#1 "He also points to the unusual absence of a permanent inspector general during Clinton's entire 2009-2013 term at the department. He said the 5¹/₂-year vacancy was unprecedented.

"This is a major gap. In fact, it's without precedent," he said. "It's the longest period any department has gone without an IG."

Hmm. Almost as if they didn't WANT anyone there who could look over their shoulders.

#2 The purpose of the IG is to identify and eliminate trouble makers. Whistle blowers just fair so well.~

Hilldabeast should have known that and appointed one of her minions to the job.

#3 Clinton said something quite revealing yesterday.

You know, you can’t get information off the classified system in the State Department to put on an unclassified system, no matter what that system is. We were very specific about that. And when you receive information, of course, there has to be some markings, some indication that someone down the chain thought that this was classified and that was not the case.

She intentionally ommitted one key word in her statement - "legally". Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Mills and Abidien if you haven't already you may want to retain legal counsel. You also may want to ask Ms. McDougal about her views on refusing immunity.

#4 State Department tried to make ‘stand-alone’ network for Clinton

"Still, the comments appear to indicate that State Department officials went out of their way to accommodate Clinton’s unusual bespoke email setup, which involved the exclusive use of a private email account housed on a personal server. Critics of Clinton’s arrangement have tried to force the State Department to clarify whether her private email account and server were expressly permitted by department officials."

#5 Seems I recall from a few months back, there being a one-off Burg commenter from the Foggy Bottom Home for Questionable Ethics.

Perhaps Ms "You're all Republican Meanies" would care to comment again?
