Hill or E-mail

There are approximately 2 million federal employees. Two million people that know that using federal email for personal correspondence is not allowed as well as using personal email accounts for federal operations. Each employee is also notified in writing that any official email written from a personal account that is the property of the federal government and they are not allowed to delete without permission. They also received an official email reminder of email communication policies shortly after the story broke about Hillary Clinton using her personal email for official communications.

It’s been well documented that Hillary Clinton has not complied with the Federal Records Act (not to mention the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch and Homeland Security’s laws on cyber security), however, little has been mentioned that she could not break the rules without others being complicit in it. Have any other these people been penalized or disciplined? Being that they are public servants we have the right to know. The only defense for Hillary Clinton and the people around her that enabled her to break the rules is that they are stupid, too ignorant to know the rules, or liars.

As Mrs. Clinton aims to climb to the top of the Hill and buy a presidential election, she is obviously a person whose actions indicate that she believes that there are those to whom the rules don’t apply and she is one of those special people. That makes her dangerous because a president should be self assured, forceful, but respectful. What government do we have when the highest office doesn’t respect the the rules, the Constitution?

This also doesn’t say much for Mrs. Clinton’s democratic opponent Bernie Sanders. In his debate comment about moving past Clinton’s email issue to talk about the important things shows his ignorance of the importance of staying within the rules and his lack of respect for Constitutional authority.

In Bubbie’s view, Hillary Clinton knowingly broke the rules by using her personal email for official use and in doing so, broke the law. Any of the 2 million federal employees could be fired, fined, and sent to jail for doing as much.
