Related: About this forumWisconsin’s Largest Paper Takes Down Hillary & Her Corruption
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, Wisconsins largest newspaper gave a striking rebuke of Hillary Clinton and her commitment of open and transparent government. They view her private email server as a clear act to avoid government oversight. The newspaper does not mince words about Hillary Clintons record, as you can see in this passage;
In addition, regardless of Clintons excuses, the only believable reason for the private server in her basement was to keep her emails out of the public eye by willfully avoiding freedom of information laws, the editorial said. No president, no secretary of state, no public official at any level is above the law. She chose to ignore it, and must face the consequences.
The paper shows little to no trust in Hillary Clinton. Going so far as to declare, Public officials keep secrets because they have something to hide-something they dont want the people they are supposed to be serving to know anything about.
In the eyes of many voters Hillary Clintons $135 million fortune, doesnt paint a picture of a selfless public servant. The wealth generated by Hillary Clintons public-service is shocking and obscene. The fact that she blended the State Department with the Clinton Foundation only makes her candidacy all the more dangerous for the American people. The blend was a clear act to exploit the peoples trust for personal gain; which is something that should scare Americans when coupled with the fact she took money from foreign governments while handing them weapons deals. Any unbiased observer can tell that the Clintons will tell you they feel your pain until election day, then they will fill their bank accounts.

That's called good judgement.

Glad you think Hillary is unqualified due to her multitude of mistakes, and horrendous judgment... including the vote for the Iraq war. I look forward to your scathing rebuke of mrs. Clinton.

but having her own server in her basement to avoid the FOIA really bothers me, too. Very Nixonian.

(50,928 posts)9. Apparently the Journal Sentinel doesn't have a clue about emails.
When an email is sent to someone that means Hillary is not the only with the email. The same in reverse. Since any email that was sent to her staff or other government goes through another server that means they can do a FOIA on those accounts too.

a little too much, as well.
