| Huckabee on the Lois Learner e-mails |
| 2015-07-02 |
| [Daily Caller] During a speech in Baltimore at the National Sheriffs' Association Presidential Forum on Law Enforcement Monday, Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Mike Huckabee gave an interesting response to a question about cyber security. "We've seen just last week what happens when supposedly the Chinese have now hacked into the personel records of upwards of 20 million government employees. The one positive out of all that is that the only hope we have of maybe recovering Lois Lerner's emails from the IRS is to get them from the Chinese," Huckabee joked to a laughing crowd of sheriffs. Reportedly, no one at the White House is laughing at the Huckabee quip. I doubt anyone in the Clinton inner circle or in McLean is laughing either. Today we learned that the State Department has recently classified some of Clinton's emails [obviously after the fact] declaring 'Executive Privilege and National Security' which was a Foggy Bottom move postulated here some weeks ago. I suspect Learner's emails will suffer a similar fate in the days and weeks ahead. I have suspected for some time that Lerner was a 'focal point' for other government agencies requiring IRS access, not simply the White House. I also suspect Clinton's private e-mail server is now resting comfortably at a McLean, Virginia controlled government location. For U.S. Intelligence to fail to exploit the Clinton Foundation's unique foreign placement and access would borderline on professional negligence. For the criminally minded Clintons, [both attorneys] to fail exploit the cover of 'Executive Privilege and National Security' as a legal backstop would be equally as negligent. Something tells me the utiliity of 'Executive Privilege' was not overlooked. |

| #6 Declaring executive privilege or national security issues on Lois Lerner's emails? Gimme a break. Maybe executive privilege but one wouldn't think of "national security" regarding the IRS--tax collectors? Posted by JohnQC Depends on who her other 'clients' within the government were, and what they were doing with the information. |

| #5 Sadly, very sadly, I find myself more and more coming around to P2K's point of view. But instead of calling themselves the Beltway Party, it would be refreshingly honest if they would drop all pretense and just call themselves the Party. What would be most entertaining would be for Wikileaks or some such organization to purchase the emails from the Chinese and then publish the unedited version. Trump has the money. Maybe he'd do it. |

| #3 No question about it P2K. All the way to SCOTUS. Roberts has turned out to be a big disappointment to me. They should all just place a (B) Beltway after their last name or better yet nothing as there is no distinction now. |

| #2 The GOP establishment is compromised and will not seriously go after the miscreants. "It's all for unity" BS. The idiots still think they can work with the socialists. Boys and girls, it's the Beltway party and the rest is theater to keep you entertained. |

| #1 another reason to elect R's - the investigations should root out the bureaucrats as well as the political f*ckers that pushed this stuff. Make an example of them |
