Hillary’s new “defense attorney”, her husband Bill, offered the following whimsical explanation for the big deal everyone is making about some private Email server in someone’s bathroom somewhere:

He argued that prosecuting his wife over her emails is akin to prosecuting someone for driving 40 mph in a 50 mph zone when the police secretly changed the speed limit to 35 mph.

Apparently William Jefferson Clinton is offering this fantastic scenario as a serious defense.

The former POTUS is implying that the emails were retroactively classified after she handled them. Therefore, she thought the Emails were not classified and broke no laws.

Zany argument Slick Willy, but two things need to be said:
1. All government Emails containing sensitive information are automatically confidential, secret or top-secret at the time they are created, WHETHER THEY ARE MARKED OR NOT!

2.Hillary signed an oath after being trained by FBI agents regarding the lawful handling of state secrets. In that oath, she accepted her official duty to recognize and protect state secrets on the basis of the information contained… WHETHER THEY ARE MARKED OR NOT!

So, the wheels came-off Bill’s argument right at the starting line. Hillary was responsible to keep ALL government Emails on government computers. Setting-up her own private server in some sub-contractor’s bathroom violates what she agreed to in the FBI training class (based upon The Constitution).

Oops. Oh well, at least Bill has made public to his wife’s supporters her version of what happened. The version is untrue and does nothing to explain Hillary’s failure to be careful with ALL government Emails (a federal crime related to Treason). But, her faithful people will vote for her anyway… if the FBI stops distracting her so she can get elected to Bill’s old job.
