Don’t get too excited. When it comes to the Clintons, perjury is merely an inconvenient speed bump on their five decade road to absolute power. In the ’90s, then-President Bill Clinton lied under oath about his sordid sexual affair with

Hillary Clinton’s email scandal isn’t going away just because she has held a news conference. More questions are coming up every day.

The bottom line is that Hillary Clinton risked national security, and completely destroyed public accountability, for what she claims in her defense was a trifling matter of personal convenience. She’s not qualified to hold any position of trust whatsoever with such astoundingly poor judgment.

In her big news conference, Hillary Clinton peddled the astounding excuse that she thought two different smart phones would be required to check both State Department mail and her personal mail when she traveled, and carrying two phones was just too much trouble, so she found it easier to set up her own private mail server — endangering national security and evading transparency laws in the process.

AP Reporter Matthew Lee argued that hackers “have more access to the State Department records and archives than the American public and Congress do” during Monday’s State Department briefing. “It seems to me a little bit unusual where we’re in

Hillary Clinton knew that her home-based email server violated the standards of the very sensitive department she headed. Yet she used it anyway, for four years. Reporters might want to ask why.

If history is any indication, we could be finally reading Hillary Clinton’s secretive personal emails sometime after the 2016 election. The law responsible for permitting the public to demand access to undisclosed information, the Freedom of Information Act, is a notorious bureaucratic snail.

Who is America’s greatest national security threat at the present time?

Hillary Clinton gave the game away long before she set up her personal email account. In a 2001 video clip, then-Sen. Clinton explains she didn’t want to use email because it could cause trouble during investigations.

In 2001, when George W. Bush’s transition team began moving into the White House, they encountered a remarkable amount of sloppy housekeeping, missing items, and petty vandalism from the outgoing Clinton team.
