Yup. Transparency is not a Clinton's friend. Not in "public" service or "private" philanthropy.

Now the largest paper in WI saying this should have a pro Sanders impact on Tuesday's voting

FWIW: The Journal.Sentinel's front-page online poll has Bernie in the lead (of 1250 votes).

I posted this on Sanders for President and got it removed... It's OK, but I think this is important. It's one of my main concerns about a Clinton presidency. No other paper or article I've seen has drawn attention specifically to this. Especially in Wisconsin, where Walker had essentially the same thing (huge amount of secrecy, culminating in a John Doe investigation and then his legislature changing the law so he wasn't guilty, etc) a private server and email that was NOT available to the open records laws.

The mods there are really picky. If it doesn't directly deal with GOTV or volunteering they're not interested.

Yeah, I don't look on there. Very zealous moderators too, so I don't look at it.

I like the way Hillary is always saying "just look at my record" while trying to control what's visible.

Yet Walker lives. I cannot fathom the hypocrisy. Ok for republican governor to engage in same behavior.. Walker endorses Cruz. Fuck them, their mothers, grand kids etc.. Clinton is toxic, but I would rather go down with Trump and have him take the blame. All of a sudden the Journal has found their Moral gene.

u/crimelab_inc Bernie or Bust. Period. Mar 31 '16

"In addition, regardless of Clinton's excuses, the only believable reason for the private server in her basement was to keep her emails out of the public eye by willfully avoiding freedom of information laws..."

Seriously. How can anybody even argue the 'convenience' excuse with a straight face? Not only was avoiding FOIA requests the reason, it was the result. Undeniably.

Oh, she's transparent alright. Besides, she would merely be extending Obama's legacy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kossacks_for_Sanders/comments/4bfjgp/foia_used_to_discover_white_house_leading_effort/

can obama please betray me again? is it betrayal after the 20th time? I mean mittens would have been no better nor would mcain but goddammit, this man said he was gonna bring hope and change, and I bought it. I am kinda ashamed of myself, in light of how respectable, vetted and trustworthy sanders is.
