It’s easy to see why some feel numbed by the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal. Damning new “shoes” are dropping . . . well, fast and furious, to cite yet another administration outrage (see below).
Fox News, which last week disclosed that messages on Clinton’s private server went beyond even Top Secret classification, now reports they even included material on clandestine human-intelligence sources.
That is, secret agents and local assets in the field — people whose very lives are in danger if they’re exposed.
And this comes as President Obama’s own former defense secretary, Robert Gates, admitted, “the odds are pretty high” that her home server was accessed by one or more hostile foreign governments.
Governments like China or Iran — or Russia, notwithstanding the famous “reset” button Hillary gave to Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, ex-Attorney General Michael Mukasey writes in The Wall Street Journal that it’s now “nearly impossible to draw any conclusion other than that she knew enough to support a [criminal] conviction at the least for mishandling classified information.”
But will she ever even be charged?
Mind you, it’s Obama intelligence officials who have revealed the gravity of her secrecy violations. Clinton this week suggested they’re just part and parcel of that vast right-wing conspiracy, but anyone with a dash of common sense knows otherwise.
On the other hand, the State Department late Friday suddenly announced that, thanks to the weekend snowstorm, it can’t meet next week’s court-imposed deadline to release the rest of Clinton’s e-mails (the messages she didn’t first delete, that is).
So the agency wants another 30 days to comply. That’s right: an entire extra month.
Shake your head at the ridiculousness of it all — but don’t stop being outraged.
