Erasing evidence

2015_03 27 Clinton's email

“Hillary Clinton lacks a track record of accomplishment. She is not candid, which suggests her character is flawed. And I think now in e-mail gate, we not only have a situation where she is clearly not being candid. I mean, her saying all those e-mails she erased were just her and Bill chatting is a little bit like Richard Nixon saying those erased moments on the tape were he and Pat talking.”  –Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on “Fox News Sunday”

Nixon-Hillary erased evidence

HILLARY Watergate

Yesterday, I saw a snarky remark on Facebook that the Zeifman-fired-Hillary story was “typical Tea Party b.s.”  The commenter cited Snopes.  When I did my own search, I found the article (linked below) in which Zeifman himself says he fired Hillary for cause.  I also found the Snopes article which

  • did NOT CITE the Zeifman article (which is not difficult to find) and
  • cited but did NOT LINK to source in which Zeifman allegedly said he did NOT fire Hillary.

I think this Snopes article puts a big, red flag on the rumors floating around that Snopes is in the tank for the Obamacrats and possibly funded by George Soros.

    Great takedown of Snopes. You might also want to take a look at this equally great takedown of Politifact and realize we truly are on our own:

    What about GWB’s 5 million deleted emails?

      My reply:

      If I’ve read the Bush story correctly, there was speculation that some emails sent to and from White House staffers’ private email accounts may have dealt with the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

      That is a very far cry from a Secretary of State who got her own ambassador KILLED and then LIED about, who had completely bypassed the government email system and kept ALL her SecState email on a private server, and then deleted 30,000 emails that were UNDER SUBPOENA.

      Plus, this comes on the heels of Lerner’s and numerous others who “oopsie” can’t find email because … let me think … it might prove they committed felonies on behalf of the Obama administration?
