Is Hillary Clinton in trouble for having government secrets on her private email server? The inspector general for the U.S. intelligence community concluded that some of the emails Clinton and others exchanged on her private server while she was Secretary of State contained classified information. However, there has been an official disagreement over when and whether the information in the emails was actually classified. Some experts, officials, and members of Congress contended that her use of that private messaging system violated State Department protocols and procedures, and Federal laws and regulations. Legally, If Clinton knowingly used her private server to handle classified information she could have a problem. But if she didn’t know the material was classified when she sent or received it she’s safe. …show more content…
She agreed to turn the server over to the Justice Department, along with a thumb drive containing copies of thousands of messages already provided to the State Department. When Clinton turned over more than 30,000 emails to the department in December, she said that she had deleted an equal number that were personal, including messages about the planning of her daughter's wedding and her mother's funeral. The problem was that it was Clinton who decided which emails would be preserved and handed over, an arrangement that Republicans were bound to see as suspicious. Republicans asserted that Clinton's previous statements that she possessed no classified information were untrue and they demanded an investigation of her mishandling of classified
There is no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly
After her conversations with Tripp, Monica Lewinsky was subpoenaed by the lawyers for Paula Jones. Lewinsky then under a sworn affidavit, commented by saying that she did not have any affairs with President Clinton. While this is lying and could be used as obstruction of justice, Lewinsky did this in an attempt to avoid having to testify for the Jones case. At this point Clinton's character seems to have changed into being disrespectful and disloyal.
The Monica Lewinsky case Monica Lewinsky’s sexual relationship with Bill Clinton showed America that no matter how high up you are in the government one can still make an average man’s mistakes. Monica Lewinsky was an intern at the white House at the White House when she began the sexual relationship with Clinton. Soon after changing jobs to working at the pentagon, Lewinsky’s secret conversations with Clinton were secretly recorded by an ex friend of Lewinsky. “Lewinsky, then at age 24, was befriended by a coworker, Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded telephone conversations about Lewinsky’s affair with Clinton” (“Monica Lewinsky” 2). The tapes were then sent to Kenneth Starr who was investigating the Clintons.
Deaths usually go in threes and Khloe Kardashian has just experienced her third friend to pass away within a short time. Aron “Eric Aranbayev passed away from a hit and run. Page Six, July 23, 2015, reported there is a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who ran him over. Aron, 40, operated the jewelry store Rafaello & Co. on West 47 th Street. A police source told The Post that Aron was getting out of his car around 11:15 p.m. when a man driving a Dodge magnum drove past him at a frightening speed. Aron hollered at the man to slow down. The driver hit the brakes, reversed and sped toward Aron. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he passed away on July 20.
One of the things Clinton is most famous for, but not the proudest of, is his affairs. The issue of Clinton having an affair with Monica Lewinsky is purely personal. It should have been discussed within his family and in his family alone. Many people seem to forget that Presidents before him have done the exact same thing. John F Kennedy is probably the best known with his affairs. This doesn't diminish the fact that Clinton took it one step farther and lied about the affairs.
In March 2015, another scandal emerged, involving accusations that Clinton had used a private email server as Secretary of State to conduct official business.
This document will discuss the way Condoleezza Rice overcame racial and sexist discrimination in the civil war struggle and Jim Crowe laws in Birmingham. It will also discuss my reasons for choosing Condoleezza Rice, obstacles leading to his success, importance of education to the individual, motivation to achieve, how she inspired me to pursue educational and professional success. This paper will also conclude with a summary of this discussion.
Inside any presidency, including Clinton’s, there are many issues, discussions, deals, and secrets. Many of these are exposed to the American people, but a lot of these are kept completely quiet as they could turn out to have a negative effect on the current sitting president,
Here, the need to disclose the contents of the President’s computer is not related to the President’s performance of his duties like, for example, protecting military, diplomatic, or sensitive national security secrets. Therefore, the
to everyone still wanting to know the whole story behind the email scandal. Democrats, and Mrs. Clinton see the media reaction and persistence to bring up the issue as being unfair. They also criticize republican candidates for constantly bring up her the issue and her character. However, democrats and Mrs. Clinton believe that they have not lost supports over the email scandal, and she will continue to gain support as the primary’s draw closer. Honestly, I am shocked that not more people are outraged by Mrs. Clinton’s actions. America prides itself on be an honest country where the law applies to everyone. However, it seems that Mrs. Clinton is above the law, because she does not seem to be facing serious consequences for her illegal actions. As a voter two thing strongly upset me about her possibly being the president of our country. I do not feel that I could trust her, especial.ly since she did not own up to her own actions. The second thing that bothers me is how she has handled this whole scandal. Mrs. Clinton did not apologize for her actions or share the whole story of the email
Between 2009 and 2013 she sent 62,320 emails. Over half of these emails contained information that was work-related. This equates to 21.5 work-related emails per day (Keneally). Although most of these emails contain little information of importance, 65 are being withheld by the government because they include classified information (Atlantic). While this may seem like a trivial fact, it is quite the opposite. In fact, Hillary’s actions could potentially break four federal laws. The first is the Federal Records Act, which requires agencies to keep their official communications, including work-related emails. Knowingly deleting emails, the same way Hillary did, can result in a fine or one year in prison. The second law is the Freedom of Information Act, which ensures public access to agency records and information. This information is supposed to be presented in a timely manner. However, Mrs. Clinton only presented 55,000 pages of her emails that she declared “relevant”. Of course, if she had something to hide in those emails, she would not have made those public. How then do we trust that she was honest in the bring forth of these documents? The third law are the regulations regarding the National Archives. These regulations require information to be readily found when they are needed (NPR). When Hillary was first questioned about her private server, she declared that there were no classified emails
I have decided to vote for Hillary Clinton. I have reached this opinion because I agree in the majority of her beliefs. One example is Hillary’s belief in Obama Care. I agree with Mrs. Clinton because my mother works in the medical field and a significant amount of the people that she helps can’t afford their insurance or don’t have any. Thanks to Obama Care thousand of people are now covered by Obama Care. Hillary also believes that schools should be a “Gun-Free Zone,” I also believe that schools should be free of a guns. I think that guns bring fear and students would not be able to concentrate, not to mention they are incredibly dangerous. Another opinion Hillary and I share is women should be allowed to serve in military combat positions.
They also more than insinuated that she had deleted some of the emails from the server she had at her home and accused her of lying about it.
Let’s not forget who is accusing her the most: the Republicans. They hold Hillary Clinton to a very high standard and they are not doing so to their own candidates. The Republicans are desperate to take down Hillary Clinton and they will do anything they can to do so. According to the Washington Post, the Republicans are bombarding Hillary Clinton with questions about her two emails, then they should ask those same questions to Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. Jeb Bush, as governor of Florida, used his private email to discuss troop deployments to the Middle East and Mitt Romney deleted all of his emails that were sent during his administration as governor from the government servers. Basically, using private emails and deleting other emails is not only associated with one party. In the end, the Republicans are trying to blow this out of proportion for their own
As many know, Hillary Clinton has been exchanging confidential emails on her private email domain and private server for years. Clinton is not fit to be the president of the United States. There have been many scandals such as the Benghazi issue with Clinton in the past. She may as well be lying about her whole entire campaign. These are not new, they have been going on for many years.
