Hillary Lies About Emails; Trump Lies About Veteran Fundraising
John Sexton catches the Hillmeister in a giant lie today. Compare and contrast this, from John Podesta:
Secretary Clinton believed her emails to and from officials on their state.gov accounts were automatically captured and preserved in the State Department’s electronic system.
It was not until the Department contacted her in 2014 that she learned this was not the case.
With this, from Hillary’s press conference in . . . March 2015:
Second, the vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department.
Last time I checked, March 2015 came after 2014. Meaning that, after she had been told in 2014 that her emails had not been captured and preserved, she told the world in March 2015 that they had been. Nice catch by Sexton.
We can’t elect someone this dishonest.
Meanwhile, Kevin Drum (yes, Kevin Drum — facts pointed out by leftists are still facts) does an amazing job pointing out the differences between what Whiny McWhinyface said this morning about veterans’ funding, and what Trump said at the time. The contrasts are . . . stark. Go to his post for all of it, presented in a clean, easy-to-follow table. Here is a teaser:
What Trump says now: On why it took so long to disburse the money: “When you send checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars to people and to companies and to groups that you’ve never heard of, charitable organizations, you have to vet it. You send people out. You do a lot of work.”
What Trump said then: The organizations had been chosen before the event even took place: “The night benefited twenty-two different organizations, a number of which are Iowa based Veterans groups.”
Good work by Drum.
We can’t elect someone this dishonest.
So what then, David French?
Um . . . I’ll have to think about that one.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/31/2016 @ 6:59 pmWow. Trump claimed he had vetted hand picked veterans groups. Was he being thorough or just wasting the guy reaching for a handout’s time?

Then there’s this:
“The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) report focusing on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s calculated disregard for federal information retention laws not only excoriates Ms. Clinton and her staff for operating an illegal, rogue communications system and failing to retain legally-mandated government records, but thoroughly scotches several claims of innocence Ms. Clinton has made since evidence revealing her dishonesty began to appear in early 2015…”

Well then, he should have tossed his hat in the ring in 2015, shouldn’t he have?
The country has plenty of upstanding people who could have run. But they didn’t. Only 17 ran, and 16 dropped out and there is one left standing.
When it is going to sink in to the nevertumper’s heads that Trump won the nomination and will be the Republican party’s candidate. That ship has sailed. All the other potential candidates flopped and now the choices are Hillary or Trump. One of these two will be elected. All the other alternatives that you wish you had? They don’t exist. Hillary or Trump.

This, of course, will change no minds, nor is my posting of it an attempt to try. His supporters will ignore it, while we skeptics already assume that any word out of the man’s mouth is a self-serving lie.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:34 pmThe one is a a subset of the other.
FWIW, I too would have expected messages to and from government accounts to be under auto-retention, regardless of settings that individual users might employ. I wonder if that has changed in the meantime.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:38 pmYou are embarrassing yourself.
Patterico (86c8ed) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:46 pmWould you have assumed that, and repeated it to the media, after being explicitly told it was not true?
Patterico (86c8ed) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:46 pmToday Trump mentioned quite a few charities and clearly from the amounts they tried to spread the money around down to increments of $75K.
That is a lot of vetting and maybe he was just overly optimistic over what he thought his staff had accomplished.
Out of 10, 20, 30, 40 charities or more that have been “vetted”, it isn’t uncommon to find that some losers slipped through the cracks.
I’ve been on committees trying to disburse donations to people around the globe… it isn’t easy, because there are really good cheaters who give you earnest beautiful numbers that on first, second pass looked good and then burn you. Also, unless you have $6M going to one charity from one in hand lump sum, it can take time, pledged donors renege, all kinds of nonsense happens, but in the end all the donor money get disbursed.
I took my fiduciary duty seriously and I’d rather see other people move money slowly to the right charities rather than fast to the wrong ones.
In the end, if $6M or so gets to good charities, who cares if it took 5 months instead of 5 days.
God knows we don’t want any of it going the Clinton slush fund.
World class nitpicking… oh and please don’t tell me (as a guy who will vote for Trump) to go *bleep* myself. On this topic, that right has not been earned.. what next, start mad dogging and hollering bitch or snitch?
Classy words from a guy saying Trump is classless. I’m OK with “f*** Trump”, just not “f*** you Trump voter.” I’m not deeply offended and I get that people want to vent, but
if we are going to ban “pee stank”, then maybe drop the “f***” directed at anyone who simply disagrees?
Take some deep breaths. Cruz lost. That is a shame, but he had his own way of being a knucklehead sometimes and God knows I didn’t want to see Hillary running an ad of him reading Green Eggs and Ham.
Cruz lost to a guy that a bunch of you think is a lying coward… well, then Cruz wasn’t all that great if couldn’t beat a lying coward and a buffoon. All the names that Trump gets called here only indict Cruz as the guy who couldn’t even beat the lying, cheating, cowardly, no nothing, half cocked buffoon.
Cruz went up against a bare knuckle brawler and kept walking into the punches.
That’s his own damn fault and because Cruz couldn’t win, he leaves us with two crummy choices.
I say this to Cruz with tough love.. “Hell, you son of a *bleep*. how the hell did you lose to that ass*bleep*. Good God Almighty man, if you weren’t already standing there holding whatever is left of your ass I’d want to kick it.”
There. I feel better. Thanks for the venue.
The other thing Cruz could not contain was Trumps ability to treat the media like it is his *bleep*
steveg (fed1c9) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:48 pmI don’t fault Cruz for that. Trump turned Jeb and all his legacy cred and smart money into his *bleep* on a national stage. Trump really has a way of using the media to emasculate people, even though the media and he despise each other. Trump *bleep* slaps the media and then they crawl back and beg for their turn to have another shot at 10 seconds of fame taking a rude, crude butt slapping from their master.
Quite fascinating really.
the problem really lies with all the other departments, defense, commerce, cia, dia, who obviously saw the sender and yet didn’t report it, so most of the cabinet is liable, hence nothing will be done,
narciso (732bc0) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:50 pmCan the House and Senate prospectively impeach and convict whomever wins? As in “BOth these candidates are crooks. so whichever one wins is impeached!”
I’m guessing not.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:51 pmI guess we see it differently. I see it as, he went up against a soulless, terrible, self-promoting lying piece of dog crap, and the idiot voters preferred the latter, because idiots.
Patterico (86c8ed) — 5/31/2016 @ 8:57 pmThe idea of Trump as a “brawler” is hilarious to me. Mr. Bone Spurs is the biggest p-word on the planet.

They were indeed, temporarily preserved.
But it was up to each individual employee to decide which emails in ther possession were government records and should be archived.

Moreover, that was not a reason proffered by Trump’s lawyers, or by Trump, either for sealing them in the first place or against their release. It was that they were trade secrets. And, as Schneiderman said, and the court agreed, a game of three-card monte is not a protectable trade secret.

nk (dbc370) — 5/31/2016 @ 10:24 pm#41 Sammy Finkelman,
The fact that Hillary sent all those “work” emails to other government employees is one of the problems. See, she wasn’t on a protected server.
It’s so ironic how a big-government liberal like Hillary who wants the government to run everything, doesn’t want to use the government-protected server.
It’s almost like it might be because she’s hiding something, eh?

She saids work e-mails, which, by [her] definition, is what she turned over, and not what she deleted. And they were mostly e-mail to and from state.gov addresses.
She did turn them all over, eventually, because she couldn’t know which the State Department had a copy of, and which it didn’t, but much less than 90% – could be 10% – were archived.
Of course even if they were preserved they wouldn’t be easily retrievable. The other copies would be scattered among all the other e-mails.
There are some definite work e-mail she did not trun over, like with Petraeus in the Pentagon. She only turned over, for the most part, e-mail to and from state.gov addresses and the White House.
