United States News Title: Hillary trainwreck: It was “inconvenient” to carry two devices for two e-mail accounts. Also, I destroyed tons of e-mails. Believe it or not, America, todays newfangled gizmos are capable of accessing multiple e-mail accounts from the same device. You dont need separate iPhones for your Gmail and work mail. And even if you did, even if the State Departments security tech required a dedicated device for e-mail, what kind of goon would conclude that the inconvenience of carrying two devices (or having a lackey carry two devices for you) instead of one trumped protecting national security at the cabinet level? What kind of politician would admit that? Who would dare even attempt a convenience argument knowing that the public already knows she took the much more inconvenient step of setting up a private server at home? Her personal e- mail operation was more sophisticated than what 99-point-whatever percent of the public will ever use. Not only is the inconvenience excuse horrible politics, its transparently false. And why is she claiming an aversion to two devices when she admitted to using two devices on camera just a few weeks ago? Her team had a week to cook up some spin and this diarrhea is what they came up with? It got worse. She admitted that she deleted e-mails lots of them, although she insists that they were personal ones and therefore she wasnt required to turn them over to State. For instance, she said, sometimes she e-mails with Bill. How do we know shes telling the truth about that? We dont. Youll have to trust her. (Incidentally, Bill says he doesnt use e-mail. Oops!) Will she turn over her server for independent analysis and verification that theres nothing on there? Nope. The server will remain private. Youll have to trust her. How do we know she was telling the truth today when she said most of her e-mails were to fellow State Department employees, which means theyre already in the archives? And why does that matter given that, even if its true, it still means were potentially missing every exchange she had with other private accounts, whether operated by other State employees, foreign leaders, etc? Youll have to trust her. Even though shes one of the least trustworthy people in American political life and gave you zero reason today to adjust that opinion. In fact, the first question she took was from a Turkish reporter who asked her, surreally, whether a similar fuss would be made over her e-mails if she was a man. That may have been the only honest moment at the presser: It was so nakedly a planted question, designed to reinforce her opening pander about celebrating womens rights to the UN code to progressives watching that they should cut the First! Woman! President! some slack on this that it didnt even qualify as subterfuge. It was just Hillary and her sympathizers playing cynical games to distract from the fact of her own corruption. This whole presser was her own personal expression of the who gives a sh*t non-spin that Democrats have been pushing for the past week. Theres no defense to what she did. She did it to evade accountability, at great risk to national security, and everyone understands it. The plan here isnt to explain it away; theres no explanation. The plan is to feign accountability by giving a presser, even if its a trainwreck, and then wait for the media to get bored in the knowledge that voters, supposedly, will simply say who gives a sh*t. She might as well have walked out there today, said that, and then walked off. If Democrats cant field a primary challenger to her after this disaster, they deserve her. Im now moving the 2016 election from likely Democratic to toss-up. At least Bill is a good liar. Update: Via the Standard, unbelievable. Update: Two devices is one too many for her, huh? Judicial Watch claims that not only did she operate multiple devices, she insisted on using Apple products even though States IT people told her that their enhanced security is designed for Blackberry only. On at least half a dozen occasions Clintons top aides asked the State Departments Office of Security Technology to approve the use of an iPad and iPhone, according to JWs inside source. Each time the request was rejected for security reasons, the source confirms. The only mobile device that meets the agencys security standards is the BlackBerry, JWs source said, adding that the Office of Security TechnologyBureau of Diplomatic Securitys Directorate of Countermeasures must approve all equipment such as cameras, phones and communication devices for all officials. Evidently set on using the popular Apple devices, Clinton repeatedly challenged the ban and asked management in the Office of Security Technology to allow their use. The executive secretariat responsible for all communications and information technology always rejected the requests, JWs source affirms. From day one Hillary was trying to get the iPhone and the iPad approved, the State Department official told JW. She kept trying and trying to get us to approve the iPhone and the iPad, but we wouldnt do it. Technology security experts tested the iPhone and the iPad several times because she constantly wanted them approved, but it never happened. They never approved her for iPhone/iPad use, allegedly. Did she end up using those devices anyway? Update: Heres video of the full presser. Id forgotten in my haste to get this up that she went after the Senate GOP over its Iran letter at the beginning, another little dog whistle to lefties to circle the wagons for her on this. Shes being a good soldier for Obama, now they need to be good soldiers for her. The convenience nonsense comes right at the beginning. The State Department does allow private e-mail use for official business, she reminds everyone. But thats a lie too: They allow occasional use of private e-mail, not exclusive use. Her own policies as SoS confirm that. Shes not even trying here. Update: Right. Never once in four years. Even though the White House acknowledges that she e-mailed with Obama himself more than once.

My serious question is "WHO has power to slap her into line and get her to admit to this? Anybody that knows anything at all about Bubbette! and her history knows she admits to nothing.

Why should she be any different? Eighty percent of politicians have openly lied to and insulted the American people for so long and in so many ways that they know the American people have forgotten how to have a healthy reaction to it.
