OUR HILLARY, BADGERED BY THE PATRIARCHY AGAIN – AT 9:48 A.M. ET:   It's so unfair.  Our Hillary, treated so badly.  And all she wants to do is make a measly $200,000 a speech and maintain a bit of privacy.  Why is life so unfair?  From the Washington Post: 

A congressional committee issued subpoenas Wednesday seeking information about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a private e-mail account for official business while she was secretary of state, setting up a potential legal clash with the presumptive Democratic front-runner for president.

The move followed the revelation that Clinton had installed a private server at her New York home that allowed her, and not the State Department, to store her e-mail correspondence and later decide which ones to turn over as public records.

The subpoenas, sent by the special House committee probing the fatal 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, reflected the angry response more broadly from Republican lawmakers and conservative watchdogs who said Clinton’s private e-mail system allowed her to evade scrutiny from investigations and legal proceedings.

Late Wednesday, Clinton responded to the issue for the first time tweeting, “I want the public to see my e-mail. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.”

COMMENT:  What a joke.  It's Hillary Clinton who has those e-mails, and she will decide which ones to give to the State Department for "review."  Kind of the way things are done in a dictatorship. 

This story is growing.  Every time you turn around, Hillary or Bill is involved in a scandal.  This one is particularly serious because the private storage of e-mails by a high government officials raises questions of national security and suppression of information that must be available to legal and Congressional inquiries.

There's a lot of talk on the internet that Hillary may be sinking politically.  But it's only talk.  She's still way ahead for her party's nomination, and the modern Democratic Party hasn't been too sensitive about corruption.  Slick Willy didn't get his nickname because he was honest.
