Hey, NYT, If Hillary Clinton Wants Voters To Trust Her, She Should Start By Admitting She Was Indeed “Extremely Careless” With Her Emails
[guest post by Dana]
The New York Times would like you to know that Hillary Clinton is aware of that pesky trust issue that’s been dogging her the entire campaign and that she is working on it:
For most of her presidential campaign, whenever Hillary Clinton has been confronted with polls showing that a majority of voters do not trust her, she has attributed the problem to decades of wild Republican attacks and right-wing conspiracy theories.
Last week, speaking to a sympathetic crowd in Chicago, she also pointed a finger in a surprising new direction: at herself.
“I personally know I have work to do on this front; a lot of people tell pollsters they don’t trust me,” Mrs. Clinton said in a speech to the Rainbow/Push Coalition on June 27. “It is certainly true I have made mistakes,” she said a moment later, adding, “So I understand people having questions.”
The questions grew far more intense after the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey Jr., on Tuesday bluntly contradicted numerous statements Mrs. Clinton and her aides had made over the past year in defending her email practices as secretary of state.
Though Mr. Comey’s stark critique of her actions as “extremely careless” came after he recommended that she not be criminally charged, it cast a harsh light on perhaps the central challenge to Mrs. Clinton and her campaign: how to get skeptical voters to trust her.
Yet the snippet of introspection last week from Mrs. Clinton, a candidate not known for public soul-searching, may have signaled an important shift in how she and her campaign hope to do just that.
“You can’t just talk someone into trusting you,” she told her audience. “You’ve got to earn it.”
Certainly it’s true that trust is earned. But the problem is, Hillary Clinton just doesn’t believe she is untrustworthy or has done anything wrong. Not really. It’s still everyone else’s fault. She just has the unfortunate bad luck of getting caught in the crosshairs of other people’s incompetency. And when your premise is that everyone else is at fault from the get-go, there really isn’t any reason to own anything. Not even when it’s the Director of the FBI laying out the case against you:
In an interview with Scott Pelley on the CBS Evening News, Clinton once again demonstrates that she really doesn’t understand (or care) about building trust with voters. This is in spite of the efforts of the New York Times to convince us otherwise.
At the 5:10 mark:
Scott Pelley: Well, were you extremely careless?
Hillary Clinton: No, I was not, and neither were the 300 people who sent me that material.

The arrogance and self-conceit of this woman never fails to stun.

hunson abedeer (80144e) — 7/9/2016 @ 9:27 amI’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Hillary could have sex with a goat in Macy’s window while eating aborted baby parts – all captured on live TV – and 40% of Americans would still vote for her. Furthermore, she could, as another commenter noted, be caught on video roasting an aborted baby for Thanksgiving and the so called progressives would ask for the recipe. Liberalism is, indeed, a mental disorder.

You were not highjacking the thread. You were just showin a parallel case. The NYT thinks poor people deserve to be above the law, too.
Although with Hillary it requires something on the order of a double quadruple axel.

Basically, Team Democrat realizes that Hillary’s not really capable of inspiring the overwhelming black voter turn-out which propelled Barack to victory, so they’re pouring gasoline on the fire in order to motivate black voters to get out to the polls in November.
Same with the young voter demographic. Young voters aren’t inspired to vote for the old hag the way they were for Barack, so she’s devised the “free college tuition!” strategy.
As Winston Churchill famously stated, “Democracy is the worst form of government … except for all the others.”

papertiger (c2d6da) — 7/9/2016 @ 10:56 amIt’s not just “free” tuition. Clinton is also supporting a $15 minimum wage, increased ACA “help” and dropping the Medicare eligibility age to 55. She’s covering the panem angle pretty well, leaving the circenses to her former supporter who is currently floating Gen. Michael Flynn (D) as a VP choice. I was hoping for Newt so there would be at least one Republican involved in the race.
Rick Ballard (ddb240) — 7/9/2016 @ 11:22 amSure, Hillary. And Walter Duranty was just an intrepid reporter for the New York Times trying to foster good relations with our Soviet neighbors.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 7/9/2016 @ 12:30 pmHillary is an out and out psychopath, her obsession is to make the USA into a mirror image of her totalitarian compulsions. She can’t control her husband, and try as she might she can’t control her own emotions. Her violent outbursts in the White House have been well chronicled by Secret Service officers. Her staff is terrified of her. Her record shows one failure after another, from Waco to Benghazi, with dozens of dead left wake. She’s was walking time bomb waiting to explode.

Meanwhile, Barack is absolutely 100% certain what the motives were of the police officers in Baton Rouge and Minnesota.

laurel (1413da) — 7/9/2016 @ 1:20 pmSo, Comey was wrong about the reason for not prosecuting her.
If she won’t admit to being “extremely careless” then that means she did this willfully.
She’s admitting to intent.
Steve57 (a8355f) — 7/9/2016 @ 2:57 pmWhat would have happened if Comey had ruled it as criminal? Would they send agents to separate her from the hive?
papertiger (c2d6da) — 7/9/2016 @ 3:17 pm“300 people” – notwithstanding her immunity from prosecution due to her Clinton-ness, there’ is the most likely explanation for the Comey charade. I suspected greymail but 300 Obama officials who are all ignoring the rules and procedures for safeguarding national security information would have decapitated the government. The irony is she was provided with the tools and equipment to to properly handle classified communications. She just didn’t want to use it. Obama and apparently 300 others knew it and didn’t care. That’s why she’s skating. Why congressional republicans couldn’t draw that out of Comey is a mystery.
crazy (fcf2fd) — 7/9/2016 @ 4:14 pmComey also can’t prosecute any of them for sending classified information to Hillary!’s private server. Not without prosecuting Hillary! for setting up the server and demanding that they use it. And demanding that they strip off all the classification markings and just send her the damn email.

She is a criminal, but the SH@T STEW is on the table. BON APPETIT.
One observation absent from the discussions about the Dallas shooter is the recent instruction from ISIS to lone wolf terrorists to limit their murderous rampages to white people. Otherwise the Obama Administration would mislabel the attack as a ‘hate crime’ or some variant of ‘workplace violence’ so as to deny credit for a successful attack to the ISIS inspired terrorists.
The Dallas shooter specified that he wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers. The ISIS connection should be closely examined openly, in the light of day. Moreover, the intermediate links to the New Black Panthers and to the Nation of Islam require close scrutiny.

I guess it would be armchair Congresscrittering to suggest every single R on the panel should have btchslapped Comey with that email, forcing him to answer why it was not evidence of intent.
Matador (77765d) — 7/10/2016 @ 8:49 am39.Steve57 (a8355f) — 7/9/2016 @ 4:59 pm
That wasn’t really classified, though. Stripping off the markings would have been valid, as it was only the markings that rendered it classified. The e-mails that were sent aht were marked classified, three oof them, really shouldn’t have been, and if they should have should have been sent on the classified system, which could not e-mail the Secretary of State.
GUS (30b6bd) — 7/9/2016 @ 9:31 pm
Even more important, to avoid inadvertantly leaving some traces of criminal violations of criminal law.
But setting up that server does not indicate an intent to send classified information to an unapproved location. The system was set up to replace the State Department’s system for sending unclassified e-mail, although lots of stuff on that system maybe should have been classified, but it was impractical to use the classified system too much because it was only accessible in certain locations, where you also had to be careful not to take a cellphone or laptop into. They weren’t living on a military base, and they weren’t on duty or available, only during certain hours.
The State Department actually didn’t even trust their classified system, and used a system belonging to a different agency, when they really wanted to communicate in secret,
Comey seemes to confirm – at least hhe did not deny – that there maybe is a separate investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

But tried to claim she’s more practical.
I’ll tell you what might a little more ractical.
1. Separate grading from teaching. The person who does the teaching should not be doing the grading. It probably even shouldn’t be done by the same school.
2. No money is due to a college or educational institution until someone passes a course, except for what may be charged in advance and paid for by the student without borrowing.
3. Pay money in advance for tutoring and online learning, and access to libraries and databases.
4. Do not require someone to be a full time or even a half time student to get reimbursed, sp people can proceed at their own pace. And remember, no federal money unless someone passes the course, and no money lent until a course is passed. There can be small grants.

Waco was Bill’s doing. Jay William Buford, head of the BATF in Little Rock, who murdered three of his own men in the initial raid on February 28, 1993, hoping to blame David Koresh for their deaths, was a Friend of Bill and not of Hillary. Buford had been in charge of the investigation into the first, unsuccessful attempt to murder Alice McArthur in Little Rock in 1982, which was done using a bomb.
Sammy Finkelman (c82029) — 7/10/2016 @ 9:41 amTo help cut thru the BS…
“JOHN HINDERAKER: Are Blacks Disproportionately Involved In Police Shootings?
What was the racial breakdown of those who were shot by police in 2015? The largest number, 494, almost exactly half, were white. 258 were black, 172 were Hispanic, and the remaining 66 were either “other” or unknown. (Interestingly, Asians are rarely shot by police officers.)
The 258 blacks represent 26% of the total. That is about double the percentage of blacks in the American population. Is that prima facie evidence of racism on the part of law enforcement? Of course not. It is common knowledge that blacks have an unusually high rate of contact with the police, both as victims and as perpetrators. In 2012-2013, the Department of Justice found that blacks were the perpetrators of 24% of all violent crimes where the race of the perpetrator was known (in 7.8% of violent crimes, it was unknown).
So the percentage of blacks fatally shot by police officers (26%) is almost exactly equal to the percentage of blacks committing violent crimes (24%). Indeed, given that the black homicide rate is around eight times the white rate, it is surprising that the portion of blacks fatally shot by policemen is not higher.”

There is no epidemic of police shootings; neither has it suddenly become known what blacks have always had to face. Theer is much more violene, and even killings, inside prisons.

Well, you see, if she had had a state.gov address, it would have been equally a problem if they had e-mailed something classified to her unclassified state.gov address, which is what hdr22@clintonemail.com was in the place of.
One caveat: Because she was not on the classified system either, any e-mmail that was classified had to be sent to one of her top aides, or maybe somebody might in some cases have sent something to her unclassified – but known only to a few – e-mail address.

ropelight (596f46) — 7/10/2016 @ 9:05 pmSo, I don’t know what. Is it settled that he had a permit or he didn’t have a permit? I read in one newspaper that he did.
And, whether he did or not, did he mention the permit?
And why does anyone think mentioning he has a permit is a good thing to say? A cop could interpret that as being that he has intention to take him off his guard when he sees the gun coming out, so that the other person could have a chance to shoot him. That kind of statement actually raises a red flag.
When someone says he wants to kill you, you should believe him. And when someone says he doesn’t want to kill you, you should not believe him.
