State Department Inspector General’s report demolishes Hillary’s excuses about her private email server

From Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker Blog:

The 83-page State Department inspector general’s report on Hillary Clinton’s private email server puts the lie to many of Hillary Clinton’s repeated claims about her unprecedented private email server. No, it was not permitted, and she never asked. And if she had asked, she would have been told it was not permitted. Even the Washington Post editorial board is appalled, publishing a collective rebuke titled “Clinton’s inexcusable, willful disregard for the rules.”

The “rules” she disregarded were adopted to implement federal law, the Federal Records Act, so in effect she was violating the law, even though the I.G.’s report deliberately avoids saying so. So Hillary’s repeated claims that her use of the private email system was permitted is a blatant lie.

So, too, is her claim that she has cooperated with investigators. She and her top aides all declined to be interviewed by the I.G. investigators.

Time for the FBI to give a set of polish nickel bracelets.
