Oh no. Dick Morris has found something newly damning.

We probably need to fact check the assertion that Bill Clinton's civilian aide is the one who registered the domain name. But this is a lot of new detail, especially the part about how Justin Cooper is the one who shut down the server for hacking. No IT experience, no government experience, but in charge at times of the communications device over which our national secrets were transmitted.

1. Just unbelievable. Reminds me of power families like that of Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan.

Just raking in the cash, spreading it around among their associates, and always careful to avoid accountability.

Not be aware of this email debacle. Or how about lawmakers or the CIA ... All these people she corresponded with? Why wasn't she confronted and called out on this? Sadly it makes everyone involved look sloppy and careless. Boggles the mind.

safety precautions like not diving into swimming holes if you don't know what's below the surface. Both Hill and Bill are adolescent thrillseekers.

They were the money raisers, and they spared President Obama the odious task of getting involved in that. As he and we are now seeing, that deal came with a higher cost than one might have thought.

The sycophants you can trust with your criminal behaviour make better bagmen than IT specialists.

"This extensive reliance on a close assistant to Bill Clinton raises questions about the handling of classified material by the Secretary of State. If General David Petraeus was held accountable to passing secret information to his biographer and mistress, what are we to make of the routine access to potentially all secret information granted to Hillary’s husband’s aide?"

I want to clarify that he is wrong about the reasons Petraeus got busted. His mistress did have the security clearance. He got busted for leaving the information in an unsecure place overnight. The question though is a good one.

Did Pagliano have security clearance?

We know the lawyer wasn't supposed to have the thumb drive in his office...

We know Platte River didn't have clearance...

The Cloud backup definitely wasn't cleared...
