State Department: We Want to Announce "Loud and Clear" That Hillary's Hidden Emails Are "Not Acceptable"

The Hill.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email account run through a private server was "not acceptable" and happened without officials' knowledge, a top State Department record-keeper said on Wednesday.

"I think the message is loud and clear that that is not acceptable," Joyce Barr, the State Department’s assistant secretary for the Bureau of Administration, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"The actions that we’ve taken in the course of recovering these emails has made it very clear what the responsibilities are with regard to record-keeping," she added in remarks at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on government transparency....

That's not the only slap-down Hillary has gotten from current Administration officials today on her lawlessness. She announced she would now extend Dreamer status to the parents of Dreamers, using her Powers of the Queen.

She's just going to Decree it in her Queenly Beauty.

As Allah points out, Obama, who is already acting lawlessly in decreeing his own amnesty, flinched from this specific measure, finding it too lawless.

But not the Haggard Queen.

Clinton said she'd differ from Obama by interpreting existing law to permit other groups, including the parents of DREAMers, to apply for protected status under the banner of "sympathetic cases."

Her campaign posted a general explanation of her thinking, but did not respond to emailed questions from RCP....

"We should put in place a simple, straightforward, and accessible way for parents of DREAMers, and others with a history of service and contribution to their communities, to make their case and be eligible for the same deferred action as their children," she continued.

The president last year explained to disappointed immigrant families that he did not extend deportation waivers to all parents of DREAMers because administration legal experts told him he did not have that authority.

Clinton did not explain Tuesday why her legal analysis differs, if indeed it does. “A history of service and contribution to their communities" -- her phrase -- suggested a separate category for protected status.

By "service and contribution to their communities," she means no murders in their records (but manslaughter is fine) and only a couple of rapes.

That's not a joke, by the way. That's Obama's standard. He's "Dreamed" a lot of killers, rapists, molesters, and drug smugglers.

But the White House has just put out the word that they are unable to see any legal means by which The Haggard Queen might accomplish this, as if that's in any way relevant.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Obama did as much as he legally could as far as deferring deportations. So he was at a loss as to how a President Clinton could justify doing more, as the candidate promised to do on Tuesday at an event in Las Vegas. Story Continued Below

Asked repeatedly whether additional actions would be illegal, Earnest deferred to Clinton's team.
