Trust but verify. Generally that's how to operate with government. With government trust is built on transparency, not in spite of it.
Fairly easy lynch-pin undoing Clinton and her lies here are her reliance on a lack of transparency. The lynchpin is she hid emails, all her talk after this fact are lies crafted for distraction in press and for consumption by goober political hacks.
After her most recent press where she ran the continued lie about "convenience",... it's a bit shameless, but smart folks think going with that line of lies was best. The corruption of language used by politicians is endless.
Folks don't understand technology and similar line of thinking worked with the lies used in the Lois Lerner email scandal.
Reasons for lying? Basic, most folks lie to cover up some information or otherwise mislead people. There can be good reasons for it, but with government it leads to Iraq and general pain and suffering of innocents.
In Clinton's case this is being done to cover up something (information).
It will work. It already has. Exposing the lies now or later is totally irrevalant to the fact that information will remain hidden no matter what.
No.
Matter.
What.
Did she turn over the server immediately? Has she turned over all emails? No of course not. The goal is not to be transparent, it's to pretend to be while in reality hiding information. Bit of a mind fuck for some, most of us don't lie or expect to be lied to with such ease and confidence as we see from politicians and government in general.
The entire point of her using email that couldn't be archived or traced in full (most important point of the whole thing), was to avoid transparency. The idea about convenience being the reason,... well somewhat clever because it can be argued and is believable.
But always important to remember with politicians,... their first rule.
Tell people what they want to hear. Never tell them the truth.
This how the game is played. One set of rules for you and I, another for the entitled leaders. This setup is implemented to protect those in power from responsibility in their actions/failures. Clinton has lots of company here.
Most impressive thing in this scandal so far is the transparency with which:
1) Clinton is obviously hiding information
2) Everything is done to allow for the information to remain hidden (consistency here should be watched and valued)
3) Obvious lies to distract simple minded people
Similar to what happened with the Lois Lerner scandal. There again it was all about hiding information, and there again it worked. The distractions are not that great in either case, but the beginning and end of these are the desire to and ability for hiding information by those in privileged positions of power.
There is equality in truth. That's the saddest arbiter of our time.
