And I've never run for state or federal office. Nor have I held state or federal office. I've especially not held a federal office, the nature of which puts me in the position of managing a vast amount of highly sensitive data. I'm certainly not a career politician whose spouse was in fact a President of the United States, with all of the security protocols that, as a spouse of a President, would be required to adhere to. And, to top it all off, I'm not seeking the office of the President of the United States in an election being held a mere three years after I made this 'bad judgement' concerning the regard I have for highly sensitive government information.
Hell, if she would come out and say 'it was bad judgement on my part' or some such thing, I could probably get past it. She's said this instead:
As I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts. That was a mistake. Im sorry about that. I take responsibility."
So it was 'a mistake', 'even though it was allowed' (it wasn't actually 'allowed' at all), and she only recognizes it was a 'mistake' in hindsight. That's bullshit - she knew what she was doing, and if she can't own up to it then what sense does it make putting her in the office of the Presidency?
Again, this is entirely in her court - I know how to properly apologize for mistakes I've made that may have caused others harm, and when it should be done I just do it. Nothing really special there, just common decency.
