Clintons don't know the meaning of the word.

We could hope that Champ's DoJ would prosecute but only Champ (er, ValJar) knows if it will. Maybe he'd like to clear the way for Biden.

But I'm afraid it's gotten down to Bernie Sanders.

So what if we have a 2016 election that pits avowed socialist Bernie Sanders against capitalist Donald Trump? At least that way the American people would finally have a clear choice.

#6  Blackmailed? Hah.

This assumes that the political and media establishments would react in a vigorously negative way should it all come to light.

This also assumes that one can "shame the shameless."

#5  Clintons can't be blackmailed. Blackmail assumes one cares about being exposed.

#4  Not to mention the game of black/gray/white propaganda that can be played by Russian/Chinese/hacker community. Who can really vouch for the authenticity or lack there of any email attributed to this fiasco. The act of cover up is as damaging if not more so because it opens that entire avenue of exploitation. There can be no trust.
