LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Hillary Clinton withheld several important work-related emails. She was ordered not to delete or withhold any emails, but choose to do so anyway.
Whether her decision to withhold is grounded in defiance or ignorance is irrelevant. The fact is, she is either too criminal or too ignorant to deserve the Oval Office.
This criticism of her comes from the State Department's audit of her email. According to the auditor, Clinton never used the secure department email set up for her. Instead, she used a private server that turned out to be insecure. Her emails were repeatedly hacked and read by others.
One email has captured attention because it plainly indicates Clinton knew the risk she was taking. "Let's get separate address or device but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible," Clinton emailed her Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin.
The line is telling, it reveals Clinton knew her private server could be insecure. Yet, she never used the secure address created for her.
Then, when she was required to turn in all her emails, this particular one wasn't handed it. Clinton deleted it. But Huma Abedin didn't delete her copy, and turned it in, which is the only way auditors discovered it.
Clinton was clearly trying to hide something. What did she and her staff successfully delete? We may never know.
What we do know is that Clinton broke a major rule, as well as a law, and has shown contempt for the investigation. Rather than level with the American people, she still pretends she did nothing wrong.
Americans might have more respect for her if she admitted her error.
Instead, she is forcing herself to lie on a daily basis because she's afraid it will cost her at the polls.
And it should, so long as she continues to lie.
We can forgive many transgressions. Even presidents are human. But here we have a candidate that should know better. A candidate that has a reputation for being robotic and untrustworthy. Imagine what a moment of sincere honesty would do? It could humanize her a bit.
Instead, she continues to double down on her deception. And she keeps losing.
Her emails have been hacked, read, passed around and leaked. Who's to say another country doesn't have a blackmail file on her?
Even if Clinton intended nothing criminal, she has demonstrated ignorance, a willingness to deceive, and a lack of integrity.
Truly this isn't what we want in our Commander-in-Chief. Assuredly, we can do better than this.
