In what can only be described as the funniest thing since Bernie Madoff complained about being beaten out of 13 cents in change, the Clinton campaign staff are up in arms about the mishandling of confidential information. I don’t know why. I’m sure there was no criminal intent and like Hillary says that stuff is mismarked all the time.
Evidently, some of Hillary’s staff, who had no problem with her careless handling of our nation’s secrets are now apoplectic about information from Hillary’s interview with the FBI possibly being leaked. Does any one but me see the irony in this? By Hillary’s own account, she did nothing wrong, broke no laws and strictly obeyed all the rules of the State Department and federal government, so what could possibly be in those notes that could harm her. On the contrary, they would clear her, right?
John Podesta commented on Twitter:
“Already hearing from people who have been contacted by reporters with knowledge of the content of their interviews in FBI 302’s.”
“Tough protocols on access to FBI’s 302’s must have included Republican speed dial to reporters.”
Jennifer Palmieri, who denied for months that Hillary received or sent classified materials for months, threw in her 2 cents worth:
“Would remind all that this material is classified. So this is leaking of classified material.”
Palmieri said during the time the FBI was investigating Clinton:
“Hillary didn’t send any classified materials over email: Hillary only used her personal account for unclassified email.”
That was directly contradicted by FBI Director, James Comey:
“From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Department, 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.”
The fact that Clinton and the campaign is so worried about leaks makes me wonder what is in those interview notes.
