Officials told investigators that they &#8220;did not &#8211; and would not &#8211; approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business.&#8221; <strong>The reason, those officials said, is because it breached department rules and presented &#8220;security risks.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The palpable lack of coherent response to this sudden revelation confirmed just how jarred by today&#8217;s events the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate was.<\/p>\n<p>As we first reported earlier today, the Clinton camp&#8217;s initial reaction was to use a kindergarten excuse: former secretaries of state were also doing it, or in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-05-25\/hillary-responds-damaging-state-department-report\">words of Hillary&#8217;s press secretary Brian Fallon<\/a>, &#8220;the Inspector General documents just how consistent her email practices were with those of other Secretaries and senior officials at the State Department who also used personal email.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Hillary was abusing Federal regulations and failed to maintain proper record-keeping practices, but others were doing it, so please look the other say. Which incidentally, was also a lie: Fallon did not address the report&#8217;s criticism of Clinton&#8217;s use of a private server, something no other secretary of state has done.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;explanation&#8221; only made the hole Hillary now finds herself in even deeper.<\/p>\n<p>So what did Hillary do next?<\/p>\n<p>Just a few hours later, Brian Fallon appeared on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Situation Room&#8221; and <strong>called into question the timing of the State Department investigation into Clinton&#8217;s use of a private email server.\u00a0 <\/strong>Fallon referred to the &#8220;<strong>appropriateness<\/strong>&#8221; of the investigation, parallel to the Justice Department&#8217;s investigation into the same issue, as &#8220;an open question&#8221; even if both Fallon and Hillary were aware of the two investigations for over a year.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, another conspiracy theory&#8230; the same kind of conspiracy theory that CNN want postal on Donald Trump for just 24 hours earlier when he dared to hint that something was &#8220;fishy&#8221; about the Vince Foster death. Oddly, there were no comparable accusations this time.<\/p>\n<p>Where thing got really unhinged, however, is when Fallon <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/presidential-races\/281290-clinton-aide-questions-timing-of-email-investigation\">tried to defend Clinton&#8217;s decision <\/a><strong>not to meet with the inspector<br \/>\ngeneral <\/strong>for the investigation by arguing that Clinton and her staff<br \/>\ndecided to &#8220;prioritize the Justice Department review.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When repeatedly asked by CNN&#8217;s Wolf Blitzer why Clinton didn&#8217;t have time to do both, Fallon noted both the handful of inquiries Clinton has responded to. But the punchline was that this too was another vast conspiracy &#8211;<strong>he stated &#8220;reports&#8221; from inside the office claiming that the investigation had an &#8220;anti-Clinton bias.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All Bush&#8217;s fault?<\/p>\n<p>Blitzer responded by asking Fallon, a former Justice Department spokesman, if he was leveling those accusations at State, but he said that he was not&#8230; even though quite clearly he did, in effect redoing what Trump did yesterday by mentioning the &#8220;Vince Foster story&#8221; and saying he would not talk about, when he too clearly did. This too was something that CNN&#8217;s Jonathan Tapper took umbrage with just 24 hours earlier.<\/p>\n<p>None such treatment for Mr. Fallon or Ms. Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>But what would lend at least some credibility to Hillary&#8217;s own <em>de novo<\/em> conspiracy theory is if the Inspector General was some hardened republican clearly out to get here. Here&#8217;s the problem: current Secretary of State Kerry asked Steve Linick, the State Department inspector general, to investigate after Clinton&#8217;s email arrangement came to light last year. <strong>President Barack Obama appointed Linick to the role in 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it was all&#8230; Obama&#8217;s fault.<\/p>\n<p>Then again maybe Hillary is right, and it is yet another vast conspiracy, <strong>a vast left-wing conspiracy <\/strong>that is. Because if Hillary is indeed right, that would mean that none other than&#8230; <em>Obama wants to take her down?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-05-25\/hillary-accuses-state-department-report-having-anti-clinton-bias\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-05-25\/hillary-accuses-state-department-report-having-anti-clinton-bias<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOTN Editor&#8217;s Note: The Clintons are the perfect example of everything that has gone terribly wrong with Washington. \u00a0The U.S. Federal Government has been taken over by a group of lawless and immoral elitists. \u00a0Their arrogance and hubris knows no &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=38848\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38848\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
