Obama acknowledged a "carelessness" with how Hillary handled highly classified intelligence

I heard one intelligence official, a Lt. General, say, firstly that Obama should have declined to comment on an ongoing investigation during his interview with Chris Wallace.

The Lt. General also made the point that she exhibited a certain carelessness regarding the highly classified intelligence, a carelessness with the decision to go into Lybia, a careless with the Russian Reset (I have no idea), and a carelessness with the Pivot to the Pacific (no idea on this either). If there is a persistence of carelessness which means you are prone to making mistakes, he thinks this indicates that you have a judgment problem.

I think I agree with that.

"The Russian reset was an attempt of Obama administration to improve relations between the United States and Russia in 2009.", yanked directly off Wikipedia.

She is a selfish greedy person who really only cared about personal enrichment. Using government email would have shown a light on her unsavory money grubbing amongst foreign politicians and businesses. She went rogue, got rich, got caught, and wants us to all forget about it and place her in the Oval Offce just because she has a D behind her name.

That's just not good enough. George Wallace had one too...

Did Obama say it or did the Lt. General say it?

Obama had an interview with Chris Wallace in which he said there was a certain carelessness in Hillary's handling of the emails.

The Lt. General was commenting on that.

Hillary has shown a total lack of judgement on.
And what you can't have is someone who has bad judgement all of the time.
