Secretary of shame

This week, the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee conducted a public hearing delving into the policies and procedures the U.S. State Department employs for preserving federal records. Several former State Department witnesses from the time when Secretary Clinton headed the agency were ordered to testify as to what the polices were, if they were followed, and to Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server. Unfortunately, on the advice of their legal counsel, three of those witnesses refused to answer any questions, repeatedly asserting their 5th amendment constitutional right. Another witness refused to show up all together and the one witness who did testify in front of Congress on Tuesday admitted that he had access to Clinton’s private email server that transmitted classified information, but he had absolutely no security clearance whatsoever.
