Bill Maher Defends Hillary, Calls Email Scandal “Utter Bullsh*t”

Jumping on the ‘defend’ Hillary bandwagon over her use of a personal email address for official business while serving as Secretary of State is HBO’s Bill Maher.

Press conf was good 4 Hillary cuz showed she can take a beating from infantile press over utter bullshit and thats all our politics is about

Despite the fact that the issue is a matter of national security and having classified documents on an unsecure server might pose a small problem for those who want to keep sensitive information out of the hands of people who want to kill us…but then again, I’m a pessimist.

What Bill Maher is also forgetting (or willfully ignoring) are the dubious excuses she gave and the inconsistencies in her stories from yesterday’s press conference. Clinton argued that she only had one email account for “convenience,” but as Joe Scarborough hilariously pointed out via twitter, that excuse falls flat.

HRC says she only had one email account for convenience? I’ve had multiple accts on my phone for years. That excuse won’t fly.

Hillary claimed that she never any national security material from her personal email account, but admitted to emailing President Obama, which is clearly a matter of national security; moreover, if she never sent or viewed any classified material from her email account, then what was she doing as Secretary of State?

And, if she really has nothing to hide, why not turn over the private server she and her husband had setup in their residence for an independent arbiter to examine? You know, in the spirit of public accountability and transparency.
