Oh shit, fuck, I forgot I needed a zinger.
0:02
Do something problematic. Let's start off on a good foot. Okay.
0:05
More like shrillery, Clinton. Am I right? I
0:09
can't tell if I want to do a pure joke or something that
0:11
touches on actual commentary to make
0:13
it clear that I hate Hillary Clinton.
0:19
We are off to a good start, Peter. Holy shit. I've
0:23
been a little bit worried about this one. Same!
0:26
Same! We may not get to the email scandal. We
0:28
may just talk about Hillary Clinton the entire time as like a social
0:31
construction. Maybe the zinger is just
0:33
me being like, Mike, this is the episode
0:35
where I get canceled. Oh, okay. Do
0:38
you want to do that? Emails? All right, let's
0:41
go. Let's go. All right.
0:43
Peter. Michael. What do you know about
0:45
the Hillary Clinton email scandal of 2016? Yeah,
0:48
you know, this isn't like when she
0:50
suggested that we rig Palestinian
0:52
elections, Michael. This is serious.
0:55
I'm not
0:58
going to lie.
1:08
So the genesis of this episode is
1:10
that when we were recording the liberal
1:12
fascism episode, we had like that
1:14
chapter about how like Hillary Clinton is fascist.
1:17
And then we ended up talking for like 45
1:19
minutes about the social
1:22
construction of Hillary Clinton and like doing
1:24
a bunch of other sort of side topics. And then we eventually
1:26
decided that we need to either talk
1:29
about Hillary Clinton for like two seconds or
1:31
two hours.
1:31
And so this is the two hours.
1:34
Yeah. And we discussed this episode a
1:36
little bit in advance. And you said that you don't
1:38
want to spend the entire episode
1:41
relitigating the 2016 election. And
1:45
I said, I made it quite clear, I think. You
1:47
said no. And I do want to spend
1:49
the entire episode relitigating
1:52
the 2016 election. Fuck. Fuck.
1:55
I was going to do a bunch of scoping. Like I'm going to
1:57
keep Peter on topic. How do I trick
1:59
Peter?
5:42
sense
6:00
when it comes to foreign policy, right? And her positions
6:03
towards the Middle East have
6:05
always been hawkish, lacked
6:08
regard for sovereignty
6:10
in the Middle East. Her and Obama's
6:13
approach in Libya was
6:16
brutal. Again, while
6:18
that we talked about her fucking emails for a year and a half and
6:20
did not talk about her record as
6:22
Secretary of State, when
6:25
we were disastrously bungling
6:27
the war in Afghanistan and when
6:29
there are now emails that we know
6:32
about where they knew about the CIA
6:34
drone strikes, and they were like, should we object
6:36
to these? Maybe one or two went too far.
6:39
I don't know that she's like any worse than a lot of other
6:41
centrist Democrats, honestly, but it's like this
6:43
entire generation
6:44
of Democrats, you look back
6:46
on their record from like the 90s, the early 2000s,
6:49
and like it looks really fucking bad. She's
6:51
an avatar for that third-way
6:53
bullshit, an avatar
6:56
for a Democratic establishment that tried
6:58
to hedge right on nearly every
7:00
single issue, from domestic
7:03
economic issues to foreign policy,
7:05
right? And
7:08
we have seen where that got us. I
7:11
think we're roughly on the same page as far as like I think it is great
7:13
to judge public figures
7:14
by their record in public life. There's
7:16
like a sickness among journalists
7:19
where they think that just because something is secret,
7:21
it's important. And I think that there
7:24
are cases of this happening, right, like Watergate
7:26
and shit, but like in general, most
7:28
politicians are fairly easy to judge
7:31
by like what they are or are not doing
7:33
for the public as far as like their votes and
7:35
their speeches and shit. We
7:38
have this thing where in public, Hillary Clinton is
7:40
like a centrist politician and like has
7:42
gotten a lot of stuff wrong and like cringially extremely
7:44
wrong over the years. But then according
7:47
to the right and to like weirdly to like the
7:50
left-wing media, they think
7:52
that there's like this iceberg
7:53
of like corruption and
7:55
murder and graft underneath
7:57
it. evidence
8:00
of that. Yeah. She's also a politician
8:03
who is the subject of more completely
8:07
ludicrous smears and lies than
8:10
maybe any other politician, and
8:13
also the recipient
8:16
of more misogynistic political
8:18
analysis than any other politician.
8:21
And I think that one is probably unquestionably
8:23
true. Yeah, absolutely. What's weird about discussing
8:25
her as someone who's like a critic of hers from
8:27
the left is that you can't possibly
8:29
disentangle all of this. Yeah, of course.
8:32
If you go back and look at the
8:34
media coverage of the 1992 presidential
8:36
campaign, so clearly
8:39
just like, should women be allowed to
8:41
talk? Yeah, yeah, totally. What we talked about
8:43
in the liberal fascism
8:44
episode was her
8:47
writings about children's rights.
8:50
And a ton of the criticism
8:52
that was levied at her in the early 90s
8:54
was just like, should First Ladies
8:57
be able to talk about substantive
8:59
policy, right? She was pushing for
9:03
expanded healthcare coverage.
9:06
Meanwhile, Nancy Reagan was doing
9:08
war on drugs shit, which didn't
9:10
block as political. I mean, this kind of leads
9:12
us to the disingenuous
9:13
case against Hillary Clinton. What
9:16
really fascinated me is the pattern with
9:18
Hillary Clinton is the same pattern that I've seen
9:20
in moral panics over and over again,
9:22
where it's like people take these
9:25
examples of fairly benign
9:27
behavior and then they use them as a metaphor
9:29
for much worse things of which
9:31
there is no evidence. So I found
9:34
a Christopher Hitchens article from 2008,
9:37
which was called The Case Against Hillary Clinton.
9:40
And he's like, really gonna like lay it out. Yeah, yeah, I remember
9:42
this. And his opening anecdote was
9:44
about this thing from 1995 when she was First
9:46
Lady and she was in London
9:49
for something. And she met Sir Edmund
9:51
Hillary, who was one of the
9:53
two first people to climb Mount Everest,
9:55
the other person was tensing nor gay. And
9:58
she's like making small talk with hillary
10:00
and she's like hey did you know you're the reason i
10:02
have to else and my name my mom
10:05
was big fan of yours and she namely hillary after
10:07
you sir edmund hillary right this
10:09
somehow was like on paper whatever ends up and press
10:11
reports people look into it and
10:13
it turns out hillary was born in nineteen forty
10:16
seven and admin hillary didn't
10:18
climb mount everest until nineteen fifty three she
10:20
would have been six years old and so there's no way
10:22
that she could been named after hillary
10:23
whatever christopher hitchens
10:26
like uses this as like look at
10:28
look at what she'll do to gain parents
10:30
look it's a waste manipulates people
10:33
around her of course of you actually
10:35
look into it hillary clinton had
10:37
never use this anecdote anywhere else it didn't
10:39
show up in like her biographies
10:40
it appears that her mom like
10:42
told her this at some points which by the
10:44
way is what immediately came to my mind
10:46
when you told me the timeline as like i
10:48
better mom just sat at a
10:50
benign explanation is available
10:52
for this kind of thing but it like people immediately
10:54
leap to the like look health fucking
10:57
bad she is right that it's i love rayleigh a
10:59
right wing
11:00
podcast about this and they were like
11:01
the ones long tirade about fucking sick
11:04
to the fucking psycho pass it was like so
11:06
brutal
11:06
and what they were talking about was
11:09
registering a web domain not
11:11
and her name is one of her own register
11:13
oh are you rl and like used his own
11:15
name on the registration papers it's very funny
11:17
to go see a bit even crackers iraq
11:20
one of it's
11:22
like i
11:23
i i do think that like an anecdote
11:26
can be a symbol of something much
11:28
larger yeah but you have to have
11:30
evidence of the much larger thing you
11:32
can't array haunts gently point too
11:34
simple of like with trump you
11:36
can tell these little anecdote about he lied about it
11:38
like golf score or something and it's a symbolic
11:40
of the way that he fucking life but everything but we have
11:42
evidence that he fucking life but everything right for
11:45
clinton it's like there's a deep corruption
11:47
but like we never actually get the
11:49
deep corruption we just get these surface
11:51
level
11:51
little symbols of elsa like if a little
11:54
white lie in conversation is
11:56
enough to declare a
11:58
politician a psychopath then they all
12:00
are. I mean, if they're a single politician, you couldn't
12:03
find an anecdote like this about. I
12:04
also want to go out of my way to say
12:06
that, like, she would have been way
12:09
better than Donald Trump. Like, it's not close. Center-left
12:11
politicians are, in fact, preferable
12:14
to far-right politicians. Like,
12:15
her platform on healthcare, did I love it? No.
12:18
It was way better than the status
12:19
quo. She wanted to raise the minimum wage of 12 bucks.
12:22
Do I wish that was higher? Yes. Is 12 bucks
12:24
better than 750? Also, yes.
12:26
The argument that Trump wouldn't
12:29
have been that bad was ludicrous at the time,
12:31
and it's more ludicrous in retrospect. It's
12:33
a ludicrous argument.
12:34
So, Peter, what is your understanding
12:37
of, like, the actual
12:38
facts of the email scandal?
12:41
Yeah. Hillary Clinton had private
12:44
email. Well, I'm going to
12:46
use terms like servers, which I don't actually really want to
12:48
cover. Yeah, I still don't talk about it. I've been doing this for a few weeks. I
12:50
don't know what the fuck a server is. It's fine. Hillary Clinton had, like,
12:52
private email servers. She used her BlackBerry
12:55
to communicate with
12:57
her aides and colleagues,
13:00
etc. That's how she did emails.
13:03
Yes. And then she gets to the State Department,
13:06
and the State Department, generally
13:08
speaking, would require
13:11
or have guidelines that you
13:14
use their servers, right? But she
13:16
does not transition to their servers. She maintains
13:18
her own BlackBerry. She doesn't want to use their computers.
13:22
And there is a question about confidential
13:25
information, classified information,
13:27
right? Because at least theoretically,
13:29
there could have been classified information
13:32
being shared in these emails on
13:34
unprotected or less protected servers.
13:37
That is my memory of this off the dome.
13:40
That was pretty good. The way that Clinton described
13:42
it in her book, she says, it was a dumb
13:44
mistake, but an even dumber scandal, which
13:47
I kind of agree with. I agree with that too, but it also
13:49
annoys me that she would put it that way.
13:51
We'll see
13:53
if this episode, like, makes you like her more or
13:55
less.
13:56
I do
13:57
think that, like, this is a very...
13:59
understandable story, like when
14:02
you hear it in chronological order,
14:04
if we just go over like what actually happened,
14:06
the striking thing about Clinton's
14:09
book, Comey's book, and there's
14:11
various investigations of this over
14:13
the years is that they really don't disagree on
14:15
the facts. So I think the
14:17
first thing to know if we like rewind all the
14:19
way back is that like, a lot of politicians
14:22
don't use email very
14:24
much. Yeah,
14:25
part of this is like to avoid fucking records requests, because
14:27
they're like all corrupt fucking dingbats. And
14:29
some of it is like, they're
14:29
just all old as fuck. So like, john
14:32
McCain did not send or receive an email his
14:34
entire life. Yeah. And especially when you think about
14:36
what like 2008. Yeah,
14:38
I honestly think the fact that Clinton is 62
14:40
when she becomes Secretary
14:42
of State is like, very important to
14:44
this story and like really reminds me of like,
14:47
all of the boomers in my life and like how
14:49
they use technology. She
14:51
says in her book, she says, I didn't send a single
14:53
email when I was in the White House as First Lady
14:56
or during most of my first term in the US Senate,
14:58
I've never used a computer at home
15:01
or at work. It was not until 2006 that
15:03
I began sending and receiving emails on a BlackBerry
15:06
phone. I had a plain old AT&T
15:08
account like millions of other people and used it both
15:10
for work and personal email.
15:12
That was my system and it worked for me.
15:14
So this is what she's used to all
15:15
of her emails, professional, personal, everything comes
15:17
and goes
15:18
out of the BlackBerry, right? She's never
15:20
used to computer. I mean, she's never had one anyway.
15:22
Yeah, I think it's very like hard for like people
15:24
like us who don't have like teens, you don't
15:27
have to understand like what it is like the
15:29
daily reality of these people. Most
15:31
of us just assume that she's like sending and
15:33
receiving emails all the time. When now that we've
15:35
seen all the fucking emails, the vast majority
15:37
of emails are like one sentence or they're like forwarding
15:39
and be like FYI.
15:40
Yeah,
15:41
they're not substantive. They're
15:43
not thoughtful. It's like everything takes place
15:45
in like in person meetings or
15:48
phone calls.
15:48
Like she says her and Bill do not
15:50
like they've never sent
15:51
an email to each other. They call because they're boomers. Yeah,
15:53
that makes sense.
15:54
So in 2007, Bill Clinton has
15:57
a server installed in his
15:59
house. It's not clear like whether
16:01
either of these boomers sort of like knew what that meant or whatever.
16:03
They're just like, okay This is gonna make it easier like more secure.
16:06
It's encrypted. Whatever Clinton starts
16:08
using Hrl5
16:10
at my singular dot blackberry
16:13
net as an email address, which is most boomer
16:15
fucking email address ever in my life That's
16:18
a situation when on January
16:21
21st. She is sworn in as Secretary
16:23
of State man This could have all been avoided if Obama
16:26
wasn't the type to just want to be
16:28
liked by everyone So he was like look
16:30
Hillary just ran a really weirdly racist primary
16:33
campaign against me. I will make her Secretary
16:35
of State Yet
16:38
another election I refused to it relitigate
16:43
Guess what I'm bringing up the Somali
16:46
garb picture that her team circulated
16:51
This is all stored within a very specific
16:53
compartment of my brain yeah on your
16:55
servers on your little brain You're a little content
16:58
brain servers.
16:59
So she starts the Secretary of State She
17:02
has this blackberry
17:03
email account that she's using that I think everybody
17:06
sort of knows it's like super fucking janky
17:08
and Dealing with classified information is just
17:10
a giant fucking hassle Like she has to lock up
17:12
her blackberry in some like weird safe
17:15
when she goes into work because they're afraid that like the
17:16
Russians or whoever is gonna hack it and turn it into
17:18
a Microphone and it's like okay
17:21
So I just don't have my device with me at work all day and
17:23
like I don't really know how to use a computer like It's
17:25
just this giant fucking
17:26
hassle by the way whenever I hear about the
17:28
like machinations of our intelligence
17:31
operations It always makes me a little bit anxious
17:33
like do we have technology that can sense
17:35
whether the Russians are hacking out? Are
17:38
the Secretary of State's phone? It's like no just
17:40
put it in the no hack box
17:41
And then
17:44
there one of the one of the dark ironies of this
17:46
is that this entire thing is about email security,
17:48
right? Like whether it's being stored on my private servers
17:50
or government
17:51
The State Department servers were
17:53
hacked
17:53
her personal server was not hacked
17:56
Was also hacked during this time. So
17:58
it's like the entire thing
17:59
just fucking dissolves into smoke where it's like,
18:01
what are we actually talking about here? Like she put
18:04
them on a more secure server. Or
18:06
like at least a server that was less of a target,
18:08
right? Although it was also a target at that time. But yes. Yeah,
18:11
fair enough. So on January 23,
18:13
2009, two days into her tenure as Secretary
18:15
of State, I'm going to email this to you
18:18
or I'll text this to you. This is from
18:20
the FBI report.
18:23
Okay. On January 23, 2009, Clinton
18:26
contacted former Secretary of State Colin
18:28
Powell via email to inquire about
18:30
his use of a BlackBerry while he was Secretary
18:33
of State. In his email reply, Powell
18:35
warned Clinton that if it became public
18:37
that Clinton had a BlackBerry and she used it
18:39
to do business, her emails could
18:41
become, quote, official records and
18:44
subject to the law. Powell further advised
18:46
Clinton, be very careful. I got
18:48
around it all by not saying much and not
18:50
using systems that captured the data. Clinton
18:53
indicated to the FBI that she understood Powell's
18:55
comments to mean any work related communications
18:58
would be government records. This is
19:00
fascinating to me. At the heart of this
19:02
entire thing,
19:04
we have Colin Powell, the previous
19:06
Secretary of State,
19:07
admitting that he used a fucking
19:09
AOL.com address
19:11
the entire time that he was Secretary of State.
19:13
And he says, I got
19:15
around it by not saying much and not
19:17
using systems that captured the data. This
19:20
guy did what Hillary Clinton
19:22
is accused of. He specifically
19:25
skirted the rules
19:26
so that he would not be subject to
19:29
FOIA requests and shit.
19:30
To this day, we still do not have emails
19:33
from the early 2003
19:34
period, which I would kind
19:36
of like to see. Hey, going
19:38
to lie to the UN, LOL.
19:40
What's interesting is he tells her, he's
19:42
like, yeah, just use an external email.
19:45
Here's how to get around it. Whatever. Clinton
19:47
does not take
19:47
his advice. She starts using this email
19:50
address, hdr22 at clintonemail.com. Clinton
19:54
email.com. I know. Is that?
19:57
I know. It's kind of amazing it didn't get hacked because it's so fucking
19:59
obvious.
19:59
Because I feel like if you found that
20:02
domain you would assume it was like
20:04
a troll who was So
20:08
she starts using this
20:10
personal account that the sort of the clutch
20:13
that she comes up with to comply
20:16
with eventual records requests
20:18
and
20:18
To only have
20:20
one device with her is she
20:22
basically moves all of her correspondence
20:24
personal and
20:27
professional Onto this one
20:29
email address So
20:31
for her entire time as Secretary of
20:33
State she does not use a state.gov
20:36
Email address and all
20:38
of her emails so like she's her mother
20:40
dies while she's in Office
20:42
and like her dealings with like the estate Emailing
20:45
Chelsea like how's life all of her personal
20:47
emails and all of her like the
20:50
the President of this country just got assassinated
20:53
emails are all on the same fucking account So
20:56
to me the best argument that like
20:58
she didn't do this to avoid scrutiny
21:00
or like any like corrupt deep evil
21:02
reason
21:03
is That this is such a
21:05
fucking stupid solution to
21:07
the problem.
21:08
She is Ensuring
21:10
that there is going to be a conflict
21:12
between her professional and her personal
21:15
emails
21:15
because they're all in one fucking inbox Right.
21:18
I think when people like process the
21:20
email scandal what they think Happened
21:23
is it like she had her like Hillary at state gov
21:25
email And then she was like shunting
21:28
people to this like secret personal address.
21:30
She's like, okay This is spicy shit like email
21:33
me the kill list to like Hillary at
21:34
Clinton email dot right, right? That's not what
21:36
she was doing. It was all in one
21:39
place It seems to me like
21:41
what we're building toward and this is sort of
21:43
how I've always viewed it as that
21:45
this was essentially just an
21:47
act of Medium negligence
21:50
may be medium to high depending on how much
21:52
you care about national security Yeah,
21:55
I guess what I say by medium what I mean by like
21:58
medium to high is like if I were to combine
22:00
my work and
22:03
personal emails, the stakes are quite low.
22:05
You know what I mean? Whereas, like, the worst-case
22:07
scenario here is relatively bad, I
22:10
guess. Well,
22:10
also, I mean, one thing that has, like,
22:12
genuinely given me nightmares about this is that it's very
22:14
clear that, like, no one on her team thought
22:16
about this or, like, thought it was a remotely big deal
22:19
at the time, which, you know, looking back, obviously,
22:21
is, like, very silly. But at the time,
22:23
people were basically like, okay, it's
22:25
not actually against the rules. There's, like, a sort
22:27
of recommendation, like, we'd prefer if State
22:29
Department employees didn't use personal emails, but, like,
22:32
it happens. And, like, if you end up
22:34
using, you know, your Gmail or whatever, like, make sure you
22:36
retain all the documents for, you know,
22:39
FOIA requests, whatever. So
22:41
they thought that this was above board as long as
22:43
they retained
22:44
all of the emails, and they knew that
22:46
her
22:46
servers were encrypted. But they
22:48
were advised, right? They were advised
22:51
by State. Isn't that right? Am I misremembering
22:54
that?
22:54
There's actually some debate about
22:56
whether people at State knew that this was happening.
22:59
It seems like most people sort of
23:01
didn't know that this was on an external
23:03
server because when emails came
23:05
in from Hillary, they just said H. They
23:09
didn't, like, say H at anything.
23:12
And we later find out she
23:14
only emailed with 13 people
23:17
her entire time at the State Department.
23:19
Imagine the panic within State if some security
23:22
folks got an email that was
23:24
from, like, a Hillary at Clinton
23:26
email dot com. They'd be like, what the fuck?
23:28
I know. I know. There
23:30
is actually a pretty funny section in her book where
23:33
she – one of the emails that eventually
23:35
comes out is her complaining that she's trying
23:37
to talk to Obama, but nobody on the White House
23:39
operator line will believe that she's Hillary Clinton
23:41
and she can't get through. She's like, how
23:44
do I do this? How do I prove that I'm me? Well,
23:46
ironically, the best way would have been to start
23:48
leaking classified information about people she's
23:51
assassinated.
23:51
I also –
23:54
I mean, we're going to get into the sort
23:56
of, like, mechanics of how all this becomes public in a second,
23:58
but, like, before we do, I –
23:59
I think it's also important to stress, this
24:02
is all about the storage
24:04
of digital information. At
24:07
no point in this entire scandal does
24:09
anybody accuse Hillary Clinton of
24:12
sharing classified information with foreign governments,
24:14
or leaking it to the press, or
24:17
blurting something out to someone
24:19
who shouldn't know it. Every single one
24:21
of the people that she was emailing had top secret
24:24
clearance. It's about information
24:26
security procedures. I
24:28
was trying to think of a metaphor. You
24:31
come downstairs in the morning and you realize
24:34
your roommate has left the door unlocked
24:36
overnight. And you're like, okay, well nothing
24:38
got
24:39
stolen. There's no effect of this. But
24:41
also, yeah, we'd prefer it if you locked
24:43
the door. You might want to talk to your roommate about that.
24:45
But it's not even that bad because
24:48
the emails were on
24:50
an encrypted server that didn't get hacked.
24:52
So it's like you come downstairs and your
24:55
roommate has
24:55
deadbolt at the door, but the deadbolt
24:58
he used was not like an approved
25:00
deadbolt. Okay, well ultimately the door
25:02
was locked. It just wasn't the sort of like official
25:05
technical
25:06
lock that we were supposed to use. I
25:08
really cannot stress how long it took me to
25:10
truly accept that
25:13
this is what the entire scandal was
25:15
about with literally just
25:17
the storage
25:19
of information on non-government servers.
25:21
That's it. I mean, this is a
25:23
lens into
25:26
how
25:27
the media can get
25:29
manipulated. Yeah. It pretty
25:32
plainly doesn't matter that much whether
25:34
Hillary was using the Department
25:37
of States approved encrypted server
25:39
or her own. But the
25:41
way that this sort of resonates
25:44
in our political and cultural
25:46
memory is indicative
25:49
of a whole lot of weird neuroses
25:53
that our media maintains
25:55
and sort of projects onto the
25:57
general public.
25:59
do think it's like worth stressing is that like other
26:02
people who have been busted for this
26:05
over the years it's been like a very
26:08
minor
26:09
issue. So in
26:11
his book Comey says,
26:13
in 2011 David Petraeus had
26:15
given multiple notebooks containing
26:18
troves of highly sensitive top-secret
26:20
information to an author with whom he was having
26:22
an affair. In contrast to those Hillary Clinton
26:25
corresponded with, the author did not have
26:27
the appropriate clearance or a legitimate
26:29
need to know the information which included
26:31
notes of discussions with President Obama about very
26:33
sensitive programs. He even allowed
26:35
the woman to photograph key pages from
26:38
classified documents. Yeah
26:39
but this is different because he's trying to get laid.
26:42
That's an affirmative defense under the law.
26:44
And then as if to underscore that he knew
26:47
he shouldn't do
26:47
what he did, he lied to FBI
26:50
agents about what he had done. Despite
26:52
all of this clear and powerful evidence on facts
26:54
far worse for him than for Secretary of Clinton
26:57
and after he demonstrably lied to the FBI,
27:00
the DOJ charged him only with
27:02
a misdemeanor after he reached
27:03
a plea bargain agreement. In 2015
27:06
he admitted guilt and agreed to a $40,000 fine
27:08
and probation for two years. I love that he
27:10
was the director of the CIA
27:12
but still felt like he had to prove
27:15
he has access to confidential stuff.
27:17
Look how cool my stuff is. Check
27:19
it out. You want to see it? You want to see it? It's like dude
27:21
you're the like she knows that you have it.
27:23
Relax. You don't have to keep doing
27:26
it. I know you work at Cinnabon. You don't have to bring
27:27
me another one. I get it. I trust you. My
27:30
friends in high school. I
27:32
do think, I mean, it's like sort
27:35
of at the most,
27:36
it's like an administrative violation and
27:39
like this fucking guy who like lied
27:41
to the FBI and like obstructed justice
27:44
got nothing.
27:45
You have to keep criminal history in mind too
27:47
and when you have a spotless record like
27:49
Petraeus, you get off
27:51
light. Where's
27:52
the Clint? You got Seth Rich, you got Vince Foster,
27:54
you got the Clinton Foundation. Look, you
27:56
can't do this and Benghazi
27:58
in like a two-year span. Thank you.
