Clinton kept campaign staff in the dark about email scandal

I know, what a shocker, amirite?

From Washington Examiner

WikiLeaks shows Clinton hid email scandal from her own staff

A few days after stories about Clinton's personal email use broke for the first time, Philippe Reines, a longtime Clinton aide, admitted "there is just no good answer" to questions about her server.

Later, Tanden pressed Podesta on why Clinton's team did not disclose their private emails months earlier in order to avoid such a massive distraction around the time of her campaign kickoff.

"[I] guess I know the answer," Tanden said. "[T]hey wanted to get away with it."

May we presume from this that even her closest advisers do not trust her? They shouldn't, an neither should any of the rest of us. The woman elevates lying past an art form into the stratosphere.

A f'ing idiot, Mook. The rep on the Clinton's is that they are always lying.

Do either Neera Tanden or John Podesta even care? As long as there's something in it for them, why should they care? They're too deeply involved to not be aware of the possible payoffs.

and their efforts were not matched to the actual lay of the land.

But they are part of the 'elect her at any cost to anyone' squad, of course - arguably, very near the core of it (only Huma and Cheryl seem to be at a deeper level from what we know publicly).

Hillary's campaign staff was looking at the email "problem" from simply a political perspective, not an ethical or legal one. They could care less about ethics, they only care about the optics.

Translation:
1. Thirteen Blackberries hit with hammer.
2. BleachBit eliminated 30,000+ yoga and Chelsea wedding emails.
3. William Jefferson Clinton's staff sent a laptop containing four years of Hillary Clinton's emails to the State Department, but it was "lost" in space/the ether/Grand Central Station/a cab/the Lincoln Bedroom/WJC's underwear/buried in the Chappaqua mansion backyard by the dog.

And there are still voters out there that will vote for her...insane.

How can we trust her to run our country, take care of our citizens, etc. (Answer: We can't.) The magnitude of harm to our people by her incompetence...will be felt for years to come.

Please people, wake up before its too late. Your vote matters!
