Experts blast Hillary's lame "everyone else did it" defense on emails

Have you ever been to traffic court and heard someone defend their speeding by saying, "Everyone else was driving fast?"

That person is still culpable. So is the one looter who gets picked out of a crowd of looters by the police. This is a lesson that Hillary Clinton should have learned in her first semester in law school. But she was probably making googly eyes at Bill during her classes instead.

From Fox News:
Critics are blasting Hillary Clinton for claiming at Thursday night's Democratic debate nothing will come of the FBI probe into her email practices and seizing on reports that other former officials received classified information on personal accounts -- saying she's glossing over glaring differences between her case and theirs.

"The attempt to paint her predecessors in the State Department as equal offenders in mishandling classified material is an insult to what we now know to be the truth," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said in a statement Thursday, calling the argument an "everybody did it" defense.

Clinton pointed at the debate to emerging reports that former Secretary of State Colin Powell and the immediate staff of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also received classified security information on their personal email accounts.

But the dozen emails reportedly connected to those cases represent a fraction of the more than 1,600 now-classified emails found on Clinton’s server. Further, no other secretary of state set up a private, "homebrew" server as she did.

  1. Typical of the Clintons to try to drag everyone down into the mud with them.
