Secretary Clinton and Foreign Intelligence

For John, BLUF:  Hunny Bunny needs to act.  She can't ride this out.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Yesterday I had a post in which I suggested (pretty much declared) that Ms Hillary Clinton had made a mistake having her EMail on a home server but that her major problem was that she tried to hide this error and thus it is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.  I mentioned President Richard Nixon, of which it has been said "the coverup is worse than the crime".

From Ms Debra Heine, writing for Pajamas Media, we have "Robert Gates:  'Odds Are Pretty High' That Russia, China and Iran Compromised Hillary's Server".

Mr Robert Gates as a former Secretary of Defense and a former Director of the CIA.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates believes that "the odds are pretty high” that countries like Iran, China, and Russia hacked Hillary Clinton’s email server when she was secretary of State.

Gates made the statement on Hugh Hewitt's radio talk show on Thursday, where he discussed his new book “A Passion for Leadership,” as well as a host of other issues in the news.

That is the danger.  And, if it has been hacked by experts Ms Clinton might never have noticed it.

I don't think it is too late for Ms Clinton to make a clean breast of it, but she has to go all the way and not quibble about this or that detail.♠  And she has to do it pretty soon.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠  On the other hand, it is possible that they is holding back on the advice of her lawyer.  The concern would be that if she admitted an error it would be the basis for an indictment.  That would be a good reason to say nothing.
