Sanders helps Clinton white-wash e-mail scandal

“I think the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails.” – Rep. Bernie Sanders (D-VT).

There stood Sanders, looking like an angry curmudgeon, who has said he wants to stop the corruption in government; defending Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal as a mere nuisance people are tired of hearing in the campaign. Meanwhile, she was yukking it up with her head bobbing like that of one of those bobble-head figures.

Clinton continued to pass off her e-mail problem as something that was perfectly legal, but that she wished she would have handled them differently. Never mind that some 400 classified documents have been uncovered so far. And never mind that she is under FBI investigation.

Yes, the fact that she mishandled e-mails is very important, but the real issue is the e-mail content. We need to see the dialog on what took place in Benghazi during the attack and during the months leading up to the attack.

What was her role during the five months preceding the attack, when there were a number of terrorist events in and around the consulate compound that warned of future actions. What was her reasoning for reducing security for the consulate when Ambassador Chris Stevens was pleading for increased protection? And what did she do to help Stevens and the other Americans during the attack?

She passed off the Select Committee on Benghazi as “an arm of the Republican National Committee,” where she will have to answer questions under oath later this month.

She studied under the master of denial, but this is bigger than determining what the meaning of “is” is.
