All that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>But above that, they could not prosecute her, because that would have made it official that Barack Obama had lied, and it\u2019s all about her illegal server. Do you know what we learned in this IG report? We learned that this woman was using unsecured email and an unsecured server on a nongovernment protected email address to email the president of the United States while traveling in foreign countries &#8212; and that the president of the United States was responding to her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061518-Obama.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061518-Obama.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061518-Obama-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The secretary of state and Barack Obama were sending classified emails back and forth while she was in capitals of distant nations, some of whom were our enemies. Totally unsecure and unprotected. It\u2019s outrageous what was going on, this casual, lackadaisical attitude toward security! And, I\u2019m telling you, it can only spring&#8230; How in the world can this happen? How can the president of the United States and his secretary of state be so cavalier about their communications, knowing full well that cyber trackers are everywhere, that cyber thieves are everywhere?<\/p>\n<p>How can they be so cavalier about this? The answer has to be in they don\u2019t think there that much about America worth protecting! For crying out loud, do you do everything you can to protect your home? Do you do everything you can to protect your kids? Do you do everything you can to protect your possessions? Why in the world were not the president &#8212; Barack Obama &#8212; and Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, likewise trying to protect sensitive information and secrets about their own country?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here to tell you, there\u2019s no way Barack Obama was gonna be demonstrated to have done this because he was lying about it. Obama lied countless times when he said he never knew she was using an illegal server until he saw it and read about it in the media. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites just to document this and get it out of the way. March 7, 2015, CBS Sunday Morning, Bill Plante. Whatever happened to Bill Plante? Does anybody know whatever that happened Bill Plante? Did he retire? I haven\u2019t seen Bill Plante in a long time. Anyway, he was interviewing Obama, and during the interview Plante asks about the email controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>PLANTE: Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. government for, uhh, official business while she was secretary of state?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Uhh, at same time, uh, everybody else learned it through news reports.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-274795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-052318-Obama-Hillary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-052318-Obama-Hillary.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-052318-Obama-Hillary-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s not true. The IG report now indicates she was sending sensitive information &#8212; unsecured &#8212; using her private email address to Barack Obama, who knew she was using a private email address. The added injury is while she was traveling! She was doing this from foreign countries where, folks, whether you like to admit it ordained, Americans are monitored and spied on in foreign countries just like we constantly spy on, say, the Russian ambassador, Kislyak. Every time he went to lunch, had a conversation, we were wiretapping him.<\/p>\n<p>They do the same thing with us, and she\u2019s trafficking in unsecure data\/information, and Obama is responding while she is in foreign capitals. That\u2019s all you need to know, if you\u2019re asking, &#8220;Why was Hillary Clinton exonerated and why was she not prosecuted?&#8221; That and that alone. Now, there are other reasons, but that\u2019s paramount, because all of this &#8212; everything in that IG report yesterday, everything about the Trump-Russia collusion story, every bit of it &#8212; happened when Obama was president! All of this happened while the Obama administration was calling the shots and making things happen.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bob in Caldwell, West Virginia, as we get back to the phones. Great to have you, Bob. How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (garbled cell throughout) Doing well, sir. Thanks for taking my call. Because time is precious, I have about three quick points I\u2019d like to make, if I may. No. 1, I spent over 30 years in the government with classified information and a security clearance. For those of us that take our responsibilities seriously, you can assure you, we find this corruption at the FBI reprehensible, and we vote. That\u2019s the point. The next point I\u2019d like to make, you believe there\u2019s two issues that don\u2019t get enough attention or even people are aware of.<\/p>\n<p>One of them is called the &#8220;original classification authority,&#8221; and President Obama designated the secretary of each department with this authority. Under that authority &#8212; they are responsible as the secretary and the original classified &#8212; to make sure that all the information that flows through there is properly marked and classified. Obviously, Hillary didn\u2019t do that. Also, they need to look &#8212; and I see these two points &#8212; at the original classification and the nondisclosure agreement that Hillary signed regarding classified information. They never get enough attention. And I would like to have seen Horowitz address those two issues in his report. To my knowledge, they are conspicuously absent. And &#8212; (garbled cell)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, but Horowitz was not investigating her. He was not&#8230; Comey, FBI investigated her, and Comey exonerated her from dealing with classified material because she didn\u2019t know what the circle C meant. She thought it meant &#8220;copy.&#8221; Horowitz was only investigating the FBI\u2019s investigation of her in terms of whether there was, you know, bias or impropriety or what have you, but not on the guilt or innocence of Hillary. I don\u2019t think he looked at that as his primary purview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Obama lied countless times when he said he never knew she was using an illegal server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":276687,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
