Hillary, seriously, the American people are not as stupid as you think.

I really don't get it.  Why can't Hillary learn from her husband's mistakes?  If Bill had only said "Ooops, I did it, I am sorry", the whole Monica problem would have gone away.  The American people are pretty forgiving.  However, he stonewalled, and lied ("I did not have sex with that woman", etc.), and the whole thing blew up in his face.

Seventeen years later, and Hillary is doing the same thing with her email server and her emails and all her comments about what she did, what she sent, what she read , what she didn't send, etc.  Once again, an "Ooops, I made a mistake, I am sorry and let me give my server to the FBI so they and the State Department can have it", would have made the whole problem go away.  But, no.  She's got to stonewall and lie.

See, here are the problems I have with her and what she has said.

First, Hillary is an attorney.  As an attorney, she knows what documents comprise Attorney Work Product and what documents are Attorney Client Privileged.  The documents don't have to say those words - it's the content that makes them eligible for the marking and the protection.  In the same way, as Hillary was reading incoming emails and writing emails, from the content of the same, she would know, by the content, that the messages were classified or top secret.  It's as simple as that.  If Hillary didn't know by the content what was important enough to merit being marked classified or top secret, she was not qualified to serve as Secretary of State.

Second, Hillary is not new to this whole governmental thing.  She is well aware of the Freedom of Information Act, which requires the government to maintain and control (in order to be able to make the documents available to the public, even those classified or top secret, when their classifications are changed) all writings made by public officials because such are PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.  As Secretary of State, Hillary was a public official and ALL her writings having to do with official government business were and are the property of the government of the United States which holds these documents on behalf of the American people.  By using a private server, Hillary was trying to do an end run around the Freedom of Information Act, which is simply not allowed.  Hillary, like Lois Lerner, appears to have been trying to hide what she did.

Third, she is the fox guarding the hen house.  Telling the American people that "I will release what I believe to be relevant" or something very close thereto, does not instill trustworthiness.  Hillary made the initial error in judgement to use a private server instead of using the State Department server.  If she can make that error in judgment, how do we know she did not make an error in judgment in deciding what emails to provide to the State Department?  Why did she not just turn the server over to the State Department whole, and ask them to take and release the public documents only and leave the "private" yoga and wedding planning emails for her to deal with later?  Who reviewed her emails and did they have security clearance to review classified and top secret documents?  If they did not have clearance, how is Hillary giving that person access to classified documents any different than what Petraeus did by turning over similar information to his mistress/biographer?

Fourth, why did she try (unsuccessfully, it seems) try to "wipe" the server?  And why did she turn the unsecured and apparently unerased server over to an organization which was unable to secure classified or top secret information, and which did not have security clearance to hold such documentation?  Same questions go for her attorney - again, no security clearance to hold such documents and his office was not equipped to safely hold such documents.  Once again we have to ask, why and how is this not similar to what Petraeus did and why isn't Hillary facing charges?

I'd love to hear her respond to such questions in an honest truthful manner.  Unfortunately, If a journalist ever had the backbone to ask her such questions, I'm sure Hillary would try to respond with her very lacking sense of humor like she did when she was asked if she wiped the server.  Her response?  A lame attempt at a joke "What, like with a cloth?!"

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  It's clear that Hillary is unable to learn from her husband's mistakes.  Hopefully, the American people will learn from history and not elect a person to whom the truth is such a foreign concept.
