Was Hillary Commander in Chief? Nope.
So...what where does that leave her back channeling?
What took them so long?…
Abedin’s lawyer Karen Dunn told Politico on Thursday that the longtime Clinton insider, who served as deputy chief of staff at State, plans to turn over her work-related emails and other messages from her tenure there by August 28.
But Dunn declined to say whether or not Abedin will ink the same statement Clinton has signed.
Abedin enjoyed a rare but legal status as a ‘Special Government Employee’ during part of her time in government, allowing her to double-dip with a second paycheck in the private sector.
That arrangement has led some Republicans to speculate that she might have exposed classified information to people who are not authorized to see it.
Abedin’s lawyers insist she’s complying with all relevant requests from the State Department and Congress. But Dunn did not respond to a request for comment on whether she sent and received classified information through an email address she used on the Clinton server.
Hillary’s lame e-mail excuse: The server did it
So now that the FBI and the Justice Department, both run by Obama appointees, are on the case, attacking the motives of inconvenient people no longer works. So the Clinton campaign has invoked a little-known codicil to the first rule of Clintonism: Blame an inanimate object.
The amazing thing is that this spin isn’t coming directly from the campaign but from the reporters covering it.
National Public Radio’s Tamara Keith reported Wednesday morning that the inquiry “isn’t targeted directly at [Clinton]” and is simply intended to determine whether the server was secure.
Business Insider reported that “Clinton’s private server is under investigation by the FBI, though Clinton is not a target of the investigation.”
McClatchy’s Anita Kumar, who helped break the story that two of the e-mails were top secret, felt compelled to step on her own scoop.
She said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “there are several investigations into her conduct, not into her, but into her use of personal e-mail and a personal server.”
Go ahead and try parsing the difference between an “investigation into her conduct” and an investigation “into her.”

I am seeing her top aides gearing up to take the fall, the state department attempting to protect Hilary, all the while they are severely misunderestimating (trademark pending ) the anger of the judge in question.
While media coverage has focused on a half-dozen of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal emails containing sensitive intelligence, the total number of her private emails identified by an ongoing State Department review as having contained classified data has ballooned to 60, officials told The Washington Times.
Clinton aide Huma Abedin STILL hasn't sworn under oath that she's turned over all her State Department emails
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton declared Monday under penalty of perjury that she has given the State Department all of her work-related emails from her four years as secretary of state, but her trusted aide Huma Abedin has not yet taken that step – despite a request from a federal judge.

So rather than beat her at the ballot box, you would rather just throw the politicians you don't like in jail? That gets really dangerous really quickly.
